EuroTeX 2012 / 6th ConTeXt Meeting
by Taco Hoekwater 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hi all, Invitation ========== EuroTeX 2012, the sixth ConTeXt meeting, the NTG najaarsbijeenkomst, and Dante's Herbsttagung will all be held together at the same time and place in Breskens, the Netherlands, on October 8 - October 12 The organisation of the conference is a joint effort of the NTG, Dante and the ConTeXt Group. Call for papers =============== We all know already that TeX is one of the best tools in the world for all forms of professional typesetting. But also, it is one of the very few totally programmable tools in the world, and that makes it possible to adapt TeX (as well as many accompanying tools) to a very, very large extent. Breskens is a small beach town that lives mostly off tourism, and people on vacation tend to do slightly odd, relaxing things that they do not normally have time for. Combining these two, the motto of this conference is: Recreational uses of TeX Of course, as usual on a TeX conference, we are not too picky about the topic of talks and as recreational also embeds "creation", this theme opens up to whatever you can make to fit in. Just be creative. Please send submissions (and other proposals) to eurotex AT ntg.nl. Registering =========== Registration is open starting today, and will be possible until September 10. See http://www.ntg.nl/eurotex2012/ for additional details. The programme promises to be quite interesting, so we hope to see you there! On behalf of the organising committee, Taco Hoekwater PS Please forward this message to whoever seems appropriate to you.

LuaTeX error after update to ubuntu 12.04
by S Barmeier 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

After updating to ubuntu 12.04, my shouts of joy were smothered by the following !LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading () ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 70 I ran mtxrun --script fonts --reload, updated to the latest context version, ran luatools --generate and context --make and still am presented with the above error message after 10-15 minutes of paralysing processing. The compiling seems to run as always, until it reaches the last page, at which point the computer freezes and takes about 10 minutes to present me with the error. The following is another snapshot of the output which I noticed for the first time: system > logs > lua: compiling /home/user/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/fonts/otf/andika-r.tma into /home/user/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/fonts/otf/andika-r.tmc fonts > otf loading > preprocessing and caching took 73.009 seconds Any ideas where to start? Many thanks, Severin

Uncovering Slides in a Presentation with Progress Meter
by Troy Henderson 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

I am trying to uncover content within an itemized list, and I am using \phantom to get the desired effect. However, I would like to tweak the progress meter to consider these "pages" as the same instead of separate. I am pasting a minimal example below, and I would like to know if (1) there is a more "standard" way (instead of using \phantom) of uncovering the second item in the itemized list (2) the progress meter can be modified to illustrate 3 (instead of 4) total pages AND not have the progress meter change between pages 2 and 3 (since I want to view them as the same "page") Troy Henderson -- \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupinteraction[page=yes,menu=on,state=start] \setupsubpagenumber[state=start] \setuplayout[bottom=12pt] \startinteractionmenu[bottom] \interactionbar[alternative=f] \stopinteractionmenu \starttext First page \page \startitemize \item Foo \phantom{ \item Bar } \stopitemize \page \startitemize \item Foo \item Bar \stopitemize \page Last page \stoptext

Units module and unbowed letters ..
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Hello ConTeXist. When I work with Units module, I gain at the output of the greek "mi" letter an italic font. It seems strange. It is so in terms of typography correctly or not? Can also be used for typing (with units module) unbowed letters? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my example: \usemodule[units] \usetypescript[times][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] \starttext 5\,\Micro\Meter 5\,\uMeter 5\,μm \stoptext

The place was Hartford, Connecticut. The day has gone down in New England history as a terrible foretaste of Judgement Day. For at noon the skies turned from blue to grey and by mid-afternoon had blackened over so densely that, in that religious age, men fell on their knees and begged a final blessing before the end came. The Connecticut House of Representatives was in session. And, as some of the men fell down and others clamored for an immediate adjournment, the Speaker of the House, one Col. Davenport, came to his feet. He silenced them and said these words: "The day of judgment is either approaching or it is not. If it is not, there is no cause for adjournment. If it is, I choose to be found doing my duty. I wish therefore that candles may be brought." -- Alistair Cooke

generating two additional list from notes
by Pablo Rodríguez 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Hi there, I have the following minimal sample: \definenote[dict] \setupnotation[dict][number=no] \starttext \chapter{First chapter} This is my dictionary\dict{dictionary: vocabulario} command\dict{command: orden} for a complex\dict{complex: complejo} text\dict{text: texto}. \chapter{Second chapter} This\dict{this: éste} is my\dict{my: mi} dictionary command for a complex. \stoptext What I try with the \dict command is a kind of in-page dictionary for the body text. But I would like to have two automatically-generated lists from the \dict command. The first list should contain all \dict entries alphabetically ordered. The second list should contain all \dict entries but grouped by page in which they occur (having a \subject{Page [number]} title) and alphabetically ordered. I don't even know what to search. Does anyone know how to generate these two additional lists? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

bug with \setupnotation[number=no] and sectioning commands
by Pablo Rodríguez 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Hi there, I'm afraid that note numbering in body text is wrong in latest beta. Here you have a sample that shows the bug: \setupnotation[footnote][number=no] \setuphead[chapter][number=no] \starttext \chapter{First chapter} one\footnote{two} \section{First section} three\footnote{four} \stoptext There should be no note numbering, but the body text takes the sectioning command number for the footnote references (which is obviously wrong). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\phantom{\item ... }
by Troy Henderson 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Using \phantom to hide an itemized item does not reserve the (vertical) space for the item as I expect. That is, in the following example \starttext \startitemize \item Foo \phantom{\item Bar} \item Boo \stopitemize \stoptext the second item is hidden, but in fact, the space for that item has not been allocated at all. Why is this, and more importantly to me, how can I get the space allocated without using hackish transparent colors? Thanks in advance, Troy Henderson

[***SPAM***] Trying to get two styles simultaneiously
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

I have been wrestling with this for hours and I'm sure there's a real easy fix. Just that it's eluding me. How can I use \definedescription to set a combination style? e.g. Below I can get a capitalized description header: \definedescription[rsection][location=left,width=broad,headstyle=cap] but, I also want it to be bold. That is a bold+cap at the same time. I tried \bf\cap as a headcommand but it didn't seem to work, as was just ignored. Regards
