That works awesome Taco. Thanks a lot. It doesn't matter that it can't accept multiple keys easily and put on their own lines, since it wouldn't make sense if you've got extra={} data to add anyways. > Perhaps, but I have never seen it done like that, and it takes more > than a bit of programming to make the bibliography module do that. > Sorry, no time for that.

I wonder if there is some additional information renderer's need, such as a value for gamma correction or a colour profile that I need to stuff in my environment file to make it work? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Notepad++ configuration
by Luiz Borges 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Can anybody tell me how to correctly configure Notepad++ to use ConTeXt? I'm just starting with ConTeXt (and Tex BTW) and Scite seems to be too unpolished. One advantage that I can see of Scite over Notepad++ is that it has some autocompletion, besides that I think the interface and its "tools" are terrible. Also, is there anyother noteworthy editor that works nicely with standalone context? Preferably with spell-check and auto-completion. Regards, Luiz Borges

Project structure, (simple)font woes
by Mari Voipio 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hello all, I'm trying to teach myself to use the project structure. After a few rounds of trial and error (...and stupid naming schemes...) I'm almost there, but got stuck at my font setups. If I do this as a single file, it works fine (Win7 and newest ConTeXt, updated it this morning): % FONT related setups \usemodule[simplefonts] % to get access to Calibri & Cambria, win ttf fonts \starttypescript[Manuals] \definetypeface[Manuals] [rm] [serif] [cambria] [default] [rscale=0.95] \definetypeface[Manuals] [ss] [sans] [calibri] [default] [rscale=0.9] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[Manuals] \setupbodyfont[Manuals,10pt,sans] % end of font setups \starttext \input knuth \stoptext However, if I make a really simple project structure and try to put the above in an environment file, compiling fails. What am I missing here? proj-test.tex: \startproject proj-test \environment env-fonts-simplefonts \product prd-test1 \stopproject prd-test1.tex: \startproduct prd-test1 \project proj-test \input knuth \stopproduct env-fonts-simplefonts: \startenvironment env-fonts-simplefonts % FONT related setups \usemodule[simplefonts] % to get access to Calibri & Cambria, win ttf fonts \starttypescript[Manuals] \definetypeface[Manuals] [rm] [serif] [cambria] [default] [rscale=0.95] \definetypeface[Manuals] [ss] [sans] [calibri] [default] [rscale=0.9] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[Manuals] \setupbodyfont[Manuals,10pt,sans] % end of font setups \stopenvironment If I look at proj-test.log (the whole thing attached), I think the problem is here: loading > ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts <+ C:/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua>) (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-cambria.mkiv) (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-cleartype.mkiv) fonts > defining > font with asked name 'LMMathRoman-Regular' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font LMMathRoman-Regular, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define LMMathRoman-Regular as [Manuals-10pt-mm-mr--3] fonts > defining > font with asked name 'LMMathRoman-Regular' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font LMMathRoman-Regular, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define LMMathRoman-Regular as [Manuals-10pt-mm-mr--2] fonts > defining > font with asked name 'LMMathRoman-Regular' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font LMMathRoman-Regular, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define LMMathRoman-Regular as [Manuals-10pt-mm-mr--1] But why? What is it I should do differently? ...I wouldn't even need any math fonts... Regards, Mari

How to process a project residing in another directory
by Helge Blischke 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

I try to process a ConTeXt project residing in a directory different from the current directory (where context is called), imagine e.g. a NFS mounted directory on a different host. I tried to point context to the project directory by specifying it by the command line option --path=absolute_path_to_the_directory but that did not work. Helge

Chinese hyphenation / line splitting
by John Devereux 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

Hi All, We are having a go at typesetting one of our manuals in Chinese (gulp). Is there some trick to getting hyphenation working? (Or perhaps "line-splitting" is a better term, I don't even know if hyphens are used in Chinese). What I see in the PDF are unbroken lines running off the edge of the page. If I manually insert spaces, then the lines do break but seem to go slightly past the right-hand edge of the paper (so parts of the characters are lost). Sample text is from what I think is the Chinese section of Wikipedia, hopefully is not offensive... ====================================================================== \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Adobe Heiti Std] %\setmainfont[Arial Unicode MS] \starttext \mainlanguage[zh] 阿梅莉亚·埃尔哈特（1897年－1937年）是一位著名的美國女性飛行員和女权运动者。埃爾哈特是第一位获得飞行优异十字勋章、第一位独自飞越大西洋的女飞行员。她还创了许多其他纪录，将自身的飞行经历編寫成非常畅销的書籍，並協助建立了一个女飞行员组织。1937年，當她嘗試全球首次環球飛行時，在飛越太平洋期間神秘失蹤。至今为止她的生活、生涯和消失一直使人神往。阿梅莉亚·埃尔哈特在她生前就已经是一名国际名人了。她腼腆感人的外貌、独立性、持久性、在压力下保持安静、勇气、有目标的生涯以及年轻时就失踪使得她在流行文化中成为一个持久的名人。关于她的生平出版过数百文章和许多书，这些书往往作为尤其是对女孩子的勉励的读物。 \stoptext ====================================================================== Thanks, John -- John Devereux
