Re: [NTG-context] Integration of all the information around ConTeXt

Nearly half of the work is done now. I 've grouped lots of the ConTeXt-commands into categories (subcategories): http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands There you also find commands which are not grouped in subcategories yet. Do you have ideas for more subcategories? If you don't know how to generate them in the Wiki, write the subcategories you suggest here ... and I gladly do the necessary work in the wiki. Regards Jannis

mathml
by Meer, H. van der 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

I have a mathml question: how to typeset properly a function with an argument: f(x)? In the ConTeXt examples for mathml I see for one: <lambda> <bvar> <ci> x </ci> </bvar> </lambda> But is there something like this for f(x), that is an "f" properly typeset? Hans van der Meer

Color Lost when Using 'texexec' vs 'context'
by Malte Stien 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hi all, I am using some darkgray in my documents, as in \color[darkgray] foo... which was working out well as long as I was processing my documents with the 'context' command. I recently started using 'texexec' instead, as in texexec --pdf definitions-acronyms-and-abbreviations.tex (which, I understand is preferable) and strangely, all of my darkgray text is now rendered black. Any ideas why the command makes a difference and what to do about it? Regards, Malte. PS: Sorry, for one of my previous emails in which I replied to the full daily digest, which resulted in a very long email to everyone. Won't happen again.

metapost fonts
by Matej Barič 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hello, In a document I'm writing I'm using urw-garamond font successfully. However I also use metaUML library for metapost where I'd like to have helvetica (or nimbus, heros, etc.). For latin modern sans, I can use this: string metauml_defaultFont; metauml_defaultFont:="ec-lmss10"; But this only works for latin modern sans (which I don't like combined with urwgaramond) but not helvetica. I've tried to use some of txfonts and tex-gyre fonts (which use helvetica/heros/nimbus for their sans-serif) by writing metauml_defaultFont:="txss" and metauml_defaultFont:="ec-qhvcb" but I get an error "pdftex (file rtxss): Font rtxss at 600 not found". I've installed the latest context standalone. Is there any other way to use helvetica in metapost/metauml or how to troubleshoot this error? Thanks, matej

Re: [NTG-context] Line Wrapping/Hyphenation in Chapter/Section Headings

Wolfgang, > Use ?align={flushleft,nothyphenated}?. You mean as in \setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\ss\bf, alternative=inmargin, align={flushleft, nothyphenated}] I tried that and it has no effect. I also found this article here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/35686/avoid-hyphenation-in-chapter-t… ...which suggests using \setuphead[chapter][align={flushleft, nothyphenated, verytolerant}] ...but that makes no difference either. My chapter titles continue to run off the page to the right. I am happy to post an example somewhere if that helps. Thank you, Malte.

Integration of all the information around ConTeXt
by Jan Heinen 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hello, with the help of ConTeXt and the ConTeXt-Mailinglist I successfully have generated a book which will be printed next week :-) Thankl you - everyone! And now I would like to give something back to ConTeXt :-) There is a lot of information around ConTeXt: Material of Hans Hagen, this very dynamic Mailinglist/Forum, the command-reference-list of Wolfgang Schuster and the Contextgarden-Wiki. I think the best what I can do for ConTeXt is helping to structure, organize and integrating the huge amount of existing information. And the wiki ist a very good place to do al this work. Since several years I am running an own wiki with mediawiki. After informing Hans, Taco and Mojca Miklavec, I no have started, to rename all the commands from reference/en/... to command/... The .htaccess takes care, that all the old names will be forwarded to the new names. Then I have build a startting-category: "ConTeXt" and every subcategory is a branch of it. So we have a tree with all the wiki-information starting at "ConTeXt". You can find this startingpoint on http://www.contextgarden.net on the right side: Categories. I have started to organize the sub-categories ... but everyone who likes ConTeXt is invited to improve the wiki. A very good help would be: All the commands of context (more than 500) are in one huge category:commands For the users it would be usefull to build subcategories for the commands. 1. login (or first register on contextgarden.net) 2. Go to a command, e.g. command/about: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/about 3. Click on edit (top of page) 4. go to the bottom of the source-code 5. add to [[category:Commands]] [[category:xxx]] xxx = new name or existing name 6. save the changes 7. now you can see the category at the bottom of the page. 8. if it is red - click on it 9. then write [[category:commands]] to link it to the tree, I hope lot's of you help at least a little bit ... it's fun :-) And it's for ConTeXt. Regards Jannis

more indenting
by Alan Braslau 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

I'm sure that someone is going to tell me that indenting is ugly, bad typesetting practice. But if I do want to use indenting, there are times when it should be suppressed, perhaps automatically (like when immediately following a heading, as is the current practice). The minimal example below is another such situation: \startquotation\stopquotation \setupquotation [before=\noindent,after=\noindent] would be one solution, but it does not work - maybe the syntax is wrong; maybe I'm missing a critical \par. I haven't managed to figure this out myself, looking at the source code. Any suggestions? Thanks! Alan % Minimal example: \setupindenting [big,yes] \setupquotation [before=\noindent] % no effect \starttext \input tufte \startquotation \input tufte \stopquotation \noindent \input tufte \stoptext

Hello, slightly discussed several days ago... Footnote in a combination is not shown anywhere: ---- \starttext \startcombination[1*1] {Aaa\footnote{Footnote}}{} \stopcombination \stoptext ---- Bug, feature (= footnotes are not supposed to be in a combination) or another approach must be chosen to show the footnote?
