Is the Annotation module incompatible with the latest beta?
by Otared Kavian 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Dear Wolfgang, It seems that I cannot use anymore your annotation module with the latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.19 01:47 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.19). For instance the example below stops with an error message saying Undefined control sequence in t-annotation.lua and it seems that \doletannotationparameter is considered to be undefined. Best regards: OK PS: The example file is: %%% begin test-annotation.tex \usemodule[annotation] \setupannotation [text=Annotation , number=yes] \starttext \startannotation The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is like the effect of an old-age patient who smokes many packs of cigarettes per day – and we humans are the cigarettes. \stopannotation \stoptext %%% end test-annotation.tex

Setting up examination sheets
by Otared Kavian 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Dear Hans Van der Meer, Looking for a nice way to set up examination sheets with ConTeXt I found your hvdm-exm module very interesting, but unfortunatley I could not typeset a short test file extracted from your MAPS article Exam papers: posing questions to students which dates from 2006. Is there an updated version of your module usable with mkiv, or have you other solutions for setting up problems sheets? Thanks in advance: OK

(exuberant) ctags and ConTeXt
by Chris Lott 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Does anyone have a current working configuration for exuberant-ctags (I'm using it in vim) to work with ConTeXt? The ctags FAQ shows how to do it for LaTeX with regexes in a configuration file... http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/extend.html I can hack away at those, but in case anyone has done this already I wouldn't have to reinvent that particular wheel. c -- Chris Lott <chris(a)chrislott.org>

simplefonts broken?
by Pablo Rodríguez 18 Dec '11

18 Dec '11

Hi there, after upgrading TL2011 today and having installed a new version of simplefonts, I cannot get this sample working: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext \TeX \stoptext The error I get reads: ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 2 in file a.tex: Undefined control sequence ... 1 \usemodule[simplefonts] 2 >> \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] 3 \starttext 4 \TeX 5 \stoptext 6 7 \setuppapersize[A4] 8 \setuppagenumbering[alternative=singlesided,location=middle] 9 \starttext 10 \showlayout 11 \dorecurse{4}{\input dawkins \par \input knuth \par} 12 \stoptext <recently read> \setmainfont l.2 \setmainfont [TeX Gyre Pagella] I don't know whether this happens because I'm not using the latest beta, but many TL2011 users will face the same situation. I had to restore the package to its previous version? Would you be so kind to test it, Wolfgang? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
