Lua script not registered
by John Kitzmiller 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

I hope this does not open another thread with the same name, but I did not find a way to respond directly within the archive--something else I am missing or will ntg find the reference? Here it goes... Thank you for response luigi. The story: OS = Windows7 professional I also have MikTeX installed which I use routinely for pdfLaTeX and METAPOST from TeXworks download context-setup-mswin.zip<http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip> from the wiki unzip to C:\context run from shell C:\context>first-setup.bat --modules=all add to PATH C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\ run from shell C:\context>first-setup.bat --keep Then create tex file \starttext Hello world \stopptext in different location. Navigate shell to that location and >context firstfile.tex Result is message context: The Lua script is not registered. context: Data: context Aha! I tried moving firstfile.tex into C:\context and then run and it works, but takes 11.62 seconds--not so good. However, I still get Lua script not registered when I try to run from other file locations, which makes me think it is PATH problem that I will continue to chase but if anything looks obvious please help. --johnk

Formatting footnote numbers (in text)
by Chris Lott 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I'm new to ConTeXt, but I have searched for this myself... I'm trying to format the footnote numbers that appear in the text of my documents. I've used this to change them from being blue (there may be a better way-- I am generating PDFs for print, so don't need the hyperlinks) using the following: \setupinteraction[state=start,color=black,contrastcolor=black] Is this where I would control other formatting (size, face, format)? Can anyone provide or point to an example of formatting footnote numbers in text area of a doc? c -- Chris Lott

no color with interaction and reference format
by Stefan Müller 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi list, when I am using reference formats to put text in front of my text references, I get no color. Please see the following minimal example \setupinteraction[state=start] \definereferenceformat[insec][text=section~] \starttext \section[mylabel]{A Section} A Reference to \in{section}[mylabel] and \insec[mylabel]. \stoptext On my machine only the first reference is red (aka colored), but I think both should be, as it was some betas ago. Is this a bug or has the interface changed? I'm using standalone 20111125 21:29 MkIV. Thanks in advance! Stefan

Lua script not registered
by John Kitzmiller 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hello. Trying to make my first doc with ConTeXt (Win7, standalone install) I get the error: context: The Lua script is not registered context: Data: context and I am taken back to the command prompt. Nothing is produced. Any ideas? What did I overlook? After `texing otherwise for years I am really looking forward to diving into ConTeXt. Thanks, John

Why does the oldstyle numerals switch, \os, also switch off m-dashes?
by Pavneet Arora 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I enclose a minimal example as well as the output. It would seem that the \os causes the m-dash to come out as three hyphens. Is this the expected behaviour? advTHANKSance. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora

In MetaPost: After putting something in a picture, one can draw its boundaries with "draw boundingbox thepicture". Is it possible to obtain at that point the dimensions of this boudingbox in order to do some calculations with them? Hans van der Meer

Escaping a special character in a MetaPost figure within a ConTeXt document fails
by Raymond LeClair 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I have escaped the '#' character in the usual way, using a backslash, as '\#' in a btex...etex picture as part of a MetaPost figure created within a ConTeXt document, but the escaped character still causes the ConTeXt processing to fail. Here is an example... \pdfminorversion=5 \definepapersize[LG1][width=4.25in,height=6.875in] \definepapersize[LP1][width=4.25in,height=6.875in] \setuppapersize[LG1][LP1] \definelayout[frontmatter] [topspace=0.222222222222in,header=0.555555555556in,height=6.43055555556in,footer=0.694444444444in, backspace=1.05555555556in,width=2.86111111111in,location=middle, leftmargindistance=0.222222222222in,rightmargindistance=0.222222222222in, leftmargin=0.833333333333in,rightmargin=0.111111111111in] \definefont[TitleFont][Serif sa 3.5] \definecolor[TransparentWhite][b=1,t=0,a=1] \def \FrontMatterTitle { \startreusableMPgraphic{frontmattertitle:\overlaywidth:\overlayheight} matter_paper_width := 4.25in; matter_paper_height := 6.875in; front_left_margin := 0.388888888889in; top_margin := 0.347222222222in; draw (0, 0)--(matter_paper_width, matter_paper_height) withpen pencircle scaled 1bp withcolor white; picture titleText; % == HERE IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM == titleText := btex {\vbox{\hsize 2.72916666667in \baselineskip 38.0pt \setupalign[flushleft,hyphenated,verytolerant] \TitleFont THE BEGINNINGS OF \#BOOM}} etex; labeloffset := 0bp; label.lrt(titleText, (front_left_margin, matter_paper_height - top_margin)); \stopreusableMPgraphic \reuseMPgraphic{frontmattertitle:\overlaywidth:\overlayheight} } \defineoverlay[frontmattertitle][\FrontMatterTitle] \starttext \setuplayout[frontmatter] {\TransparentWhite\title{...}} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={{frontmattertitle}},state=repeat] {\TransparentWhite\midaligned{...}} \stoptext

math font
by Hans van der Meer 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Instead of the mathfont'a italics I would like to try an upright typeface. See for example the P.p on the left of the sample, 1-p in the second \pmatrix and the toprow in the last one. How can I do this globally, there by avoiding avoiding the need to sprinkle \mathrm's all around as in: \pmatrix{\mathrm p\cr\mathrm 1-p\cr}. A single \mathrm in front as not enough for the matrices. By the way, this comes from the lucida typescript. Hans van der Meer

MPpage-MPcode
by Hans van der Meer 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Can someone give me a short explanation of the difference between the various metapost "enclosures" in MetaFun? such as \startMPpage-\stopMPpage, \startMPcode-\stopMPcode? I am on the lookout for a setup in which textext can be used and where the figure comes out clipped, i.e. not contained in a full page with lots of surrounding whitespace. Note without textext doing framed's etc. there is no problem. The problem arises when the pageheight and pagewidth come into play. Hans van der Meer

mptopdf TeX text problem
by Martin Bruchanov 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Hello, what is the proper way of using MetaPost with TeX text? I have two examples: beginfig(1); draw unitsquare scaled(1cm); draw textext("$\pi$") shifted((0.5,0.5)*cm); % label(btex $\pi$ etex, origin); endfig; end mptopdf --metafun produces only "unknown" where the Pi symbol should be and when I uncomment label the following problem occurs: Output written on test-temp.dvi (2 pages, 256 bytes). Transcript written on test-temp.log. TeXExec | runtime: 0.16436 This is MetaPost, version 1.504 (kpathsea version 6.0.0) mpost: Not writing to .log (openout_any = p). ! I can't write on file `.log'. Please type another transcript file name: ... !pdfTeX error: pdftex (file lmmi12): Font lmmi12 at 600 not found ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! MPtoPDF 1.4.1 : error while processing tex file ----------------------------------------------- But, when I put source in \startMPpage draw unitsquare scaled(1cm); draw textext("$\pi$") shifted((0.5,0.5)*cm); label(btex $\pi$ etex, origin); \stopMPpage and call context, the output PDF is okay. So what is proper way to use TeX inside mpost nowaday?
