How can I properly credit ConTeXt
by Marco Pessotto 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hello there. This was meant to be a mail to say thanks to the ConTeXt/LuaTeX teams for the wonderful work they did and are doing. I'm pretty new to ConTeXt but I'm really impressed. It happens that I'm typesetting a journal that will hit the printer soon. Now, the question sounds: how can I credit ConTeXt/LuaTeX properly? (no, it won't generate any profit so I can't really donate some bucks; as a matter of fact I'm volunteering this) I was thinking about something like: \vfill \startalignment[center] Typeset with \ConTeXt\ and \luaTeX\ \goto{\hyphenatedurl{http://wiki.contextgarden.net}} [url(http://wiki.contextgarden.net)] \blank[big] Fonts used: Linux Libertine \goto{\hyphenatedurl{http://www.linuxlibertine.org}} [url(http://www.linuxlibertine.org)] \stopalignment Is it OK? Best wishes -- Marco

normal font incorrectly set to italic
by Philipp A. 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

hi, when i build my context mark iv font database via mtxrun --script font --reload, for some fonts i get italics when i want normal fonts, most notably with “cambria” and “envy code r”. with cambria, this is likely due to the fact that the regular and math variants are served within a .ttc file. \setmainfont[Cambria][regularfont=Cambria Math] does the trick (i use simplefonts), as well as some obscure chinese ttc2ttf program i found on the web. with envy code r, i have no idea. mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern="envy*" yields: envycoder envycoder /home/phil/.fonts/Envy Code R 7/Envy Code R.ttf envycoderbold envycoderbold /home/phil/.fonts/Envy Code R 7/Envy Code R Bold.ttf envycoderitalic envycoderitalic /home/phil/.fonts/Envy Code R 7/Envy Code R Italic.ttf envycodernormal envycoderitalic /home/phil/.fonts/Envy Code R 7/Envy Code R Italic.ttf you can see the problem. how can i circumvent it? thanks, phil

Second Try for help using Windows 7 Winedt 6.0 MiKTeX 2.9 to process ConTeXt
by barndog1946＠gmail.com 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Perhaps Taco could find time to explore this?? Recently MikTeX enabled ConTeXt using Luatex .60. I love ConteXt and was using it UNTIL MiKTeX stopped support in version 2.8. I try to process a ConteXt file now using: Windows 7, Winedt 6.0 and MikTeX 2.9... I changed to MKIV within MikTeK and luatex tryies to process a TIK test file instead of my master.tex file. Could anyone please advise me on how to get this working? I reallly NEED to use ConTeXt again to continue to publish my research correctly Thanks Barney Schwartz

heading in margin + grid
by Philipp Gesang 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Dear fellow Contexters, there are some subheadings I’d like to place in the margin approximately like that: ···8<···························································· \def\text{knuth} \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setuphead[section][ %grid=yes, style={\tf\bf\color[red]}, command=\placeheadinmargin, before=,after=, ] \setupwhitespace[none] \def\placeheadinmargin#1#2{% %\margintitle{#2}% \margintitle{\raise-\baselineskip\hbox{#2}}% needed with grid } \starttext \dorecurse{10}{% \section{\text} \input \text \par } \stoptext ···8<···························································· Question is: how do I get rid of the empty line before the heading? I thought I exhausted every possibility by unsetting the ‘after’ and ‘before’ keys and disabling interpar whitespace -- but not quite! Thanks for any suggestions, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Better info for chart module
by Cecil Westerhof 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

I found and use http://www.ntg.nl/maps/23/16.pdf. But this is from 1999, so I was wondering if there is more uptodate information. Especially I am wondering about the status from what is told by other features. -- Cecil Westerhof

Anybody have an XML pretty printer ConTeXt document? That would make a great example of generic XML processing. Thanks, -pd

Creating graphic file instead of PDF
by Cecil Westerhof 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

I am making flowcharts with ConTeXt. Because the flowcharts have to be included in other documents, I would like to make graphic files (jpeg, png, ...). Also not bigger as needed to represent the flowchart. Can this be done. -- Cecil Westerhof

How to circumvent crossing of the lines

I have the folowing document: \usemodule[chart] \starttext \setupFLOWcharts [ dx=2\bodyfontsize, dy=2\bodyfontsize, height=3.1\lineheight, maxwidth=\textwidth, nx=5, ny=4, ] \startFLOWchart[example] \startFLOWcell \connection [bt]{isErEenProbleem} \connection [rl]{urenInvoeren} \location {2,1} \name {tijdOver} \shape {45} \text {Is er tijd voor een volgend ticket?} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [rl]{klaar} \location {3,1} \name {urenInvoeren} \shape {action} \text {Leg gebruikte uren vast} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [bt]{ticketKlaar} \connection [lr]{contactTon} \location {2,2} \name {isErEenProbleem} \shape {45} \text {Treed er een probleem op?} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [tt]{tijdOver} \location {1,2} \name {contactTon} \shape {action} \text {Neem contact op met Ton} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [bt]{meldOpgelost} \connection [lt]{tijdOver} \location {2,3} \name {ticketKlaar} \shape {45} \text {Is ticket opgelost?} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [lt]{tijdOver} \location {2,4} \name {meldOpgelost} \shape {action} \text {Meld ticket opgelost} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[example] \stoptext But the lines from ticketKlaar and meldOpgelost to tijdOver cross the line from isErEenProbleem to contactTon. Is there a way to make the lines pass contactTon to the left, so the lines do not cross? -- Cecil Westerhof

Is the chart module broken?
by Cecil Westerhof 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

In the past I have used the chart module for a little flow chart in a presentation. I wanted to make again flow charts. But I did not get it working. I just compiled my old version again, but this does not work also. The chart is drawn, but the boxes and lines are invisible. That is not very usefull. What could be the problem? When executing 'texexec --check' I get: MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.03 seconds TeXExec | current distribution: web2c TeXExec | context source date: 2009.08.19 17:10 TeXExec | format path: . /home/cecil/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /var/lib/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /usr/lib/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /usr/local/share/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /usr/share/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf/web2c /var/lib/texmf/web2c /home/cecil/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /etc/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /var/lib/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /usr/lib/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /usr/share/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /home/cecil/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf/web2c /var/lib/texmf/web2c /usr/lib/texmf/web2c /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c /usr/share/texmf/web2c TeXExec | start of analysis TeXExec | end of analysis TeXExec | TeXExec | TeXExec | version 6.2.1 - 1997-2009 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | TeXUtil | version 9.1.0 - 1997-2005 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | CtxTools | version 1.3.5 - 2004/2008 - PRAGMA ADE As a side note: is it possible to generate a JPG file instead of a PDF file? -- Cecil Westerhof M CLDWesterhof(a)gmail.com O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please do not send me Microsoft Office/Apple iWork documents.
