Metafont usage
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hi List, hi Hans, I want to use the open source MetaFont for suetterlin and schwellbacher in a document, is there somewhere a guide where to put them and how to load them in ConTeXt or could they be included into the ConTeXt tree. If I get a hint how I would also provide a .map file for them if needed. The link to the fonts is http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/entries/sueterlin.html Greetings and thanks for the fast help I get here in gerneral... -- Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz Auf dem Sattler 4 34516 Ederbringhausen Germany Phone: +49 6454 799623 mobile: +49 176 63301749 Fax: +49 6454 7990138 e-Mail: scholz.m82(a)googlemail.com ++?????++ Out of Cheese Error.

Re: [NTG-context] Defining a command for enumeration+block
by Glen Callaghan 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hi Wolfgang, With MkIV blocks are hidden by default while MkII prints them, add \keepblocks[Block] to your document and the blocks will appear. Using \keepblocks worked thanks. Unfortunately, now the \reset command doesn't seem to work in mkiv (see attachment), but's ok in mkii. Glen ------- \defineblock[Block] \defineenumeration[Enum][location=left,text=Test] \setupblock[Block][before=\startEnum,after=\stopEnum] \keepblocks[Block] \starttext \section{Use} \useblocks[Block] \reset[Enum] \section{Define} \beginBlock jhdsa hdsfhj lh dsfjh jkhasdf sdakjhfsal sdkajhf kljsdh \endBlock \beginBlock jhdsa hdsfhj lh dsfjh jkhasdf sdakjhfsal sdkajhf kljsdh fhlkjsad kah dkjh akjhd flkjs lkjsad flkjh salkjhf asd \endBlock \stoptext

Scaling with \filterpages not working?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hello, I'm trying similar code as described on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_document: --- \starttext \filterpages[1.pdf][2][width=15cm] \page \filterpages[1.pdf][2][width=5cm] \stoptext --- But I'm still getting the same picture - scaled to (probably) \textwidth. Bug? My mistake? So how to scale to paper width (or any arbitrary value)? - ConTeXt ver: 2010.11.03 19:42 MKIV fmt: 2010.11.12 int: english/english (latest), WinXP Lukas -- Ing.

stack words for explanation
by Jonas Stein 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi, i would like to write an FAQ for maritime distress radio. The spoken words and the "variables" should be highlighted in a nice way. What would you suggest me to do in context? My first idea a bracket or stacked words like this example: MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY THIS IS TITANIC TITANIC TITANIC \--- ship name 3 times----/ Whats your idea? -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

The visual counter module
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi, This is to announce an alpha release of the visual counter module. See http://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/visualcounter-module/ for some examples, in particular http://randomdeterminism.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/theorem.pdf The idea is to display a counter visually, in the same spirit as interactions bars. There is no support for interaction, but, on the plus sides, these work for any conter, not just the page counter. The idea of the module comes from the counters designed by Thomas as part of the simpleslides module. The module only works with MkIV because I am using the new namespace code. So MkII support is unlikely. Anyone else interested in such counters? Aditya

Interaction + Footnotes = invalid page reference
by Andreas Harder 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi again, this is no error, but I wondered why my log is cluttered with "invalid page reference: 0"-messages … till I found out. It seems that every time a reference and its destination are on the same page the above warning is caused. \setupinteraction[state=start] % \setupfootnotes[interaction=no] % yes -> invalid page reference \starttext \dorecurse{10}{test\footnote{footnote}\page} \stoptext Greeting Andreas

Hi, Could anyone suggest me an idea how to draw a guitar string symbol -- a number in a circle? Like this http://www.classicalguitarblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Picture-47.png Maybe some rounded frame? Regards, Vyatcheslav
