\bf disturbs flowing of text around image
by Martin Althoff 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

In the example below (just updated minimals too) the \bf in the second paragraph prevents the text flowing around the picture, the text runs over the picture. Take \bf out and all is fine. If I use an \input statement instead of the lorem text the effect does not show. The image name is deliberate -- it does not exist on my system. What's going on? How to cause the text to flow around again? Thanks, Martin \starttext \input aesop-de \placefigure[right]{bild}{\externalfigure[blah.jpg][width=.3\textwidth]} \input aesop-de \placefigure[right]{bild}{\externalfigure[blah.jpg][width=.3\textwidth]} {\bf some stuff} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Making a feedback form
by Cecil Westerhof 29 Aug '10

I want to make a feedback form with ConTeXt. I hoped that there would be templates for this, but I did not find any. Are there no templates, or did I not look good? -- Cecil Westerhof

creating own hyperlinks in bibliography
by Mojca Miklavec 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Dear Taco, I would like to add some additional fields to bibliography. I know that I have already asked the same question twice (for url and doi) and each time it has been built into the core functionality, while my current request is "too local" to do that. I would like to have \newbibfield[cobissid] \startpublication [...] ... \cobissid{70615} \stoppublication and then I would modify \setuppublicationlayout[book] to transform the number written above into "cobiss.si-id: 70615" pointing to the following URL: http://www.cobiss.si/scripts/cobiss?command=DISPLAY&base=cobib&rid=70615&la… That is very similar to what DOI does at the moment, but while DOI is quite international, COBISS ID is really local, but it is *the* system used in the whole country. Is there any simple & safe way to achieve that? Thank you very much, Mojca

Fwd: Re: problem with mpost/metafun/MKII/MKIV???

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [NTG-context] problem with mpost/metafun/MKII/MKIV??? Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:04:28 +0000 From: Rene van Hassel <r.hassel1(a)chello.nl> To: Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> Hello Taco, sorry, but I will tell you my resulst so far. After installing Texlive 2009, and I put the directory of texlive open for writing as usr, so chmod 777 /usr/local/texlive, I followed all kind of suggestions on the page of ConTeXt-garden, such as the generation of luatools and go so on. I also put your suggestion in the texmf.conf file of version 2009, and I put the paths to the new texlive version into the .profile file. It took very long time before the file was "compiled" completely, much longer as before, with texlive version 2007. But I got my "decorations" back. I have only the idea that is worked with MKII and not with MKIV, I have no idea if this is in the line of the development of ConTeXt? Has MKIV to be used or MKII? If I do as user which pdflatex and so on I get answers back with /usr/local/texlive/2009.. , so I have the idea that texlive 2009 is used. The following command: texexec --version gives: /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/system.rb:16: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-linux in PATH, mode 040777 TeXExec | version 6.2.1 - 1997-2009 - PRAGMA ADE/POD I don't like that "insecure world writable", but oke for the moment being. There is also used, much space of the hard-disk in the home directory. I think that I will not try to do this at my ASUS eee PC, with the 16Gb SDD! The operating system is almost (4/3)times what is was. (Two texlive systems.) I not really trust it, but oke for this moment, greetings, Rene'

extra blank page in front of standardmakeup
by Mojca Miklavec 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Dear list, how can I prevent a blank page in front of title page in MKIV (apart from the fact that font switching is not working)? In MKII this is working perfectly fine. \starttext \startstandardmakeup {\switchtobodyfont[50pt]\bf\centerline{Title}} \vskip 3cm {\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\centerline{\sl(manual)}} % \sl doesn't work either \stopstandardmakeup bla \stoptext Thank you very much, Mojca (a proud user of MKII :) :) :)

problem with mpost/metafun/MKII/MKIV???
by Rene van Hassel 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Hello Members, I have a problem with texlive 2009. In the version 2007, I made some file with "decorations", made by metapost.Then you got a list of numbered -mpgraph files. In the version 2009, I don't getns these files and my .pdf files are without the "decorations". With "decorations" I mean blocks around pieces of text, witin a lecture note. Also the first page is white, till it was first green with some figures on it. While texexec works, I see mpgraph files but only numbered by .1, in the 2007 version it started by 4000 and it went to almost 3650. I see also that there is made use of MKIV instead of MKII in the 2007 version. What to do such that the 2009 version, gives the same result as the 2007 version. I installed the 2009 version of the TUG side with tlmgr and almost everything of texlive is installed. Only most of the languages are not installed, further everything, greetings, Rene'

startenumerate in romans a la LaTeX
by Xan 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hi, I just want to simulate the behaviour of \usepackage{enumerate} ... \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item \end{enumerate} in ConTeXt. That is: - items in (i), (ii), .... - right indentation of items: in context items start at the same point. In LaTeX is the item text itself who starts at the same point, not the romans. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Xan. PS: Please CCme.
