formula, indentation
by R. Bastian 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hello, I use texexec (mk ii). In the resulting PDF, the indentation of the second formula is a bit shorter: \startformula y_i = x_i + \sum b_j\, x_{(i-M_j)} \stopformula \startformula y_i = x_i + \sum a_j\, y_{(i-M_j)}. \stopformula -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org http://www.soundsurvey.org.uk/

section -> classe
by R. Bastian 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hello, I use texexec (mk ii). I use the following head definition: \definehead[classe][section] \setuphead[classe] [style=type, textstyle=tfc, indentnext=yes, alternative=inmargin, align=broad] The result is numbered, but the title of the section/classe does not appear in the toc. What is missing ? -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org http://www.soundsurvey.org.uk/

CharisSIL doesn't load
by Martin Althoff 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Using the typescript for CharisSIL as given doesn't work for me. "Modern" is substituted (as should be). It appears to load the mkiv file, but not the fonts, What am I doing wrong? Example below. (on Mac: MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35, LuaTeX, Version beta-0.61.0-2010072816) -- I have adapted to the type-charissil.mkiv to fit the font names as reported on my system and set OSFONTDIR=/System/Library/Fonts;~/FontLib/opensource;/Library/Fonts;~/FontLib/context-use; mtxrun --script font --list --all --name --pattern=charis charissil charissil /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILR.ttf charissilbold charissilbold /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILB.ttf charissilbolditalic charissilbolditalic /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILBI.ttf charissilitalic charissilitalic /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILI.ttf charissilnormal charissilitalic /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILI.ttf The output shows that the the mkiv file is certainly found: (/Users/martin/contextMini/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/typescripts/type-charissil.mkiv) It _will_ work perfectly fine, i.e. work-around, if I combine the type-charissil.tex and type-charissil.mkiv into a single file! See my working type-charissil.mkiv below. I also hide the .tex file!

Hi all, for some reason, hyphenation for ancient Greek isn't working in the latest current. test file: \usetypescript[type-gentium] \setupbodyfont[gentium,12pt] \starttext \hyphenatedword{allegorical} {\fr\hyphenatedword{détoxication}} {\agr\hyphenatedword{φιλοσοφούμενα}} \stoptext I looked at lang-grk.tex but couldn't find anything obvious, and according to the log file, all languages are loaded, mkiv lua stats : loaded patterns - agr:gr:31 en::2 fr::15 so I'm a bit puzzled.

Palatino math in MKII/XeTeX?
by Riobard 02 Aug '10

Hi, I'm wondering how I can use Palatino for math in MKII/XeTeX? The following works in MKIV but not in MKII (still get Computer Modern for Math, though main text is in Palatino). Thanks very much! Rio

ConTeXt vs. LaTeX -> XML/MathML -> XHTML/SVG/PNG -> ePub

I am now also contracting to publish textbooks for other authors. I am very interested in eventually reformatting my own existing books, as well as future books, as documents that can be both printed as professional-quality bound textbooks as well as distributed as e-books -- for example ePub format and/or XHTML. The principle technical hurdle seems to be posed by the heavy use of mathematical equations. I want the math in the electronic versions to be very clean and scalable (e.g., SVG; eventually MathML as e-readers do a better job of supporting it). While there are programs like TeX4HT and LaTeXML that convert LaTeX source to XML/MathML, they seem to have trouble with unfamiliar packages and macros, and the math rendering seems quite imperfect as well (though I can't yet tell whether that's a problem with the conversion to MathML or rather with current e-readers imperfect support for MathML). My question is whether anyone has insight into the relative strengths of LaTeX vs. ConTeXt as an authoring environment in the specific case that the author wants high-quality multi-format outputs for print and electronic distribution. An example workflow I could imagine would be ConTeXT or LaTeX source -> XML/MathML (DocBook?) -> PDF or XHTML with math encoded as MathML and/or SVG and/or PNG -> ePub with high-quality math readable on various commercial readers I'm quite new to this subject matter, having only begun to learn about e-publishing formats a couple of weeks ago, so I'll welcome any advice, however basic. It's my impression, by the way, that ConTeXT does not directly support AMSMath, which might mean having to not only rewrite a lot of existing source but also to re-learn how to write math. Thanks, Grant

Page number conversion not working in MKIV?

Hi, The following code is expected to produce roman numerals "i" in the footer. I always get the number "1" instead. Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong? Thanks very much! \starttext \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals,location=footer] some text \stoptext Rio

Errors with MacTeX/TeXLive installation
by Grant W. Petty 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

I am trying out ConTeXt for the very first time, hoping to assess whether it's worth re-tooling from LaTeX for authoring scientific textbooks. I am using a fresh installation of TeX Live 2009 (installed via MacTex on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.6), and I'm trying to process a sample file I downloaded from one of the ConTeXt web pages. Unfortunately, the process generates a couple of cryptic warnings ("Lua binary way out of date") and a fatal error ("can't find ...dcc/formats/cont-en.luc"). I wonder if someone can examine the input file and the log file (both attached) to help me understand what I have to do to clean things up and, if possible, why the TeX Live ConTeXt configuration doesn't work correctly "right out of the box" to begin with. Thanks, Grant

Hi, I uploaded a current release that matches luatex 0.61 beta (released a few days ago). The release notes will follow. Apart from a couple of fixes in mkiv the main additions are tagged pdf and the possibility to include pages from pdf documents with hyperlinks which is controlled by the 'interaction' key (given that interaction is enabled). \externalfigure[file.pdf][page=1,scale=700,frame=on,interaction=yes] This is experimental code and it will be extended in the future. Also more control will provided. Future releases will also deal with layers in embedded images (all within reasonable bounds). The current code still supports older mplib although so this current might work with alpha 0.61 versions. We expect a next beta if luatex in a couple of weeks so there will for sure be beta releases of context in the meantime.
