POV-Ray
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hi, I have needs of graphics which is very heavy and I am using metapost, metaobj and metauml. However, as you may know the problems which I have reported I think that it would be better if I use POV-Ray for images. Sure the file size is going to be blown up by a margin but I think metapost can not beat POV-Ray in terms of power. Please advice. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Hello, is there any way to change default setting of style of section numbering of miscellaneous parts of documents? In \startbodymatter - \stopbodymatter environment is default style of numbering : 1. Section 1 2. Section 2 but in \startappendices \stopappendices environment is style of numbering: A. Section 9 B. Section 10 in \startbackmatter - \stopbackmatter is without numbering: Section 14 Section 15 Is there due \setupsectionblock [backpart] [before={\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals]}] \setupsectionblock [appendix] [before={\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] %Characters \setupheadertexts[][] \setupfootertexts[][] }] possibility change of section numbering to (for. example) only numbers in all parts of documents thanx Jaroslav

by Jaroslav Hajtmar 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hello all, When I do: \writetolist[chapter]{}{Appendicess} then content is 1. Section one 2. Section two . Appendices stopper is visible - unacceptable for me when I do: \writebetweenlist[chapter]{Appendicess} then content is 1. Section one 2. Section two Appendices without indentation - - unacceptable for me Is there way to insert apropriate blank before word Appendicess to receive result: 1. Section one 2. Section two Appendices My justification: I am trying bypass this way section numbering of miscellaneous parts of document, because I dont discover way to setting numbering of sections in appendix part. When I turn on section numbering (\setupsectionblock[appendix][number=yes, ...) then result is: 1. Section one 2. Section two ... A. Appendices When I turn off section numbering (\setupsectionblock[appendix][number=no, ...) then result is: 1. Section one 2. Section two . Appendices it is unacceptable for me. Last acceptable form is: 1. Section one 2. Section two Appendices TIA Jaroslav

Placing a symbol at begin of a line when indenting is on
by Vladimir Lomov 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hi. Consider the following example <example file="square_q.ctx"> \usesymbols[nav] \setupindenting[yes, medium, next] \starttext \input tufte \symbol[navigation 2][CloseDocument] \input tufte \input tufte \stoptext </example> In this example the symbol 'CloseDocument' (square) is placed at begin of a line but it is indented. Is it possible to place the symbol such that its left edge would be aligned by left edge of the text and the indenting of following text is not touched? Thanks in advance, Vladimir -- Sears has everything.

I mean it is taking too long. My pool_size is 100MB. I have increased it. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

czech sorting
by Tomáš Pustelník 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, again czech sorting in MkIV is little wrong, I found it out coincidentally, when I was testing it. Order of character with accent is strange. Look at the file in attachment. Is there some way how to set order in which groups are supposed to be sorted, like in MkII? Also I really wonder why letter R is not included in sorting. Tomas P.
