Dear all, \completeindex creates the bookmark "index" . I'd like to have the capitalized version Index. Is there a way to change that? Thanks, Matthias

mkiv typescript and map files
by John Culleton 20 May '10

20 May '10

Recently started working with context minimal and mkiv. I don't know how much of the traditional structure still is in play. Where do I find the typescript files and the map files applicable to mkiv? I mounted the context minimal distro on /opt on my Slackware Linux system. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Help wanted for layers and pagebackgrounds
by Otared Kavian 20 May '10

20 May '10

Dear all, I need to have a special layout, in which a number (which is not a page number nor a section number or such) is printed in big size on the right when the pagenumber is even (that is on a leftpage) and printed on the left when the pagenumber is odd (that is a rightpage). With the help of examples gleaned here and there in the manuals, I came up with the following minimal example: %%%% begin \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer,alternative=doublesided] \definelayer[NumberRight][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \definelayer[NumberLeft][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] %\showframe \define[1]\myNumber{% \setlayer[NumberRight][preset=righttop,voffset=45mm,hoffset=3mm,reset] % without reset the problem is the same {\offset[location=rt,rightoffset=-3mm] {\tlap{\startcolor[darkgreen] \switchtobodyfont[ss] \scale[height=30mm,width=22mm]{#1} \stopcolor} } } \setlayer[NumberLeft][preset=lefttop,voffset=45mm,hoffset=25mm,reset] % without reset the problem is the same {\offset[location=tl,leftoffset=-3mm] {\tlap{\startcolor[darkgreen] \switchtobodyfont[ss] \scale[height=30mm,width=22mm]{#1} \stopcolor} } } } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Maybe the problem is here? \setupbackgrounds[leftpage] [background=NumberRight] \setupbackgrounds[rightpage][background=NumberLeft] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\myNumber{#1}\input knuth.tex \page} \dorecurse{4}{\myNumber{#1}\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth.tex }\page} \stoptext %%%%% end The problem is that in some cases (for instance on pages 2, 3, 4 of the above example) the big numbers are overprinted. In particular the behavior seems not to be the same on all pages, that is after the two \dorecurse above. I guess my lack of knowledge in using and setting layers is the cause, but can anyone tell me please what am I doing wrong? This problem arises in a document in which I have to use mkiv, but in mkii one ha the same result. Thanks in advance and best regards: OK

Register interaction (page references) [mkIV]
by Thomas Floeren 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, when I place an interactive register in mkIV, and then in the PDF click the pagenumber (in the index), it takes me to the wrong page; it seems to go to the absolute pdf page number(?). Example: \setupinteraction[state=start] \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupuserpagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter \page[dummy] \page[dummy] \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \page[dummy] bla\index{bla} \stopbodymatter \placeregister[index] \stoptext Is there something new I have to configure to make it work? MkII works as expected. Thomas ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.13 12:15 MKIV fmt: 2010.5.18 int: english/english

czech language
by Tomáš Pustelník 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, I add to attachment updated file lang-sla.tex (some heads had wrong translation) and sort-lan files (mkii and lua), which now sort czech index as a norm says. There is just minor problem with MkIV version. Normally in czech accented characters are sorted as non accented, only when all characters are same (eg. "byt" and "být") accented chars. are put after non accented ones. In MkII this is completely fine, but MkIV sorts both ways (sometimes it sorts correct, sometimes not) Just for case I put in the archive file I use to test czech sorting. Problem I describe here, can be seen on words under letter L. And just one last question. I was playing with translation of user interface (for my bachelor thesis) and I wasn't able to add a new one. I tried to put some test translation in mult-def.lua and even modified mtx-interface.lua. I was able to generate messages file (mult-m**.tex) for my experiment, but i can't figure out how to generete mult-**.tex as well. Thank you for answers Tomas Pustelnik

Broken \setupexternalfigures in mkIV ?
by Reimund Trost 20 May '10

20 May '10

The setupexternalfigures seems to be broken. In the example below, the first \placefigure doesnt work, but the second with the entire path does. I'm running the latest minimals via the GUI installer on winxp. Best regards Reimund Trost Example: % mptest.tex: \starttext \setupcolors [state=start] \setupexternalfigures [directory={fig}] \placefigure [top] [fig:three-point-setup] {This is the caption.} {\externalfigure[figures.1]} \placefigure [top] [fig:three-point-setup] {This is the caption.} {\externalfigure[fig/figures.1]} \stoptext % fig/figures.mp: beginfig(1) pickup pencircle scaled 5bp; draw (0,0) withcolor (1,0,0); endfig; end

Multiple citations at one position
by Stefan Müller 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, I am citing several references at one position in my document and I was wondering if there is a way to get something like "[1, 3, 9 - 11]" instead of "[1] [3] [9] [10] [11]" (what I would get by using "\cite[ref1] \cite[ref3] \cite[ref9] ..."). Unfortunately I can't find some deeper information about \cite or \setupcite. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Stefan.

footnote in TABLE
by Vladimir Lomov 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi. Am I right that footnote don't work inside TABLE? Example: <example file="footnote_in_TABLE.ctx"> \starttext Interaction between footnote and TABLE. \bTABLE \bTR \bTD This is first column \eTD \bTD This is second column\footnote{More convenient way to index as $a_{12}$ --- row and column}\eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD This is second row \eTD \bTD This is cell in second row and second column\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext </example> In table there is a mark (i.e. superscripted 1) but there is no text. Thanks in advance, Vladimir. P.S. I use ctx extension for context (mkiv) files. -- MS-DOS must die!

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
