unwanted space in front of table

Hi, I found a space between character and table. Is it intended behavior or bug?

> The question is: what have you set OSFONTDIR to, and does that > location actually contain the system fonts? Thank you, Taco. Double checking, I find that I have set OSFONTDIR to C:\Windows\Fonts, which does indeed contain my 1074 system font files, 970 of them open type. The slightly different string you put on the webpage: mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* now seems to find them. That was the problem. My next problem is to make sense of what lies under the heading "The standard way: Typescripts". It's clear that the instructions don't mean "typescript" in the ordinary English sense of the word (a typewritten document), but some new, undefined thing. From other bits of documentation here and there, I've gotten the idea that typescripts are files that contain commands. I know that there are examples of typescripts given elsewhere, but without explanation, I couldn't decipher them. I don't suppose there is a syntax of the typescript language written down anywhere. The first instruction stymies me: "1. Copy the typescript files into either $TEXMF/tex/texmf-fonts/tex/context/user $TEXMF/tex/texmf-project/tex/context/user" What typescript files? Where? Also, the two directories don't exist in my distribution of Context Minimals. Are we supposed to create them? I look ahead for clues as to where the typescripts for my fonts might be. A little farther down there is a heading, 'Where to find existing typescripts', but it doesn't talk about where to find typescripts. It does hint at what typescripts are though---it says, 'Each of the typescripts below...' and then, below, there is a list of lines like the following: Latin Modern (typescript name: modern; this is the default font set) Maybe a line like that is a typescript. Who knows?

Mac installation-file not found error
by Curiouslearn 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Hi, I tried updating my context minimal installation today (on Mac OSX 10.5.8) using the command sh ./first-setup.sh --extras=all Somewhere during the installation process the terminal gave me an error saying something like file \loadmarkfile{node-mig} not found. Enter another file name. I did not know what to enter so I pressed (Ctrl-C) and then installation process continued. I compiled a simple file and it compiled without any problems. Should I be worried about that file? Thanks.

default for \xmlatt
by Hans van der Meer 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

I would like to have a default value available to be returned in case \xmlatt{#1}{attr} is absent. Something like \xmlattdefault{#1}{attr} {default}. Or is this already possible? I cannot find such a thing in the current reference manual for mkiv xml-processing. Hans van der Meer

Let me point out that the source of TeX by Topic is available under the Gnu Public Documentation License, so anyone should feel free to add modern TeX additions to it. Personally I feel that the eTeX & pdTeX additions are mature enough that they could be added, of course with suitable markers to indicate their non-standardness. I don't have the time for this, but I'd welcome a collaboration with anyone that wants to invest the time. Victor.

using xml setup in another one
by Hans van der Meer 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

I would like to make xml-setups for general usage. For example making possible: <dvd> ...... <quote>Q</quote> ..... </dvd> With special setup for dvd: \startxmlsetups xml:case:casesetups % environment definition % ????? \xmlsetsetup{dvd}{*}{-} % ignore all inside <dvd></dvd> not below \xmlsetsetup{dvd}{% % these are not to be ignored dvd|state|datadirectory|....}{xml:case:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:case:casesetups} % register this setup and another one useable for general inclusion: \startxmlsetups xml:common:commonsetups % environment definition \xmlsetsetup{common}{quote|...}{xml:common:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:common:commonsetups} % register this setup As setup above it doesn't seem to work. What is the best route to accomplish the idea? Best would be restricting the nodes in the <dvd>'s to those defined under <dvd> + those in common, exclusively. Hans van der Meer
