simpleslides - no macros found errors
by Himanshu B. Dave 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I am a new user of simpleslides. Linux 2.6.21 kernel, Slackware 12.0, teTeX installed latest version of t-simpleslides via t-simpleslides.zip in /usr/share/texmf tree Executed: mktexlsr confirmed: appearance of t-simpleslides.tex in /usr/share/texmf/ls-R confirmed: path via kpsewhich t-simpleslides.tex copied: speaker_introduction-2min.tex to my HOME directory, and tried to compile it. Got the following errors: system : no macros found in module style=Boxed system : macros of module font=Bookman already loaded ... ... ... ! Undefined control sequence. l.29 \SlideTitle {Speaker's Name} ? Incidentally, context system itself is running OK. Am I missing something? Or, doing something silly? Help requested. Thanks.

You need to add \unprotect and \protect \unprotect \pgfutil@definecolor{...} \protect They are similar to \makeatletter and \makeatother in LaTeX. The correct way is to ConTeXt's color mechanism to define colors. For example, \usemodule[tikz] \definecolor[mycolor][r=1,g=0,b=1] \starttext \starttikzpicture \node[text=mycolor] {Test} ; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext This works with MkII but gives an error with MkIV. ! Undefined control sequence. \pgfutil@registercolor ...ef \pgf@temp {\PDFcolor {#1}}\edef \pgf@marshal {\... \pgfutil@colorlet ...x \pgfutil@registercolor {#2} \fi \edef \pgf@marshal {\n... \tikz@next ...futil@colorlet {.}{\tikz@textcolor } \fi \pgfsetcolor {.}\setbo... l.7 \node[text=mycolor] { Test} That is because MkII and MkIV have a different color model, and tikz does not support the MkIV model yet. I am attaching a fix for that. I do not know what is the best way to incorporate it into tikz (perhaps a pgfutils-mkiv.tex file). For the moment, you can just input it after loading tikz. Aditya

\startitemize[4,inmargin]
by Vedran Miletić 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi, I'm working on three-column document and I would like to put symbols a bit closer to text (but still leave them in margin). Is there an option that does it? I tried with margin=, width= and distance=, but it put them outside the margin and turned symbols into black dots, and that's not quite what I wanted. Regards, -- Vedran Miletić

\setuplabeltext[chapter=Chapter ] (or mkiv document structure/TOC)
by Alan BRASLAU 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

In a large project, a book with parts, chapters, appendices, etc. I have set the table of contents to display the label "Chapter" yielding: Part I Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Part II Chapter 4 ... Through the following (mkiv): % % section headings % \definestructureresetset [default] [0,0] [1] % do not reset parts and chapters \setuphead [part] [sectionresetset=default, placehead=yes, conversion=Romannumerals] \setuphead [chapter,section,subsection] [placehead=yes,sectionsegments=2:100] % % table of contents % \setuplabeltext [chapter=Chapter ] % with trailing space; blank by default \setuplist [chapter] [label=yes,width=5em] \setuplist [part,chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection] [interaction=all,alternative=c] % number – title – dots – pagenumber \starttext \startfrontmatter \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \stopbodymatter \startappendices \stopappendices \startbackmatter \stopbackmatter \stoptext In the above use, the appendices A,B,... get listed as Chapter A Chapter B and the Bibliography, Name Index, Subject Index, List of Figures, List of Tables all get listed as Chapter Bibliography Chapter Name Index ... Adding \setuplabeltext [chapter=Appendix ] % with trailing space; blank by default after \startappendices doesn't work, nor does \setuplabeltext [chapter=] % reset to blank after \startbackmatter. (of course, these labels should be predefined according to the language, and some switch, \setuplist [chapter] [label=no] after \startbackmatter, maybe by default, should take care of it.) Any suggestions? Alan

Questions regarding simplefonts
by Nicolas Girard 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi again, although simplefonts seems very promising and I put the highest hopes on it, the lack of proper documentation simply prevents me to use it, which is somewhat frustrating. Here are some of my unanswered questions about simplefonts ; I'm willing to update the wiki with any informations this thread could bring. 1) How can I specify that the default font features should enable the standard ligatures (liga) ? I blindly tried several possibilities like \setupsimplefonts[features={liga}] but none worked 2) How can I get \sc to work with a font family whose small caps are defined as a font feature, rather than dedicated .otf files ? 3) How can I get font expansion and protrusion to work using simplefonts' dedicated keywords ? There again, I spent more than 30 minutes trying every combination I could think of, unsuccessfully. I think it would be useful to have a complete example of code involving simplefonts and expansion/protrusion that people could copy & paste from the wiki 4) What is the purpose of the 'mode' keyword ? Many thanks in advance, cheers, Nicolas

ConTeXt swallows text
by Oliver Heins 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi, under certain circumstances, ConTeXt swallows text. This happens with both MkII and MkIV and a fairly recent minimals distribution. | ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKII fmt: 2009.11.25 int: english/english | ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKIV fmt: 2009.11.25 int: english/english Sadly, I noticed not until the booklet was already printed. (Actually, it was my customer who noticed.) :-( Best regards, olli % ----------------------------------- \enableregime[utf-8] \setupbodyfont[ss,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.6ex] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[backspace=2cm,width=middle, offset=0mm, topspace=0cm,height=middle, location=middle, ] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuptolerance[tolerant,verytolerant] \definefloat[grafik] \setupcaption[grafik][number=no,location=bottom] \definecolumnset[ergebnisse][n=3] \definecolumnsetarea [title][left] [x=1,y=1,nx=6,ny=42,page=2,state=start] \starttext \startcolumnset[ergebnisse] \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte} \placegrafik[btlr]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=1.95\textwidth]} \subject{Victoria Beckham pregnant again!} Barack Obama is the father!

numbered itemize
by Hans van der Meer 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Risking that, like my previous question, this one too will be posed the Nth time, I nevertheless ask. Typesetting a numbered list I tried a lot of paramaters on the itemize macros, but always the code: \startitemize[][start=8] \item a \item b \item c \item d \stopitemize results in: 8. a 9. b 10. c 11. d whereas I would have had: 8. a 9. b 10. c 11. d That is, the item labels aligned at the stoppers.

location of /user/files?
by paul morgan 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Thank you again Aditya and Khaled for getting ConTeXt working here. One more question for the list: Under MacTex or TexLive, not sure which one, on my 10.4.11 system, my setup and env* files were located in ~/Library/texmf/tex/context/user/ I rsynced that dir to ~/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/user and ConTeXt is not finding them. Could someone please where I should put these files so context will find them? Thanks again, Paul

Font database does not report all fonts
by Nicolas Girard 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hi all, and happy new year ! I've just (properly) installed a fresh ConTeXt Minimals on Linux and built the font database. Although my /usr/local/share/fonts/d directory contains Delicious-BoldItalic.otf Delicious-Bold.otf Delicious-Heavy.otf Delicious-Italic.otf Delicious-Roman.otf Delicious-SmallCaps.otf the command mtxrun --script font --list elicious only reports delicioussmallcaps delicioussmallcaps /usr/local/share/fonts/d/Delicious-SmallCaps.otf The problem also arises with other (possibly all) font names. Any thoughts ?
