grid snapping (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi, is the 'grid={line,??pt}' functionality already implemented in mkiv? I use it in a multicolumn environment and all I get is snapping to the 'full' baseline. \setuphead[section] [%style={\SectionHeaderFont}, style={\switchtobodyfont[12.3pt]\ss\bf\setupinterlinespace}, % grid={high}, % ok grid={line,3pt}, % snaps to 'second' baseline after=, ] The creation of a minimal example depends on the answer... :) Greetings, Peter

texutil --purgeallfiles
by Renaud AUBIN 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi, Trying to use the good old days texutil --purgeallfiles, I obtain: renaud@daneel:~/ConTeXt/notes/src$ texutil --purgeallfiles /usr/local/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/texutil.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- base/file (LoadError) from /usr/local/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/texutil.rb:1 My ruby dist seems to work well in a nominal context. Is texutil fully functional for other debian 64 / minimals users? Renaud

t-vim / minimals
by Renaud AUBIN 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi, I have just reinstalled ConTeXt after an HD crash with ./first_setup --extras=all and t-vim seems to contain an error since I obtain (with MKII): VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Jul 30 2009 16:02:52) arguments en trop apr?s l'option: "-u NONE -e -C -n -c "set tabstop=8" -c "syntax on" -c "set syntax=rnc" -c "let contextstartline=1" -c "let contextstopline=0" -c "source /usr/local/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/vim/2context.vim" -c "wqa" "prd_note_rex_ngc-vimsyntax.tmp" " Plus d'info avec: "vim -h" !

Using --noquotes for the mtxrun call used within the \runvimsyntax definition fixes the matter here. Does anybody could reupload for minimals? Best regards, Renaud

\usemodule doesn't complain when module is not found?
by Matthijs Kooijman 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi all, I've been trying my first steps into the land of ConTeXt modules, without much success. What has been particularly annoying is that the \usemodule command seems to give no error or other indication that a particular module was not found. Consider below example: \usemodule{foobar} \starttext Foo \stoptext I would highly appreciate it if the above would fail with a "Module foobar not found" error (possibly even with locations where the module was looked for, but I'm not sure how that works exactly).

Pstricks and Asymptote
by curiouslearn 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

I apologize if this has been asked before, but would appreciate if anyone could answer this again. (a) Is there an easy way to incorporate asymptote code in a Context document, like there exists in Latex. In latex you can include it between \begin{asy} \end{asy} (b) Is there an easy way to incorporate pstricks code in a Context document. If there is, does that way work both with MKII and MKIV or only with one of them. The reason I am asking is that eventually all the new Context features will be in MKIV. I want to know what graphics packages I can use with it other than Metapost. Thanks.

Metapost Code works with MKII not with MKIV
by Curiouslearn 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi, I am back to trying Metapost. I spent sometime yesterday and today learning about clipping, buildcycles etc. to fill areas with patterns. I think I will try to write a simple tutorial with it. Meanwhile, I just updated my installation of Context minimals. The following simple Metapost code does not compile with MKIV, but compiles okay with MKII. \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{Filling} u := 1cm; w:= 2pt; %Axes path xaxis; path yaxis; xaxis := (0,0)--(12,0) scaled u; yaxis := (0,0)--(0,12) scaled u; path demand; path AC; demand := function (1,"x","10-x",0,10,1) scaled u; AC := function(1,"x","2+8/x",1,10,0.1) scaled u; drawarrow xaxis withpen pencircle scaled w; drawarrow yaxis withpen pencircle scaled w; draw demand withpen pencircle scaled w withcolor 0.5red; draw AC withpen pencircle scaled w withcolor 0.5green; fill fullcircle scaled u shifted (4*u,5*u) withcolor 0.1[white,blue] ; label(btex \tfb S1 etex,(4,5)*u); \stopuseMPgraphic \midaligned{\useMPgraphic{Filling}} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The LOG file is: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.44.0-2009103007 \write18 enabled.

local footnote (Tables) problem
by Bowen Alan C. 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Wolfgang— I adapted the file that you sent me so that the table extends beyond one page. But, as you will see, the table still prints on just one page. Moreover, if I set split=repeat, the header prints twice (?) more.
