That worked, thanks. BTW - I had lots of trouble trying to download from github. I only got a html file (worked ok the previous time). I ended up copying the text from the Split file and pasting it over the text in my file here. thanks again Glen

Thanks, Arthur, for explanations.

IncludePicture problem with adityam / simple-slides
by Glen Callaghan 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hello, I'm having some problems with "simple-slides". I'm pretty new to ConTeXt - so I've probably done something silly. When I try to use the \IncludePicture command like this: \IncludePicture [horizontal] [test] {A Dutch Cow} I get the errors like "! Missing number, treated as zero" and "! Missing = inserted for \ifnum" (see below). I'm using MacTex-2008 distribution. I've also tried the current context minimals - but got the same result. thanks Glen ------------- (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/sort-lan.mkii)) [1.1] !

leqalignno and labels
by Pau 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hello, thanks again for all answers regarding labelling. It has mostly worked but I am now having a particular problem with leqalignno. It turns out that the \placeformula[mylabel] works as expected but for \leqalignno This is an example: ---------------------------------- \placeformula[Pflux] \startformula \leqalignno{ f_{q}^{p}(v) &= \frac{32}{5} \nu^{10} v^{10} \left[1 + \log\left(v\right) \left(\sum_{i\geq6}^{k} \ell_{i} v^{i} \right) \right]\cr &\times P_{q}^{p} \left[\left(1 - \frac{v}{v_{\p}} \right) \sum_{i=0}^{k} {\cal{F}}_{i}^{\lf} v^{i} \right],\cr } \stopformula ---------------------------------- Then, when doing Eq.~\in[Pflux] in the text, it will produce an ?? in the resulting pdf. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Pau

Some math symbols fail in MetaPost in MKIV
by Andreas Schneider 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hi, as it seems, some symbols in math mode seem to fail when put inside MetaPost. In the example I tried, both "~" and "|" were causing processing errors when used inside MetaPost (I tried both btex...etex as well as \sometxt). It works fine in MKII however. The minimal example is attached to this mail. Best Regards, Andreas.

Re: [NTG-context] IncludePicture problem with adityam / simple-slides
by Glen Callaghan 02 Nov '09

Sorry Aditya, my comments on the \noexpand command weren't quite accurate. In the earlier version of simple-slides, leaving out the \noexpand working, and the header and footer information worked properly. In the new version (with the IncludePicture fix), leaving out \noexpand just results in the text "empty" appearing at 3 (of the 4) header/footer positions. Is it something to do with using variables instead of moduleparameters? .......... not that I know what they are :-) cu Glen

Re: [NTG-context] Define exercise captions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hello Aditya, Thanks for help again. However, the result is far from OK. [title=yes, text=Вправа, way=bysection, prefix=yes, width=broad] I use enumeration within subsubsection, namely 1.3.1. If I put prefix=yes, the first exercise is 1.3.1.1. That is, it is numbered within subsubsection, while I want to be only <SectionNumber>.<ExerciseNumber>, like 1.1, 1.2, etc. I suspected that [way=bysection] key does the job but it does nothing in this case. And another major issue is: why the text is put in the frame and is either a few centimenters wide (without width=broad) or goes out of the page (with width=broad)? I need just ordinary paragraph. >> Please, try >> >> \starttext >> \defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, way=bysection, >> width=broad] >> >> \exercise{Розрахунок кривої, яка з'єднує три точки на площині} >> \stoptext >> >> >> The "Вправа" is putted twice, next time inside some strange brackets. >> The text gets out of the page. > > Looks like a bug in mkiv.
