Windows executables not DOS in beta
by Christopher G D Tipper 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi, I just updated to the latest beta on Vista and I get the following executing texexec.exe: This program cannot be run in DOS mode. Isn't this just a compiler switch? Would be helpful as I am calling texexec from a Tcl script. Christopher

path juggling in mtxrun or my bad carma again?
by Mojca Miklavec 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hello, I have one version of gnuplot in ~/bin/gnuplot (the one with support for context terminal) and one in /opt/local/bin/gnuplot. My PATH is set to ~/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin inside .bash_profile The problem is that now mtxrun calls the second gnuplot in /opt/local/bin/gnuplot and complains about missing context terminal. If I run gnuplot from the same shell it works fine and calls the right gnuplot. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Thanks, Mojca

Problem with hanging punctuation - a bug?
by Tomas Bures 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Dear all, I've noticed some strange behavior of hanging punctuation (protrusion). The hyphens in hyphenated words are sometimes protruded and sometimes not. I wasn't able to find out the rule, but I managed to reduce the problem to having just one paragraph that repeats several times in the document. You may notice that the last two paragraphs do not have the hyphens protruded. In my original document, I'm using Minion Pro, however, I was able to reproduce this strange behavior with Pagella as well. I'm attaching PDF showing this behavior. The contex source file is below. Please, does anyone know how to fix this strange behavior? I would like to keep the protrusion as it makes the whole document better aligned. Thank you very much.

By the way, why we have two copies of core execuatbles -- one at texmf-mswin\bin and other at texmf-context\scripts\context\stubs\mswin ? The former are called first, so updating the latter had no effect at all. Regards, Vyatcheslav

How to not gobble space after a command
by Matthijs Kooijman 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi all, I'm working with a few custom macros to simplify typing a bit, like: \def\VHDL{\small{VHDL}} However, when I use this macro in text, like \VHDL this, it gobbles the space after it. I've seen some references that say to solve this by writing \VHDL{} instead, but that is of course very unpretty. I've tried to put all kinds of stuff ({}, \mbox{}, \obeyedspace, etc.) inside the \VHDL macro, but it seems the space is already gone there, so that didn't work. (Note that just putting a space inside the macro won't work, for cases where I use \VHDL, like this) It seems that latex has an xspace package that does some guesswork about whether a space is required, but it looks mightily scary. Does ConTeXt provide for any way to solve this problem in a nice way? Or is this just so fundamental in TeX that there is no real solution? Gr. Matthijs

Strange behaviour of indentation
by Tomas Bures 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Dear all, I have some strange problem with indentation. I'm trying to typeset text with some verses. I use indentation in the text, however I would like to suppress it below the verse. So, inside the macro for verses, I use: indenting[next] This works fine, however for some strange reason, the indentation of the text paragraph isn't suppressed at some cases. The macro I use for the verses is a bit more compliated, but I managed to reduce the problem to the simple example below. The first 7 pairs of quote and line are fine, then the text line is indented although it shouldn't be. (Please see the attached PDF.) Please, does anyone know what to do with this problem? Thank you very much. Best regards, Tomas \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupindenting[small,yes] \def\startMyQuote{ \startlines} \def\stopMyQuote{ \stoplines \indenting[next] } \starttext \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \startMyQuote Quote line \stopMyQuote Text line \stoptext

But User Environment variable TEXMF is set to: {%HOME%\Library\texmf,c:\context\texmf,c:\context\texmf-local,c:\context\texmf-context,c:\context\texmf-mswin} Then we have C:\context\texmf\web2c\texmf.cnf with the following line: TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} Then we have C:\context\texmf-context\web2c\context.cnf with the following line: TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} Then we have C:\context\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf with the following line: TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} Note I am also trying to use TEXMFHOME, but this problem also exists and fixing one may fix both.
