On my system (both MacTeX 2008 and ConTeXt minimals) this does not work properly. The Roman numbers appear in the TOC but not on the textpages themselves. Furthermore, after the frontmatter the page numbers should start again with 1 (at least that is what I think) but they just continue (i.c. with 3). The previous TeX-file, in ntg-context Digest, Vol 63, Issue 6, message 6, showed almost the reverse, i.e. Roman numbers on the pages but not in the TOC but the body matter starting correctly on page 1. So if the present setup works correctly for Derek, why would it be it different on my system and what can I do about it? Sorry for intruding but this topic is important for me.

Slovenian alphabetic itemize broken in MKIV
by Mojca Miklavec 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hello, I guess again that the following example only breaks on my computer (this time it's probably true by definition). Any ideas about circumventing the problem are most welcome (PS: "Translate your text to English" is not considered a valid answer :). \mainlanguage[sl] \starttext \startitemize[a] \item something \item something \item something \item something \stopitemize \stoptext ! LuaTeX error ...min3/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-con.lua:173: attempt to index global 'code' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...min3/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-con.lua:173: in function 'chr' ...min3/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-con.lua:155: in function 'do_alphabetic' ...min3/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-con.lua:178: in function 'alphabetic' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \sloveniancharacters ...phabetic(\number #1,"sl")} l.1 \convertnumber{a}{1} \doconvertedstructurecounter ...!criterium ", } )} \endgroup <to be read again> \fi \doactualitemnumber ...rrentitemgroupcounter ]\fi \dohandleitemreference \en... \actualitemnumber ...fi \else \doactualitemnumber \fi ... l.4 \item s omething ? Thanks, Mojca (who is going to try the latest version now, but I doubt that it makes any difference)

Helvetica Neue and Snow Leopard
by Brian R. Landy 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hi, I've run into a problem using Helvetica Neue on a Mac under Snow Leopard. The font is provided by Apple and was a dfont package on 10.5, now it is a ttc. I am getting garbled and funny text using it. An example is -- \usetypescriptfile[type-mac] \usetypescript[helvetica-neue] \setupbodyfont[helvetica-neue,sans,10pt] \starttext {\bf Hello World, 1234567890\par} {Hello World, 1234567890\par} \stoptext I am attaching pdfs that show the correct (from Leopard) and incorrect output. Both systems are running ConTeXt 2009.08.19 (actually I just updated to 2009.08.30 with no help, this is using minimals) and LuaTeX beta-0.43.0-2009081811. The bold font gets the letters correct but it looks terrible; normal sans text is completely garbled. I have reloaded my font database but it didn't help. Thanks, Brian

Problems with inner products
by Guilherme P. de Freitas 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hi everybody, I am trying to define a command for inner products. I would like to type $\innerprod{x, y}$ and obtain in the output <x, y>. Now, I defined \define[2]\innerprod {\langle #1, #2 \rangle} but then, when I used the command, I got some weird behavior: the next character after "y" would "jump in" the inner product. For example, when writing $\innerprod{x, y} + z$ I was hoping to obtain as an output <x, y> + z But I got as an output <x, y +> z I am using the ConTeXt that came with MacTeX 2008 (I downloaded it a few days ago). Best, Guilherme -- Guilherme P. de Freitas http://www.gpfreitas.com

Re: [NTG-context] long quotation without quotation marks

It was: before=\noindenting that did what I wanted. Surprisingly for me, in the example you gave, before=\noindentation resulted in no indentation for the first paragraph but the two others were indented. With before=\noindenting all three paragrapghs were unindented. I really couldn’t have guessed this. With some slight changes your example did almost exactly what I had in mind. (Almost, since in a text like this I would prefer some space between the paragraphs and I understand that it cannot be adjusted locally.) Just for the sake of completeness I add it here: \definedelimitedtext[LongQuote] [style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}, spacebefore=medium, before=\noindenting ] \setupindenting[big,yes] \starttext \input ward \startnarrower \startLongQuote \input knuth \par \stopLongQuote \stopnarrower \input ward \stoptext I have two related questions for the list: a. Would it be useful to add this information to the ConTeXt wiki page on Quotes? b. Is there a complete and up to date list of commands for ConTeXt, and what they are supposed to do, to be found somewhere? (I find things like the existence of \noindent, \noindenting and \noindentation, all apparently giving slightly different results, nice for the variety it offers but, for a beginner, quite confusing as well.) Kind regards, Robert Blackstone
