kpathsea510.dll couldn't be found
by Helmut Schwertner 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hello, if I try to update the contextmininals (command line method under windows) or to reinstall contextminimals I get the message "mpost.exe" could not found because kpathsea510.dll are not found. The same happens with "pdftex.exe". The update or the reinstall stopped. I started the update with "first-setup.bat --keep" (initialized the tree with C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\context\tex). On my contextminimals there ist no file named kpathsea510.dll. Only kpathsea500.dll etc. What can I do? Thanks, Helmut -- ******************************************************** Helmut Schwertner Kirchweg 154 28201 Bremen Phone: 0421 528 58 22 Mobil: 01577 195 37 78 eMail: helmut.schwertner(a)gmx.de

spacing between floating figure caption and surrounding text
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hello, Another question about figures. How to get rid of big spacing between floating figure caption and surrounding text? In the following example, I want the spacing between "Figure 1" and the text below to be twice less. \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \par} \placefigure [inner] {} {\externalfigure[cow][width=0.5\textwidth]} \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \par} \stoptext Regards, Vyatcheslav

Producing PDF x/1-a:2001 output.
by John Culleton 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

At least two commercial printers that I use prefer or insist on the format PDF X/1-a:2001 output. The only way I have found to produce such in TeX without a pass through Adobe Acrobat Distiller or the shareware program Pstill is via the package pdfx.sty authored by CV Radhakrishnan and Han The Thanh. This in turn uses some other files such as xmpincl.sty. I wonder if this setup could be incorporated into some flavor of Context? Or even pdftex? I prefer not to live within the strictures of pdflatex. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Hello Taco > Normally, you would do \setupfloat[figure][after=] but that does not > seem to work very well for side floats, sorry. > Thanks for trying to help! :) Actually, I discovered from "It's in details" that \placefigure[inner, low]{ } is ok for my situation. Another questions is: how to setup "low" parameter for all figures globally? Regards, Vyatcheslav

Hello Luigi, > I'm not sure, but what about > width=middle? > Yes! It works! I don't understand it; it's like another magic trick ) \setuppapersize [A5][A5] \setuplayout[topspace=2cm, header=0cm, footer=0.6cm, bottomspace=2cm, height=fit, backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm, width=middle] @Taco: what's wrong with it then?

local footnote (Tables) problem
by Bowen Alan C. 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

After further experimentation, I am still stumped; so I am resending this. The attached file will compile only if I comment out (a) header=2pc in \setuplayout or (b) \setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt] or (c) \placelegend or (d) \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} I am running MK2 using the penultimate beta in the ConTeXt Minimals. There is no improvement when I run the file on the ConteXt wiki (latest beta). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Alan

the meaning of cutspace
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello, I need to set up 1.5cm/2cm page borders. Backspace in layout setup gives me expected result (distance from page to the text). According to the wiki, cutspace should do the same for opposite side of the page, but it doesnt. So, I cannot get the meaning of cutspace. \setuplayout[topspace=2cm, header=0cm, footer=0.6cm, bottomspace=2cm, height=fit, %leftmargin=1.5cm, rightmargin=2cm, backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm, width=fit] \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,middle}, alternative=doublesided, style=\tfx] \showlayout\showsetups\showframe \bye Regards, Vyatcheslav

Hello Wolfgang, >> > I've asked about this issue already, but maybe my cry for help was missed ) >> > Your chance to get an answer will be bigger when you provide a short and working example. > > Sure. This is minimal example. \setupindenting[big,yes] \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes] \starttext \dorecurse{1}{\input knuth \par} \placefigure [inner] {} {\externalfigure[cow][width=0.5\textwidth]} \dorecurse{1}{\input knuth \par} \stoptext >> > P.S.

Actually, i tried \indent to produce indent, but it was treated as wrong keyword. Vyatcheslav
