Struggling with \hskip
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 18 Aug '09

Hello, The following code worked once, but now \hskip does not make any effect. Could you please tell me how to position "bpm=" not strictly on the right, but with some margin? \define[2]\author{{\itx (#1)}\hfill{\tx bpm=#2}{\hskip1cm} \author{Bla-bla} Regards, Vyatcheslav

rawmathcollection eats input
by Hans van der Meer 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

In trying to get the math of LucidaBright working, I took as basis the file with mathdefinitions that worked under MKII; that one was derived from an original file in the ConTeXt distribution. Typesetting "\starttext Hello world \stoptext" makes the first word "Hello" disappear. This behaviour can be traced to the start-stop pair: \startrawmathcollection[lucibr] %\definemathcommand ... \stoprawmathcollection Their inclusion (even without any definitions inside) effects the disappearance of the first word; their use came from the original file, it is no invention of mine. \startmathcollection..\stopmathcollection do not pose this problem. Question: why does this happen? I must admit I am unaware of the special role of the raw variant \startrawmathcollection instead of just \startmathcollection. Is this the way to go?

find file in beta
by Hans van der Meer 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Using: the minimals beta distribution. I have added a new map-file for the inclusion of pfb font files in the texmf-local tree: --/fonts/map/pdf/, where the other maps reside. But luatex seems not to find it: luatools --find-file reports nothing. The file however is fine, because if I add it to the directory where the file being TeX-ed is, then it is found indeed. I did things like luatools --generate, mktexlsr, but this did not help. Obviously I am missing the point. Where? Hans van der Meer

Hyperlinks with MkIV
by Khaled Hosny 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Any idea how to get hyperlinks to work in MkIV? The following example works fine for MkII, but no color nor hyperlink in MkIV. \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] \useURL [garden][http://contextgarden.net][][Context garden] \starttext The \from[garden] is useful. \stoptext -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

math typesetting problem in MKIV
by Brian R. Landy 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, I have a small equation I am attempting to typeset. Using MKII it comes out fine, but under MKIV the text "non-perf. bal." is not typeset correctly (non-perf is instead nonperf with the dash under the 'p', and extra space appears after 'bal.') \starttext \math{\text{adjusted smm}={{(\text{vTr}+\alpha\times\text{sTr})\times(\text{perf. scheduled bal.})+\text{iTr}\times(\text{non||perf. bal.})}\over\text{balance}}} \stoptext I just updated minimals to ConTeXt 2009.08.17 10:43 and LuaTeX beta-0.42.0-2009071723 and still see the issue. Thanks, Brian

Luatex cache problems with current beta
by Lutz Haseloff 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi Hans , Hi all, with the latest beta only luatools --generate generates cachefiles for the trees. context --generate gives: C:\contextminimal>context --generate context --generate MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Since some days ago I have two luatex-cache folders, one under c:\Temp and one under c:\contextminimal\texmf-cache. That's why I deleted both at the last ConTeXt update today. setuptex.bat sets TEXMFCACHE to c:\contextminimal\texmf-cache. It seems, that luatools writes the cachfiles to the right directory, but context tries to read from c:\Temp\luatex-cache, which not exists. Greetings Lutz

some (older) problems
by Thomas Floeren 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, on 2009-06-18 there was a mail on the list with a collection of mkIV problems, a big part related to references and captions. (original text below) I just did a quick re-check with the actual minimals and lua, with the following result: Problems 2), 3) and b) are gone, problems 1), 4), 5), a) and c) are still there. I'm not sure if the remaining problems are due to bugs or rather a result of my poor comprehension of certain changes/new things in the mkIV code (especially c). Any help would be appreciated.

I've noticed also 3 problems since I switched to MKIV: a) Floatcaptions are no longer placed: \externalfigure[dummy] \placefloatcaption[figure]{blabla} b) \start...\stopregister results in an error: hmmpf\startregister[index][identifier]{Hmmpf}\page[yes] \dorecurse{2}{hmmpf\page[yes]} hmmpf\stopregister[index][identifier]\page[yes] \placeregister[index][compress=no] c) I'm not able to build caption numbers with the chapter number as prefix: I want for example "Fig. 2.6" where "2" is the chapter number and "6" the figure number by chapter. I tried all the options I found for setupcaptions (at least I think so), but I dont get the chapter number in the caption.

Can I use pdftex and texexec with latest download.
by John Culleton 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Been away from Context for a while so please bear with me. I just downloaded context-minimal to my home directory using the sh ./first-setup.sh script. I want to use pdftex primarily and now and then regular Context with texexec. I note that the download has references to luatex however, which I don't need/don't want to fool with. Is this download OK for my purposes or must I use another download method? -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
