module sync'ing
by Peter Münster 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hello, How should module contributions (t-vim, t-french, t-letter, etc.) find their way to the minimals today? (There are so many possibilities, I'm a bit lost: modules.contextgarden.net, svn, git, ctan, rsync, email to Mojca, email to Hans, and so on... ;) Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

lost curved left quotes
by Ciro Soto 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I am resending this just in case it got lost when the server was down. Hi all, Somehow my left quotes are straight, not curved as my right quotes. How could I make them curved? (I am using `` for the left quotes, and '' for the right quotes.) (If I use \quotation {qwerty} I get the curved quotes in both sides) thank you in advanced Ciro -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com<http://www.theguitarmakerexploration.com/> http://www.myspace.com/sotoaguirre

by Ciro Soto 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I am having a minor but persistent problem. The text area don't get full of text. It jumps to the next page leaving several (4 ,5, 6) lines empty at the bottom of the text area. It happens in the middle of a paragraph. Any switch I should be setting up? ciro -- -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com https://www.createspace.com/3392936

framed box in between
by Ciro Soto 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I am resending this note in case it got lost when the server was down. ciro Hi all, I would like to have a quote inserted in a framed box that is part in the margin and part in the text, and surrounded by the text. I found the command to have it in the margin or in the text area, but couldn't figure out how to locate the frame partially in the text area, and partially in the margin. How could I do that? thank you, Ciro -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com<http://www.theguitarmakerexploration.com/> http://www.myspace.com/sotoaguirre -- -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com https://www.createspace.com/3392936

minimals not working
by Hans van der Meer 04 Aug '09

I downloaded and installed the minimals. Running LuaTeX MKIV then hangs in TeXShop and must be aborted. Does someone knows what is amiss here? I use the following runscript in TeXShop: #!/bin/bash export MINIMAL="$HOME/TeX/context/beta" $MINIMAL/tex/setuptex export PATH=$MINIMAL/tex/texmf-osx-ppc/bin:$PATH export TEXMFCACHE="$MINIMAL/tex/texmf-cache" context "$1" Minimals: Setting "/Users/hans/TeX/context/beta/tex" as TEXROOT.

New to TeX, ConTeXt - How to conditionally include document sections?
by Stephen Gadsby 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Good day, Please pardon my newness to TeX, ConTeXt, and this list. If I violate list etiquette, I apologize and hope you will let me know. Thank you. I'm attempting to abandon the use of Word for a maintaining a growing set of 30 to 60 page documents that provide information on similar, but not identical, equipment at a range of locations. My idea was to create one ConTeXt project that, depending upon the definition of one string in the project file, appropriately adjusts the resulting document's title and pulls in component "foo" for location "A", "bar" for location "B", etc. My problem is, after playing with if, ifx, and ifcase for some time and digging through all the ConTeXt and TeX documentation I can find, I'm still not understanding how to accomplish the TeX/ConTeXt equivalent of: if <string in variable> equals <string> then do thing 1 ... do thing n else if... I've repeatedly come across information on ifthenelse in LaTeX, and in some quick tests, it does appear to do exactly what I want. However, while I've admittedly only played with LaTeX for a few hours, it seems to make specifying exact formatting somewhat difficult. As I'll be turning these documents into PDFs myself, rather than sending them off to a publisher, that's a concern for me. If someone would please point me to documentation or an example of how to accomplish string comparison based if-thens in ConTeXt, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you. -Stephen J.

How to frame a float together with the caption?
by Marcin Borkowski 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

As in the subject. When I do \setupcaption[intermezzo][ location=top, number=no, style=italic, ] \setupfloat[intermezzo][ frame=on, ] only the content gets framed; I'd like to have a frame (or background, for that matter) around all the float _and_ the caption. Any ideas? -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) Well, I admit that I quite like the Emacs operating system. The only problem with it is that it lacks a good ASCII editor.
