Inter-document Cross References
by Adam Lewis 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

I am trying to create cross references that span two documents, but am having trouble figuring out exactly how to generate PDFs where the cross references from one document to the other work. I'm following the project/product/component structure and my two documents are each a product in the same project. I normally run texexec from within the product directory, when I try running it from the project directory there is no output. Is it possible to have documents reference each other in this way? Why piece am I missing? I've looked through the documentation, wiki, google, this list, etc and I'm either searching for the wrong thing or there is nothing written about it. Thanks, Adam

PDF Keywords in current beta
by Andreas Schneider 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hello, in the current beta the usage of the Keyword argument in the \setupinteraction command causes lua to fail in line 136 of lpdf-mis.lua: <code snippet> local keywords = specification.keywords or "" if keywords ~= "" then keywords = string.gsub("[%s,]+", " ") lpdf.addtoinfo("Keywords",pdfunicode(keywords)) end </code snippet> <error> ! LuaTeX error ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-mis.lua:136: bad argument #3 to 'gsub' (string/function/table expected) </error> I don't know what is expected there since I don't know the PDF specs, but I guess it's easily fixable ;-) Best Regards, Andreas.

First page of chapter layout
by Tom 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

The assistance for my last question came quickly and was so helpful that I will go back to the well. How does one go about changing the layout for the first pages of a chapter? By default, I get the chapter number and title in large print at the top of the page but want to make it something more interesting. My experiments with \setuphead haven't been fruitful.

alpha release
by Hans Hagen 19 Jul '09

19 Jul '09

Hi I've put an alpha release on the website - no beta as mkiv needs the trunk version of luatex - a close to complete split in mkii/mkiv - cleaned up mkiv code - cleaned up mkiv backend (some pending issues) - some speedups in mkiv - a few fixes in mkii - updated mkiv typescripts (more to come) - fixes in mkiv structure this version is not replicated on the context garden as we run older luatex binaries there (0.45 release by the end of this month) you can unzip this file on your locla tree but best first rename the tex/context/base directory and make a fresh one as otherwise you end up with a weird mixture (due to the definitive split in .mkii/.mkiv there are not that many shared .tex files any more) on the upcoming tex live there will be an updated mkii (either this one or the current beta which is basically a current for mkii) and an old mkiv (maybe the beta) or a new one but that one will not run then with the luatex on texlive as it is too old; this is no big deal as you can either use the minimals or use the new updater in the upcoming tex live to fetch newer binaries (norbert and mojca showed that trickery at bachotek 2009) next on the mkiv agenda is an upgrade/rework of everything related to page building but it might as well be postponed till we have a bit more access (which will happen sometime after eurotex); the first priority is to get the new structure related code right but as idris is already publising books made by mkiv it's not that bad as it sounds.

by Tom 19 Jul '09

19 Jul '09

I am attempting for the first time to import a figure into a ConTeXt document and am getting "figure 0481c can not be found." I am using TexLive on a Windows Vista system. I thought I was following the manual but apparently am doing something wrong. Here is the relevant code: %file 0481c.tif is located in c:\BookLayouts\Wisconsin\photos \setupexternalfigures[directory={c:/BookLayouts/Wisconsin/photos}] \useexternalfigure[ladies][0481c][width=3.127in] %after \starttext \placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[ladies]} Tom Benjey Tuxedo Press 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey
