Does ConTeXt allow users to typeset multipage tabular and if it does, then can someone please tell me what kind of algorithm ConTeXt uses for these?

Hello, I have problem getting index number of referenced article in my text. I got only square brackets without any number. I use recent minimals: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009062513 (Web2C 2009) ConTeXt ver: 2009.06.14 21:01 MKIV fmt: 2009.7.15 int: english/english I tried also new module from t-bib-2009.06.08.zip with the same result. Is it a bug or my fault? Regards Zdenek ------------------------------- Minimal example here: File example.tex : \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[alternative=ams] \starttext You must read this \cite{art1}. \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext File example.bbl : \startpublication[k=art1, t=article] \artauthor[]{}[]{}{Somebody} \arttitle{Theory of everything} \pubyear{2009} \journal{The best Journal} \volume{35} \issue{4} \pages{1-100} \pubname{Any} \stoppublication

Hyphenation list and umlauts
by Thomas Floeren 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Hi, I stumbled upon a problem with my hyphenation list: In MKIV, all the words in the list that contain umlauts are completely ignored. MKII is fine. Example: \de \hyphenation{ma-nö-v-rie-ren} \starttext \hyphenatedword{manövrieren} \stoptext Is there any workaround for this? (\odiaeresis doesn't work either) Or do I have an encoding problem? LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.5-2009061023 (Web2C 2009) ConTeXt ver: 2009.06.14 21:01 MKIV fmt: 2009.6.18 btw, does anybody know a solution for my other small problems in my mail from last week? http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090618.201708.be8aa761.en.html Any help or hint is really appreciated. Thanks in advance Tom

ConTeXt Minimals parsing of .tui broken with ruby 1.9.1 in Windows
by Jose Augusto 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Hello all, I want to report a problem that is either in ConTeXt, or in ruby 1.9.1 (last version of ruby). More probably, the problem has to do with ruby handling non-ASCII characters. I have no means of trying Linux, Solaris, etc... Anyone using ConTeXt with ruby 1.9.1 will face it probably (at least in Windows :-) The problem happens with all files, even with the simple "Hello": \starttext Hello World \stoptext After installing ConTeXt Minimals (the devel version) yesterday, I ran the above example with ruby 1.9.1-p129 in Windows (both Win 2000 and XP show the problem). Meanwhile I compiled and tried several versions of Ruby, and found the following pattern of problems: ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mingw32] PROBLEM ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-mingw32] PROBLEM ruby 1.9.0 (2008-10-04 revision 19669) [i386-mingw32] No problem ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i386-mingw32] No problem ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [i386-mingw32] No problem So, whatever it is, it is broken with ruby 1.9.1. All the versions of ruby were compiled in Windows using the mingw toolchain, with GCC 3.4.5. >>>> Here is the description of what happens <<<< When texutil parses the .tui file, I get the following (see comments after this text output): --------------------------------------------- ........................... Output written on con-hello1.pdf (1 page, 21759 bytes). Transcript written on con-hello1.log. TeXUtil | parsing file con-hello1.tui TeXUtil | debug 1 jasa #<File:0x1271d18> xxx c \thisissectionseparator{-} xxx c \thisisutilityversion{2008.10.14} xxx c \thisisbytesequence{?+Ç} TeXUtil | fatal error in parsing con-hello1.tui TeXUtil | shortcuts : 0 TeXUtil | expansions: 0 TeXUtil | reductions: 0 TeXUtil | divisions : 0 TeXUtil | loaded files: 0 TeXUtil | temporary files: 0 TeXUtil | commands: 2 TeXUtil | programs: 0 TeXUtil | tuo file saved TeXExec | runtime: 2.703125 -------------------------------------------- The lines with "debug 1 jasa" and starting with "xxx" result from the simple "debug code" I inserted in the file texutil.rb to find the problematic line. The error happens when the following ruby code is executed: (the extra debug lines have a mark # jasa ) ---------------------- texutil.rb (snippet, around line 1025) ---------------------- def loaded(filename) begin tuifile = File.suffixed(filename,'tui') if FileTest.file?(tuifile) then report("parsing file #{tuifile}") if f = open(tuifile) then report("debug 1 jasa #{f}") # jasa f.each do |line| print "xxx #{line}" # jasa case line.chomp when /^f (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyFiles', $1.splitdata) when /^c (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1]) when /^e (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyExtras', $1.splitdata) when /^s (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MySynonyms', $1.splitdata) when /^r (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyRegisters',$1.splitdata) when /^p (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyPlugins', $1.splitdata) when /^x (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyKeys', $1.splitdata) when /^r (.*)$/o then # nothing, not handled here else # report("unknown entry #{line[0,1]} in line #{line.chomp}") end end f.close end else report("unable to locate #{tuifile}") end rescue report("fatal error in parsing #{tuifile}") @filename = 'texutil' else @filename = filename end end --------------------------------------------------------------- >From the debugging lines that are expelled, it is clear that the line in the .tui file that triggers the problem is: c \thisisbytesequence{ ...non-ASCII codes... } and, precisely, it s the second line of the 'case': when /^c (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1]) which processes the .tui line and triggers the 'rescue' clause. So I think the problem lies in the "digestion" of non-ASCII characters by the last version of Ruby. I don't know what is the meaning of the \thisisbytesequence line in ConTeXt and the maening of those non-ASCII chars. I followed the @plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1]) and figured out that what raises the exception happens before the @plugins.reader method, since it is never reached when the "\thisisbytesequence" line is processed. To finish, I think this can be of interest for Ruby guys, but is also breaking ConTeXt for anyone with ruby 1.9.1 installed in Windows.

XML one more time.
by John Culleton 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I have the xml sources for the Gimp manual. I can't seem to get them to translate to a pdf. The top xml file just contains a series of calls to subordinate files. When I run this through Context I get just the text of the first file in no particular format and none of the subfiles. I have tried texexec --environment=gimp gimp.xml and texexec --environment=xml gimp.xml The Gimp advice is to use dblatex, but that seems to think it is on a Windows system and generates errors containing code like c:\foo Now I can hand convert each and every xml statement in each and every subfile to a TeX equivalent but there should be a shorter way. There are more than 600 subfiles. Or I can write a program to do that to either the xml source or the html derivative. But I hope Context will enable me to do it with less labor. BTW the html generation works flawlessly following the approved Gimp script. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

TeXLive newbie can't run Context
by Tom 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I'm the newest of newbies and have installed of TexLive on a PC running Vista. The post-installation tests described in Section 3.5 of the TeXLive Guide run just fine (Tex, LaTex, pdfLaTex). No tests were included for Context, so I failed around trying to run Texexec amd Texmfstart to no good end. How can I determine if Context was installed properly and how do I run Context?
