placefigure[right] draws figures inside framed text
by Jos van Gisbergen 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello, I'm using framed text to display verbatim sourse code. The frame should use the entire textwidth, so I use width=broad. A problem occurs when I use a figure placed at the right side of the page, before a framed text section: the figure is drawn *inside* the frame. With non-framed text everything works fine. I include an example. It consists of a d.tex file and METAPOST file a.mp. To reproduce the problem, first convert a.mp to a-1.pdf using the mptopdf utility. Then texexec --pdf d.tex ------------ d.tex ------------- \starttext Whran crmpqcayng lqyruas crnaqynyng cralls ahqa yncludra fyxrad shqpras, rvrarcrnsarqynas mqy yssura qs q crnsraqurancra rf hyrarqrchy-rvrarlqp rulras brayng qpplyrad braawraran such fyxrad shqpras.

Re: [NTG-context] How to Determine the Current File Name and Line Number in the ConTeXt Source?

That is, I would read and save their values consecutively in the same Lua function so that they would refer to the ConTeXt source line currently being processed by the ConTeXt engine. Now you say that ConTeXt may not be reading from a file at that level. That I can accept (being a non-expert), but status.linenumber always returns the correct line number for the ConTeXt file being processed (even if the file is being \input from another file). It seems to me that if the line number within the source file is accurate, then the file's name should be accurate, too. Thank you, Tad

pretty C with MKIV
by Peter Münster 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello, Unfortunately, I've no time (and perhaps also not the know-how) to write a pret-c.lua. What would be the easiest way, to do C pretty printing? (I've tried t-vim.tex, but it seems to be broken: ERROR: I can't find file `test-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp'.) TIA for any help! Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Proper way to point removed text?
by Maurício 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

What is the proper way in english printing to show that some text has been removed from a quote? In (brazilian) Portuguese, we use [...], for instance: Depois de mencionadas outras questões, comentou-se o ocorrido. can quoted as [...] comentou-se o ocorrido. Is there a name for that? Thanks, Maurício

context installation on Windows XP
by Philip Brown 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I am having touble installling CONTEX (and metafun) on Windows XP. I downloaded and installed Texlive. I am able to run Latex and some other programs, but I tried various ways, unsuccesfully, to run context. For example I tried running texmfstart texexec.rb hello.tex and some other combinations, and nothing happened. I went to the PRAGMA-ADE website and downoaded cont-tmf into the texmf-local directory and unzipped it. Then I tried texexec -make -all and a few other combinatins and nothing happened. I have Perl v5.10 installed, and I use editor EMACS with AUCTEX assistance would be much appreciated, Philip Brown

figure captions in the margin
by Richard Weickelt 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello, I want to have captions for figures, listings and other stuff inside the document margin. I saw that someone asked a very similar question 3 years ago: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20061025.211202.c2e04f8c.en.html > > Does somebody know whether it is possible and how it is possible to > > place the caption of a figure in the margin? > > > yes, actually i implemented this last week but i need to update the > details manual; captions can go in margins, hang in centered figures, there > is support for all kind of inner/outer alignments etc Hans said, that he had already implemented that feature, but in fact it still doesn't work. So the code \setupcaptions[location=outermargin] \starttext \placefigure{Caption}{\framed{Figuur}} \stoptext still prints no caption at all. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and ConTeXt from the repositories. Is this version too old? Thank You.

Hans, would you like me to submit this as a luatex bug? Tad

Module installation
by Wolfgang Schuster 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Installation of modules ======================= Basics –––––– The installation of extra files in TeX (called modules in ConTeXt) can be hard for people how are new in TeX or aren't interested in TeX programming themselve. According to the TDS (TeX directory structure) and the ConTeXt developers user written files reside under the path $TEXMF/tex/context/third/<modulename>/<files> in the private TeX directory ($TEXMF), private directories can have the names • texmf-local • texmf-extra • texmf-project but there existence depend on the TeX distribution and texmf-local is the most common one. Installation by hand –––––––––––––––––––– When you want to install a new module which is available as file only create the subdirectories in the way described above and place the file there, for modules which are available as zip files with precreated subdorectories you can unzip the archive in the top-level directory (e.g. texmf-local/) and all files are on the correct place. After the files are placed at the right place you have to update TeX's database to let it know where it can find the files, this is done for MkII with mktexlsr (command name depends on the TeX distribution) and for MkIV with context --generate ConTeXt minimals –––––––––––––––– Users of the ConTeXt minimals dont't have to download the module files and unzip them in the local directory because they can use the 'first-setup' for this. To install for example the simpleslides modules you write first-setup.sh --extras="t-simpleslides" To install more modules at the same time write first-setup.sh --extras="t-simpleslides,t-french" The complete list of availables modules in minimals is: • f-urwgaramond • f-urwgothic • t-account • t-algorithmic • t-bib • t-bnf • t-chromato • t-cmscbf • t-cmttbf • t-construction-plan • t-degrade • t-fixme • t-french • t-games • t-gnuplot • t-layout • t-letter • t-lettrine • t-lilypond • t-mathsets • t-simplefonts • t-simpleslides • t-taspresent • t-tikz • t-typearea • t-typescripts • t-vim TeX Live –––––––– # description required The following modules are available: • context-account • context-bnf • context-chromato • context-construction-plan • context-degrade • context-french • context-games • context-gnuplot • context-letter • context-lettrine • context-lilypond • context-mathsets • context-simpleslides • context-taspresent • context-typearea • context-vim
