Latest XML advice.
by John Culleton 20 Jun '09

20 Jun '09

I have in hand a huge document (587 modules) in xml DocBook format. It constitutes the documentation for Gimp. I also have the Context xml manual but can't seem to figure out how to make it work. The root document (or what I assume is the root document) contains statements like this: <part> <title>Getting Started</title> <chapter id="introduction"> <title>Introduction</title> <xi:include href="introduction.xml"/> <xi:include href="introduction/whats-new.xml"/> </chapter> and so on. When I tried simply texexec gimp.xml I got a one page document that listed the titles in one long string but none of the content of the subdocs referenced. So I added near the top \defineXMLenvironment [gimp] {(} {)} \enableXML and got more or less the same results. Hints? -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

ConTeXt minimals installation problem
by Michal Kvasnička 20 Jun '09

20 Jun '09

Hallo, gentlemen. I've just tried to install the latest stable ConTeXt minimals on my new system (SuSE Linux 11.1). The system downloaded itself (via rsync) all right, but it isn't able to create formats (MarkII; I don't know how to use MarkIV). If I try run texexec --make --all manually, I get this error: ...<TEXROOTDIR>/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun:8707: attempt to concatenate a nil value What am I doing wrong? How can I install it? With many thanks yours Michal Kvasnicka

math and palatino
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Dear gang, [mkiv only] What is the best available math font for use with Pagella/Palatino? [Hint: it's not LM] I had to roll my own typescript so what I need to fill in is the commented line below \definetypeface [pagella_ar] [rm] [serif] [pagella_arabic] % [pagella_arabic] % \definetypeface [pagella_ar] [mm] [math] [palatino] [default] Uncommenting the above gives me an incomplete math font that does not look good. Any ideas on getting this right? Is there an otf euler option?

Lots of problems in mkiv
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

I've recently started using mkiv because of the fonts, but I have found lots of things that don't work. The trouble is, I don't know if it's just me, or whether I need to go back to mkii until things settle down. Can someone, PLEASE, tell me if they get any of the following problems with mkiv (I've included code snippets): Everything below works perfectly in mkii. 1) References to equations appear as '??' in the final document \placeformula[eq:pythag] \startformula a^2 = b^2 + c^2 \stopformula Pythagoras proposed \in{equation}[eq:pythag]. 2) References to footnotes appear as '??' inside \startlocalfootnotes...\stoplocalfootnotes \startlocalfootnotes This has a note.\footnote[fn]{Footnote.} See note \note[fn]. \stoplocalfootnotes 3) References to sections are repeated (e.g. reference to section 1 appears as '11' or ref to section 1.1 appears as '1.11.1') \section[sec:one]{Section one} It was in \in{section}[sec:one]. 4) \digits command falls over at periods or commas with "\textfont1 is undefined (character 58)." \digits{1.6} 5) \infull command does not work for abbreviations: falls over with "Missing } inserted." \abbreviation {KF} {Kalman filter} Rudolph Kalman invented the \infull{KF}.

Problem with "fontdata.cache" being set to "no" in font-def.lua
by Yanrui Li 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hi Hans, I am testing comperssion of Chinese punctuations according boundingbox. But I found that the "fontdata.cache" in font-def.lua is set to "no", so I can't get the boundingbox information of those punctuation glyphs in my module. I want to know why set to "no" as default. Is it for efficiency? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui
