new beta
by Hans Hagen 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, I uploaded a new mkiv beta. Apart from a few fixes, the main new thing is that the new vertical spacing model is now used. (I will cleanup everything related to spacing and grid snappin glater). This new mechanism was discussed at the context meeting. I have been testing it for quite a while and it seems to work out ok, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Beamer for ConTeXt?
by Xan 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, Is there any package like beamer for ConTeXt. I know there is "mode" way for doing presentacions in ConTeXt but I'm refering to any way for doing the frames, etc. faster and easier..... Perhaps simple-slides [http://github.com/adityam/simple-slides]? Xan.

oldstyle numbers
by Arno Trautmann 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, I’m new to ConTeXt and try to compile a document using XeTeX. Loading an otf font works fine, but I don’t get it to use oldstyle numbers. google and contextgarden did give me some hints, but I didn’t get it working. I tried: \starttext \definetypeface[normalfont][rm][Xserif][Arno Pro] \stoptext and several versions of things like [features=oldstyle], [onum=true], \definefontfeature[mine] with oldstyle etc. but nothing worked. So what am I doing wrong? Is there a simple way for oldstyle numbers? (I want them in the whole document, so I prefer a simple, global solution.) cheers, Arno

(in mkiv) i redid overprints - it's now no longer a property but just a color feature - the name chanegd to 'intent' - we now have \setupcolors[intent=none|overprint|knockout]; once set to != none it stays that way (global) - \startcolorintent[overprint|knockout] .. \stopcolorintent - the \startoverprint command is still there for backward compatibility in mkii i didn't change the mechanism, just the 'intent' key as this is s specialized feature i don't care too much about compatibility ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

First report on use
by Alain Delmotte 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi! After discovering some details of ConTeXt during EuroTeX2009 I decided to try it. First problem, already encountered during EuroTeX: installation. On both of my machines the installation of the minimals failed. See attached file. For example: lines 13-14 rsync error, but at lines 26-30 it looks like it works, just a moment: after 30-35 I get 36-37 = error again. On lines 77-80 there is another type of error. But I installed ConTeXt from a copy of what Mari had on her portable (this brings other questions, later); so it works for now. But still in the error file, looking at lines 97-98 and 99-100, for example, what is the installation program changing in my mikTeX installation? ------- Now for the working installation. 1) As it was taken from Mari machine, isn't there possible problems with parameters from her machine which are not the same on mine? 2) How can update and/or create new formats? I am using ConTeXt with TeXworks; I did install a full copy of TeXworks (programs and dlls) in C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\texmf-context\context\data\texworks and I issue the setuptex.bat command before to start the ConTeXt TeXworks. (You can see that I installed ConTeXt in a folder without spaces in the name: C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\.) I am only using Mark IV, following the suggestion of Hans (for French,...) So I didn't install Ruby. OK the next questions will be about documentation, in another message. Thanks very much for ConTeXt (and again for EuroTeX2009 - it was very good).
