rsync error
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hello, I've been happily using a fairly old version of Context for a while (ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.05 18:47 MKII fmt: 2008.11.14 int: english/english) but decided that I perhaps ought to try to update to something more modern. I tried to get the minimals for Windows by downloading context-setup-mswin.zip, unzipping it to a new directory and running first-setup.bat from a command window. On the output in the command window, I get a number of rsync error messages, the first of which is: rsync: failed to connect to contextgarden.net: Connection timed out (116) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [receiver=3.0.2] followed by lots of other warnings and errors and ultimately failure!

IV. Talking and Tweaking
by Piotr Kopszak 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hello, I finally decided to learn lua and start making use of it in ConTeXt. I was quite excited to find examples of interfaces in the fourth part of "A New Kind of TeX" paper. It would be really useful if someone could give examples how they could actually be used, at least some of them e.g. command.insert, command.hbox, command.vbox, tex.parindent I think it would also be quite useful to propose a limited set of most useful interfaces, something like the Top Ten ConTeXt commands. Is it possible at all? All Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl

sections, subsections, indenting, startnarrower, alignment
by afsmith 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hi again ntg-context. I have been working on my own CV/Resume module. Up until now I've just been asking about specific bits of the implementation of this thing I want to do, but perhaps that was a mistake as it hasn't really helped progress much, so: What I am trying to achieve is to define some three-argument command to give a section/subject header and a date, and then a block of text. The header and date should be on the same line, but aligned in either direction (subject aligned left, date aligned right) This block of text underneath it should be indented and able to include an instance of the same command. Let me try to explain the desired output in a little monospaced text diagram.. |(Subject)_______________________(Date)| |__(Subsubject)__________________(Date)| |____texttexttexttexttexttexttexttext__| |____textmoretextmoretextmoretexttext__| |__(Subsubject)__________________(Date)| |____texttexttexttexttexttextexttext___| |____textmoretextmoretextmoretexttext__| The "subject" and "subsubject" parts don't need to literally use "\subject" , for example I also tried to use "\start(description){..." for this purpose as well but that failed equally. Just something that works reasonably as a section header. I promise I have looked in the archives before asking :) for example http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg21111.html http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg37664.html http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg11337.html http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg17276.html And here is an example of something I was playing with... ------------------- \definehead[mysubject][subject] \defineframed[lrframe][ width=\localhsize, align=normal, rulethickness=1pt] \setuphead[mysubject][style={\bf}] \define[3]\CHRONSUBJ {\mysubject{\dontleavehmode\lrframe{#1\hfill#2}} \startnarrower[left]{#3}\stopnarrower} \showframe[text] \starttext \CHRONSUBJ {This happened from June 08 to June 09} {06/08--06/09} {\CHRONSUBJ {This happened from June 08 to December 08} {06/08--12/08} {\input tufte } \CHRONSUBJ {This happened from January 09 to June 09} {01/09--06/09} {\input zapf }} \stoptext ------------------- -A

Available fonts and using them
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hello all, I have read many of the documents from the Wiki on using fonts, but I am still not sure of one or two, probably obvious, things: 1) I'm being asked to use Arial font (not my choice!) and I see from searching the context tree that there are .afm files, .tfm files and .map files with 'arial' in the name. Does this mean I can use Arial out of the box? If so, how? I've tried putting \setupbodyfont[arial,10pt] in my environment file, but it does nothing. I've tried various other things as well, copied but only half understood, from the other documents, but none of them work either! I could follow the guide on installing a new font, but if it's already available then I'd rather not! 2) How do I find out what fonts are available "out of the box" and how do I invoke them? Thanks, Richard. P.S. I'm using mkii -- one day I'll get around to setting up mkiv, but not today! Converteam UK Ltd. Registration Number: 5571739 and Converteam Ltd.

Applying effects to figures
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hello, I just thinkig... Is there a way to apply an effect to inserted images? Say, I need to make a shadow around all of screenshots included, and it is too laborous to apply the shadow to them in an editor just in order to have screenshots changed in next document version. Is think there is a lot of circumstances when some automatic effect can be needed. Best, Vyatcheslav
