replacement for \nolist ?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 05 May '09

Another command that disappeared from MkIV is \nolist (to exclude parts of a title from a table of contents). What's its replacement? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

How to prevent TeX ligatures in \starttyping..\stoptyping?
by Kevin D. Robbins 04 May '09

04 May '09

>From older posts to the mailing list, it seems that the way to prevent TeX ligatures, specifically -- and ---, in \starttyping...\stoptyping in MkIV is to 1. define a font feature with tlig=no 2. define a font synonym for the monospace font that uses this font feature 3. setup typing to use this font synonym Is this currently the best way to solve the problem? Thanks, Kevin

multi page TABLE and placetable
by Jos van Gisbergen 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, I'm using TABLE macros for typesetting tables. Since the tables I'm using may get very long, I set "split=yes". This works ... except if I surround a TABLE with \placetable: \placetable[here]{caption} { \bTABLE ... \eTABLE } In such a case a table that is too long to fit on a single page is truncated at page bottom and nothing is printed on the next page. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Jos

Font and Typescript Questions
by curiouslearn 04 May '09

04 May '09

Can someone please help me with the following questions so that I can use some of the typescripts that Wolfgang and some others have so kindly made available. I will use font Bera as an example, since I would like to use it. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.6 (1) How do I know if I have font Bera? As in, where on my computer do I look to see if I have font Bera installed? (2) If I do not have the font, how do I install Bera? I see that there are files on ctan. Where should I save this? (3) Once I have installed the font and I have downloaded Wolfgang's type-bera.tex file, where do I save this file? Can I save it where I save the third-party modules. Once I save it, do I run the usual texhash, followed by luatools --generate followed by context --make (4) Once I have accomplished the top three steps, how do I use it in a document? Do I just type \usetypescript[bera] \switchtobodyfont[bera,12pt] OR, do I also have to type \usemodule[type-bera] I would really appreciate any help.
