Layout module
by Wolfgang Schuster 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

Hi Patrick, I have two points which should be changed in your module: 1. Use simplecolumns for the text and 2. limit the width for the two columns to the width of the figure because this looks better in a float and the complete graphic can be centered on the page or you change this only inside floats. \usemodule[t][layout] \starttext \placefigure{}{\ShowLayout} \stoptext Can you add the module also to the minimals?

Files for verbatim output of Python source, zc.buildout and Apache config files
by Drazen Baic 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

Hello, I'm using MKIV and needed syntax highlighting for a few source and config files. I read on the Wiki and on this list that it should be pretty easy to do this in Lua and although I never wrote anything in Lua I just tried it. Maybe the result will be of use for somebody so I tried to post them to this list a few days ago but the mail never showed up. Maybe because of the attachment size. I read on the Wiki that the best place for putting custom formatter files would be the context distribution or http://modules.contextgarden.net but as I'm pretty sure that some stuff is missing and I'm sure there are some bugs included I tried to post them here. Would it be OK to put the files in a section on the Wiki to start something like a repository for verb-*.lua files where it would be easy to extend and correct them? The verb-*.lua files I created are for syntax highlighting of Python source code, Apache http.conf and zc.buildout config files. For the zc.buildout files I used a simple solution and just defined the keywords that appear in a standard Plone buildout.cfg file as I didn't need more. I hope to finish two additional verbatim files for XML and Shell scripts in the next days. As I don't have any experience in writing Lua code I chose to use the tex/context/base/verb-*.lua and the verb-cpp.lua files posted by Shen Chen in http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20081002.173802.460c46fe.en.html) for a start. Additionally I used the vim syntax files and the official Apache documentation. Here is an overview of what is covered: The verb-apa.lua file distinguishes between the following five states: - declarations - strings - sections (like <Directory> and </Directory>) - comments - options The verb-py.lua file distinguishes between the following five states: - all statements, repeats, conditionals and operators - strings (multi line comment wit ''' or """ are supported) - preconditions (import, from, as) - comments - builtins The verb-py.cfg file distinguishes between the following four states: - sections - variables - keywords - comments Regards, Drazen

Producing EPDF
by Michail Vidiassov 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

Dear All, is it possible to and howdoi produce EPDF (in mkiv if it matters). By EPDF I mean EPS like PDF, pagesize == bounding box of what is really printed with minimal or no white border. Reason to do that - produce with ConTeXt one-two line short labels for another program (Asymptote). Sincerely, Michail

Appendix receives number instead of letter
by Alex Lubberts 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

Hi, Previously, \startappendices switched the numbering to letters, but with the latest beta appendices receive a number. Numbering does restart from 1, however. Example: \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Normal chapter} This chapter receives a number. \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{Appendix} This chapter should receive a letter A, but gets number 1 \stopappendices \stoptext Regards, Alex

Footnotes number can not be reset by "way=bychapter"
by Yanrui Li 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

Hi, "\setupfootnotes[way=bychapter]" can not work. This is minimal example: %%%% \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter] \starttext \chapter{The Bare Basics} In this\footnote{CAGD} first chapter, we cover some basic geometry\footnote{CAGD}. \chapter{Lines and Planes} Next, we cover\footnote{CAGD} the basics of lines and planes\footnote{CAGD}. \stoptext %%%% However, I can get expected result with "\setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter,start=0]". If I set "start=1", footnotes number will begin with "2" but not "1". What's wrong with it? -- Best wishes, Li Yanrui * Gentoo Linux (~x86) * ConTeXt Minimals Beta (2009.04.18 13:47)

LuaTeX 64bit
by Mohamed Bana 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

Hi guys, I don't think I have ever needed more than than 3-4gb, so it worth using the 64bit ver. of LuaTeX? Can I force the minimals install script to download and use the 32bit binary instead? I'm on a 64bit machine and I'm sure that on linux I can run that app in 32bit mode. - Mohamed

How to set \definemakeup without affect other pages?
by Wei-Wei Guo 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Dear all, I use \setupbackgrounds to draw a line under header. It works fine. When I setup a cover makeup and use it, the lines under headers are gone. The "headerstate=none" causes the problem. But I don't want the lines under headers appear in cover. What should I do? Here is an example. %====================================== \setupbackgrounds [header][text] [frame=off,bottomframe=on,rulethickness=1.5pt] \definemakeup[cover] [headerstate=none, footerstate=none, pagestate=stop, doublesided=yes] \starttext \startcovermakeup \input knuth \stopcovermakeup \input knuth \stoptext %====================================== Best wishes, Wei-Wei

Hi, where could I read about "calculator math"? Regards -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) - Why did a mathematician call his dog Cauchy? - Because it left a residue at every pole.
