latext beta + xetex
by Thomas A. Schmitz 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi all, there's a bug somewhere in the latest beta when using it with XeTeX (which I normally don't use, but I have a stubborn pdf file which luatex refuses to embed...). Simple testfile \starttext Hello world \stoptext produces a spurious "sss" in the output. All best Thomas

substitutions
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

Dear gang, Sometimes I use the following for simple substitutions: \defineactivecharacter ' {\otfchar{quoteright}} But is there a more general mechanism to do things \definesubstitution{<string1>}{<string2>} eg \definesubstitution{--}{–} Of course ConTeXt already provides this particular substitution but I'm interested in such a mechanism for more general purposes. Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

updating context
by Ilda Khaki 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

today, by looking at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV and following instructions, after updating context and luatex binary in opensuse 11.1, if I run luatools --generate in the terminal as both a root user or a normal user, it will not work and I get bash: /usr/local/bin/luatools: Permission denied Does exist a solution for this?

\startlines in mark IV
by Maurício 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Hi, I setup this test: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \startlines \input test.tex \stoplines \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% File 'test.tex' contains just a 'Hello world!' line. This test goes okay when I use 'texexec' from default Ubuntu package. When I use 'context' from minimals, I get a message that ends with: ! Undefined control sequence. l.3 \input test.tex If I remove lines '\startlines' and \stoplines' from the test, I get no errors. What did I do wrong? Did '\startlines' changed in Mark IV? Thanks, Maurício

Linebreak in Metapost/Metafun Label
by CuriousLearn 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi, Is it possible to break labels in two lines if needed? For example, suppose I have label.rt(textext("Do you see this label text. Quite long. Need to break it across lines"),(3,5)); Can I have it appear in the figure as Do you see this label text. Quite long. Need to break it across lines. Thank you in advance for your help.
