A-ha! pstopdf is a Ruby thing, which I don't install because I use Lua only )) Does anyone dare to rewrite the script in Lua? Or maybe there is another way to get PDF (for instance, Lily can produce pdfs directly, isn't it?) > pstopdf is part of the ConTeXt distribution and should give you > something like: > > hraban$ pstopdf > PsToPdf | version 2.0.1 - 2002-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD > > PsToPdf | --convert convert ps into pdf > PsToPdf | --request handles exa request file > PsToPdf | --watch watch folders for conversions (untested) > > I don't see any eps files created.

Problems in latest beta
by Kevin D. Robbins 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

In the latest beta, I nearly have everything working for a set of documents that haven't built cleanly in MkIV since Hans started merging the new structure code. Thanks, Hans and others, for the steady progress! I've started reading the new structure code, and I have to say I find it much easier to understand. I have a few remaining problems, that I've discovered so far, that I'd appreciate any help you can give me. First, I still haven't been able to use \placelistofacronyms or \completelistofacronyms to produce a list of acronyms used in my document. Here is my test case: ===== \definesynonyms[acronym][acronyms][\infull] \setupcapitals[sc=yes] \setupsynonyms[acronym][textstyle=small,width=1.25in] \acronym{ABC}{A Better Compiler} \acronym{DEF}{Don't Ever Fail} \starttext \completelistofacronyms % \title{Acronyms}\placelistofacronyms \section{\ABC\ Section} \infull{ABC} (\ABC) \section{\DEF\ Section} \infull{DEF} (\DEF) \stoptext ===== Here is the error: ===== structure : chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> \headtext {acronyms} ! Undefined control sequence. \dosetsynonymattributes ...def \fontattributehash {\synonymparameterhash #1}... \@@ddsyndeftitle ...tes \c!textstyle \c!textcolor ABC \doif #1#2->\edef \!!stringa {#1 }\edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx \!!stringa \!!str... \dododescriptioncomponent ...er \c!title }\v!none {\global \nodescriptioncap... \@@makedescription ...itle ={#2},\c!bookmark =,][] \@@dostartdescriptionindeed \dodowithpar ...tes \c!textstyle \c!textcolor ABC} #1\@@stopdescription ... l.10 \completelistofacronyms ===== Second, I use the following float definitions for wide figures and tables. The floats are placed as I expect, but neither the wide figures nor the wide tables are given numbers in the caption...I just see "Figure Foo, bar, baz" instead of "Figure 1 Foo, bar, baz". However, the other figures and tables are numbered correctly, so it looks like the counters are incremented, just not used in the captions for wide figures and tables. \definefloat[widefigure][widefigures][figure] \setupfloat[widefigure] [location=inner] \definefloat[widetable][widetables][table] \setupfloat[widetable] [location=inner] Here is a test case: ===== \definefloat[widetable][widetables][table] \setupfloat[widetable] [location=inner] \starttext \completelistoftables \page[yes] \placewidetable[here,force][tab:foo]{Bar} {\starttable [s1 |lp(.25\textwidth) |rp(.25\textwidth) |rp(.25\textwidth) |rp(.25\textwidth) |rp(.25\textwidth)|] \HL[5] \NC Foo \NC \Use4[c]{Bar} \AR \NC \NC Baz \NC Boo \NC Blah \NC Flub \NC \AR \HL[5] \NC Bop \NC 3 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 2 \NC \AR \NC Bap \NC 3 \NC 2 \NC 0.5 \NC 0.5 \NC \AR \NC Bip \NC 1 \NC 2 \NC 3 \NC 0 \NC \AR \NC Nip \NC 3 \NC 2 \NC 0.5 \NC 0.5 \NC \AR \NC Nup \NC 2 \NC 2 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC \AR \HL[5] \stoptable} \placetable[here,force][tab:foo]{Bar} {\starttable [s1 |lp(.25\textwidth) |rp(.25\textwidth) |rp(.25\textwidth) |rp(.25\textwidth) |rp(.25\textwidth)|] \HL[5] \NC Foo \NC \Use4[c]{Bar} \AR \NC \NC Baz \NC Boo \NC Blah \NC Flub \NC \AR \HL[5] \NC Bop \NC 3 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 2 \NC \AR \NC Bap \NC 3 \NC 2 \NC 0.5 \NC 0.5 \NC \AR \NC Bip \NC 1 \NC 2 \NC 3 \NC 0 \NC \AR \NC Nip \NC 3 \NC 2 \NC 0.5 \NC 0.5 \NC \AR \NC Nup \NC 2 \NC 2 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC \AR \HL[5] \stoptable} \stoptext ===== Third, I can't get my appendices to count in letters A, B, C, etc. Following Hans' suggestion, I read strc-def.mkiv<http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/strc-def.mkiv?search=conve…>re: conversion sets. I tried adding these lines to my document: \definestructureseparatorset [appendix] [] [.] \definestructureconversionset [appendix] [Romannumerals,Characters] [numbers] \definestructureresetset [appendix] [] [0] \setupstructureblock[appendix][sectionconversionset=appendix] \setupstructurehead[chapter][sectionconversionset=\structureblockparameter\c!sectionconversionset] But, I still see the appendices counting 1, 2, 3, etc. Where am I going wrong? I built all these examples using ConTeXt Minimals Versions: MTXrun | main context file: /opt/context/beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex MTXrun | current version: 2009.06.02 09:30 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.1-2009050920 (Web2C 7.5.7) luatex.web >= v2376 Thanks, Kevin

Windows PDF viewer with refresh?
by John Devereux 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi All, Sorry for the seemingly trivial question, but does anyone have any advice on the best PDF viewer to use on Windows, for use with Context? I can't even seem to find one with refresh! After years of periodic usage of Context on linux, I am now trying to configure it on a Windows system (for someone else). Any suggestions in general for setting up a decent workflow would also be very welcome. Thanks, -- John Devereux

Hi, is it possible to run code involving the tikz module in the wiki ? I'm asking because there's such a piece of code on the Colors page <texcode> \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \tikz\shade[ball color=red!40!yellow] (0,0) circle (.15cm); \stoptext </texcode> and I couldn't make it work on the wiki by typing: <context> \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \tikz\shade[ball color=red!40!yellow] (0,0) circle (.15cm); \stoptext </context> -- Nicolas

usemodule[bib] upsets abbreviations

Using today's beta (2009-06-03), my abbreviations seem to be upset by the \usemodule[bib] command. Here is a simple test case in which the first line is okay, but the second line, with ! after the abbreviation, fails. \enableregime[il1] \abbreviation {KF} {Kalman filter} \usemodule[bib] \starttext Once upon a time, Rudolph Kalman invented the \KF. Once upon a time, Rudolph Kalman invented the \KF! \stoptext Best regards, Richard P.S. If I don't put the \enableregime in I get a failure of the bib module, not sure why. Converteam UK Ltd.

Reset footnote numbering by chapter?
by Khaled Hosny 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

What is the "official" way to reset footnote numbering by chapter? \setupnote[footnote][way=bychapter] has no effect, searching the mailing list I found \setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter] which works only with MkIV, so is there a MkII equivalent (I don't use MkII myself, but just to document it in the wiki). \setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter] works fine except when I use frontmatter environment, after removing the start/stopfrontmatter from this example, footnotes will reset by chapter, or if I put \setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter] inside one of the chapters. \starttext \setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter] \startfrontmatter \chapter{One} \input knuth\footnote{chapter one} \chapter{Two} \input knuth\footnote{chapter two} \stopfrontmatter \stoptext Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

MkIV 2009.06.03 11:48 If I use \chapter and \section, numbering is ok (1 Chapter, 1.1 Section, 1.2 Section, 2 Chapter etc.), but when I define my own sectioning levels, everything gets running numbers (1 Chapter, 2 Section, 3 Section, 4 Chapter etc.). --- snip --- \setuphead[chapter][page=no] \definehead[Kapitel][chapter] \definehead[Abschnitt][section] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{% \expanded{\Kapitel{My chapter \recurselevel}} \expanded{\Abschnitt{My Zapf \recurselevel}} \input zapf \expanded{\Abschnitt{My Tufte \recurselevel}} \input tufte } \completecontent[criterium=all] \stoptext --- snip --- Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Hi when shifting pages like in the example below, it seems to me like the crop marks should be shifted accordingly. What do you think ?
