Hi, I have emacs 23.0.91.1 on Windows XP. I downloaded cedet-1.0pre6 and followed the instructions in the file cedet-build.el, ie 1) M-x eval-buffer 2) M-x cedet-build-in-default-emacs I get following status report from the build process: CEDET BYTE COMPILATION STATUS: Step 1: Byte compile EIEIO...not needed Step 2: EDE Autloads...done. Step 3: Semantic Autloads...done. Step 4: SRecode Autloads...done. Step 5: Load common/cedet.el ...done Step 6: Turning on EDE ... During step 6, i get the following message in the echo area: wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p (2048 1 . 59092) Could someone suggest a solution for this?

Crop marks and \setuplayout[nx,ny]
by Nicolas Girard 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hi, the following code, which I ran with context --mode=print shows crop marks in the middle if the sheet, overlapping the pages. It is legitimate to specify dy=0pt in order to minimize paper cuts. It seems to me like, in the case when dy=0pt, the code dealing with crop marks should try not to overlap the pages, or suppress the marks between two columns of pages. What do you think ? Is there currently a solution to this ? Cheers, Nicolas ============ \definepapersize[BC][width=85mm,height=54mm] \definelayer[blocks][width=85mm,height=54mm] \doifmodeelse{print}{ \setuppapersize[BC][A4] \setuplayout[nx=2,ny=5,dx=1cm,dy=0pt] \setuplayout[location=middle,width=fit,height=fit,marking=on] }{ \setuppapersize[BC][BC] \showframe[edge] } \setuppagenumbering[location=,state=stop] \def\ZapfinoMedium{} \def\ZapfinoBig{} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=blocks] \starttext \startstandardmakeup \setlayer[blocks][preset=rightbottom]{% \externalfigure[g-wurf][height=4.7cm]} \setlayer[blocks][preset=middletop,voffset=1mm]% {\ZapfinoMedium Title} \startbuffer \vbox{% \startlines Some Names of Some Cats \vskip-3pt\tfx smaller \vskip-5pt text \stoplines} \stopbuffer \setlayer[blocks][voffset=1.5cm,hoffset=2mm]{\getbuffer} \startbuffer \vbox{% Name and\hfill\break Address }% \stopbuffer \setlayer[blocks][preset=leftbottom,offset=1.5mm,hoffset=0.5mm]{\getbuffer} \setlayer[blocks][preset=rightbottom,offset=1.5mm]{www.samtfeld.de} \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext

Hi, shouldn't "substititute" be substi..., err..., replaced with "substitute", in rlxtools.rb, lines 115, 148 and 207 ? Cheers, Nicolas

3D PDF support (AKA asymptote support)
by Michail Vidiassov 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Dear Hans, Mojca and All, a draft for an analog of LaTeX movie15 package for including Adobe Reader compatible 3d models into PDF files is at http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/movie15context.tgz . Almost no docs/comments inside, but questions are of course welcome. You'd better take a brief look at part 5.2 of movie15 docs http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/movie15/doc/movie15.pdf and part 13.6 of ISO/Adobe PDF spec http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf to understand what are the settings. Since I lack understanding of ConTeXt/luatex combo and have to pass data for dictionaries containing other dictionaries to 3D model embedder I had to abuse two existing parameters, "control" and "display" and rely on sane lua code being put there. And even the limited parameter correctness checks do not report problems, they just silently fail to execute. One more option to deal with 3D models is not to embed them as annotations in the main PDF file, but to make a PDF with only 3D model in it and attach it to the main PDF, linking to a clickable 2D image (like attachfile2 LaTeX package). Donno if that functionality is in working condition now and how to use it. Sincerely, Michail

Bug in mkiv math mode: missing \longrightarrow
by Otared Kavian 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hi Hans, Testing your last night's beta, LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.1-2009050813 (Web2C 7.5.7) ConTeXt ver: 2009.06.04 22:20 MKIV fmt: 2009.6.4 int: english/ english I noticed that \longrightarrow is missing in mkiv, while everything is correct in mkii. Here is a minimal example: %%% begin example \starttext Consider a continuous function $f : (0,1) \longrightarrow E$, where $E $ is a Banach space, as above. Consider a continuous function $f : (0,1) \rightarrow E$, where $E$ is a Banach space, as above. \stoptext %%% end example In mkiv nothing appears for \longrightarrow, although the typesetting goes through. Thanks for your attention: OK

Horizontal bar vs emdash
by Maurício 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hi, I know I can input an emdash with: \emdash Is there an alternative when I want an horizontal bar? See this, where I found they can be different: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark,_non-English_usage#Quotation_da… They have different unicode numbers, U+2014 and U+2015. (Is there something similar to \showcharacters? I read in tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/enco-ini.mkiv it's in a todo list, but I thought it's worth asking.) Thanks, Maurício

Font sizes in item group
by Michael Bynum 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

I am trying to find out it there is a way to set the font size for each level of an item group so that as you go down the item group, the font decreases a small amount. I assume there must be a way, but I haven't found anything looking around the manuals. Here is my current item group. \defineitemgroup[bullet][levels=3] \setupitemgroup[bullet][1][1] \setupitemgroup[bullet][2][2] \setupitemgroup[bullet][3][3] Thanks, Mike

Printen van code met een PDF overlay, makkelijk met ConTeXt?
by Gerben Wierda 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

Beste allemaal, ik wil broncode uitprinten met regelnummers op pagina's met een bepaalde overlay. Ik heb dus ascii text files als input (de code) een overlay in PDF en wil deze gecombineerd printen. Ik zat te denken: is een ConTeXt based workflow hier een mogelijke oplossing? De regelnummers e.d. kan ik eventueel met het pr programma genereren. Met vriendelijke groet, Gerben

ppchtex experience
by Helge Kruse 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

Hello, I need to write some chemical strucutures in LaTeX and dont know, what is the best tools to do it. The structures are crown ether and cryptands. Yes, and I am unexperienced. 1) What would be the way to write a [18]crown-6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_ether) structure formula with PPCHTEX? 2) Is there any kind of repository, where I can take common structures and/or adapt these to the required structures? Regards, Helge
