Installation problem (was Updates without rsync)

Hello everyone, I wanted to get a clean, up-to-date installation of Context on Windows (without using rsync), so started from scratch as follows: 1. Downloaded http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/minimals-snapshot-mswin.zip 2. Unzipped to C:\Tools\context 3. Renamed C:\Tools\context\texmf-context to texmf-context-old 4. Downloaded cont-tmf.zip and unzipped contents to c:\Tools\context\texmf-context 3. From command window, ran: cd \Tools\context setuptex mktexlsr luatools --generate luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate texexec --make context --make 4. To generate new pdf, ran: context testdoc.tex Everything seemed to execute without errors until the last step which returned: MtxRun | loading configuration for C:/Tools/context/texmf/web2c from C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/trees/90e2367b37b32bcc25e442581c9e72e2 MtxRun | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en" --lua="C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.lua" "./testdoc.tex" luatex.exe: C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.fmt: No such file or directory MtxRun | fatal error, code: 1 Looking at the source directory, a file "testdoc.top" has been created but nothing else. Can someone please point me towards a next step? Thanks, Richard P.S. I tried copying cont-en.fmt from "C:\Tools\context\texmf-mswin\web2c\luatex\pdftex" to the cache directory but got "Fatal format file error, I'm stymied". Converteam UK Ltd.

Is this an encoding problem?
by Maurício 31 May '09

Hi, I'm using the lines below in the start of a book '.tex' file. It selects the 'gentium' pre-defined typeface, and the file itself was done using utf8. However, a few unicode characters desapear or cause small problems, like these (unicodes between 2012 and 2015): ― (before spoken text) - (hyphen) I thought they could be missing from the font, but I have already used gentium by just loading the font, before I learned about typefaces. (I did download the font from its site, however, instead of using that from minimals.) Did I do anything wrong? Thanks, Maurício %%%% \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[pt] \setuppapersize[a5][a5] \usetypescript[gentium] \setupbodyfont[gentium,20pt] \setupindenting[small] \indenting[yes] \setupwhitespace[small] \definestartstop [verse] [before=\vbox\bgroup\startlines, after=\stoplines\egroup] \defineselector[title][max=2,n=2] \setuplist[chapter][width=0pt] \setupheads[alternative=middle] \setuphead[chapter][number=no,incrementnumber=list] \starttext

Error with \placefootnotes
by Khaled Hosny 31 May '09

31 May '09

With the following sample and MkIV \starttext \setupfootnotes[location=text] This\footnote{Or that, if you prefer.} is a sentence with a footnote. \placefootnotes \stoptext I get: ! Undefined control sequence. \doplacenotes ... \endgroup \the \everysetupnotes <to be read again> \fi <to be read again> \stoptext l.5 \stoptext I think \everysetupnotes in strc-not.tex, line 913 should be \everysetupnote, but after fixing it the output isn't correct, any ideas?

See the following example, I get unknown references in the log and question marks in the output. I'm working on a project that I should finnish soon, so if fixing this will take some time, please let me know. \starttext \chapter[1]{One} \in[2]: \about[2] \chapter[2]{Two} \in[1]: \about[1]. \stoptext Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

updates without rsync
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 30 May '09

30 May '09

Gentlemen and Ladies, I am using ConTeXt on a company Windows PC behind two firewalls with no possibility of accessing or changing the firewalls. I've tried to update using the minimals installation and rsync, but nothing gets through. What is the recommended method of updating to the latest ConTeXt when rsync is not an option? The last time I tried, I downloaded cont-tmf.zip from http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm and unzipped the contents to overwrite everything in texmf-local. Is this still the best way? Thanks.

Indent after formula in enumeration
by Xan 30 May '09

30 May '09

Hi, I have \setupformulae[indentnext=auto] but when I put a \startformula \stopformula in demo environment it does not indent. Why? What can I do for getting that? My environment is: \defineenumeration[demo][text={Demostració.\space}, number=no,location=serried,width=fit,headstyle=italic, indentnext=yes,between=\blank,textdistance=.5em,closesymbol={\mathematics{\Box}},style=normal] Thanks a lot, Xan.

Theorems with arguments like amsthm
by Xan 30 May '09

30 May '09

Hi, I have my environment of context that defines the theorems and lemmas like amsthm in latex. For example, for lemmas, I have: \defineenumeration [lemma] [text={Lemma},headstyle=bold,between=\blank,titledistance=0em,textdistance=1em, stopper={.\space},location=serried,left={\bgroup\bf},right={\egroup},width=fit,style=italic] The question is how can I get the typical argument of lemmas: "Lema 4.1 (superadditive lemma)"? How can I add the possibility that lemma _could_ have one argument (the phrase in parentesis)?. I'm not a TeX programmer, such a ConTeXt user. Any hint? Thanks, Xan.

Latest beta and MKII problem

29 May '09

The latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2009.05.28 14:36 MKII fmt: 2009.5.28 int: english/english) no longer processes my files: all I get is complaints about an extra \else. That is, \definehead[LevelCHead][chapter] \setuphead[LevelCHead][style={\tf \it},alternative=text,number=no,page=no] \starttext Hello world! \LevelCHead{Hello world!} Donec placerat. Nullam nibh dolor, blandit sed, fermentum id, imperdiet sit amet, neque. Nam mollis ultrices justo. Sed tempor. \stoptext gets !
