Cyrillic in most simple way
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hi all, I just downloaded and setup latest context beta on my new machine.I made a simple script file for my teaching schedule in UTF-8 encoding and with %engine=luatex prefix. But.. the default font is LMRoman12, and it has no Cyrrilic letters. I need simple document and I don't care about fonts at all. how can I get Cyrillic in most simple way? (Without writing a typescript for Times New Roman.. oh, not again) Maybe there are some Cyrillic fonts/typescripts already shipped with context? Best, regards, Vyatcheslav

by Xan 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hi, I'm amazing if it's possible to process, by some way, a text written in context for context overline in red the incorrect words (via ispell). Overline in red is any example. For example, we could \frame this words. How it could be done?, if it's. Xan. PS: Please, CCme.

by Pau 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hello, I am trying to write a text in Castillian and I don't get the inverted exclamation symbol right. I am using \language[es] \mainlanguage[es] in the preamble and I also tried playing with utf without success. Instead of ¡ and ¿ I get an "a" with a cedilla and a pound symbol, respectively Of course, I can use {!`} and {?`}, but I was wondering why I don't get these right using \language I have done my homework and have googled, yahoo'ed and even clustied hint? thanks, Pau

indenting
by Xan 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

I have the following enumeration: \defineenumeration [definition] [text=Definició,headstyle=bold,style=italic, between=\blank,titledistance=.5em, textdistance=1em,stopper=.,location=hanging,titleleft=(,titleright=)] and when I use it (\startdefinition ... \stopdefinition) it appears not indenting. I want to indenting it, but \indenting before \startdefinition does not work. How can do that? Thanks in advance, Xan.

useURL interactionmode
by Severin 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hello, I defined urls like \useURL [activepython] [{http://.test.com}][sub]. Doing \from[url] with interactive mode enabled I get 'http://test.com' written in the document and the hyperlink point to http://test.com/sub. Now, if I disable interactive mode I still get 'http://test.com' on the output, but It would be nice to have 'http://test.com/sub', since there are no hyperlinks. is there a way to do this? My idea would be to write a macro that encabsulates \useURL, but is different, depending on the interaction-mode. Regards, Severin

Re: [NTG-context] new beta

Dear Hans and Taco, I was so glad to see both of you in Seoul, far from your place. I noticed that some problems in Korean typesetting were cleared in your demo. Thank you for the new beta. I didn't test yet, however, I believe that it is perfect since Dr. Kim said so. And, his comments will give you more clues to make better output. Thank you again for your concern. with best regards, Dalyoung Jeong

Problem getting output
by Charles Doherty 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Dear all, When I try to typeset a file using XeConTeXt METAFONT is called and goes into a loop trying to make the fonts you see below. I have made a clean TeX installation from the MacTeX site but the result is the same. As an alternative I installed Minimals and created an MinXeConTeXt.engine in TeXShop. Using this I get a pdf with all my fonts without a problem. I uninstalled TeX completely but with the re- installation of MacTeX 2008 I get the result below. I would be most grateful for advice on what to do to put things right. Thanks in advance, Charlie Doherty TeXExec | processing document 'N0v2007.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file N0v2007.top TeXExec | using randomseed 468 TeXExec | tex engine: xetex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is XeTeXk, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.6 (Web2C 7.5.7) %&-line parsing enabled. entering extended mode (./N0v2007.tex ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2009.2.17 int: english/ english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkii) (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-mtx.tex)) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys loaded (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-config/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-tmf.tex) (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-otf.tex) (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns en->ec:ec->1->2:3 uk->ec:ec->2->2:3 de- >ec:ec->3->2: 3 fr->ec:ec->4->2:3 es->ec:ec->5->2:3 pt->ec:ec->6->2:3 it->ec:ec->7- >2:3 nl->e c:ec->8->2:3 cz->ec:ec->9->2:3 sk->ec:ec->10->2:3 pl->ec:ec->11->2:3 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : N0v2007.top loaded (./N0v2007.top specials : loading definition file dpx (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/spec-dpx.tex specials : loading definition file fdf (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.mkii)) specials : fdf loaded ) specials : fdf,dpx loaded specials : loading definition file xet (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/spec-xet.tex) specials : fdf,dpx loaded ) (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-tmf.tex) (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-otf.tex) (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex) . . .To keep the file short I have deleted all the lines in between . .

Letter module - appendices
by Wolfgang Schuster 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi, I know at least a few people use my letter module and I want to ask them if they have a problem when I change the handling of appendices like CC and postscript. The current way to write them is \startletter [copy=..., postscript=...] ... \stopletter and I want to change this in \startletter ... \CC{...} % or \copy{...} \PS{...} % or \postscript{...} \stopletter As positive side effect of the new method would be to write \startletter \opening{...} ... \closing{...} \stopletter as a alternative way to write the opening and closing text (the old keyval works too) but the appendices can be only handled in one way. Wolfgang
