Re: [NTG-context] syntax highlighting problem with vim module

Hi, Finally some success. I get product-name-vimsyntax.tmp when I run context. It complains about not finding product-name-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp. I kill the compilation and run the command for vim manually which generates product-name-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp. Then I run context again and I get pretty printing. I am somewhat happy but I do not know why this is happening. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Re: [NTG-context] stretching smallcaps with a style command
by Bob Reynolds 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Just to let anyone know who's interested, I more or less solved this problem with the (more or less undocumented) command \definealternativestyle [StretchedSmallCaps] [\StretchedSmallCaps] [\StretchedSmallCaps]. It allows me to set \setupsynonyms [abbreviation] [textstyle=StretchedSmallCaps, criterium=all], which essentially works. Is this generally applicable enough to put on the wiki somewhere? I now have another abbreviations question. What is the easiest way to allow digits (and, ideally, the forward slash) in abbreviation names (i.e. be able to type \PS/2 and not get the error "\PS is undefined")? This occurs quite commonly, particularly with numbers. I can define the abbreviation fine, and I can use the \infull version of it fine, but I can't use the command version at all. Another example: \ATX12V. I've been working around it by defining both synonyms and a logo like \PSTwo which typesets like I want \PS/2 to typeset, but what is a more elegent way of doing this that doesn't involve definining two different commands? I don't know how to change catcodes, despite numerous failed attempts to do just that with commands like \unprotect \catcode`2=\@@letter \protect.

I would like to letterspace (I think that is a correct typographical term, I'm a little new at typesetting, sorry) and smallcap my dozens of abbreviations, and I can get it to work manually but not with \setupsynonyms. Googling the wiki, mailing lists, etc. didn't help and I'm not enough of a TeX programmer to understand the definitions in the source code in this case. I run TeXLive 2008 on Gentoo Linux with ConTeXt version: CtxTools | context version: 2008.05.21 15:21 (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex) CtxTools | context version: 2008.05.21 15:21 (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex) http://live.contextgarden.net/ doesn't seem to be working for anything at the moment, so I don't know if it works there or not. Below is a small sample input I made to illustrate my attempts; I tried to make it as transparent as possible. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank You Very Much, Bob \setupcolor [hex] \definecolor [LightBlue] [h=8080FF] \setupcolors [state=start] \setupbodyfont [10pt] \setupcapitals [sc=yes] \def\stretchedspaceamount {.1em} \define [1] \StretchedSmallCaps {\smallcaps {\stretchedlowercase {#1}}} \define \Term {\color [LightBlue]} % \setupsynonyms [abbreviation] [textstyle=\StretchedSmallCaps] % I would like this to work, but it doesn't % \setupsynonyms [abbreviation] [textstyle=\italic] % other commands like this work \abbreviation {CPU} {central processing unit} \starttext \Term {\StretchedSmallCaps {CPU}} = \Term {\infull {CPU}} % this produces the output that I want \Term {\smallcaps {\lowercase {CPU}}} = \Term {\infull {CPU}} % this is what it looks like without stretching \Term {\CPU} = \Term {\infull {CPU}} % this is what I want to type to produce the stretched, smallcaps output \stoptext

XeTeX and lmtypewriter10-regular
by Bart C. Wise 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

I'm running TeXLive 2008. When I compile for XeTeX (texexec --xtx) I get the following output that appears to be generating the lmtypewriter10-regular font. The bad part is that this is very slow. The part that's even worse, it does this probably 20...30...40 times? A compilation takes 145 seconds, and about 130+ seconds of time seem to be dealing with lmtypewriter10-regular. This doesn't happen on small test files, so I know I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas? Thanks, Bart kpathsea: Running mktextfm lmtypewriter10-regular mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input lmtypewriter10-regular This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (Web2C 7.5.7) kpathsea: Running mktexmf lmtypewriter10-regular !

New bibligraphy style
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Hello, I am using the bib module and I want to redefine the display style for the references. I have therefore created a new file "bibl-ris.tex" which I have put in the same folder as bibl-apa.tex and the other existing ones. In my environment file I have \setuppublications[alternative=ris]. Unfortunately, I get the error file bibl-ris not found, unknown style ignored Where should I put my bibl-ris file, or is there something else I need to do before it can find my file? Thanks. Richard

Re: [NTG-context] syntax highlighting problem with vim module
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 19 Nov '08

Hi, I updated context and grepped mtxrun for noquotes and the output is same as yours. I have a query. Line 270 of t-vim says \runvimsyntax{#2} Line275: \input #2-vimsyntax.tmp\relax where #2 is product_name-vimsyntax.tmp. This means that if the product name is xyz then \runvimsyntax{#2} which is basically a run of vim over #2 and it generates the #2-vimsyntax.tmp. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Hi, I am running MarkIV and "luatools t-vim.tex" shows me the path of t-vim.tex. The version does say version=2008.07.15. I tried to execute the same command which t-vim.tex executes for vim but it says that command line is not correct. I switched on the logging and then I read the log and it says tabstop=8 is a new file. I doubt that something may be wrong with the command line for vim. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Re: [NTG-context] bold small caps with latin modern

What a pity... With MKII and texlive, I could do this: \definebodyfont[15pt,14pt,13pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt] [sc] [bf=cmbcsc10 sa 1, tf=cmcsc10 sa 1] \pdfpkresolution=1200 \starttext \sc Normal and \bf bold Small Caps. \stoptext But there seems to be no possibility to use bitmap fonts in the minimals. Once, I've heard about workarounds, for example getting bold by double printing with some displacement. Would this be possible? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
