typefile
by Aditya Mahajan 10 Nov '08

Hi, Something is wrong with \typefile in latest context in MKIV. \starttext \typefile{somefile} \stoptext (the file 'somefile' should exist) gives ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \filepath \pathplusfile #1#2->#1 \f!pathseparator #2 \mktypefileverbatim ...rs.typefile("\readfilename ")} \dosometyping ...rt }{\typingparameter \c!stop }}} \stopverbatimcolor \stoppa... \dotypefile ...else \dodotypefile [\v!file ][]{#3} \fi \fi l.3 \typefile{somefile} Also, in MKII, when the file does not exist, you get a warning message in the pdf output. In MKIV, there is no warning. Missing files are silently ignored. Aditya

Pb with verb-pas
by Eric DÉTREZ 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Hello A funny problem When I use pascal verbatim I've got a curious feature (?) Here is a minimal problem \starttext \startPAS i/ 2; nom/ 2; ; \stopPAS \stoptext When I typeset it the i desappear. I only occurs when the / is followed by a space and when the variable before / is made from letters (not followed by a space) It seems it comes from the gestion of comments but I don't understand where it comes from. I could type spaces before / but I need this to type oCaml source code and I changed comments (there are (* ..... *)) but I also need to refer arrays as t.(i).

by Yue Wang 10 Nov '08

Hi, Hans: It seems that left aligned (flushright) does not work for chinese. I attach the minimal test files in the mail. To test the file, please download the zhfonts.tex from http://code.google.com/p/ctxnotes/downloads/list, and the adobe Chinese fonts. (I also mailed you these files long ago for other problems) Yue Wang

Change line spacing of the publication list
by Roy Zuo 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

Hi, I find that when the lines pacing of the text is set by \setupinterlinespace, the line spacing of publication list is not affected at all. I am just wondering if it is possible to change the line spacing of the publication list produced by bibtex to make the article have a uniform look. Thanks in advance. Roy
