MetaPost graphics within formulas
by Oliver Buerschaper 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

Hi there, maths can sometimes be weird and even more so the kinds of formulas one needs to typeset occasionally ;-) So here I need to typeset triangles and a variety of other polygons right in the middle of a display formula. What I've been able to come up with so far is something like this: --- \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{tetrahedral} u := 10pt; draw (0,0)--(2u,0)--(u,sqrt(3)*u)--cycle; \stopuseMPgraphic \startformula \Phi(\useMPgraphic{tetrahedral})=F_{kln}^{ijm}\,v_iv_jv_kv_l\, \delta_{j^*nk^*}\,\delta_{l^*n^*i^*}\,\Phi(\emptyset) \stopformula \stoptext --- Now if I only knew how to properly align my MetaPost figure with the rest of the formula … any ideas? Cheerio, Oliver

Hi, 1. Does anyone have the typescripts for these fonts with or without the opticals? 2. Has anyone come across a guide for installing the optical versions of Warnock, Chaparral and Jenson thanks Mohamed Bana

Another typographic crime case
by Piotr Kopszak 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hello list, Due to scarcity of decent free fonts containing cyrillic characters I was contemplating mixing two different fonts of which "font a" would be used only for latin letters and "font b" containing missing unicode characters would be used only for the ones missing in "font a". Is it feasible in Mark IV? Piotr -- -- Piotr Kopszak, Ph.D. Polish Art Gallery, National Museum in Warsaw -----------------------------> http://kopszak.mnw.art.pl/ http://okle.pl

smultron editor with ConTeXt also usable with MacTeX-TL?
by Joachim Kreimer-de Fries 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Dag ok, ConTeXt-garden suggests to use Smultron editor with Minimal-ConTeXt installation - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ ConTeXt_Minimals#Smultron_installation_and_configuration and gives some information about how to configure Smultron to work as an editor for ConTeXt. Question: Might it be worthwile to use Smultron (instead of TeXShop) as editor also with the Mac-TeX-TL installation which I have? Then, how to adjust the configuration of Smultron in that case, _instead_ of the following for Minimal-ConTeXt (quoted from that instruction): ---------------------------------------- 4. Create a new command by pressing the "New Command" button and type a name (e.g. "minimalsTexexec"). Then, write in the text field at the bottom: #!/bin/sh cd /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/ . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ ConTeXtMinimals/tex cd %%d texexec %%p ---------------------------------------- As far as I'm able to look after it, my TeXLife installation is located in: /usr/local/texlive/2007 with ConTeXt scripts in: /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context But I don't dare to adapt the Smultron configuration above without confirmation or alternative instruction ... Or have I to decide wether to continue to use ConTeXt in MacTeX- TeXLife with TeXShop _OR_ to install Minimal-ConTeXt and use it with Smultron? Goutgaun! joachim -- Kreimer-de Fries

\index versus makeindex.
by John Culleton 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Usually I use makeindex for indexing but for my current job I thought the Context \index command would be convenient. However I discovered that the \index command does not provide for page ranges. If I index the same item on pages 46, 47, 48, and 49 makeindex will collapse this into a range of 46-49. Context won't. I looked at the book.tuo file but it does not look like something I can hand-modify. Is there a work-around I have missed or must I revert to makeindex to get a proper index? I am ccing Hans because my posts don't seem to make their way to the list for some reason. Perhaps Comcast has torpedoed me once again. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm

all about \about
by John Culleton 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

The \about cross reference command woks ok if I use \about[aa] It delivers the title (or part of it in this case) of the section marked aa. but when I try to give it some text it blows up on the text, e.g., \about{foo}[aa] So what if anything goes between the { and the }? What purpose do they serve? -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm

Footnotes
by Ulrich Dirr 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

Hi, I'm recently testing mkiv/luatex (ConTeXt ver: 2008.07.18 18:38 MKIV fmt: 2008.7.19 installed; compiling with 'context file') for a new project. I don't know if my questions depend on mkii or mkiv specifics. I have some problems figuring out what kind of parameters I can use to setup footnotes in a multicolumn layout (is it better to use column sets and define areas?). When I'm using location=lastcolumn then footnotes get placed in the last column *inside* the text column while when using firstcolumn as an option they will be placed below the first column but outside the text column at the end of the page. And both columns don't get balanced. How can I get two text columns balanced and footnotes place on the last column at the end of the page? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To illustrate what I want (x=text, m=footnote text): A) If the page is 'full' xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1. nnnnnnnnnnn xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2. nnnnnnnnnnn xxxxxxxxxxxxxx nnnnnnnnnnnnnn B) If the page is only partially filled: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1. nnnnnnnnnnn 2. nnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - How can I get footnote numbers aligned with the left margin of the text/column block (margindistance=0em doesn't help)? Footnotes should run as a 'normal' paragraph (no hanging). I'm also quiet lost what options I can set with \setupfootnotes, because they are not explained in the manual (ma-cb-en-print.pdf, p. 46; cont-eni.pdf, p. 101) ... My test file looks like this: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \setupbodyfont [9pt] \setupfootnotes[location=lastcolumn,rule=off,numbercommand=\myfootnotenumber ] \def\myfootnotenumber#1{#1. } \starttext \startcolumns[n=2,tolerance=verytolerant] Hasselt is an old Hanseatic City, situated 12~km north of Zwolle at the river Zwartewater. The city has a long history since obtaining the city charter around 1252. Part and parcel of this history can be traced back to a large number of monuments to be admired in the city center.\footnote{Erste Fußnote!} There you will find the St. Stephanus church, a late gothic church dating back to 1479 with a magnificent organ.
