ConTeXt modules on CTAN (authors, please check)
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hello, The ConTeXt modules are now mirrored on CTAN, but they might be lacking better descriptions in the catalogue. Authors of modules - please check. > i've catalogued all but one of the new entries. my catalogue to-do file > says: > > macros/context/contrib/context-account done (no licence) > macros/context/contrib/context-inifile [m"unster, gpl] > macros/context/contrib/context-letter done (no licence) > macros/context/contrib/context-sgf done (no licence) > macros/context/contrib/context-tas-presentation done > macros/context/contrib/context-vim done > > as you see, i can't find licence details for -account, -letter and -sgf. (I think they are all public domain, but the request to check is still valid.) Mojca

Bibliography inside .tex file
by Maurício 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hi, I've read about \usemodule[bib], and I learned how to create .bbl file. However, I would like to insert my bibliographic references inside my .tex file, not in an external file. Is it possible to do that? Thanks, Maurício

Directly checking out http://context.aanhet.net/svn?
by Oliver Buerschaper 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Dear Hans and Taco, is it possible to checkout things from the http://context.aanhet.net/svn/ repository directly with svn? I tried this with an SVN client and got the error PROPFIND request failed on '/svn' PROPFIND of '/svn': 301 Moved Permanently (http://context.aanhet.net) Would be extremely helpful though to have (anonymous checkout) access … Cheerio, Oliver

showbody* commands for non-bodyfonts ?
by Alan Stone 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi, When using more than one font in a document, what is the corresponding \showbodyfont command for the non-bodyfont(s) ? I tried \showbodyfont[bodyfont] (1) \showbodyfont[non-bodyfont] (2) and only (1) gets processed and displayed. Same question for \showbodyfontenvironment. Alan

context not found

When you get a script not found in an update (beta) - make sure that you have updated the scritps mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --selfupdate luatools --generate that generate afterwards is needed (probably related to some path cleanup; internal refs need to match) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

more xml in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi all, I played some more with the new mkiv xml mechanism and am beginning to see the light: some things that turned out to be very difficult (at least for me) with the "old" mechanism are easy now. However, I still have a couple of questions: 1. I have this minimal file test.xml: <document> <itemize> <item> one </item> <item> two </item> <item> three </item> </itemize> </document> and this minimal environment test-style.tex: \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{document|itemize|item}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:document \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:itemize \startitemize \xmlflush{#1} \stopitemize \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:item \item \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocess{main}{\inputfilename}{} \stoptext When I run texexec --lua --env=test-style test.xml, I get output only for item "three," not for one and two. What am I doing wrong? 2. In every run, I get this warning: TeXUtil | check loading of file 'test-style', begin/end problem I don't see anything wrong with my files, though. Is this harmless? 3. I have a structure like this to get numbered labels: <lemmasection> <label>1234</label> <content> blahblah </content> </lemmasection> When I process this, I get unwanted spaces in my pdf; they disappear when I delete the newline and space between <content> and blahblah. Is there a magic command to make them disappear? Thanks, and all best Thomas

another bib-question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi all, Taco, yet another question re the bib-module: I am wondering how to deal with place names (or other elements) in different languages. E.g., if a book has been published in Munich, I'd like the place to read "Munich" when the language of the document in which the bibliography occurs is German, "München" when the language is German. So is there any switch that would allow me to have something like this in my .bib- file: address = {\iflanguageelse{de}{München}{Munich}} Or do you have any other suggestions what I could do? Thanks! Thomas

rsync ConTeXt minimals through a firewall
by Piotr Kopszak 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hello, I guess it's possible, but I wasn't able to rsync the ConTeXt minimals via ssh. Any chance for tarballs available instead? Or maybe someone succeeded to rsync from behind a firewall?

TeX Live and ConTeXt MKIV installation and maintenance
by Taco Hoekwater 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi all, There now is a wiki page documenting the setup and maintenance of mkiv: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV The page can still be improved upon (of course), so if you know of something that needs to be added or explained better, please do so. I wrote this page with the texlive 2008 users in mind, but I think most of it applies to the new context minimals as well. For the people not on the texlive list: After ample consideration and discussion, we have decided that texlive will not attempt to do any configuration of mkiv at all other than making sure the three commands (luatools, mtxrun, context) are available in the bin directory. Everything else is left up to the user. But of course we don't want every single texlive context user to ask the same set of questions again and again, so it is helpful to have a wiki page that explains post-install configuration and maintenance. If you are a mkiv user already, or willing to experiment trying to get mkiv running, please have a look at that wiki page. By the way, context on texlive2008 will be 2008.05.21. Mkii (pdftex as well as xetex) runs out of the box, no post-install intervention needed. But if someone is willing to do some extra tests, that will be much appreciated. How to beta-test texlive2008 is explained in ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlnet/tldev/README Best wishes, Taco
