Custom letter head
by Oliver Buerschaper 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Dear Wolfgang, I was wondering how I could place a simple MetaPost graphic into the head area of a letter, next to the address data. I know the manual says you're going to write this and similar things up soon … could you still give me a sneak peek as where to look at and what to modify? All I need is a quick adaption that works for now … Many thanks, Oliver

install PGF/Tikz for ConTeXt minimals
by Aric Bills 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hello, I just installed ConTeXt Minimals under SuSE Linux 11. I'd like to install PGF/Tikz; I've downloaded version 2.0 and un-tarred it, but I have no idea where to copy the files to or what command to issue (a la texhash) to make ConTeXt aware of them. Any directions on how to proceed would be much appreciated! Aric

Thanks Taco, downloading the new zip seems to have some effect. It seems like I've made some progress. $ source ~/.context_env $PWD/tex Setting "/home/mohamed/context-installation-directory/tex" as TEXROOT. Before I do the rest, should I do $ texexec --make --alone or $ texexec --make (as per Han's recommendation?)

interactive reference in footer
by Alan Stone 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Hi, How do you set an interactive link (hyperlink) to the table of contents in a footer ? I tried with \setupfootertexts[-1-][\but[toctoc]][-4-][-3-] and \reference[toctoc] % \ref[toctoc] gives the same error \placecontent This gives the following compile error: ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \but [toctoc{}{}{} \firstoftwoarguments #1#2->#1 \doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4 }\dostopattributes \dosingletexts ...atetexts {#1#2#5}{#6{}{}{}}}}}}} \egroup <argument> ...?tk \v!footer \v!text \c!righttext } \@@nmpos {\getvalue {\??tk... \dododoplacelayouttextline ...#2 #3}\hbox to #1{#4 }\stoplayoutcomponent \get... ... l.45 \chapter{Chapter Testing} ? !

Alan P.S. The "TeX for the Impatient" book mentions... an undefined control sequence, is one of the most common ones you can get. If you respond to the prompt with another '?', TEX will display the following message: Type <return> to proceed, S to scroll future error messages, R to run without stopping, Q to run quietly, I to insert something, E to edit your file, 1 or ... or 9 to ignore the next 1 to 9 tokens of input, H for help, X to quit. sciTE exits the code after an emergency stop, so how do you enable it to accept the above mentioned '?' prompt response ?
