ConTeXt meeting - *Important*
by Mojca Miklavec 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Hello, the long awaited mail ... here are the fees for ConTeXt meeting (for those who pay until 15th July): - fee for non-members: => 210 EUR - base fee for members of one of TeX user groups - or those who become members for the first time => 180 EUR - if you are already a member of some user group and become a new member of yet another one (NTG/TUG/DANTE/GUST/CSTUG) - if you are a member of three of them already - if you are not a member yet, but become a member of two new ones - if you are accompanying person: => 170 EUR Discount for students: => minus 20 EUR (same categories apply as above) Additinal fee for decisions & payments after 16th July => plus 20 EUR (if there is still free place in hostel) Should you consider the fee too low (or to difficult to calculate), feel free to sponsor the event :) :) :) We accept any amout up to 250 EUR :) :) :) And I try to keep up with my emails if you need some answer. =============================================== The fee covers: - lodging & full board, starting with dinner on Wednesday and ending with breakfast on Monday - trasportation, all entrance fees and lunch on whole-day excursion to The Skocjan Caves (bring something warm to wear; it's about 8 degrees inside if I recall correctly) Anyone that wants to join for one day only: - (required) become a member of some user group of your choice (let me know in advance to get you the welcome packages) - (optional) 10 EUR for lunch & T-shirt But you also need to register in advance to get the T-shirt and to spare a chair for you. Additional optional costs might include: - optional activities - depending on schedule & interests (anyone feels like going rafting?) - drinks - you might want to visit some interesting places *after* the conference: http://www.genspot.com/video-66733/prvi-na-svetu-luping-tobogan-v-moravskih… =============================================== Joining TeX user groups. User groups support development of TeX (funding development of LuaTeX, fonts, ... etc.). By being a member you support the development as well. Your fee for the conference will lower if you already are or will become a new member now. How to become a new member now and get the discount? - choose your favorite TeX user group (TUG, DANTE, NTG, GUST) - pay the discounted price - let me know your decision by email - you will pay the membership fee & get a welcome package at the conference =============================================== To come or not to come? I would be grateful to know your final decision until 15th July and have the money on account until then. If you intend to come, but cannot pay until 15th of July for some reason, let me know. I will cancel the reservation of empty beds on that day. If you pay and change your mind later, I will return you part of the fee after the conference (depends how much hostel will charge us). If you don't pay and change your mind later, it's 20 EUR more, but please ask first if there are still free places available. In case there will be no places left, you can always go to the hostel 200m away from ours, so that's not a problem, but it'll be less convenient and more expensive for you. =============================================== If you need a receipt in advance, let me know, I will send it to you, others will get it at the conference. You should either bring money personally :) or transfer it to the account mentioned below. Once you do so, please drop me a mail with: - your name - the sum you transferred - TeX user group(s) that you want to join (you'll fill in the form & pay for them at the conference) Account info for bank transfers: Recipient: ========= IBAN: SI 56 3400 0100 2957 666 Studentsko drustvo MASS Vega klub Jadranska 19 SI - 1000 Ljubljana Bank: ==== BIC: KSP KSI 22 XXX Banka Sparkasse d.d. Cesta v Kleče 15 SI - 1000 Ljubljana ---- Hope to see you soon, Mojca

Total number of figures/tables, etc.
by Oleg Kolosov 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Hi! Is there are an easy way to get total number of pages/tables/figures etc.? \getnumber[table] of \getnumber[figure] returns 0, \getnumber[page] gives some irrelevant number. I've found command \totalnumberofpages, is there are something similar for others? It would be great to also automatically change the following word as in: 1 figure, but 2 figures Is there support for that in ConTeXt? -- Best Regards, Oleg Kolosov

Jonathan Kew's response... --- You can't use \pdfminorversion in XeTeX, that's a pdfTeX-specific command. I think you need to pass the -V command-line option to xdvipdfmx (I expect this can be done somewhere in the ConTeXt scripts, but don't know any details), or else set it in the dvipdfmx.cfg configuration file. AFAIK, the usual default is 4, but you can set it higher if you need to embed other PDFs that use a higher version.

context manuals sources

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the meaning and use of the c! and v! prefixes in commands in, for example, the layo-xx.tex source files at http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals/context/ aka... \setupcolors [\c!state=\v!start] \setupsystem [\c!random=\v!big] \setuplayout [\c!location=\v!middle, \c!style=\ss, \c!backspace=2.5cm, \c!topspace=1.5cm, \c!width=16cm, \c!margindistance=.25cm, \c!margin=2.5cm, \c!height=\v!middle] :Oo ?

For ex. I have cyrillic capital a in font on 00C1 where in pdfr-def this is Aacute. According to enco-utf my 00C1 in font should map to 0410 position (I hope this is understandable description). Maybe there is some switch to enable such mapping? I don't understand these encoding/mapping issues enough to create necessary table myself. Maybe you can provide some example, so I will be able to help? P. S. Sorry for late response. -- Best Regards, Oleg Kolosov

pdf bizareness...
by Alan Stone 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hi, - ConTeXt ver: 2008.06.22 17:38 MKII fmt: 2008.6.23 ( ctx minimal) - XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.1 (Web2C 7.5.6) When using (1) \setupinteraction[state=start, title={éèçàù}, subtitle={éèçàù}, author={éèçàù}, keyword={éèçàù}] the accented characters get al scrambled up in the pdf document properties fields while in the document itself all is ok. Qué passa ? (2) \pdfminorversion=5 (or whatever) gives ! Undefined control sequence. l.31 \pdfminorversion =5 ? ! Emergency stop. l.31 \pdfminorversion =5 What's the alternative ? Thanks, Alan

texshow-web questions
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

As an eternal optimist, I often refer to texshow-web in the hope that I will find a function to help me, or a quick description of one that I already know. In most cases I end up reverting to searching the manuals and source code. I like the idea of texshow-web and I sometimes add notes to entries if I find our something interesting. I would be quite happy to add lots more, but I have some questions and suggestions for improvements which I think would help. 1) Is there a way of adding a function to the list? or can it be updated to include all the functions from the many macro packages included with the context distribution. For example, in recent discussion group threads I have found out about the \digits command and the \filename and \hyphenatedfilename commands, none of which is in texshow-web. I would have been happy to add notes on them if I could. 2) If I'm adding notes to a command, is it possible to add a URL link to a particular page in one of the manuals? This would great for looking up a command and going straight to the relevant entry in the relevant manual. Regards, Richard Stephens
