a question about ConTeXt + AUCTeX
by Dalyoung Jeong 15 May '08

15 May '08

Dear all, Recently I installed Aquamacs Emacs which is nicely working. And I also found AUCTeX macros in the wiki. Since I am a newbie to AUCTeX, I don't know how to apply such codes to Aquamacs. Would someone tell me how to do that? When I choose PDFConTeXt-en>command > ConTeXt, it runs with the command "texexec --once --pdf ...". Is there any way to change it to "texmfstart texexec ..."? Thank you. Dalyoung Jeong

Uppercase ssharp with XeTeX and LuaTeX
by Wolfgang Schuster 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi, is there a solution for ssharp with XeTeX and LuaTeX, I have a word with a ß in it which I convert into uppercase letters and the ß remains a lowercase characters. This was no problem in the past with pdfTeX because it contained a SS character for this problem and the output is what I want but I have no solution for the other two engines. \starttext \WORD{Grußwort} \stoptext Greetings Wolfgang

Alignment of Itemize
by cidadaum＠sapo.pt 15 May '08

15 May '08

I have put this in my source file: \startitemize[R][4*broad,stopper=---] And in the output the m rule (---) was overlapped by the roman numeral. By the way I would like to align the roman numeral to the right more or less like this (it is difficult to do in text format) I --- blablablablablablabla II --- blablablablablablabla III --- blablablablablablabla IV --- blablablablablablabla VIII --- blablablablablablabla Thank you very much for your help Armando

Greetings! I am trying to typeset some transliterated Arabic and one of the diacritical marks is giving me a problem. How does one put what looks like a breve accent (a cup or concave arc) under an letter in ConTeXT? Cheers, Alan

And is there any way how to get in the first line \min_{x \in X} with the parameter exactly below the "min"? Because in this solution the parameter {x \in X} is on the right bottom, like in a line.

Hi, I need to use a multieqaution in this form ( http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/2372/eqsx3.png ). I am mostly interested in the right brace and the indentation after the "subject to". I tried to use mathmatrix but without success. Can you help me with it? Thanks Czenek

Hi, last mail for today. i run into this while testing one of my gfx. % engine=luatex \starttext \startMPcode begingroup boolean t; t:= false; if t: fill fullsquare xyscaled(2cm,2cm); else: fill fullcircle scaled 2cm; fi% some close comment endgroup; \stopMPcode \stoptext [..] report >> mp terminal: >> fiendgroup ! Isolated expression. <to be read again> ; <*> ...se: fill fullcircle scaled 2cm; fiendgroup; ; report >> mp error: unknown, no error, terminal or log messages mh, bug or feature? is this still metapost and not tex? maybe a side effect of the merge ;) Peter

avoid resetting of partnumber in appendix
by Suno Ano 13 May '08

13 May '08

How can I avoid that resetting of the partnumber within the appendices? For example, I have ,----[ Example ] | \starttext | \part{My First Part within Text} | \part{My Second Part within Text} | | \startappendices | \part{My First Part within the Appendix} | | \stopappendices | \stoptext `---- Since I used `resetnumber=no' with `\setuphead[part][...]' \part{My First Part within Text} becomes part 1 and \part{My Second Part within Text} becomes part 2 in the table of contents ... just what I want. Now, I would like to become \part{My First Part within the Appendix} part 3 in the Table of Contents instead of being reset to number 1 again. How do I do this?
