Hi Taco, > I can remove that line, it is misleading. The content of the > log file is in <result>.log What do you mean with <result>? There is only ONE log file and that is tst10.log (the log file of the tst10.tex which runs the above code). Wolfgang

Maybe the strange behaviour of mplib is related to this. Wolfgang

acroread and reload a PDF
by Suno Ano 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

I am on DebianGNU/Linux using acroread. Anytime I make a change to some Context source and compile it into PDF I want to view the result i.e. reload the already opened PDF. Same as with Firefox/Iceweasel and some HTML page I work on i.e. hitting C-R reloads the page for viewing. With xpdf I just hit R and the file (which changed on the disk) gets reloaded. Am I right that acroread lacks a reload feature? Reopening a document anytime it changed totally sucks ...

Bug in mkiv
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

Hi Hans and Taco, Mkiv does not like \{ .. \} in the text input, it thinks that they should be in math mode. For example, \starttext I need \{ braces \} \stoptext gives ! Missing $ inserted. <inserted text> $ <to be read again> \odelimiter \lbrace ->\odelimiter "4020066"030008 l.2 I need \{ braces \} ? Aditya

ONE upright beta, please!
by Steffen Wolfrum 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Hi, my whole project is set in Times without problems - except at one spot there is a "beta" needed. Just this single time! But, unfortunately, I only get it italic: \starttext \usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \enableregime[utf] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt] $\beta$ β% same in unicode \stoptext For it is just this one character, used one single time, I don't feel encouraged to start messing around with typescripts. Someone can give me a quick(-and-dirty) advice?? Thank, Steffen

whizzytex for ConTeXt?
by Suno Ano 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

I use AucTeX with Emacs to write ConTeXt documents. Whizzytex is an GNU Emacs minor mode. Can I use whizzytex with ConTeXt as well or is it just usable with LaTeX? http://pauillac.inria.fr/cdrom/www/whizzytex/index.html
