Numbered bookmarks in PDF
by B. Tommy Jensen 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

I am struggling a bit with numbered bookmarks in PDF files. In LaTex, the HyperRef package supports the option "bookmarksnumbered = true" which adds the chapter numbers to the bookmark list. Does anybody know of a similar option in ConText? I have searched the \setupinteraction documentation, but haven't been able to locate anything useful. All hints are welcome! Best regards, Tommy Jensen

A small bug in context/tex/setuptex
by Vasile Gaburici 27 Aug '08

OWNPATH does not work properly because $0 does not do what you think when a file is sourced. See: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/1999-02/msg00687.html

ConTeXt an excursion — now in the CTK library
by Matija Šuklje 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hullo, I'm happy to announce that I took a printed copy of "ConTeXt an excursion" to the CTK [Central Technical Library] library in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The librarian was at first shocked that someone donated a book to them, but then handled the case pretty well. It turned out she was quite familiar with LaTeX already and all its faults, so she found interest in reading the given book right after she processes it and adds it to the shelf. I hope the book catches on in the library and ConTeXt gains a bit of recognition that way as well...

mswintex.zip versus mswincontext.zip
by David Arnold 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hans et al, For our students, I need to have Miktex and at least one of these distributions (mswintex.zip or mswincontext.zip) coexisting side by side. I've got Miktex installed and working with the Texniccener IDE for student use. Now, I need to get context and metapost working properly (no longer any mptopdf in the Miktex distro). Students don't deal well with DOS boxes and terminals at first (they can grow into them), so what I need is a scite icon on the desktop, that when clicked, will open and work (for context and metapost). I had already loaded mswintex.zip on each machine in our lab, run first-setup.bat. I also installed Scite by downloading from the scintilla site. I finally figured out that you need to import context in the Globals, though (the http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ mscite-p.pdf said it should work in user as well, which I could not get to work. So, as I understand it now, the difference is the mswincontext.zip comes with perl and ruby, but we already have perl and ruby installed. If I get rid of the gems (how?) then I should be able to make progress? What I need is students to have both scite and texniccenter running at the same time. What are my best options? Thanks. D.

disturbing the hyphenation mechanism

Hi, please have a look at the following – the "wondering" doesn't brake anymore thanks to the "kern": \starttext \showframe \enableregime[utf] blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla blabla blablabla „{\kern-0.025em}wondering \stoptext I have read an e-mail by Hans from 2003 when he said "well, it's just like that". But time has passed. Is there a solution today in MkIV or even in MkII ? Thank you, Steffen

no star in itemize with luatex
by Mikael Persson 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hello, running the file %%% \starttext \startitemize[3] \item Hello world! \stopitemize \stoptext %%% in luatex, I did expect to get a star and then Hello world! However, I got something like \perp instead of the star. It works with pdftex. I also tried with some other fonts with same failing result. I run the latest minimal context and also tried this at the contextgarden with the same result. Any solutions around? Best wishes, Mikael

ConTeXt Minimals on Mac
by Alan Bowen 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

I have installed the Context Minimals following the newbie instructions on the wiki at contextgarden for Mac users. The instructions themselves are clear but should perhaps be updated: • the file originally downloaded is first-setup.sh not first-setup.tsh • to execute this file run ./first-setup.sh not first-setup.sh (at least, the former worked and did not return a “command not found” message). I also configured TeXShop as instructed. But now when I try to typeset a file, I get the error message: Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine does not have the executable bit set. How can I fix this? Alan Note: I am running Mac OS X 10.5.4.

Hi, Win XP - ConTeXt minimal: ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.18 14:00 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.22 int: english/english What has changed with the \reference and/or \goto(box) commands ? I'm getting fatal compile errors related to these while there weren't none previously ( that was under Linux, but shouldn't make any difference ). Thanks, Alan

Hi, I tried to find a tfm file, so I typed in ~$ mtxrun --locate texnansi-demofont.tfm and I got ...k/TeX/context/minimal/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/mtxrun:6898: attempt to index local 'files' (a nil value) what does that mean? Is the syntax I've used correct? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net
