Changing sections, formula,... numbering order
by Mehdi Omidali 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi everyone, I want to use context+xetex for right-to-left typesetting and need to know if it is possible to use the command \pagedir TRT in this situation. (I tested that apparently only \pardir TRT is active). If the answer of the above question is negative I would like to know how can I change numbering direction of sections, formulas, etc. Thanks

SciTE in ConTeXt setup
by Alan Stone 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi, I've switched from Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition) running from within Windows XP + VirtualBox to a stand-alone Ubuntu installation. Installed - ConTeXt minimals in /opt/context - SciTE through the Synaptic Package Manager, and followed the "SciTE in ConTeXt" manual instructions : * Re. §2: Installing SciTE Copied - /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/context/data/*.properties files and - /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/scite-ctx.lua to /usr/share/scite Then - included the line 'import context.properties' at the end of /home/(username)/.SciTEUser.properties * Re: §3: The TeX lexer Put context.properties in the same path as SciTEUser.properties - and to add import context.properties ( instead of import context - see pg 4 ): done already in the previous step FYI, doing so, context.properties is then in /usr/share/scite *and* /home/(username) !? Launching SciTE from a terminal window... Setting "/opt/context/tex" as TEXROOT.

Installing Scite
by dwarnold45＠suddenlink.net 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

All, I have Miktex installed. Downloaded and installed: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip to c:\context. When I run startupcontext.bat (contains the setuptex.bat command), I can compile at the dos prompt with either context sscon.tex or texmfstart texexec sccon.tex. Download and extracted: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scintilla/wscite176.zip?download to c:\wscite Dragged over the *.properties files to c:\wscite. On the last line of SciTEGlobal.properties, I added the line "import context". Testfile sscon.tex: \starttext Hello, World!" \stoptext Hitting Ctrl+F7 to compile gives this error: >texmfstart concheck sccon.tex >The system cannot find the file specified. That concheck does not look correct. Hitting F7 to build gives this error: >texmfstart texexec --autopdf --pdf sccon.tex >The system cannot find the file specified. How am I going to get Scite to find this location? D.

Minimal Windows install
by dwarnold45＠suddenlink.net 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

All, I've installed Miktex, the latest version. Then I installed Minimal Context following directions on: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals Namely: Download and unzip context-setup-mswin.zip Run first-setup.bat, go for a coffee. Ran the setuptex.bat as descibed. NOw I have this metapost file: input mp-tool; beginfig(1); numeric u; 10u=4in; drawdblarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0); drawdblarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u); label.rt(btex $x$ etex, (5u,0)); label.top(btex $\phi$ etex, (0,5u)); pair A, B, C; A:=(0,0) scaled u; B:=(5,5) scaled u; C:=(5,0) scaled u; drawdblarrow B--A--C; draw anglebetween(B--A,C--A,btex $\theta$ etex); endfig; end. When I compile it: C:\temp>texmfstart texexec --mpgraphic jack.mp I get the strangest result. See: http://online.redwoods.edu/instruct/darnold/jack.pdf Bug?

Re: [NTG-context] Miktex still broken
by Peter Wüsten 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

> The context in Miktex is still broken. Has anyone got experience > installing the standalone version of context on windows alongside > Miktex? As I have quite some legacy LaTeX-files I have Miktex 2.7, standalone Context, and a Context minimals installation on my system. They co-exist nicely on my system: Rather than pointing my path environment variable to any of those installations permanently I use batch-files to initialize whatever system I'd like to work with. These are the batch files I use; your paths will vary: - for running Miktex: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REM setupmiktex.bat @echo off set PATH=C:\Programme\MiKTeX\2.7\miktex\bin;%PATH% "C:\Programme\PSPad editor\PSPad.exe" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - for running the ConTeXt maximals (aka ConTeXt standalone): ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REM cstart.bat @echo off usr\local\context\cscite.bat usr\local\context ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - for running the minimals: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REM setupminimals.bat @ECHO OFF E:\programme\contextminimal\context\tex\setuptex.bat E:\programme\contextminimal\context\tex ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ you'll also have to add a line at the bottom of setuptex.bat, under :done call c:\ruby\scite\scite.exe or whatever editor you use. > And one specific question, will the mptopdf command work in this dual > installation? I think so; at least running "mptopdf -v" from a console window invoked from the editor made mptopdf tell me there was no file called '-v' to process ;-) Cheers, Peter

different layout in the table of content
by Eric DÉTREZ 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

hello I wish to show le numeration differently. if a is the chapter number, b the section number and c the subsubsection chapter number, I write a.bc. L. Cheno showed me how to do this in the head number : ***************************** \def\Numeros#1.#2.#3{{#1}.{#2}{#3}} \def\CNumeros#1#2{\expandafter\Numeros\currentheadnumber\ {#2}} \setuphead[subsection][command=\CNumero] ***************************** Unfortunately this doesn't work in the table of contents. How can we change the look of the numeration in the toc ?

\setuptolerance and vertical spacing
by Olivier Guéry 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hello, I'm still trying to play with pdf for my Sony e-reader. So, I need to setup \setuptolerance It work's great for the horizontal tolerance but I can't understand anything about the vertical one :-p It seems that I can't do anything to force page cutting after hyphenate at the end of the last line. I tried fine setting with \widowpenalty, \brokenpenalty, \clubpenalty 'et al' from the « style » documentation at pragma but no effects. In the documentation I read that I can't use \setuptolerance for both vertical and horizontal. Is it still true ? (I tried, of course ! No effects). Best, Olivier. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] http://nemolivier.blogspot.com
