ConTeXt Package for Notepad++ v. 5.0.3
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Dear gang, I have uploaded the latest version of the ConTeXt support package for Notepad++. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Npp_ConTeXt.zip It has been updated to 5.0.3, the latest stable version. The main difference in the package is the new autocompletion file format. See context.xml. I have also included the Explorer plugin and the latest NppExec plugin (2.4) -- the NppExec that comes with 5.0.3 is just slightly out of date (2.4 RC1). Npp now supports calltips. I was thinking of adding them to context.xml but it would be very time-consuming. Basically, when typing a context command you would get a little window giving you some info about that command if you want it. I may make some suggestions to the Npp team to make this feature more useful. Anyway, Npp keeps getting better and better. It recently won the SourceForge's Community Choice Awards for Best Tool or Utility for Developers: http://ostatic.com/169634-blog/sourceforges-community-choice-awards-winners… There are just a few more things Npp could use to make this a near-perfect ConTeXt editor, I'll bug the developers soon... Npp can now use external lexers. Eventually I would like to translate the ConTeXt syntax setup to a lexer so we can add a bit more flexibility. Lexer development is way beyond my skills at the moment but if anyone is interested in contributing to this I'd be happy for the help. F7 will repeat the last script executed by F6. So it behaves differently than F7 in Hans' Scite setup (Build). I use NppExec instead of Run anyway. In the next version, I may deprecate the Run menu commands and attach the shortcuts to the NppExec scripts; I think there is even a way to then may a menu of these NppExec shortcuts. This will allow for easier tweaking and experimenting by users, and also updating when Hans changes things ;-) The startstop module is still included, though Hans has just added support for footnote etc environments so that part of the module can be commented out. For mkiv a new sectioning mechanism is on the way, and mkii users can still use Wolfgang's module. See startstop.tex. The original instructions are here: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070813.050137.7a5796f0.en.html Enjoy!

Miktex still broken
by David Arnold 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

All, The context in Miktex is still broken. Has anyone got experience installing the standalone version of context on windows alongside Miktex? And one specific question, will the mptopdf command work in this dual installation? Thanks.

Line under footer

Hi there! I managed to draw a line under my footer (with the help of this mailing list, of course ;) ), but how can I change its thickness? This doesn't seem to work: \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][frame=off, bottomframe=on, height=0pt, depth=3pt] Same effect with this one: \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][frame=off, bottomframe=on, height=3pt] Regards, Eyke

Place for exercises and solutions
by batela 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Dear Sirs, I'm writing a chemical book and I want include some exercises in the end of each chapter. In the source file the solutions are placed after the related exercise. In the .pdf file the exercises should be located at end of each chapter, but the solutions should appear in the end of the book. Did anybody has a similar implementation? Thanks a lot Jorge Magalhães Abraços, Jorge Manuel de Almeida Magalhães

grouped sections and footnotes
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi Hans, I am using a module -- non-distributed as far as I know -- created by Wolfgang. It provides grouped sectioning and footnotes: ====startstop-t.tex====== \unprotect \def\????se{@@@@se} \def\definegroupedsection[#1]% {\setvalue{\e!start#1}[##1]% {\getparameters[\????se#1][\c!ref=,\c!title=,##1]% \getvalue{#1}[\getvalue{\????se#1\c!ref}]{\getvalue{\????se#1\c!title}}} \setvalue{\e!stop#1}{\relax}} \def\definegroupednote[#1]% {\edef\currentnote{#1}% \def\dostartcurrentnote[##1][##2]{\setnote[##1][##2]\bgroup\ignorespaces}% \setvalue{\e!start\currentnote}{\dodoubleempty\dostartcurrentnote[#1]}% \setvalue{\e!stop\currentnote}{\removeunwantedspaces\egroup\noteparameter\c!next}} \definegroupedsection[title] \definegroupedsection[chapter] \definegroupedsection[section] \definegroupedsection[subsection] \definegroupedsection[subsubsection] \definegroupednote [footnote] \setupfootnotes[next=\autoinsertnextspace] \protect \starttext \starttitle[title=Title] \stoptitle \startchapter[title=Chapter] \startsection[title=Section] \input knuth Text \startfootnote[nabiyy] A footnote \stopfootnote text \startsubsection[title=Subsection] Text \startfootnote A footnote. See \in{footnote}[nabiyy] \stopfootnote text \startsubsubsection[title=Subsubsection] Text \startfootnote A footnote \stopfootnote text \stopsubsubsection \stopsubsection \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext ========================= Question: a) Have you added support for grouped sectioning and footnotes in mkiv yet? b) Does the above code seem safe for mkiv? c) (For Wolfgang:) Has the above code been updated or extended etc. yet? For long documents this kind of grouping has become indispensable (easy code-folding etc.) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
