Persian translation of "Context an excursion"
by Mehdi Omidali 03 Aug '08

03 Aug '08

Hi everyone, I am translating "Context an excursion" to persian and I have a problem in the style. I use MKIV for this translation but navigation tools and metapost pictures are not displayed in the output. I use texlivetest2008 and the latest luatex and mpost from www.luatex.org (but I don't know how to install pascal metapost and maybe that is the problem). Please take a look at www.omidali.com/excursion.rar I have included the fonts that I have used. I run the following command texexec --lua --mode=screen ma.cb Thanks

menu question
by Alan Stone 03 Aug '08

03 Aug '08

Hi, With... \startinteractionmenu[right] \placecontent[..., criterium=chapter (or section), ...] \stopinteractionmenu and chapter/section lists longer than the text area height, how do you prevent the menu items from extending beyond the bottom of the text area (and page) and have the menu scroll down after the menu's bottom chapter/section item ? I tried my luck with distance=\textheight but no luck and don't see any other option which could provide this feature. Thanks, Alan

mkii and xetex with tl2008: invalid fontname errors
by Jesse Alama 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Using XeTeX and ConTeXt MkII with the TeX Live 2008 developer snapshot (as of a few days ago), I run into a bunch of "invalid fontname" errors when compiling some documents: $ texmfstart texexec --xtx file.tex TeXExec | processing document 'file.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file file.top TeXExec | using randomseed 518 TeXExec | tex engine: xetex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is XeTeXk, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.2 (Web2C 7.5.7) %&-line parsing enabled. entering extended mode (./file.tex ConTeXt ver: 2008.07.14 18:07 MKII fmt: 2008.7.15 int: english/english [snip] kpathsea: Invalid fontname `texgyrepagella-italic:+liga;+kern;mapping=tlig;+trep;', contains ':' kpathsea: Invalid fontname `texgyrepagella-italic:+liga;+kern;mapping=tlig;+trep;', contains ':' kpathsea: Invalid fontname `texgyrepagella-italic:+liga;+kern;mapping=tlig;+trep;', contains ':' kpathsea: Invalid fontname `texgyrepagella-italic:+liga;+kern;mapping=tlig;+trep;', contains ':' kpathsea: Invalid fontname `texgyrepagella-italic:+liga;+kern;mapping=tlig;+trep;', contains ':' kpathsea: Invalid fontname `texgyrepagella-bolditalic:+liga;+kern;mapping=tlig;+trep;', contains ':' kpathsea: Invalid fontname `texgyrepagella-bolditalic:+liga;+kern;mapping=tlig;+trep;', contains ':' [many more errors like that] Any idea what might be going on?

endnotes and navigation
by Gerben Wierda 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

I am using endnotes and footnotes. Is it possible to add navigation to these, that is, when I am reading the PDF file I can click on a endnote number, go to the endnote and when I click on the endnote number there I get transported back to the location where it was used? G

Re: [NTG-context] Error when calling \placecontent from product

Thanks, Hans and Wolfgang. On 2008-08-01 15:12 +100, Wolfgang Schuster wrote: > Delete the temporyry files and remove "../" from "\environment ../env- > test" > in prd-test.tex. Spotted that on closer inspection. Pesky typos! Also realised I was using square brackets with \startenvironment which is not permitted. I should pay more attention ;-) Elliot

list bug when using margin?
by Gerben Wierda 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

The following list \startitemize[n,packed,joinedup] \item A is larger than B. \item B is larger than C. \item Therefore, A is larger than C. \stopitemize displays fine except it is not indented. So I added: \startitemize[n,packed,joinedup,margin=4em] \item A is larger than B. \item B is larger than C. \item Therefore, A is larger than C. \stopitemize and as a result, the list was not enumerated and it was not packed or joined up. Bug? Or misunderstanding? G

Thanks Wolfgang, On 2008-07-31 11:38 +100 Wolfgang Schuster >\def\dostartArticle[#1]% >{\getparameters[my][title=,#1]% >\expanded{\chapter{\mytitle}}} I have tried wrapping the call to \chapter in \expanded. Hans, also suggested that here: www.ntg.nl/maps/20/12.pdf Unfortunately doesn't seem to work. I think the problem occurs in the final run of TeXexec, whilst finalising the ToC. Is it something to do with the .tuo file? systems : begin file prd-test at line 1 systems : begin file ../env-test at line 2 systems : end file ../env-test at line 2 (./prd-test.tuo ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \mytitle \listtextcommand #1->\begstrut #1 \endstrut \doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4 }\dostopattributes <argument> ...ont \limitatedlistentry {\mytitle }} \egroup \ifdim \wd 4=\zero... \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \dosomelistelement ...hss \dostoplistattributes }} \endgraf \nointerlineskip ... ... l.30 ...}{1}{1}{\mytitle }{2--0-1-0-0-0-0-0--1}{1} Just to be clear, \mytitle is defined by \getparameters in my environment file -- 'env-test'. The product 'prd-test' includes the component 'cmp-test'. The problem only occurs when ConTeX tries to build the product, not the component. What is it about the relationship between the product and component that cuases the trouble? Regards, Elliot

xml mapping on the fly - revisit
by Johannes Graumann 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hello, I while ago (http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080214.090451.b23da5b9.en.html) I asked whether the creation of a xml mapping tag was possible using mark V. I'm about to revisit this after some long absence and would like to know whether there's anything new and nifty which might help achieving this. Thanks for your hints, Joh
