Sumary of current versions of Context
by John Culleton 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

I am becoming bewildered by the multiple versions of Context now being discussed. For some years now I have used Context for complex layouts with tables and so on. The texlive version works OK for me. But now I see. mkii mkiv XeTeX Luatex etc. etc. So what is the target audience for each of these branches? And what branch is best for me to keep track of for creating non-fiction books in English? And what is it called when I need to find and download it? I suspect mkii is the branch intended for lowly folk like me but confirmation would be comforting. Currently I run (per texexec --version): /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux/texmfstart:1838: /usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/base/system.rb:16: TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD -- John Culleton Precision Typesetting Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com __________________________________________________ D O T E A S Y - "Join the web hosting revolution!" http://www.doteasy.com

Hi, When I use \bookmark[chapter]{Some bookmark} the bookmark appears twice in the list of bookmarks but the bookmark also appears twice in the Table of Contents.

Nested XML environments with MkIV
by Wolfgang Schuster 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

Hi, I tried to get the following example with ConTeXt's old XML macros in MkII with the new setup mechanism from MkIV. \defineXMLenvironment [section] {Section:\par} {} \defineXMLenvironment [p] \par \par \startbuffer <section> <p>text text</p> <section> <p>text text</p> </section> <p>text text</p> </section> \stopbuffer \starttext \processXMLbuffer \stoptext My code for MkIV looks like: \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{section}{xml:section} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{p}{xml:paragraph} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:paragraph \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:section Section:\par \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startbuffer[section] <section> <p>text text</p> <section> <p>text text</p> </section> <p>text text</p> </section> \stopbuffer \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{section}{} \stoptext What I want is to insert or execute a macro at the begin of every new section environment (I used the text "Section:") and this work fine with XML definition but not with setups, only the first envionment is executed and the rest is only read and flushed.

XeTeX vs. luatex
by Gour 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

Hi! After moving to emacs I decided to settle on ConTeXt markup and want to use Unicode engine. Luatex is advancing very nicely and I wonder is there any reason to use XeTeX over luatex, i.e. what features are missing (if any) in regards to regarding font-handling in luatex in comparison with XeTeX? Sincerely, Gour

spacing problem with mvs sybols
by Gour 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

Hi! I'm using muse for writing some astrological notes while studying and noticed there is problem with spacing after using symbols from 'mvs'. Here is the test file: \usesymbols[mvs] \setupsymbolset [astronomic] \setupsymbolset [zodiac] \starttext This is Mesha \symbol[Aries] and this \symbol[Cancer] is Kataka. Let's see \symbol[Sun] too. \stoptext Am I doing something wrong here? I tried with both mkii and mkiv, but the result is the same. Sincerely, Gour

Indenting (again!): a real problem in indentnext=yes
by morgan.brassel＠free.fr 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi, Sorry but I'm going to talk about indenting again. This time, it seems to me that there is really something wrong with the indentnext=yes option. Look at the following example, it speaks for itself (or at least I hope so). \setupindenting[yes,medium] \setupformulae[indentnext=yes] \starttext This is my first formula: \startformula x = 1, \stopformula and this line should not be indented because it's still in the same sentence. There is no line skip in the source file, and no new paragraph created. This is my second formula: \startformula x = 2. \stopformula This line has to be indented (and it is!), as this is truely a new paragraph. \stoptext The option indentnext=yes does not handle properly the first situation. What do you think? Thanks for your answers, and sorry to bother you again and again! Morgan

Re: [NTG-context] Using Postscript Type 1 fonts in ConTeXt/XeTeX?
by Roland 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi Mojca, Thanks for your two answers. I guess updating my distribution is the first priority--perhaps that is causing all the errors I just posted in answer to Wolfgang's suggestion. I'll try your suggestion and then see if it works, will confirm to the mailing list once I know. Thanks Roland PS Is it always necessary to upgrade a fresh distribution immediately? I am a bit surprised that a fresh MacTex from December would already be so outdated...
