All, Does anyone have any experience embedding Quicktime or other movies in Context? Either in the document itself or simply a URL that will play the movie in the the user's system player? Can anyone supply some sample code snippets? Appreciated. David Arnold http://online.redwoods.edu/instruct/darnold

Bibliography and luatex
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi all, Using luatex from the minimals at minimals.contextgarden.net (linux), I am unable to have bibtex working: here is a minimal example: .............................. \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex [database=/home/jean/BIB/biblio.bib] \setuppublications[] \setuppublicationlist[] \setupcite[] \starttext Bonjour de luatex! \blank LUA \cite[year][destv] \startlua a = 1.5 b = 1.8 c = a*b tex.print(c) \stoplua \completepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext .............................. I see this in the messages: "publications : warning: cite argument destv is unknown on 139" pdftex and xetex engines find it without problem. What did I miss? -- Jean

2 further unix stubs
by Peter Münster 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Hello, What about these 2 new stubs: stubs/unix/texmfstart: #!/bin/sh script=$(dirname $0)/../../ruby/texmfstart.rb exec $script "$@" # (or exec ruby $script "$@") stubs/unix/texsync: #!/bin/sh texmfstart texsync.rb "$@" # (Or is texsync now obsolete and replaced by another script?)

Hi, There is something wrong with the mappings for zapf chancery in mkiv. Minimal example \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \definetypeface [mainface] [rm][serif][pagella][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [cg][calligraphy][chancery][default] [encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont [mainface,10pt] \starttext \cg test \stoptext Gives This went wrong: /home/adityam/texmf/tex/context/base/font-tfm.lua:141: attempt to index local 'tfmdata' (a nil value) error >> define font: font with name texgyrechorus-regular is not found. <to be read again> \relax \xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \fontstrategy ...me \fontclass #2#3#4#5\endcsname \tryingfontfalse \fi <inserted text> ...yle \fontalternative \fontsize \fi \iftryingfont \fontstr... \synchronizefont ...strategy \the \fontstrategies \relax \fi \iftryingfont \... l.9 \cg test ? r OK, entering \nonstopmode... !

Only texgyrechorus-italicmedium.otf is availabe from tex-gyre website. But context is looking for texgyrechorus-regular and cannot find it. The same file works with mkii. Aditya

context stub
by Peter Münster 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hello, Shouldn't the script scripts/context/lua/context be rather in scripts/context/stubs/unix/ ? And it seems, that "mtxrun --script context file" does not work, the option "--run" is needed. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

ConTeXt on Ubuntu
by Joel C. Salomon 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Has anyone had success running ConTeXt as packaged with Ubuntu? I can't get texexec --lua to find the ConTeXt format files, nor can I figure out how to generate the format files for luatex. XeTeX is similarly flaky. I'm running Ubuntu Hardy alpha in hopes of getting more up-to-date packages; is this a vain hope? --Joel

multi-page table numbering
by Santy, Michael 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hello, By default, ConTeXt numbers the table on each page in a multi-page table with a different number (e.g., 1a, 1b, 1c for a three page table). I don't see this as a problem except for that each page of a multi-page table will be called out in the list of tables. Does anybody know how suppress the printing of each page of a multi-page table in the list of tables? Cheers, Mike
