Keeping up-to-date under TeXLive
by Joel C. Salomon 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

My new Ubuntu installation includes TeXLive version 2007-10. Is there a way for me to keep the ConTeXt part of this up-to-date with current (stable) versions? Considering that I have XeTeX 0.996, do I want to, or should I stick with what currently works? --Joel

luatex not compiling
by Hans van der Meer 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

There appears to be a problem with the compilation of luatex on MacOSX 10.5.x, but I might have found (at least one of) the cause. On my system (MacOSX10.5.1) complation halted with: luatexextra.c:408 error: storage size of 'sigstk' isn't known. Further exploring showed the cause of this: SIGSTKSZ is not defined. As it turns out SIGSTKSZ is defined in signal.h and in luatexextra.c read with #include <signal.h>, assuming signal.h resides in /usr/include/signal.h. That however, is not the case on this version of MacOSX: it sits in / usr/include/sys/signal.h. Probably changing the code into: #include <signal.h> #ifndef _SIGNAL_H_ #include <sys/signal.h> #endif might help, but I have not tested this (some of the pie should be left for Taco c.s. ;-) Hans van der Meer

xetex/luatex & AUCTeX
by Gour 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Hi! Is it possible to 'teach' AUCTeX to use xetex and/or luatex as TeX engine for ConTeXt? I see entry for Omega, but all the attempts for luatex/xetex do not work :-( Sincerely, Gour

conditionals and font switches
by Idris Samawi Hamid 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Dear gang, Consider a control sequence \MyCS. It has three possible definitions: \def\MyCS{<def1>}, \def\MyCS{<def2>}, \def\MyCS{<def3>} What I would like is to define \MyCS once such that <def1> takes effect when \tf is invoked <def2> takes effect when \it is invoked <def3> takes effect when \bf is invoked something like (incorrect syntax but you'll get the point) \def\MyCS{% \if\it<def1> \else \if\bf<def2> \else <def3>} How can I do this> Any tips greatly appreciated! Happy Holidays!

luatex on x86_64
by Gour 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Hi! I'm sold to luatex and plan to use it exclusively for all ConTeXt typesetting in order to help somewhat with testing it. However, I've some old lyx/latex stuff which needs to be migrated, so I'd prefer to keep my texlive installation for such stuff and having minimal ConTeXt installation to be able to typeset with luatex. There is pretty new PKGBUILd script for Arch Linux and I modified it a bit (see http://tinyurl.com/3yk6vw) in order to built luatex on x86_64. However, I see that build.sh.linux (for i386) and build.sh script differs, and the PKGBUILD created just /opt/texlive/bin/luatex executable. Not having access to i686 (i386) machine, I wonder what else is required to have working luatex installation? The content of /opt/texlive/bin/luatools script is: #!/bin/sh texmfstart luatools.lua "$@" Running "Hello world" example gives: gour@gaura-nitai ~/tmp> texexec --lua test.tex TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file test.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1079 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en the file 'luatools' is not found TeXExec | runtime: 0.308419 Here is the build() function from PKGBUILD: build() { cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver if [ "${CARCH}" = "i686" ]; then cp $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/build.sh.linux $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/build.sh fi ./build.sh --datadir=/opt/texlive || return 1 # Overwrite old files # make $PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/$pkgname-$pkgver install || return 1 install -d $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin if [ "${CARCH}" = "i686" ]; then install -m 755 linux/texk/web2c/luatex $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin else install -m 755 build/texk/web2c/luatex $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin fi } Here are outputs from texexec & luatex: gour@gaura-nitai ~/tmp> texexec --lua test.tex TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file test.top TeXExec | using randomseed 152 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en the file 'luatools' is not found TeXExec | runtime: 0.257507 gour@gaura-nitai ~/tmp> luatex test.tex This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007122417 (Web2C 7.5.6) I can't find the format file `luatex.fmt'! So, something is missing...any pointer for up-to-date doc (url) for installing/updating of minimal ConTeXt/luatex on x86_64 ? Sincerely, Gour

PDF table of contents

Hullo, I wonder how to generate a PDF with the built-in table of contents. I'm thinking in the same line as what 'hyperref' package did in LaTeX.

page numbers in Table of Contents, mismatch
by Saji N Hameed 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Dear ConText gurus, I am faced with a new problem with the page numbering in the Table of Contents. In the appendices, I use: \setuppagenumbering [way=bychapter, chapternumber=yes, numberseparator=-] to get page numbers like A-15, B-24 ... etc However, the page numbers associated with Appendix 1 in the Table of Contents is like 1 Introduction 11 1.1 Goals of Research 11 1.2 Necessity of Research 11 A Real-time Monitoring of Intraseasonal Variations 15 B Drought Monitoring Based on Standardized Precipitation Index 24 I am wondering if there is a way to get ConText to write my TOC as: A Real-time Monitoring of Intraseasonal Variations A-15 B Drought Monitoring Based on Standardized Precipitation Index B-24 My document is structured as follows: \input layout \starttext \startfrontmatter \input HomePage \stopfrontmatter \placelist[chapter,section] \startbodymatter \input Chapter1 \input Chapter2 \stopbodymatter \startappendices \input Appendix1 \input Appendix2 \stopappendices \stoptext Thanks as always, saji -- Saji N.

preview-context
by Gour 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Hi! I've asked on auctex ml about the prospects of getting preview-context, similar to preview-latex and here is the reply: "There are no ConTeXt users among the active developers (actually, there is not even much activity in the LaTeX area, but the status quo is rather more advanced). As long as that does not change, I don't see much of a point to talk vapour." (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.auctex.general/2387) Since I plan to move to ConTeXt using AUCTeX, I'm interested to hear if there is some interest here (amongst emacs users) to have preview-context withing AUCTeX package? otoh, I'm interested if there is newer version of etexshow (Browser for ConTeXt commands) ? Sincerely, Gour
