old-style numerals and .
by Jesse Alama 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

I tried switching to nice old-style numerals for a table of contents, and found to my chagrin that the periods in the numbers, such as the "." in "2.3", get typeset as triangles. You can see the result (verified on the live context in the garden) with \starttext {\os 2.3} \stoptext What's going on? How can I get periods rather than triangles? Thanks, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu)

bib module and pdftex 1.40.7: Virtual memory exhausted using MiKTeX-2.7

Consider the trivial test file: ------------------------------------- % example from: <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography> % Format using: % $ texexec --once t-cont % $ bibtex t-cont % $ texexec t-cont \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=xampl] \starttext As \cite[article-full] already indicated, bibtex is a \LaTeX-centric program. \completepublications \stoptext ------------------------------------- Following instructions: ------------------------------------- > texexec --once bibdemo TeXExec | processing document 'bibdemo' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | writing option file bibdemo.top TeXExec | using randomseed 595 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.7 (MiKTeX 2.7) entering extended mode (bibdemo.tex ConTeXt ver: 2008.01.28 21:28 MKII fmt: 2008.2.18 int: english/english [....] Output written on bibdemo.pdf (2 pages, 42919 bytes).

Simple LaTeX documents and ConTeXt documents that don't use the bib module don't give the error, so it looks like the bib module reveals a bug in pdftex-1.40.n, for some n larger than 3. -- George N.

MKII font-chi.tex bug fix
by Yue Wang 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi, there I am still using MKII to do Chinese typesetting. As I mentioned before, User should use this in their source files to produce correct spaces between the chinese characters and english words 中文English\ 中文 instead of 中文 English 中文 or 中文English中文 which is quite annoying. In order to remove this constraint, here is what I have found out: Uncomment line 248 and line 267 of font-chi.tex will do. --- font-chi.tex.orig 2008-02-23 11:32:55.000000000 +0800 +++ font-chi.tex 2008-02-23 11:30:48.000000000 +0800 @@ -245,7 +245,6 @@ \insertchineseglyph \ifcase\chineseAstatus\relax \hskip\chineseinterglyphskip % unknown - \hskip\chinesesurroundskip \ifcase\chineseSstatus \hskip\chineseSsignal \or @@ -264,7 +263,6 @@ \hskip\chineseRsignal \or \hskip\chineseinterglyphskip % space - \hskip\chinesesurroundskip \hskip\chineseSsignal \fi \or % left This patch works pretty good on most of the cases if you use 中文 English 中文. however, 中文English中文 makes no space between chinese and English. and changing the \chinesesurroundskip will only affect the space after English. But it works now. I hope this information helpful. Maybe ConTeXt experts can make more improvements in the future and test from ConTeXt users are helpful. Yue Wang

bug in typeset table in Chinese
by Yue Wang 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi, I find that ConTeXt fails to typeset Chinese table right. Here is the TeX source: \enableregime[utf] \usemodule[units] \usemodule[chinese] \starttext \placetable[here][]{通風模式} \starttable[|c|c|c|] \NC 時間 \NC 通風模式 \NC 室內源 \NC\SR \HL \NC 0:00-8:00 \NC 自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 無 \NC\FR \NC 8:00-18:00 \NC 機械通風 $n=5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 打印機每小時的起始十分鐘工作\NC\MR \NC 18:00-24:00 \NC 自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 無 \NC\LR \stoptable \stoptext If everything in the table is English then ConTeXt typeset it right. but in this table all the chinese are aligned left, not centered.

c-code
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hallo, some times ago, I tried to use the module 'verb-c' but something like the following didn't work: \usemodule[verb-c] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startC "*\0" \stopC \stoptext Wolfgang Schuster told me, not to use 'verb-c' and to use for example: \setupcolors[state=start] \definetyping[C][option=C] \starttext \startC "*\0" \stopC \stoptext The problematic C-code is typeset ok here, but the colorscheme used, doesn't fit to C-code rather to TeX-Code. How can this be changed? Wolfgang

t-inifile, my first experience with lua
by Peter Münster 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hello, Hey, it's really fun to code in lua: pattern matching, easy table manipulation and so on, I should have learned it earlier! Since it's my first experience with lua, I would like to ask you for comments on the t-inifile.tex module, attached to this message. I tried to implement a demo-mode, but there are two small problems: - I don't know how to use \savebuffer, all line-endings disappear in the saved file - the utf-thinspace is ignored Cheers and thanks a lot to the luatex and MKIV developers!

Hi Wolfgang, > You should use the right command for this purpose. > > \startfiguretext > {none} > {\blackrule[height=\textheight,width=.5\textwidth]} > \startlines > Sie sprach: > \quotation{Das ist > ein Test.} > \stoplines > \stopfiguretext Yes, that works. But why is my example wrong? It's more or less stolen from <It's in the details>. Wolfgang

References title in Norwegian
by Trond Lossius 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

Hi, I'm writing a publication in Norwegian containing citations and references. I use \completepublications[criterium=all] at the end of the tex file to get the references. The only problem is that the title of it when typeset show up as "References" in English. Is it possible somehow to substitute that for the Norwgeian equivalent "Litteratur"? I'm using the MacTex distro from http://www.tug.org/mactex/ Thanks a lot, Trond
