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 25 Dec '07

25 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

Chemistry in lists
by Shen Chen 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Hi all, I have some chemical formulae in chapter heading and figure captions, typeset with the chemic module. The chemic module always uses roman font as desired. When I include them in table of contents and list of figures, the chemical formulae appears in math italic font instead of roman font. See the following code for example. Chemic Manual mentioned using \rm but it doesn't seem to be the case. $\rm H_2O$ works fine in the list, but not \chemical{H_2O}. Any suggestions? Thank you. \usemodule[chemic] \starttext \writetolist[chapter]{}{ABC} \writetolist[chapter]{}{$H_2O$} \writetolist[chapter]{}{$\rm H_2O$} \writetolist[chapter]{}{\chemical{H_2O}} \completecontent \stoptext Regards, shenchen
