SVG support
by Zeus Gómez Marmolejo 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hi all, I'm working with Inkscape and I would like to embed some figures directly in vector format. How do I do that?? I'm trying this: \externalfigure[system][type=svg][scale=1000] But a "dummy" image appears. Is there any svg support in context?! Regards, Zeus.

stable new-minimals distribution?
by Santy, Michael 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I see on the wiki that there are plans to create a "stable", "beta", and "broken" branches of the new minimals distribution on minimals.contextgarden.net. Is the eventual goal of this to replace the current mechanism for obtaining minimals and cont-tmf as zip files from Pragma? If so, when is this change over set to happen? Cheers, Mike

About the indent after a displayed formula
by Longmin Wang 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Dear all, I found that if a paragraph is ended by a displayed formula, the first line of the next paragraph will not indent. It is a feature or bug? And how do I enable this indent? The following is a very simple example. Please note the second paragraph. \setupindenting[medium, yes] \starttext This is a test file. \startformula x^2+y^2=1. \stopformula This is a test file. This is a test file. \stoptext -- Longmin Wang <longminwang(a)gmail.com> Math.

Placing meaningful footnotes
by Zhichu Chen 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi everybody, Right now I'm writing an article and in the title's block I wanna thank somebody and in the authors' block I wanna display the email addresses. And I want them done with footnotes with "set 2" conversion. When I use =========================================== \definenote[thanks][conversion=set 2] \definenote[email] [conversion=set 2, textstyle=type] =========================================== The footnotes are shown with two areas, one for the \thanks and another for the \email, and they all started with "*" symbol, I mean there're two footnotes noted by star-symbol. I know I can just use \setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2] and do all my job by only using \footnote macro, but it's just of curiosity, can I use those meaningful macros to do continuously numbered footnotes and displayed only one area at the bottom of the page. -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

texexec completion script for zsh
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I just put together a simple completion script for texexec in zsh. Zsh can do some fancy completions with tab. I have written a completion script that gives some command line switches of texexec as part of tab completion in zsh. Here is what the output looks like http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Screenshot-Terminal.png One can go between the different options by pressing tab. The script is at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Adityam#Zsh_completion This is my first attempt to write a zsh completion script. Any feedback is welcome. Aditya

mkiv update
by Hans Hagen 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, there is a new luatex binary; you really need the latest mkiv (i just uploaded a current) with it; the memory footprint of huge fonts is lowered again, but don't expect more savings there (at least not on the short term) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

MkIV on Ubuntu
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I am trying to install mkiv on ubuntu. I installed luatex from Norbert Preinin's Debian sources and used ctxtools --update to get the latest version of ConTeXt. In order to get luatools --generate to work, I needed to TEXMFCACHE and SELFAUTOPARENT environmental variables. After that, format creation seemed to work. ctxtools --contextversion gives CtxTools | context version: 2007.12.11 22:14 (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex) CtxTools | context version: 2007.12.11 22:14 (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex) luatools lmr10.afm gives /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/public/lm/lmr10.afm (which is ok, expcept that there is an extra new line). However, mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=pagella gives MtxRun | unknown script: fonts When I try to compile a simple \starttext hello world \stoptext document with luatex, I get. 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 691 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.1-2007121112 (Web2C 7.5.6) (./test.tex ! LuaTeX error cannot open : No such file or directory. <inserted text> ...stance,"luat-env.lua","tex")) } \ctxlua {if not lua.byteda... <everyjob> \the \everyloadluacode \the \everyfinalizeluacode \the \everyjob l.1 \starttext This is strange. Because locate luat-env.lua gives /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua and kpsewhich luat-env.lua gives /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua I do not undestand what is happening. Any suggestions? Aditya

defining a command
by Roger Mason 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hello, I have this definition: \def\oneplot#1#2#3% {\placefigure [here][#3] {\bfc #2} {\hfil \scale[width=10.5cm]{#1} \hfil} } (It is modified from an example on the wiki that takes only the first two arguments). I use it like this: \oneplot % image % caption % reference {\externalfigure[Fluorita_green]} {Fluorite cleavage} {cleavage} but the reference is ignored and I get ?? in the compiled document. Could someone point out my error please? Cheers, Roger

hyphenation again (mkii)
by Steffen Wolfrum 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, please have a look at the following minimal (4 text-lines): \hyphenation{Er-gän-zungs-lie-fe-rung} \showframe \starttext Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 26.\,Ergänzungslieferung% this should brake after Ergän- Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 26.|\,|Ergänzungslieferung% this does brake after Ergän- Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 26.|\,|Ergänzungslieferung% this should NOT brake after 26. Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 26.\,Ergänzungslieferung% this does NOT brake after 26. \stoptext I need a thinspace that prevents line-break between "26." and "Ergänzungslieferung". On the other hand this thinspace shouldn't kill my hyphenation points (i.e. the word should stay breakable)! Any idea? Thanks, Steffen
