HTML to Context with Regular Expressoin
by Jan Kraljič 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Hello, I'm trying to create WYSWYG editor for Context. I started with FCKeditor which is great HTML WYSWYG. My idea was to use html code generated by FCKeditor than to use regular expression so ContexT. Thats giving me headache. In contextgarden I found some solution for changing HTM to ConTeXt but i didn't find any that would use regular expression. Now i wonder if there is any list of expressions for replacing HTML with ConTeXt or should I start somewhere on contextgarden and hope for help to complete. I believe that such replacement table can help few to thinking about using ConTeXt. Best regards, Jan -- Macs are for those who don't want to know why their computer works.

filepath on format generation
by Hans van der Meer 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

I migrated my texlive2007 tree to a new disk and now I encounter permission difficulties on context format generation. Calling the bashrc alias: alias formats='texmfstart texexec --make en; texmfstart texexec --make --alone metafun After the normal (error) messages about ls-R updating I get a permission error: TeXExec | using search method 'kpsewhich' TeXExec | updating file database mktexlsr: Updating /Users/hans/Tex/texmf-private/ls-R... mktexlsr: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping... <these are expected, no access for me to these directories> mktexlsr: Done. TeXExec | using tex engine pdftex TeXExec | using tex format path ./pdftex TeXExec | unable to make format due to lack of permissions and on calling the following alias: alias texversion='texmfstart texexec.pl --version; rm mpgraph.mp texvers-mpgraph.mp' I get: fmtutil: format directory `/web2c' does not exist. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: format directory `/web2c' does not exist. In my .bashrc I have: # TeX variables CONTEXT_RUBY=/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby TEX_HOME=/usr/local/texlive/2007 TEXMFCACHE=/Users/hans/Temp OSFONTDIR=/Library/Fonts TEXMFCNF=/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c TEXMF="{/Users/hans/Tex/texmf-private,/usr/local/texlive/texmf- context,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf,/ usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,/usr/ local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-doc,/usr/ local/texlive/2007/texmf-var}" TEXFORMATS=/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c nor did work: TEXFORMATS=/Users/hans/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex The idea is to have the formats locally under .texlive2007 in my home directory. Can someone enlighten me where the base of respectively ./pdftex and / web2c is supposed to be? I thought I did set my environment variables just as I did previously, when it worked. Why suddenly these apparently incomplete paths? I MUST have some pathvariable WRONG, but which one is it? Hans van der Meer

Is it possible? Thanks, Zeus.

absolute positioning?
by Patrick Gundlach 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

Hello! What is the current most contextish way for absolute positioning of text (still using MK II)? I have to create a title page for a document where several frameless boxes of text have to be placed on the page. Is this still the layer mechanism? I mean, ConTeXt evolves so quickly, being absent for one real year means being absent for about 10 ConTeXt-years. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

beta
by Hans Hagen 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi, I uploaded a new (mkiv) beta. The biggest change is that there are some optimizations in the cached mkiv font tables which should lead to (1) faster loading and (2) a smaller memory footprint. I may have messed some things in the process, so testing is appreciated.

LaTeX float pages in ConTeXt
by Santy, Michael 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

I've been playing around with the float placement options in ConTeXt, but I could find no way to enable "float pages". If you're not familiar with float pages, here's a quick blurb: "If there are too many floats to fit on a page, LaTeX pushes them on to the next page, and the next; eventually, floats may end up at the end of the document. If the [p] option has been provided to individual figures and tables, they may be pushed together onto a float page that has no text." - http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/bibliog/latex/floats.html I'm not interested in using \setupfloat[figure][default=page]. It forces all figures to a float page with one picture per page. In latex, the behavior that I desire can be specified with: \begin{figure}[htbp] \includegraphics[width=5.0in, height=3.0in]{myfile.jpg} \caption{Blah} \end{figure} Cheers, Mike

Combining eps figures into a single document
by Dave 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Hi all, I am not sure if there is an easy way to do this with a generic ConTeXt document but I thought I'd ask anyways. I have a folder full of identically sized data plots saved as eps/pdf files and I was wondering if there was a quick way to shrink and tile them into a multi-page document so that I get 15 plots per page (5 rows x 3 colums)? I have scripts that generate these plots and I literally have hundreds of them that I need to combine and print. Any ideas? Many thanks, Dave
