Hi there, I have the following code from ConTeXt wiki. I tried it in http://live.contextgarden.net/ and the output is correct. But when I tried it in the ConTeXt from TeXLive 2007, the metapost graph is not displayed in the final pdf file. Any ideas? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \starttext \startreusableMPgraphic{return} drawarrow (0,0)-- (1EmWidth,0)-- (1EmWidth,-.5ExHeight)-- (.5EmWidth,-.5ExHeight) ; \stopreusableMPgraphic \definesymbol[return][\reuseMPgraphic{return}] \setupcolors[state=start] \def\vcrlf{\symbol[return]\crlf\strut\kern1em\strut\ignorespaces} \setuptyping[option=commands] \starttyping test test test /vcrlf test test \stoptyping \setuptyping[option=color] \installnewpretty r \vcrlf \starttyping test \test{test} %%\ r test test \stoptyping \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- .: Leo :.

How to realize rubytext in Context?
by Peter Schorsch 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Hi, for an multilanguage document I need to write some rubytext. But I have no idea how to realize this in context. Math-mode is not a solution as the line-breaks with longer rubytext - but maybe it is the only way. Hints are very welcome. Here is a good and short explanation what rubytext is: http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-ruby Ciao, P.

luatex on debian
by George N. White III 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

debian (unstable,testing?) users can get a snapshot release of luatex in apt package form. This works for me, but there are a few things that needed slight adjustment, so I wanted to report them here to encourage others to start testing it. I needed to set TEXMF=/etc/texmf. Luatools doesn't seem to handle the {..} in the variables that are combined in TEXMF. Also, when it didn't find AlProTex.sty, the message indicated that it couldn't find AlProTeX.sty ('x'-->'X')! For testing, you can just set some simplified TEXMF, e.g.,: export TEXMF={$HOME/texmf,/usr/local/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-texlive,/usr/share/texmf} or you can edit /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf to simplify things like: TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-{texlive,tetex} In my case, I no longer have texmf-textex, so this became just TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-texlive Then run: "update-texmf" and "luatools --generate" You can check the TEXMF variable with: $ luatools --expand-var TEXMF More tests to make sure the configuration is working: $ luatools msam7.afm /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/bluesky/ams/msam7.afm Then build the format: $ luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en and compile something: $ texexec --luatex foo TeXExec | processing document 'foo' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file foo.top TeXExec | using randomseed 967 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-beta-0.11.2-2007092410 (Web2C 7.5.6) (./foo.tex ConTeXt ver: 2007.09.28 16:52 MKIV fmt: 2007.10.12 int: english/english [...] -- George N.

Feature request for backgrounds
by Wolfgang Schuster 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi Hans, can you provide a backgroundimage key for localframed (ot use it in framed) and fastlocalframed (to use it in \setupbackgrounds) to create something like: \setupexternalfigures[location=global] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \defineoverlay [Wallpaper] [\backgroundimage{1}{\paperwidth}{\paperheight}{\externalfigure[cow]}] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background={color,Wallpaper}, backgroundcolor=orange] \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext I want to write the above example in the following way, \setupbackgrounds [page] [background={color,image}, backgroundcolor=orange, backgroundimage=cow] The same mechanism should be also possible for \framed. It should be possible to enable a image and a backgroundcolor at the same time to have a fallback mechanism for the case there is no image available or I want a colored background behind the image. I have also a few wishes for \backgroundimage command in core-box, is it possible let the graphics start in the left top corner and crop it only at the ride side and at the bottom like the default bahaviour in html. Shouldn't the \scratchbox in the \nextboxwd test be a \nextbox. Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] LuaTeX on Mac OS X
by Otared Kavian 11 Oct '07

Dear Joeng, dear Thomas, Thank you so much for your message and your invaluable help. Indeed thanks to Thomas' instructions, after correcting a few details, I could install LuaTeX and typeset the file test-1.tex with the command texexec --lua test-1.tex However, the execution stops with this error message: <everyjob> \the \everyloadluacode \the \everyfinalizeluacode \the \everyjob but after ignoring such messages with the command r (meaning "run" without complaining...) I get the expected PDF file. Since this is not yet a clean and thoroughly working installation, I have not yet tried to put the install informations on the Wiki. Later next week I'll try to re-install everything anew and see whether I have well understood what is needed to run LuaTeX on MacOS X.

'TeX capacity exceeded' problem
by Jeong Dalyoung 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Dear all, Finally, luatools is working(gwTeX, Mac OSX 10.4). Following the instruction given by Thomas, I succeeded to run 'luatools --generate' but I got an error when I run 'luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en'. There is a memory problem for the languages. Following the suggestion, I add a line 'trie_size = 400000' at the end of texmf.cnf in the folder /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.cnf. After that 'luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en' is running without error and the format file is created in the folder /tmp/ luatex-cache/context/... I test it using a simple file like \starttext some texts \startlua a = 1.5 b = 1.8 c = a*b tex.print(c) \stoplua \stoptext and it was working nicely. But when I tested a sample file in the wiki, \usetypescript[palatino] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext effe fietsen 2: \input tufte $\sqrt{2}$ \eogonek \sc effe fietsen 2: \input tufte $\sqrt{2}$ \eogonek \stoptext I got a fatal error.

Re: [NTG-context] need help with creating a grid with context
by MASON Peter J 11 Oct '07

Perhaps I ought to tell what I'm expecting :-) ... Hope to create a regular (1cm spacing) grid on page, of bullets. Ultimately over the whole page. The context code supplied produces successive rows with an offset to the right. Have I missed something obvious?

problem with alignment
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Hi all, Playing with right alignments this morning, I discovered that \setupalign [left] ipsum in elit Duis placerat nec augue puts text *on the right*, while \setupalign [right] ipsum in elit Duis placerat nec augue puts text *on the left*. The \startalignment[left] and \startalignment[right] commands produce the same inversion. (The \rightaligned command works as expected) ............... 12:32 jean@boldair /home/jean % texexec --version TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD ............... -- Jean

Stepping through PDF-Layers
by Wolfgang Schuster 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Hi, I want to animate layers in a pdf like we can do at the moment with fieldstacks to show always the next picture after the click on a button. I will explain this on the following example. \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] \defineoverlay[nextlayer][\overlaybutton{VideLayer{L1}}] \starttext \framed [width=2cm, height=2cm, offset=overlay, background=nextlayer] {\dorecurse{4} {\defineproperty[L\recurselevel][layer][title=layer\recurselevel,state=stop]% \startproperty[L\recurselevel] \ifcase\recurselevel\or\red\or\green\or\blue\or\yellow\fi \hrule height 5mm width\hsize\relax \stopproperty}} \stoptext When i click on the frame the first layer will be visible, my problem is now to make after a second click the next layer visible on so on. I'am also interested to make one or more layers in one step visible and hide another one at the same step. The different layers I want to hide and show are stored in commalist (not yet done but this my methos for the future). Wolfgang
