Grid-keeping list (again)
by Johannes Kuester 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hello, I'm still trying to typeset a "grid-keeping" list (or table). Wolfgang Schuster supplied me off-list with the attached module. This works fine except for one problem: Only the first few lines are placed on the grid, then the grid is lost. After the next pass (i.e. after the next "texmfstart texexec testfile"), some more lines are placed on the grid. (So I need many passes to typeset the complete list correctly). Why? Any idea? (I fiddled around with \synchronizegrid, \placeongrid, \moveongrid, and \startlinecorrection \stoplinecorrection, but none of these seems to work.) You could try the effect with the following example: %%%%%%%%%% \setuplayout[grid=yes, columns=2] \showgrid %\showstruts \usemodule[gridlist] \starttext \startcolumns[n=2, balance=no] %% (columns are not necessary to show the effect) \dorecurse{20}{ \zeichen{0001}{a}{first letter}{}% \zeichen{0002}{b}{second letter}{}% \zeichen{0002}{c}{third letter, this one has a longer entry which needs more than one line}{}% } \stopcolumns \stoptext %%%%%%%%%% (This should result in an annotated list of mathematical symbols, showing the Unicode number, the math symbol, and some explanation (and where the explanation could need more than one line); quite similar to the list I published in "Detailtypografie" (2nd ed. 2004), but for another -- quite pressing -- project.)

"Announcing: XPSTeX" . A joke. Really ?
by luigi scarso 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

ok, it's a joke http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.pdftex/3404 (but the best is http://www.google.com/tisp/ ) But my question is: Will be "easy" in luatex to implement a new output format (dvi,pdf,xps,<<my-xml>>,<<my-bin-format>>) driven by command line ? Actually $>texmfstart texexec --pdf a.tex ==> a.pdf $>texmfstart texexec a.tex ==> a.dvi ie, tex=>pdf or tex=>dvi because pdftex has two native output format. Of course one can use workflows tex=>dvi=>ps=>pdf tex=>dvi=>html by external tools, or one can write a tex macro that write on file whatever one wants, but it's not what I mean. luigi

Killing the space after a section.
by John R. Culleton 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

I have the file set up with no parindent and one blank line between paragraphs. but I want to kill the extra space after \section headers. The current definition is: \setuphead[section][number=no,style=\SectSans,page=no,after={\vskip 2sp}] ...but the blank line remains. Do I need to use a negative \vskip? \SectSans is a font I set up (bold, sans serif and slightly larger. ) If there is a way to specify both bold and sans serif at a larger (e.g. \tfb) size I would be happy to use that instead. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

macro for api-documentation
by Janko Hauser 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hello everyone, good morning europe, I want to generate an API- documentation. For this I use a table (bTABLE) for every function definition. That's a lot of code, which is in part dynamic (number of rows for example depends on number of arguments). Here is a simple example, but I will need colors and different fonts, different lines between in/out and so on. \startalignment[middle] \midaligned{\ss \bTABLE \bTR \bTD[nc=3] validateRegistration \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=3] \rotate[rotation=90]{Input} \eTD \bTD parameter1 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu Parameter 1 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD parameter2 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu Parameter 2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD parameter2 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu Parameter 2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=3] \rotate[rotation=90]{Output} \eTD \bTD parameter1 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu Parameter 1 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD parameter2 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu Parameter 2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD parameter3 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu Parameter 3 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE} \stopalignment Are there any examples to do this more generally or better approaches to set this up?

broken section number
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hallo! I need help with referencing a subsubsection-number and the following setup: --------------------------------------- \setuphead[chapter][number=no] \setuphead[subsection][resetnumber=no] \setuphead[subsubsection][ numbercommand={\determineheadnumber[section]\currentheadnumber .}] \setupsection[section][previousnumber=no,conversion=Romannumerals] \setupsection[subsection][previousnumber=no,conversion=Characters] \setupsection[subsubsection][previousnumber=no] \starttext \section{Eins} \subsection{Zuerst} \subsubsection{Test} \subsubsection[LAB]{Test} \subsubsection{Test} \subsection{Danach} \subsubsection{Test} \subsubsection{Test} \section{Zwei} \subsection{Und dann} \subsubsection{Test} In \in[LAB] % <---- problem \stoptext --------------------------------------- The numbering of the subsub's is prefixed (arabic, not roman) and reset by the section-number (not the subsection-number). This works. The problem is, that section-number-prefix is not used for the reference. What is the solution? Btw. I have not found any explanations for the 'prefix' and the 'ownnumber' options. Where can I read and learn about these options? Wolfgang

An easy way to test OpenType fonts with Context/Xetex from scratch under Windows (XP): 1. Get Texlive 2007 2. Install the Context collection with the Texlive Manager (Xetex is included) 3. Create a little test file: \enableregime[utf] \definetypeface[myface][ss][Xsans][Arial]%or any else font in your /windows/fonts folder; run "fc-list >namelist.txt" to get them all \setupbodyfont[myface, 12pt] \starttext Hello World! \stoptext 4. Run "texexec --xtx test.tex" Sources: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_XeTeX http://www.fsci.fuk.kindai.ac.jp/kakuto/win32-ptex/web2c75-e.html _______________________________________________________________ SMS schreiben mit WEB.DE FreeMail - einfach, schnell und kostenguenstig.

Hello, Thanks a lot for people who replied to my "OpenType in Windows" topic. I have learned a lot about perspectives, but... can someone make it clear -- CAN I use OpenType fonts with ConTeXt on Windows right NOW (without conversion to other formats), and, if possible, what I have to do to achieve it? Thanks. -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

xetext-pdftex differences
by Steffen Wolfrum 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hi, as there are some on this list working/playing with xetex/context: Where do I go when I experience differences between context/pdftext and context/xetex? For example with context/xetex I get ... ! Undefined control sequence. \stopframedtext ->\dostopframedtext ... and I do get "SS" instead of eszett ("ß") with the following: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \usetypescript[times][ec] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[utf] \setupbodyfont[times,9pt] Hello Thermes! 1234567890 üööäß Whom to tell this? Steffen P.S. Besides these details it is amazing how smooth ConTeXt files run with XeTeX!!
