texexec ruby problem
by Michal Kvasnicka 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Good morning. I've just installed new ConTeXt (ver: 2006.08.08 21:51) under SuSE 10.1 Linux. I tried to make ruby version of texexec working, but I failed. When I try to run it, I get this error message: /usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- base/switch (LoadError) from /usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:10 Can you tell me what package should I install? And is there any difference between the perl and the ruby texexecs? Your sincerely Michal Kvasnicka

Another question about oldstyle numbers
by Helin Gai 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi, This is a question I posted before, which hasn't been resolved yet... When I use \setuphead[section][numberstyle=os], the dot in the section number becomes a triangle... One fix is to say [numberstyle=sc], but is an alternative available? Thanks!

Dynamic Elements on Layer
by Helin Gai 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi, I'm still trying to place my running heads into the margin, 5 cm away from the top. My new attempt is to use layer: \definelayer[colin][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight,x=0mm,y=0mm] \setlayer[colin][x=5cm,y=3cm]{\framed{\getmarking[chapter][current]}} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=colin] But it doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone know why it is? Many thanks! Sincerely, Helin -- Helin (Colin) Gai Class of 2009, Duke University Box 96332 Durham, NC 27708 Phone: 919-943-6302 helin.gai at gmail.com hg9 at duke.edu

> Is it on windows? It seems -- unless your tests too are on linux Yes, it is on windows (Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 and 7.0.9) I tried with ghostscript 8.53, and all is ok. Don't know what with AcroRead 8. Wolfgang

That's what I see with (Adobe Reader 7.0.8; ConTeXt 2007.01.02 13:44). It depends on rulethickness and gets printed!!! Wolfgang
