If MPXFILE is older than MPFILE, translate the labels from the MetaPost input file MPFILE to low-level commands in MPXFILE, by running mpto -tex, tex, and dvitomp by default; or, if -troff is specified, mpto -troff, gsoelim | geqn -Tps -d$$ | gtroff -Tps, and dmp. The current directory is used for writing temporary files. Errors are left in mpxerr.{tex,log,dvi}. If the file named in $MPTEXPRE (mptexpre.tex by default) exists, it is prepended to the output in tex mode.

interlinespace and accented capital
by Peter van Kranenburg 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

Hi list, I have an accented E (É) somewhere in my text. The height of this character changes the interlinespace, probably to avoid collision of the accent and the line above it. Unfortunately it is visually very disturbing to have a larger interlinespace for one single line on the page. I couldn't find a way to make ConTeXt ignore this height and space the lines evenly. I would be very glad if someone could point me to a solution for this. best Peter van Kranenburg

Hi Tako, thank you for your response. There is nothing in mpxerr.log. When I was trying to use mptopdf to convert mp file to pdf, it didn't produce myfile-1.pdf... type files, even though it said it was converted. So, I looked up this manual http://tex.aanhet.net/context/mirror/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf and typed "pdftex --ini mptopdf" at command prompt without understanding. Magically, it produced pdf files, but now metapost doesn't work. Maybe, the process "pdftex --ini mptopdf" had changed the path of metapost execution.

It looks like the 'normal' latex command in your path has a problem with something, that does not happen with the executable in texlive's bin directory.

I thought they are kind of preinstalled fonts... Now, with TeXLive they are gone. But some projects allready started with eg NimbusRoman. So, how do I get it back? > I usually use texfont for this kind of work. texfont? Tell me more about it! Up now I didn't came across it, don't know it... Steffen

Scite folding
by Idris Samawi Hamid 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Dear syndicate, Can Scite be configured for folding based on TeX keywords, or is that something that is hardwired in Scintilla/Scite? I would like to feed Scite all the \start-\stop's, {}, \bgroup-\egroup etc. I looked in the context properties files but did not find anything, and it's certainly not there by default Notepad++ (also scintilla-based) supports this through a nifty define-your-own-language dialog****, as well as global RTL (no interlinear bidi), but the developers are generally unresponsive to requests for help or guidance from end users (as opposed to serious programmers) so I am a bit hesitant about switching from WinEdt to Notepad++. Notepad++ also supports folding in TeX-mode for things like \chapter, \section (without ending tags; adopted from Visual TeX) but the dialog does not let me extend that for ConTeXt (\subject etc). Anyway, whatever you can tell me about Scite and folding would be a big help!
