project structure & cannot find file problem
by Fabian Kloosterman 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hello, I just started playing with ConTeXt and setting up project/product/component structures. I made the following directory structure: /project /project/project.tex /project/environment.tex /project/product /project/product/product.tex /project/product/component /project/product/component/component.tex /project/product/component/subcomponent.tex The component.tex file inserts the subcomponent.tex file using the \input command. Creating a pdf from component.tex (by running texexec from within /project/product/component) work fine. But when I try to run texexec in the product folder to create the product pdf, it complains that it cannot find the subcomponent.tex What do I have to do for texexec to be able to find the subcomponent.texfile? Thanks, Fabian Kloosterman

\setupexternalfigures[location={local, global}] does not work
by Peter Münster 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hello, the sample file "hacker.jpg" is only found by "\externalfigure[hacker]" when using "\setupexternalfigures[location=global]" but not with \setupexternalfigures[location={global,local}] nor with \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global}] Do I misunderstand perhaps the location-option or is this a bug? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Index and bookmark problem
by Wim Neimeijer 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hi, I get an error when I use bookmarks in combination with indexed keywords in chapter/section like the example below. When I comment out the \placebookmarks, things seem to work. Is this behavior to be expected or is there a workaround/solution ? Kind regards Wim Neimeijer % Example % \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \starttext \chapter{Affiene connectie en affiene \index{geodeten}geodeten} \section{Inleiding} \index{Ruimtetijd} Ruimtetijd is een vierdimensionale differentieerbare vari\"eteit. In de vorige paragrafen hebben we op grond van het equivalentieprincipe van Einstein een metriek en een metrische connectie op \index{Ruimtetijd} Ruimtetijd ingevoerd. In deze paragraaf zullen we wat algemener een \index{connectie+affiene}affiene connectie op \index{Ruimtetijd} Ruimtetijd invoeren. Het zal blijken dat de metrische en de affiene connectie aan elkaar gelijk kunnen zijn. \setupfootertexts[] \setupheadertexts[][][][] \setupregister[index] [partnumber=no, criterium=all, pagestyle={\tf}, style={\WORD}, % use uppercase header characters! interaction=pagenumber, align=yes] \completeindex \stoptext Error from log >texmfstart texexec --autopdf --pdf testindex.tex TeXExec | processing document 'testindex.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file testindex.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1138 TeXExec | tex engine: pdfetex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en TeXExec | progname: context This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.5) \write18 enabled.

Spacing of page numbers in list
by David Wooten 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Greetings all, I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure out how to control (increase) the space between the name of each part/chapter/section and its page number in a list generated by the following example. I've tried (I believe) every option in the \setuplist grimoire... but obviously I have not! Any clues? Best, David ==== \setuplist [part] [style={\scbf},label=no,pagestyle=bf,pagenumber=no] \setuplist [chapter] [style={\sb},distance=-0.5em] \setuplist [section] [pagestyle={\tf},margin=0em,distance=-.5em] \setuplist [subsection] [style=it,pagestyle={\tf},margin=2em] \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=a, aligntitle=yes, width=2.5em,sectionnumber=no,partnumber=no] ====

Why must I move frame to center it?
by John R. Culleton 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

I am using some old code that Hans provided to create a pretty frame around some text, for purposes of a "Part" header page. Here is my current test file: -------------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \definepapersize[bok][width=6.0in,height=9.0in] \setuppapersize[bok][letter] \setuplayout[marking=on,margin=.5in,textwidth=4.5in,width=middle,location=middle] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext %\startstandardmakeup \noheaderandfooterlines \startuseMPgraphic{bg} StartPage ; path p ; p := Page enlarged -10mm ; path q ; q := Page enlarged -15mm ; drawoptions(withcolor .85white) ; fill reverse topboundary q -- topboundary p -- cycle ; fill reverse bottomboundary q -- bottomboundary p -- cycle ; drawoptions(withcolor .65white) ; fill reverse leftboundary q -- leftboundary p -- cycle ; fill reverse rightboundary q -- rightboundary p -- cycle ; StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic \vglue -1.55in %??? \hglue -.75in %??? \useMPgraphic{bg} \vglue -6.5in \hglue .2in \centerline{\bf Here is some text} %\stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ------------------------------------------------- Now here is my question: why must I use the negative \vglue and \hglue lines (arrived at by experimentation) to place the frame properly on the page?

ConTeXt International User Meeting
by Taco Hoekwater 28 Nov '06

= ConTeXt International User Meeting 2007 = The first international CONTEXT user meeting will take place in Epen, The Netherlands. The meeting will start on Friday March 23 at dinnertime, and will finish on Monday morning. For those of you who are already familiar with CONTEXT, this meeting is an excellent opportunity to learn some new tricks, meet fellow users from the CONTEXT mailing list, talk to developers and hackers, and promote your feature request list. If you are not already using CONTEXT, this is the ideal place to acquaint yourself with our beautiful macro package and meet your potential new friends ! == Call for papers == The programme is not finalized yet, we welcome contributions on all levels of expertise. Please drop us a line if you are willing to give a presentation or tutorial. == Call for topics == Please *also* let us know if there is a specific topic you would like to hear more about. == Confirmed presentations == * Thomas A. Schmitz -- Typesetting greek with CONTEXT * Hans Hagen -- CONTEXT IV and MetaTeX * Idris Samawi Hamid -- Al Sanaah: arabic typesetting * Taco Hoekwater -- Linguistic macros * Jean-Michel Hufflen -- MlBibTeX * Sanjoy Mahajan --Typesetting a physics textbook with CONTEXT == Confirmed tutorials == * Willi Egger -- Page layout and arrangements * Taco Hoekwater -- Creating a module == Workshops and discussions == * CONTEXT documentation * Regression test suite * Development fund * Merchandising == Registration == Because the organizers like the intimacy of small meetings - where not everything has to be pre-arranged and scheduled - we have picked a location that can hold only about three dozen participants. So, if you want to be sure there is place left, you should *register now*! To register, please fill in the registration form on the website http://context.aanhet.net/epen2007/ The base registration fee is 200 euro (spanning three nights and all meals from dinner on friday to breakfast on monday). Discounts are available for TeX user group members and for people that spend the nights away from the conference location. Hope to see you there! Taco and Hans

Module for ptj
by Thomas A. Schmitz 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Hi Aditya, I've just played some with your module for the PracTeX journal. This is very nice to have, I'm absolutely thrilled! When I wrote for them, I just relied on a self-cooked style, but yours looks much closer to the official LaTeX template. Just two or three very small remarks: 1. You should mention somewhere that your module necessitates installing the texgyre fonts (at least pagella) + the map files. They don't come with a normal ConTeXt installation (yet). 2. I haven't really looke into the texgyre fonts yet, but is it possible to make mediaeval numbers the default? Given that they are used for page and section numbers, that would make sense, IMHO. 3. The line endings in lines 226 and 227 need to be escaped; otherwise, you'll get a spurious space in front of the abstract buffer (visible in output in demo mode). Thanks so much for providing this module; I'll certainly use it if I write anything for PTJ again! Best Thomas
