Times as math font
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 04 Apr '07

Hello, Could someone be so kind to tell me why I cannot set Times as math font? The line \definetypeface [myFont] [mm] [math,boldmath] [myfont] [default] [encoding=t2a] seems to do nothing; other code works well. \loadmapfile[t2a-monotype-timesttf.map] \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \starttypescript [serif] [myfont] [t2a] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [t2a-TINRPSMT] [encoding=t2a] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [t2a-TINRPSBM] [encoding=t2a] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [t2a-TINRPSIM] [encoding=t2a] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [t2a-TINRPSBI] [encoding=t2a] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [myFont] [rm] [serif] [myfont] [default] [encoding=t2a] \definetypeface [myFont] [mm] [math,boldmath] [myfont] [default] [encoding=t2a] \definetypeface [myFont] [tt] [mono] [typewriter][default][encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont[myFont,12pt] \starttext Uniform distribution (over an interval) means that every number from that interval is equally probable. The probability density function is given as $ f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{1 \over {b - a}}} & {for\,x \in (a;b)} \cr 0 & {otherwise} \cr } } \right. $ \stoptext -- Best, Vyatcheslav

Microsoft Word -> Context
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello, My faculty receives papers in MS Word format. One poor computer literate lady is working very hard to typeset a journal of consistent quality from those papers. All work is performed in MS Word and I consider to suggest her to move to ConText (she don't have a slightest idea of it at the moment, by the way). I already have some fonts and header files to typeset math papers in Russian and I think I could setup all things for her and provide help if needed. Then, we need something like Word2ConText (or a macro written in VBA) to convert incoming papers to ConText code and then easily assemble them. Something, that resembles famous Word2Tex application. What can community say about the sensibility of my idea? And did anyone attempt to implement some conversion tool? Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Section title font define
by Roy Zuo 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi all, I am going to write my thesis with ConTeXt. The problem is that our University wants chapter titles to be 18 points while body text is 11 points. I do not want to use \switchtobodyfont every time I type a chapter title, but I have no idea how to make it a style in the setup area. Any hints? Thanks a lot. Yous, Roy

bib question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi all, not really a question about specific code, but I need an idea: I have a fairly large bibliographical list which is generated from an even larger bibtex database. Now, I want to quote some of the items from this list on my slides, but I want to retain the original numbering in the list, like so: the list: [1] item A [2] item B [3] item C the slide: [2] item B [3] item C Can anyone suggest an approach for this? Or is this impossible with bibtex, and I have to typeset the slides manually? Thanks, and best Thomas

Publication list ragged right
by Oliver Buerschaper 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi all, is there a way of typesetting the publication list ragged right? Unfortunately the following doesn't work: \startalignment[right] \placepublications \stopalignment With each publication item filling barely more than two lines justification looks rather ugly (and causes a number of overfull boxes) ... Best, Oliver

m-bib question: URL, DOI
by Tobias Burnus 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hello, I have a question regarding URLs and DOIs. I would expect that the attached example file would produce hyperlinks for the DOI and URL, but ConTeXt does not. Using \cite[doi] also produces the wrong output. For doi = 10.1103/PhysRevLett.45.566 I would expect 10.1103/PhysRevLett.45.566 and not: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.45.566 as output. In the reference list, the output is ok, but is no hyperlink. Whether \cite[doi][] should link to the item in the \completepublications list or to the webpage dx.doi.org and whether the link target should depend on \setupcite[interaction=start|stop], is not clear, both options have its merits. In addition, what is the way to insert "#" in URLs? If I don't protect them, I get a TeX error, if I use \# the backslash is printed, too. Tobias

ConTeXt and vim spell check
by Robin Kirkham 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hi, I'm using vim 7.0.17. When I edit a ConTeXt source file, it does the syntax highlighting correctly, but it won't do spelling error highlighting. It works for other filetypes (including LaTeX). Is there something extra needed in .vimrc? I have filetype plugin indent on syntax enable set spell spelllang=en_au Robin

XML in ConTeXt (TeX -> XML)
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

Hi, in the XML manual "example .pdf" the chapter "basic workflows" talks about TeX -> style -> XML : "we simply typeset XML. The typeset document (with lots of angle brackets) is then converted into raw text". That sounds like ... texmfstart texexec --xml --foo.tex ... but this also calls pdfetex and results in a pdf file. So what is actually meant by "we simply typeset XML"? Steffen
