Custom itemization broken by the new release

Hi all, The following code % frenchitemize \setbox0=\hbox{--~} \def\indenteddash#1{\hskip\parindent--~} \definesymbol[indentdash][\indenteddash] \defineitemgroup[frenchitemize] \setupitemgroup[frenchitemize] [each] [indentdash,packed,joinedup]%,intext] % commenté le 2611 [indentnext=yes,width=\dimexpr \parindent + \wd0 \relax] % testitemize \defineitemgroup[testitemize] \setupitemgroup[testitemize] [each] [indentdash,packed,joinedup,intext] % commenté le 2611 [indentnext=yes,width=\dimexpr \parindent + \wd0 \relax] \starttext \input knuth \startfrenchitemize \item \input tufte \item \input tufte \stopfrenchitemize \input knuth \page \input knuth \starttestitemize \item \input tufte \item \input tufte \stoptestitemize \input knuth \stoptext "demonstrates" (?) the fact that [indentdash,packed,joinedup,intext] options don't lead to the expected result, i.e. the intext option break the packed one in the definition of testitemize.

Bug: missing stopper?
by Oliver Buerschaper 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Hello, playing with \defineenumeration I noticed some weird behaviour: whenever I set an enumeration to be unnumbered the stopper is mysteriously suppressed ... I searched the mailing list for this problem and I discovered that people have experienced problems related to the stopper option before. However, these appeared to have been solved. Now I'm not sure whether I missed a detail or stumbled upon a potentially remaining bug. \defineenumeration [theorem] [text=Theorem] \defineenumeration [remark] [text=Remark] \setupenumerations [location=serried,width=fit,distance=1em,stopper=.] \setupenumerations [remark] [number=no] \starttext \starttheorem \input ward \stoptheorem \startremark \input tufte \stopremark \stoptext By the way what's the role of the option right I found in the source code? Same as stopper? Deprecated? Best wishes, Oliver

Hi, is there a reason why \definecharacter textbar 124 is not in enco-ans.tex? It's part of the texnansi encoding. Best Thomas

Subpagenumbering...
by Willi Egger 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Good afternoon, Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2006.11.16 12:02 MK II fmt: 2006.11.16 int: english/english While preparing a manual I run into the following problem: The document has the following structure: part,chapter,section The TOC is placed in a separate part. Unfortunately the subpagenumbers won't show the required result i.e. the subpages of the first actual document are included in the first part, the TOC. I can't figure out, why this happens. Please try the included sample. Any hint is appreciated. Willi \setupsubpagenumber[way=bychapter,state=start] \setupheadertexts[Pagina: \hfill \subpagenumber~van \nofsubpages][] \setuplist[part][sectionnumber=yes,pagenumber=no,placehead=yes] \starttext \part{Contents} \placecontent[criterium=all] \part{General} \chapter{Introduction} Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large||scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. The separation of any of these four components would have hurt \TeX\ significantly. If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them or perceived why they were important. But a system cannot be successful if it is too strongly influenced by a single person. Once the initial design is complete and fairly robust, the real test begins as people with many different viewpoints undertake their own experiments. \chapter{General description} \dorecurse{3}{% \section{Tufte} We thrive in information||thick worlds because of our marvelous and everyday capacity to select, edit, single out, structure, highlight, group, pair, merge, harmonize, synthesize, focus, organize, condense, reduce, boil down, choose, categorize, catalog, classify, list, abstract, scan, look into, idealize, isolate, discriminate, distinguish, screen, pigeonhole, pick over, sort, integrate, blend, inspect, filter, lump, skip, smooth, chunk, average, approximate, cluster, aggregate, outline, summarize, itemize, review, dip into, flip through, browse, glance into, leaf through, skim, refine, enumerate, glean, synopsize, winnow the wheat from the chaff and separate the sheep from the goats.} \dorecurse{3}{% \section{Ward} The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness.

Parsing texexec output
by Philipp Reichmuth 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, I was fixing a bug in my AucTeX and found that at present it is difficult to parse the output from texexec. Basically Emacs runs texexec in a buffer in --batchmode, then tries to parse the output whether an error occurred and where. Unfortunately with texexec I don't get any error messages (besides the return code), so if something goes wrong, the user only knows that something isn't right, but not what it is. (It also doesn't print page numbers, either.) In comparison, LaTeX when run in \nonstopmode prints the error message normally and continues to process the file; that makes it easy to parse it, jump to the line where the error was detected and even present the user with an explanation of the error message. In order to get similar features with ConTeXt, it would be nice if texexec could be made to be a little bit more verbose in its --batchmode output. Is there a way to do this currently? Philipp

Still have no idea about how to specify fonts in JavaScript fields.
by Zhichu Chen 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hello everyone, Thanks for suggesting some great documents last time. But after looking up in AcroJS Guide, and PDF Reference , etc., I still don't know how can I use special fonts in a JavaScript field. My JS code is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ function start_clock() { var thetime=new Date(); var nhours=thetime.getHours(); var nmins=thetime.getMinutes(); var nsecn=thetime.getSeconds(); if (nhours<0) nhours="0"+nhours; if (nsecn<10) nsecn="0"+nsecn; if (nmins<10) nmins="0"+nmins; font.Digital = font.CourBI ; vv = this.getField("time.clock") ; if (vv) { vv.value = nhours+":"+nmins+":"+nsecn; vv.readonly = true ; vv.textColor = color.red ; vv.textFont = font.Digital ; // font.TimesBI Cour HelvB Symbol ZapfD this.dirty = false }} timeout=app.setInterval('start_clock()',1000); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I guess there are already some definitions about ``font.CourBI'' but where can I find the original code of the definition which I can imitate it to create a new font. Thanks -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Re: [NTG-context] using cmbright and hfbright fonts
by M.J. Kallen 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Ok, I've solved the AMS symbol problem by defining the following typescripts: \starttypescript [math] [cmbr] [default] \definefontsynonym [Cmbr-Math-Alpha] [cmbras10] \definefontsynonym [Cmbr-Math-Beta] [cmbrbs10] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [cmbr] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathAlpha] [Cmbr-Math-Alpha] \definefontsynonym [MathBeta] [Cmbr-Math-Beta] \stoptypescript Now it just needs cleaning up... In anticipation of further refinement, I've put a test on my wiki userpage at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Maarten-Jan. ConTeXt live has the CM bright font installed, but not the hfbright Type1 version. Maarten-Jan ----- Original Message ---- From: M.J. Kallen <mj_kallen(a)yahoo.com> To: [NTG-context] maillist <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 1:10:54 PM Subject: [NTG-context] using cmbright and hfbright fonts Hi all, I couldn't find anything on using the Computer Modern Bright font together with the Type1 versions (hfbright) so I experimented a little myself. I consider myself a ConTeXt novice, so I hope others can help me improve it. Attached are two source files: cmbr.tex and textfragment-context.tex. The latter is the text used to test fonts in the free font survey (http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Free_Math_Font_Survey/survey.html) loosely adjusted for use in ConTeXt. The first file contains my attempt at defining typescripts for CM Bright and compares regular modern with CM Bright. I have a pdf output available for those who do not have the necessary font files. I'm particularly interested in CM Bright/hfbright, because of the sans serif math font which I believe is a good candidate for use with other sans serif fonts (like the Verdana example in This Way #9). Besides fixing any mistakes in my typescripts and setting things like bold math and encodings up correctly, the one thing that remains to be done (I think) is to define the math collection for cmbr. I'm not sure if something elaborate like math-ams.tex is required. hfbright has two files hfbras10.afm and hfbrbs10.afm, which look very similar to msam10.afm and msbm10.afm so maybe there's an easier way (font synonyms?) of using the hfbright AMS symbols instead of the regular AMS symbols? I think this would be a nice addition (perhaps in the form of a module) to ConTeXt. Any suggestions and help are greatly appreciated!

overlay problem with textext

Hi all, the attached example works with the version from 17.11.|20.11., but not with the current (22.11.06, 11:02) one. The problem seems to be in the use of textext, as it 'works' (background is visible) when I exchange p:= textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; with p:= nullpicture ; I couldn't test the current version on contextgarden (still 20.11., which works ok), so I'm unsure, if it's my messy tex tree or a general problem.
