the same old \column problem
by Henning Hraban Ramm 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hans et al, did \column ever work or is it supposed to? I.e. I guess I should be able "jump" to the next column in \startcolumns ... \column % next column ... \stopcolumns Without the \column, it works only for longer paragraphs, but e.g. not with \startlines - I'm trying to typeset lyrics, and the column *always* breaks within a verse instead of between, even if all the verses have the same number of lines, so that it would be easily possible to balance cleanly.

unic-xxx.tex glyph lists: minor bugs, questions
by Philipp Reichmuth 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, I've been writing a script that sifts through the unic-xxx.tex files to get a readable mapping what Unicode characters are supported using \Amacron-style names. In the process I found one bug and something that might be another bug: - the Cyrillic block (unic-004.tex) is missing an \unknownchar line for U+04CF, so that the remaining (few) glyphs are off by one - the Hebrew block (unic-005.tex) starts with a \numexpr line indicating an offset of 224 = E0; however, the first character in the list is U+05D0. So either the whole block is off by 16, starting at 0x0490 instead of 0x0500, or the 224 should be a 208 (=D0) instead. BTW unic-005.tex is the only file with Macintosh line endings. Are the unic-xxx files automatically generated or maintained by hand? Incidentally, it would be trivial now to put the list of ConTeXt glyphs on the Wiki, if anyone's interested. I wanted to use this to work towards better support for the whole range of ConTeXt glyphs with OpenType fonts under XeTeX, by reading what ConTeXt glyphs are available in a font and building a list of "\catcode`ā=\active \def ā {\amacron}"-style list for the rest. (Unfortunately this kind of list would be font-specific, but the generic alternative would be a huge list of active characters with an \ifnum\XeTeXcharglyph"....>0 macro behind it, and that would probable be quite slow.) I wonder if there is a more intelligent way to achieve this goal; since part of the logic for mapping code points into glyph macros exists already, it would be easier if there was a way to reuse that. The best way out would be if I could enable ConTeXt's UTF-8 regime while running XeTeX in \XeTeXinputencoding=bytes mode, but I haven't gotten that to work yet. Philipp

mark ii/iv
by Hans van der Meer 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

In the most recent release notes on contextgarden it is said: "This was the first version that separates between a 'mark ii' and 'mark iv' version." I guess I missed something important, but I am ignorant on the terms "mark ii" and "mark iv" version. Searching contextgarden did not reveal an explanation to me. I would appreciate if someone can point me to some reading stuff. met vriendelijke groet Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] Problems with \fillinfield
by Fredrik Sjunnesson 23 Nov '06

I took a look at the source code and realized that I had misunderstood the function of \fillinfield. Thus, \fillinfield probably works the way it should, just not the way I expected it to work.

enumeration, framedtext and funny...
by Marcel Takac 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Hi, I'm trying to make my document in ConTeXt and in I have some problem. Problem is in my environment for theorems. Every theorem has name and number. I had defined "enumeration" for them. Theorem-text is typed in framedtext, with backround. Theorem's title is defined by \setMPtext, and is typed in MPgraphic (\MPstring). I want to type also theorem's number (Theorem 1, ...) instead of "Here", but there is a problem: \MPstring{TheoremCaption} is empty. Where I'm making mistake? Zrejme robim niekde nejaku elementarnu chybu. Vychadzal som z prikladu v MetaFun Manuale, ktory som si upravoval. Mozem poprosit o nakopnutie? Je dost mozne, ze sa uberam uplne zlym smerom?

register with align is justification ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Hi, once again I am in despair of the register/index. I assumed the syntax below gives a register in align=justification. But it doesn't. (It pretends to, but not good.) Is there a way to *force* justification? (Even with the space between words gets a bit large, to *some* extend.)

on \setupindenting
by Pablo Rodríguez 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Hi, after trying to get hanging indenting for standard paragraphs (or what you get in TeX writing \hang\noindenting at the beginning of the paragraph) and not being able to get this (without \star...\stop lists), I wonder whether it would be possible to add a "command=..." option to the \setupindenting command. I would need this to set up a bibliography where standard paragraphs should have hanging indentation (but at margin, not in margin). Thanks for your help, Pablo

please add support for Korean language in unic-cjk.tex
by Dohyun Kim 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Hi. Recently I have tried to support typesetting UTF-8 Korean language along with context-beta. I have uploaded related files to a temporary server for your reference (3.5Mb): http://210.94.201.157/~nomos/KTUG/context-korean-test.tar.gz But as the current unic-cjk.tex does not cover Korean Hangul Syllables area and CJK Compatibility Ideographs area, I have to edit that file every time I upgrade context. It is so an annoying thing to do it every time that I suggest adding those areas in unic-cjk.tex file, like this: %%% Hangul Syllables \dostepwiserecurse{172}{215}{1}{\expanded{\defineunicodecommand {\recurselevel}} {\lookaheaduchar}} %%% CJK Compatibility Ideographs \dostepwiserecurse{249}{250}{1}{\expanded{\defineunicodecommand {\recurselevel}} {\lookaheaduchar}} Additionally, I here report some possible bugs of context-beta related to CJK (especially Korean language) support. First, unintended space is inserted when I change font family. This disappears if I add a comment sign in \enableunicodefont command in font-uni.tex. \def\enableunicodefont#1% {\definefontsynonym[\s!Unicode][\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!file}]% \def\unicodescale {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!scale}}% \def\unicodeheight {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!height}}% \def\unicodedepth {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!depth}}% \def\unicodedigits {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!conversion}}% \def\handleunicodeglyph {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!command}}% \doifnot\currentregime{utf}{\enableregime[unicode]}% % the following \relax's are realy needed \doifvalue{\??uc#1\c!interlinespace}\v!yes \setupinterlinespace\relax \doifvalue{\??uc#1\c!strut}\v!yes {\setunicodestrut\unicodeheight\unicodedepth}% <- HERE {\resetunicodestrut}% \getvalue{\??uc#1\c!commands}\relax} Secondly, to deal with special commands in pdf bookmarks, "\simplifycommands" should be added to \sanitizePDFuniencoding command in spec-tst.tex. \long\def\sanitizePDFuniencoding#1\to#2% {\enablePDFunicrlf \simplifycommands % <- HERE \let\unicodechar\relax % prevent further expansion \retainlccodes\lccode32=255 % slooow \lowercasestring\PDFunicodetrigger#1\to#2% \edef#2{\expandafter\doPDFuni#2\empty\empty}} % slooow Thirdly, "\definefileinsertion{tpd}{mps}" in spec-dpx.tex seems to be a typo. I think this should be corrected as follows: \definefileinsertion{dpx}{mps} In fact, as an unsubscribed user I have posted a similar message to the context mailinglist a few weeks ago . But I did not obtain any response then. Now being subscribed, I repost it. Best Regards, -- Dohyun Kim http://people.ktug.or.kr/~nomos/

using cmbright and hfbright fonts
by M.J. Kallen 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

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!
