temporary solution - Re: ConTeXt installation problem...

Dear all, After changing the mode of texmf.local as writable, I was able to update the ConTeXt. However, it is not the normal installation. Still ImageMagick and \externalfigure are not working properly. I don't know why it is not working in this notebook(G4) only. Thank you. Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] Page number alignment in \placecontent
by Ángel Luis García Fernández 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Hi again, you were right, Maarten-Jan. The problem was the following: \setupindenting[medium] I like the first line of each paragraph to be indented, so I put the above command in my "general config" file. The undesired effect is that it also indented the index lines, shifting them to the right. That's the reason why the page numbers appeared in the right margin (is this a bug? I mean, should ConTeXt break the index line instead of put the number in the margin?). Now I have moved the \setupindenting command to the body section of my document, and the \setuplist options you wrote in the previous e-mail work ok (I forgot the "criterium=all" in the \setupcombinedlist command).

xmldir : hyperlinks not working
by olivier Turlier 31 Oct '06

Hi every Context lover/user, I came to using xmltools for building an long (boring) list of folders&files, with the idea of sharing a cdrom with "automount" niceties (shellexec.exe & autorun.inf telling to open the generated pdf). The problem is that xmltool apparently ("skip" certain portions ?) don't "recognise" or "retranscribe" a full path, i.e if a real path is root(K:\MESDOC\COURS\05-TEB~1\000_ZI~1)\01-at1-repres_graphic_gene\01-s8910-metre_infra\cours-ppes-metre-go-0506.pdf firefox answer that (//media/cdrom0)/cours-ppes-metre-go-0506.pdf. is unreachable ------------.tex file for creating xmldir.xml : \useregime[il1] \enableregime[il1] \useencoding[ffr] \mainlanguage[fr] \executesystemcommand % {texmfstart xmltools --dir --recurse --root=K:/Mesdoc/cours/05-teb-0506/000_zip-tout --pattern={*.pdf,*.xls} --output=xmldir.xml} {texmfstart xmltools --dir --recurse --pattern=*.* --output=xmldir.xml} ---------- command for making pdf from xmldir.xml : texmfstart newtexexec.rb --autopdf --pdf --mode=colorscheme-red --xml --use=dir-01 --pdf xmldir.xml (I've tried also : texmfstart newtexexec.rb --autopdf --pdf --mode=colorscheme-red --root=K:/Mesdoc/cours/05-teb-0506/000_zip-tout --xml --use=dir-01 --pdf xmldir.xml : without success) ---------- TIA for any answer -- Olivier TURLIER CRP La Rouguière 101 Bd des Libérateurs 13367 MARSEILLE CEDEX 11 tel : (33) 04 91 18 56 00

mptopdf problems
by Thomas A. Schmitz 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi all, I'm struggling with a new installation here on my MacBook. One problem I have is that mptopdf bails out when I have textext code in my mpgraphics. There were a couple of similar problems in the mailing list a while back, but no real solution. When I compare the mpgraph.log output from this new install with the output from a good installation, these are the diffs I get: -(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) **test-mpgraph.mp (test-mpgraph.mp -{randomseed:=33} -write0 = `test-mpgraph.mpo'. +{randomseed:=3203} -write0 = `test-mpgraph.mpt'. +! Extra tokens will be flushed. +<to be read again> + @@@ +<argument> ...font [MyAGaramondPrempnum,11pt] "@@@ + string.contextversion +graphictextdirective->...graphictextstring&(TEXT0) + &CRLF; +<to be read again> + ; +l.19 string contextversion; + +? x - [1] -metafun 2006-10-30 22:30 - ) -1 output file written: test-mpgraph.1 From what I've understood, metapost seems to be calling the wrong text (tex instead of texexec), but where can this be fixed? The configuration on both installations is identical (write 18 enabled, identical cont-sys.tex). Thanks Thomas

I am, in fact, using the ruby script; I just find the --version output of the perl variant much clearer; that's why I use it just for verification of the formats etc. Thanks again! Thomas

texmfstart not recognizing $page

Hi Hans, In the latest beta texmfstart --page=1 --file=metafun-p.pdf does not work.

I fail to understand why $page is expanding to '' rather than 2 (or 0 in the second case). Aditya

character width
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hi, for fine-adjusting I need to have a variable horizontal space sometimes the width of "999" sometimes of "1", for example. Is there a command that reads the width of a character so it can be used in some kind of horizontal space? Steffen
