On tikz
by Idris Samawi Hamid 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

A note to the gang: Although the manual indicates otherwise the tikz module apparently needs the keyval package to work: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval/ and the directory structure of the zip needs to be changed so that it's easier to install (just dumping into /texmf-local and running mktexlsr does not work). Maybe someone on the wiki can make ConTeXt packages?

strange text/math spacing
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hi, I found a small but annoying thing about math. When I typeset in-line formula like '...a vector of $a_x$ is...', it creates too little space between 'of' and succeeding lowercase math symbol.Uppercase math symbol is treated right. I can leave it as it is, but it strange to me why TeX performs poor on that. (There too many 'of' for testing purposes). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext In MATLAB, we can create the Leslie matrix using {\tt gallery('leslie', A, B)} command, where of $A$ is a vector of $a_x$ with dimensions of $[1:X]$ and of $B$ is a vector of \mathematics{b_x} with dimensions of $[1:X-1]$. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Best, Vyatcheslav

tex live and context
by Hans Hagen 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hi, If you update your tex to the latest tex live cq. debian, also get the latest latin modern http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download (you don't need the context related zip there; i need that for older setups) TeX Live ships with incomplete map files.

Forcing pictures to stay in sections
by Kumar Appaiah 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Dear ConTeXt users, I would like to do something like this: I have a couple of sections in my page, and some graphics (fairly big, each 1/4th of the page size, say) to be laid out in the sections. Now, there are some sections in which one of the pictures is laid out on one page with some text, but there isn't place to get the image on the same page. So, the image is put on the next page. However, if I start a new section, the image appears under the new section (that is, after the new section heading), which I don't want. How do I enforce the picture to be laid out before the next section heading? One simple way to do it would be to force a new page before a section, but I want to save that space! :-) Thanks.

Problems with "mathalign"
by Mojca Miklavec 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

Hello, I wanted to keep Aditya busy now that he finished his wonderful new module ;), so ... I first wanted to ask how to number subformulas in a certain way, but that I figured out that numbering is already causing some problems on its own. Consider the following examples: \starttext This is almost OK, but has one formula number too much here: \startbuffer \placeformula \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=3cm] a & =b & A & =B \\ c & =d & C & =D \\ \stopalign \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer This results in a very weird formula numbering \startbuffer \placeformula \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=3cm] \NC a \NC =b \NC A \NC =B \NR \NC c \NC =d \NC C \NC =D \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer Adding [+] helps, but than we have the same problem as at the beginning: \startbuffer \placeformula \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=3cm] \NC a \NC =b \NC A \NC =B \NR[+] \NC c \NC =d \NC C \NC =D \NR[+] \stopalign \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer Without placeforumla, but with [+] we don't get any numbering at all: \startbuffer \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=3cm] \NC a \NC =b \NC A \NC =B \NR[+] \NC c \NC =d \NC C \NC =D \NR[+] \stopalign \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \stoptext CtxTools | context version: 2006.12.27 11:34 (After running "ctxtools --update" I just managed to break everything.) Any clue? Thanks, Mojca
