Scanning the recent issue of the MAPS (Dutch NTG user group magazine) I encountered the interesting article about experiences with the development of luatex and friends. Especially the possibility of having protocols http:// and file:// as input source seems promising. Allow me to suggest another opportunity here: the inclusion of svn:// as a source. I myself store my important tex and metapost sources in a svn repository in order to keep track of versions and branches in an efficient manner. Others might want to do the same. It therefore would be nice if tex typesetting could directly access those repositories through the svn:// protocol too. Maybe Taco and Hans feel challenged.... dr. H. van der Meer

New Debian context package based on context release 061207
by Norbert Preining 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hi all! I have created a new context package 2006.12.07-0.1 for Debian and would like to hear your comments and test. No big changes: * new upstream * suggest fontforge, and let texfont call fontforge instead of pfaedit * add dpatch build-dep and adjust rules As usual available from deb(-src) http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ context/ There seem to be some deep changes in the upstream packaging, as various map files are now missing from the cont-tmf.zip file.

indenting of first paragraph in (sub)section
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

Hello, I' trying to figure out why \setupindenting[first,medium,yes] does not indents the FIRST paragraph of a section or subsection. An example follows. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------- \setupbodyfont[lbr,11pt] \setuppapersize[A4] \setuplayout[width=17cm,height=28cm, topspace=1cm, header=1cm, footer=1cm, location=middle] \setupitemize[n,joinedup] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[first,medium,yes] \showframe \starttext \section{INTRODUCTION} \subsection{Rationale} Anyone who has been around the computer industry for a decade or more is well aware of this phenomenon: machines are getting exponentially more powerful per unit cost, yet users do not perceive this improvement in the applications that they purchase. For example, while word processors are clearly faster today than they were 21 years ago, they aren't 16,384 times faster as Moore's Law would suggest. Part of the problem, of course, is that some of the additional processing power has been employed to support new features (such as a bit-mapped display), but a large part of the reason software users aren't seeing an increase in speed is because many of today's programmers don't take the time to write efficient software, or they simply {\it don't know} how to write fast code. \stoptext -- С наилучшими пожеланиями, Vyatcheslav mailto:yatskovsky@gmail.com

\head and pagebreak
by Idris Samawi Hamid 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

Dear gang, Is there a way to absolutely forbid a pagebreak between \head and its following paragraph? [intro] tries hard but sometimes fails. I tried \setupitemize[each] [inmargin,autointro] \setuptolerance[vertical,stretch] but I still get pagebreaks.

reference to \starttyping
by andrea valle 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

Hi to all, I'm typesetting a manual for a programming language. I'm inserting long excerpts from code and I have my nice line numbers as explained by the wiki. Code is inserted using \startcode\stopcode mechanism (I have two type of starttyping). I cannot understand how to refer to these code blocks. I mean, I need to have something like this: "in the code at page xxx, ...". I guess it's simple but seems I cannot solve. Many thanks -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea andrea.valle(a)unito.it

\startquotation, \cite and footnotes
by Oliver Buerschaper 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

Hi, I've been wondering whether someone (perhaps Taco?) can give me a hint on the following: 1. Is there an automated way to place citations into footnotes? So whenever I use \cite in the running text it should produce a footnote with the reference alongside the usual footnotes. However, when \cite is invoked within a footnote it should just type out the reference inline (in the footnote, of course ;-). So far I've done this manually with \footnote{\cite{key}} (which at times produced its own strange results like two footnote blocks on the same page). 2. When typesetting a quotation block I'd like to add a reference directly after the closing quotation marks. However, including the \cite command before \stopquotation places the reference before the closing marks, and moving \cite out of the \start \stop block makes the reference appear on a new line ... Any help highly appreciated! Cheers, Oliver

Re: [NTG-context] prodint typescripts remove style
by M.J. Kallen 08 Dec '06

Through trial and error, I've been able to solve the problem mentioned below. I used \setupbodyfont[reset,modern,serif,10pt] instead of \setupbodyfont[reset,modern,10pt]. The additional "serif" option does the trick. Maarten-Jan ----- Original Message ---- From: M.J.

How to use text Calligraphic font using \definefont
by Aditya Mahajan 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

Hi, I have the following font definitions, \usetypescriptfile [type-gyr] \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [kurier] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [euler] [euler] [encoding=texnansi,rscale=1.03] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [boldface] [mm] [boldmath] [euler] [euler] [encoding=texnansi,rscale=1.03] \setupbodyfont[mainface,11pt] I want to use the Calligraphic font font for headers etc, so I tried \definefont[BigText] [Calligarphic sa 2] \BigText test which gives me the math calligraphic fonts. How do I get the text calligraphic fonts, using \definefont? Another question which is slightly OT: Is there a free handwriting font that matches with palatino? I am making a presentation and would like to write somethings in a "informal" font. Any suggestions? Thanks, Aditya
