How to make this section header in ConTeXt?
by Jeroen Heijmans 18 Jun '06

18 Jun '06

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt, but so far most things I wanted to do turned out to be quite easy. However, now I'm trying to make a particular section heading, but I can't get it right: |---------------------------------------------| | SECTION HEADING Key 1 Value 1 | | Key 2 Value 2 | | Key 3 Value 3 | | Key 4 Value 4 | | Text Key 5 Value 5 | |---------------------------------------------| Or in text, a box containing a section heading in the left top, some additional text in the left bottom, and a table with pairs of values on the right side of the box. Getting a box with a section heading and some text was easy enough, but I couldn't get the table where and how I wanted it. I also tried to do all of it in a table, but I got errors when trying to put a \section in the table. Any suggestion on how to do this will be highly appreciated. thanks, Jeroen Heijmans

Undefined control sequence.

Hi, for a large project I defined names for a lot of persons like \global\def\PIDacht{Militzer, Hermann Paul (8)} \global\def\PIDeinsacht{Militzer, Johann Wilhelm Hermann (16)} \global\def\PIDdreidrei{Militzer, Henriette (33)} \global\def\PIDachtviervieracht{Militzer, Adam (8448)} \starttext \PIDachtviervieracht is ok but \section[UkPID8A]{\PIDacht\ -- Allgemein} does not work! \stoptext I get: (./FamMilitzerUrkunden.tuo) (./FamMilitzerUrkunden.tuo ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \PIDacht \ -- Allgemein \sanitizePDFdocencoding ...docencoding \edef #2{#1 } \doPDFinsertbookmark ...oding #3\to \bookmarktext \stripstring \bookmarktext... <argument> \flushbookmark \dodoputbookmarkelement {\v! section }{3}{2}{\PIDei... \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 l.14 ...sacht \ -- Geburt}{1::0:0:2:0:0:0:0::1}{7} ? !

Beta Bibliography module
by Taco Hoekwater 17 Jun '06

17 Jun '06

Hi all, I've just released a beta of the bibliography module for testing. It can be downloaded from http://modules.contextgarden.net/bib as usual, and the version is now 2006.06.16 News, compared to the previous (April 11) version that is in the core distribution: * Better support for per-chapter bibliographic lists (citations now repeat in each chapter) * The \lang (LANGUAGE) database field is now honoured (if the content is a valid ConTeXt language, that is) * \biburl fields are now typeset using \hyphenatedurl * \month field conversion can now be controlled through \setuppublication[monthconversion=] * The module now uses \undefinedreference for undefined references * \usemodule[bibltx] provides \newcommand for legacy databases * Documentation updated (\nocite is documented now) Have fun, Taco

tex4ht and utf-8
by Piotr Kopszak 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Hello, It seems tex4ht's ConTeXt support is in the very early infancy, but I was able to convert a simple ConTeXt file into acceptable html using "htcontext" command. The only problem is encoding. Is there any way to get the same utf-8 encoding as in the source file? Piotr

texmfstart trouble
by Hans van der Meer 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Recently I reported 2 problems related to metapost usage: 1. the loss of transparent color handling 2. textext not being able to handle %'s as in textext("15\%") The source of both problems can be nailed down to the one change in supp-mps.tex: \ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texmfstart texexec} \fi If I understand correctly, this effectuates a change from the perl to the ruby scripts. Removing the texmfstart solves the problem. I compared two runs for the transparency problem in order to see if there is some clue: 1. Both mp-files turn out being the same (except for the random seed). 2. The mpgraph.1 files differ only slightly, except for a few roundoff differences: new format extra lines: (but not a problem, I would guess) %%MetaPostSpecials: 2.0 123 1000 %%HiResBoundingBox: -5.66927 -5.66927 359.9991 119.05481 %%MetaPostSpecial: 7 1 1 1 1 0.94118 1 3 I had in my .bashrc: CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTS=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/scripts/ context/ruby/ export CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTS and had CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTS in my path. Carefully had the executable and read-allowance bits set on all the ruby scripts. I guess it must have something to do with the ruby scripts, probably MacOSX unique, I fear. Something done differently with regard to the perl scripts perhaps? Taco already hinted at the possibility of some end-of-line problem. Alas, my knowledge of ruby is nonexistent, so I have no idea what and where to look for. I tried hard to find a solution, but I really have no firm idea what could cause these problems.

extra white in framedtext
by Hans van der Meer 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

I did want to typeset material within framedtext with some white before and after each line. Appropriate for this seems to me: \null\quad material \quad\null\crlf etc.; the preceding \null preventing disappearence of the first \quad. The strange thing is that the \null in the first line induces an extra vertical whitespace between the top of the frame and the first line inside the frame. An impression of the result: ----------------------- | | with \null in first line | first line | | second line | ----------------------- ----------------------- | first line | without \null in first line | second line | ----------------------- It seems counterintuitive to withhold the \null in the first line in order to have the framing correct. A minimal example on which I encountered this follows: \setupbodyfont[cmr] % gives extra vertical white \startframedtext[middle][width=fit] \null\quad\type{extra vertical space}\quad\null\crlf \null\quad\type{normal vertical space}\quad\null \stopframedtext % normal vertical white \startframedtext[middle][width=fit] \quad\type{normal vertical space}\quad\null\crlf \null\quad\type{normal vertical space}\quad\null \stopframedtext \stoptext Does this occur elsewhere too? Is it normal behaviour of framedtext? Hans van der Meer

CoNTeXt on Mac OS X with iinstaller still broken
by Matthias Weber 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Dear Mac-ConTeXt users (and other experts), I typically upgrade my least used Mac (my laptop) to the newest ConTeXt release first, and only go ahead with the desktop when my projects compile fine. Otherwise, I usually wait until the more proficient users have sorted things out. Now, for a while, the iinstaller ConTeXt version has been broken. While there have been numerous reports and workaround and fixes on this list, it would be most convenient to have iinstaller working again (or another foolproof solution). For reference, I attach the log file for \starttext ffi \stoptext which shows that ligatures aren't shown. Thanks in advance!
