Conflict with chapter definition and header
by Confused Scientist 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hello, I'm trying to put together a couple of examples I found in the ConTeXt manual, the wiki and the maling list archive. Unfortunately, I've broken my headers/footers in the process. What I am trying to do is have a double-sided layout where (at the beginning of each chapter) a famous quote is given on the left page and the chapter begins on the right. I do not want any header/footer on the left, but I would like the footer (page number) on the right. My problem is that I cannot seem to control the page headers and footers for the left/right chapter page. Also, I cannot seem to get the section name to reliably appear after using setupheadertexts? I am using: TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) context : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 cont-en : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 fmt: 2006.2.10 mes: english cont-nl : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 fmt: 2006.2.10 mes: dutch total run time : 9 seconds and below is an example of what I have.

"e" sends error to bbedit
by David Arnold 04 Aug '06

All, I have an error here: \setupcolors[state=start] \startuniqueMPgraphic{demo circle} path p; p:=fullcircle xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight; fill p with color .85whwite; draw p withpen pencircle scaled 2pt withcolor .625red; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[demo circle][\uniqueMPgraphic{demo circle}] \starttext \input tufte \framed[background=demo circle]{This text is overlayed.} \input tufte \stoptext When I press "e" at the question prompt when the compiles stop, vi opens the file overlay-mpgraph.mp and deposits me at the end of this file. What I'd rather have is to be taken to the line in overlay.tex in bbedit. I tried this in my .bash_profile: export TEXEDIT="bbedit +%d %s" To no avail. Any other Mac users on this list have bbedit set up correctly?

All this smartness is nice, if things work. In the other cases smartness is a jungle and it would be easier to check a dumb but simple list of set commands. These batch-files for example are not smart enough to recognize if they are running under the right command- prozessor and a normal windows 98 user might be very helpless what had gone wrong. But the settings in scite had to be altered too. Wolfgang

Specify the part/chapter number
by Confused Scientist 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hello, I'm working on a project with a few other people and we are each responsible for writing a single chapter/component of a larger document. I am, for example, responsible for chapters 2 and 6. Unfortunately, when I run pdftex on my component, the chapter number always begins from 1 which means all my sections, equations, figures, and tables are all numbered as 1.x.x.x. Is there a way to force a component to use a different chapter number? Thanks, James

setupcaptions
by Thomas A. Schmitz 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

There has been a discussion about this three months ago, but I can't figure it out: I have \setupcaptions[separator={:}] in my document and would expect something like "figure 1: a figure," but I don't get a colon, the same for stopper={:}. Isn't this supposed to work? Thomas

Newbie installation problems

Hello, I've just installed teTex and Context packages (no previous installations). When I run texexec on a sample file (\starttext \framed{Does it work?} \stoptext), texexec stops with the following lines: > bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded > kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr12 > mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12 > This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) > > kpathsea: Running mktexmf ec-lmr12 > !

I suppose it's a font problem, but where can I find these fonts, and how should I install them ? I also have a problem with "texexec --version" which reports: > TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 > > texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 > texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2006 > tex : unknown > context : ver: 2006.07.28 23:56 > cont-en : unknown > cont-cz : unknown > cont-de : unknown > cont-nl : unknown > cont-uk : unknown > > total run time : 1 seconds > > warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead Can anybody help me ?

I have running the standalone-context here on WindowsME. I have modifyed the original batch-files a bit and I had to adapt some entrys in scite, where cmd.exe is called. (btw isn't it possible to call the command interpreter via COMMSPEC? So the whole thing is not depending on the command interpreter.) Wolfgang

whitespace and paragraphs
by Hans van der Meer 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

This I don't get right about whitespace between paragraphs made with \defineparagraphs. \starttext \setupwhitespace[none] a\par b\par c\par % the above close spaced thus behaving as expected % these do not obey setupwhitespace[none]: \defineparagraphs[param][n=2,before={\setupwhitespace[none]}] \setupparagraphs[param][1][width=2cm] \startparam first \param {\sl contents} \stopparam \startparam second \param {\sl contents} \stopparam % I tried other things, remembering a recent question about a similar problem with framed texts. % Neither of the following made a difference: \defineparagraphs[param][n=2,before={\setupwhitespace[none]}] \setupparagraphs[param][1][width=2cm,before={\setupwhitespace[none]}] \setupparagraphs[param][2][before={\setupwhitespace[none]}] % height=... seems not to influence the distance between the paragraphs \stoptext How can one for these paragraphs the wanted distance apart?
