Figure. 3
by David Arnold 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

All, Anyone know how to get a period after Figure in figure caption. I tried: \setupcaptions[separator=.] \starttext \placefigure [][fig:one] {Caption.} {\externalfigure[blank]} \stoptext And \let\floatcaptionsuffix=. \starttext \placefigure [][fig:one] {Caption.} {\externalfigure[blank]} \stoptext Neither worked.

Problem with \typefile
by John R. Culleton 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

I use the lines: \typefile {samp.tex}{samp.tex} \page[yes] \stoptext % For debugging purposes The file samp.tex contains ascii tex from the sample files knuth, zapf and tufte, concluded by the single tag \bye. The document compiles fine and displays fine in xpdf or kpdf (Linux). But Acrobat Reader 7.0 (Linux) comes up with the message "there was a problem with this document" and displays two blank pages instead. It will however display the rest of the document if the \stoptext statement above is removed. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

splitting a pdf into multiple volumes
by Ralf Schmitt 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hi all, I'm trying to split a large document for printing to multiple volumes/books. The first volume should contain a table of contents (but no index/list of figures), the second volume should have consecutive pagenumbers, and the last volume should contain an index and the list of figures of all books. Is this possible with context? TIA, - Ralf

ConTeXt, Charts, and transparency
by Idris Samawi Hamid 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Dear fellow gangsters, 2 questions: QUESTION 1) Does ConTeXt have a graphical charts module, a la flowcharts module? If not, are there some examples of graphical charts done in ConTeXt anywhere? Please see the attached png for what I have in mind. I did find a module m-steps, but the enclosed example crashes, so I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for... ============================= % output=pdf interface=en \usemodule[m-steps] % A simple paragraph-flow test: \starttext \startbuffer \startSTEPchart \cells {A} {B} \cells {one} {five} \texts{$+2$}{$-2$} \cells {two} {four} \texts{$+3$}{$-3$} \cells {three} {three} \texts{$+4$}{$-4$} \cells {four} {two} \texts{$+5$}{$-5$} \cells {five} {one} \stopSTEPchart \stopbuffer \getbuffer \startnarrower \getbuffer \stopnarrower \placefigure[left]{}{} \getbuffer \stoptext ============================= log file: ============================= (chart-test-mpgraph.mp (c:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-local/metapost/context/base/mp-step .mp) >> (0.5,0.5,0.5) >> 2.5 !

ImageMagick does not work well at all. I need it in a document with a colored background.

too much space because of margin notes
by Mojca Miklavec 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hello, I would like to write a note in the margin next to some framed formula, but I guess that the formula starts a new paragraph and there's too much space left on the top of the frame. How can I fix that? \starttext \startframedtext \inmargin{some text in margin} \placeformula \startformula a+b=c \stopformula How can I get rid of that space? \stopframedtext \stoptext Thank you very much, Mojca

texshow-web
by Patrick Gundlach 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hi there, I've updated texshow-web. It's a complete rewrite. This is now database driven and I have tried hard to preserve all comments and examples from the old texshow-web. Please report any errors (preferrable include me in cc: if you post them on the list). Please fill in descriptions for the commands! Other contexters will find this useful. You can now use most of the mediawiki wiki markup for editing the descriptions. See the help page for more information.

Rescaling pages
by Olaf Mersmann 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hi List, I have a booklet typset on A5 paper with an A5 pagesize (one page per sheet). The printer-shop wants the pages enlarged to A4, so that they can scale them back down to A5 and imposition 2 on an A4 sheet. Don't ask me why they want this. I don't know. Is it possible to easily do this from within context or what are my options? Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely, Olaf

tempdir support in texexec.rb
by Matthias Wächter 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hi, Naively, I thought that the --tempdir option would allow the 'temporary' files created/updated at a run of texexec be written to whatever is given as --tempdir=/dir/, but it doesn't work, the files remain in the current directory. Additionally, --output seems to disallow the output be put into another directory (it's always put into `pwd`). Is there a (better?) way to specify where these files should go? What I'd expect is a directory layout like the following: files/ onesource.tex env.tex othersource.tex project.tex out/ project.pdf tmp/ project.tmp project.log project.tui project.tuo mpgraph.mp project-mpgraph.mp as a result of $ cd files/ $ texexec --pdf --tempdir=tmp --output=out/project.pdf project Is /me the only one who desires such a split? - Matthias

switching font encodings
by Mojca Miklavec 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hello, I have to print plenty of utf-8-encoded entries from a database. I will probably output entries as \contestant{name}{country}{code}, for example \contestant{Đức Đặng}{VNM}{1} I have defined \def\contestant#1#2#3{...#1...} But what's the easiest way to change the encoding to t5 if the country code is VNM and to some other encoding if country code is RUS, SER (or one of other countries using Cyrillic)? I'll probably use \usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][ec] % for most of entries \setupbodyfont[antykwa] I wanted to use XeTeX, but that I figured out/remembered that XeTeX doesn't yet support inclusion of images which I need for this document. Thanks a lot, Mojca (I need this pretty soon.)
