many "unknown reference" with the beta
by Gerben Wierda 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

With ConTeXt beta I get a lot of messages like > references : unknown reference [][fnt:f:1] > references : unknown reference [][fnt:t:2] > references : unknown reference [][fnt:f:2] and sometimes referring to a reallabel > references : unknown reference [][discrete:wave] What do these imply? I do not get them when using ConTeXt stable. G

All, I updated to Gerben's latest context and now files that formally compiled will not. Here's one error: The code: Let's look at another example. \startexample[exam:relT] Consider the relation $T$ defined by \placeformula[eq:rel2] \startformula T=\big\{(1,2), (3,2), (4,5)\big\}. \stopformula What is the domain and range of this relation?

sectionnumber conversion
by Idris Samawi Hamid 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Dear fellow gangsters, Consider the following test file; partnumber=on. I would like partnumber to be converted to capital roman numerals while the page numeral remains as an Arabic numeral. Viz., instead of 1--1, 1--2 etc. in the TOC and pagenumbers I would like I--1, I--2 etc. in the TOC and pagenumbers. Is there a command like \setupsectionnumbering[conversion=Romannumerals]? Then I would say, \setuppartnumbering[conversion=Romannumerals] The test file is below.

Re: [NTG-context] Mac OS X and texmfstart... [was: texmfstart newbie]

Hi Mojca, I did plant in the Garden the procedure for texmfstart: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mac_Installation#Configuration_of_texmfstart However I didn't know how to add nice (and useful) links to some words, when necessary. >For simplicity also create an executable file called "texexec" with >the content similar to >#!/bin/sh >texmfstart texexec I didn't get how to do this... Indeed I think (but probably I am wrong...) even if one creates such a file and make it executable, then, for scurity reasons, when Mac users copy it to their directory the resulting file loses its executable bit. Since I am very limited in the intrecacies of these security aspects if I understand what you intend I'll add the file you suggest. On the other hand are you sure one can replace "texexec" with a new command created with the file you suggest? Is it not "dangerous"? Thanks again for your help. Best regards: OK

Mac OS X and texmfstart... [was: texmfstart newbie]

Needless to say I feel very proud now :-) For all those who are shy like me (!) and don't dare ask too trivial questions, here is what one can do on Mac OS X (and, mutatis mutandis, probably on any Unix like system): 0) I have teTeX and ConTeXt installed (and updated quite often...) with Gerben Wierda's i-Installer. In principle there is a directory (folder...) named /usr/local/teTeX/bin/ if you have installed TeX in /usr/local. Otherwise with the command locate in a Terminal window find the directory teTeX/bin/. Here there should be a subdirectory named powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0 or something like that (depending on the type of the processor you have?). Go there, for instance in my case: cd powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0 2) Find the path to "texmfstart.rb": in the Terminal window type locate texmfstart.rb for instance on my system I have two "texmfstart.rb", /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb the second one is old, while the first one is recent and installed with Gerben's i-Installer. I assumed (remember we are willing to use ConTeXt...) that the newer one is the right one... 3) In the Terminal window (while you are in the directory powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0) type: sudo emacs texmfstart and after giving an su password, in the editor's window type the code given by Taco, that is the two following lines: #!/bin/sh ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb $@ 4) Save and exit emacs by typing [CTRL]-X [CTRL]-S and then [CTRL]-X [CTRL]-C 5) You have created a script named texmfstart... Now you have to make it executable, so in the Terminal window (while you are in the directory powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0) type sudo chmod +x texmfstart 6) Now if in any other Terminal window you type, for instance texmfstart or texmfstart --version you should get the version of texmfstart and a series of example usage. 7) If you go to a directory where you have a file named example.tex, then you can typeset it with ConTeXt by saying: texmfstart texexec example.tex and now you shouldn't have the "warning: use 'texmfstart texexe' instead". And you are done! Cheers: OK

emp.sty and metapost
by David Arnold 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

All, Not strictly a context question, but it has to do with Metapost, so maybe someone can help. I have a file of macros called qdftools.mp: numeric s; s=0.2; color gridlines; gridlines:=(s,s,s); def openbluedot(expr pos)= fill fullcircle scaled 4pt withcolor white; draw fullcircle scaed 4pt withcolor blue; enddef; def openreddot(expr pos)= fill fullcircle scaled 4pt withcolor white; draw fullcircle scaed 4pt withcolor red; enddef; def filledreddot(expr pos)= fill fullcircle scaled 4pt withcolor red; draw fullcircle scaed 4pt withcolor red; enddef; def filledbluedot(expr pos)= fill fullcircle scaled 4pt withcolor blue; draw fullcircle scaed 4pt withcolor blue; enddef; def vtick(expr pos)= draw ((0,-3)--(0,3)) shifted pos; enddef; def htick(expr pos)= draw ((-3,0)--(3,0)) shifted pos; enddef; def gridfivefive = for k=-5u step 1u until 5u: draw (-5u,k)--(5u,k) withcolor gridlines; draw (k,-5u)--(k,5u) withcolor gridlines; endfor; enddef; def xyaxesfivefive= drawdblarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0); label.rt(btex $x$ etex, (5u,0)); label.bot(btex $5$ etex, (5u,0)); drawdblarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u); label.top(btex $y$ etex, (0,5u)); label.lft(btex $5$ etex, (0,5u)); enddef; endinput; In the same directory as qdftools.mp, I have a file useemp.tex. Note that I am using the emp package. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{emp,ifpdf} \ifpdf \DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{mps}{*}{} \fi \setlength{\unitlength}{1cm} \begin{document} Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. \empprelude{input qdftools} \begin{empfile} \begin{empdef}[david](4,4) numeric u; 10u=3in; gridfivefive; xyaxesfivefive; \end{empdef} \end{empfile} \immediate\write18{mpost \jobname} \empuse{david} Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. \end{document} Now, here is what I fail to understand. If I compile useemp.tex with: pdflatex --shell-escape useemp Then all is well. I get a nice pdf file. However, if I change one line in the file useemp.tex, namely \immediate\write18{mpost \jobname} to: \immediate\write18{mpost -tex=latex \jobname} Then if I remove the file qdftools.mpx and compile useemp.tex with: pdflatex --shell-escape useemp Then I get: loading : Context Support Macros / PDF (2004.03.26) )This is MetaPost, Version 0.901 (Web2C 7.5.5) (useemp.mp (qdftools.mpnewer: target file `qdftools.mpx' doesn't exist. /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/makempx: Command failed: latex mpxerr.tex; see mpxerr.log >> qdftools.mp >> qdftools.mpx ! Unable to make mpx file. l.41 label.rt(btex $x$ etex, (5u,0)); Transcript written on useemp.log. Can anyone tell how to work around this problem? I know Context has much better support for labels, but I need to write this in Latex for our online testing system. http://scinux.redwoods.edu/cgi-bin/ online_s06/testing.cgi/

Difficulties using the r module
by Matthew Routley 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

I spotted the announcement of the use of R in ConTeXt and was quite interested in trying it out. However, so far I haven't been able to get it to work. It appears that R is not being called by texexec and the .tmp.out are not being found, despite the fact that they are being produced. Are there more details on installing and using this module? I think it would be quite useful. Thanks for any advice, Matt Some details are that I am using Mac OS X 10.4.7, R-2.3.1, and ConTeXt ver: 2006.06.28 from gwTeX and running the sample file contained in m-r.tex. I have also tried using context live @ contextgarden.net with the same results as on my personal machine. Here is some output from the log file: system : module r loaded (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/m-r.tex) ... systems : begin file r at line 11 <r-r-1.tmp> (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex) verbatim : file r-r-1.tmp.out does not exist <r-r-2.tmp> verbatim : file r-r-2.tmp.out does not exist <r-r-3.tmp> <r-r-4.tmp> verbatim : file r-r-4.tmp.out does not exist <r-r-5.tmp> verbatim : file r-r-5.tmp.out does not exist <r-r.tmp> (./r-r.tmp figures : figure ushape can not be found floatblocks : 1 placed ) <r-r-6.tmp> verbatim : file r-r-6.tmp.out does not exist <r-r.tmp> (./r-r.tmp figures : figure lattice can not be found floatblocks : 2 placed ) <r-r-7.tmp> verbatim : file r-r-7.tmp.out does not exist ...

table splitting in columns
by Henning Hraban Ramm 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

this used to work but doesn't since the (my) last update: \starttext \setupTABLE[split=repeat, frame=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][align=right] \setupTABLE[c][2][align=left, style=bf, width=4em] \startcolumns[n=2, balance=no] \bTABLE \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTD\bf Verzeichnis \eTD\bTD\hbox{Dateien}\eTD\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD Folder\eTD\bTD 1\eTD\eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stopcolumns \stoptext Instead of a table that flows in columns, it breaks only in pages.
