MathML test suite feedback
by nico 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hello, I've compiled with ConTeXt a large excerpt from the MathML 2.0 Test Suite (http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite) and I encountered the following problems (test cases attached): - Percentage in tag attributes are not correctly handled (seem to be seen as tex comments) and make context crashes. - mfenced with empty separators doesn't work. - Using different brackets in <mo> doesn't work. - I don't know if it's a local install problem, but some fonts are not found when using UTF encoding. This said, only 6% (41/657) of the tests fails, which is an excellent rate. BTW, if someone is interested in the big context file containing all the tests, just tell me. I can also send the perl script used to generate this doc. Regards, BG

Question and Answer blocks -- by section

All, Almost what I want. But I just want to unhide the blocks for the section at the end of each section. What is the best strategy here. Should I just make a set of blocks with different names for each section? %output=pdf \starttext \setupindenting[medium,yes] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupcolors[state=start] \defineenumeration[question] \setupenumerations [question] [location=inleft, text={\color[blue]\bgroup}, stopper={.\egroup}, way=bysection, sectionnumber=no] \defineenumeration[answer] \setupenumerations [answer] [location=inleft, text={\color[blue]\bgroup}, stopper={.\egroup}, way=bysection, sectionnumber=no] \defineblock[question,answer] \hideblocks[answer] \chapter{First Chapter} \dorecurse{1}{\input tufte\par} \section{First Section} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte\par} \section{Exercises} \startcolumns[n=2] \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \stopcolumns \section{Answers} \startcolumns[n=2] \selectblocks[answer] \stopcolumns \section{Second Section} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte\par} \section{Exercises} \startcolumns[n=2] \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \stopcolumns \section{Answers} \startcolumns[n=2] \selectblocks[answer] \stopcolumns \section{Third Section} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte\par} \section{Exercises} \startcolumns[n=2] \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \beginquestion \startquestion What is the square root of $\pi$? \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer $\sqrt{\pi}$ \stopanswer \endanswer \stopcolumns \section{Answers} \startcolumns[n=2] \selectblocks[answer] \stopcolumns \stoptext

For example, section 1 might end with exercise #15, then section 2 begins with exercise #16. How can I reset the numbers to start with #1 in section 2?

Installation: TeX-Live
by Jeffrey Drake 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

i resolved my problem before about accessing the wiki by making a copy of everything while at a friends house. So any information leading to a conclusion is at least a week old. I am on a linux install (SuSE 10.0) and the wiki indicates to install ConTeXt in the location '/usr/TeX/texmf'. Even before this step it says to setup the fonts for ConTeXt use: cd /usr/TeX/texmf/context/data sudo texfont type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --fontroot=/usr/TeX/texmf --install --makepath But TeXLive 2005 (where I did install ConTeXt - but want to update it) that I am using does not have a 'texmf/context' directory. However, there is a 'texmf-dist/context' directory. I need some guidance to make sure this is the proper directory or not. The only other thing I note in the TeXLive docs: For texmf: This tree (texmf) is for the support files and documentation of the programs in TeX Live. It does not include the TeX formats and packages themselves. Another criteria: everything that can be classified automatically by Fabrice's tpm-factory goes in texmf-dist. If not, it goes in texmf. For texmf-dist: This tree (texmf-dist) is for the formats (plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and all the rest) and all the packages, together with their documentation and sources. Most everything used in day-to-day TeXing, except the binaries themselves. Another criteria: everything that can be classified automatically by Fabrice's tpm-factory goes in texmf-dist (or texmf-doc). If not, it goes in texmf. And yet another: texmf-dist should be distribution-independent, so that, in theory, it could be used by distributions other than TeX Live. So, no web2c/kpathsea-specific files. Thank you for all assistance, Jeffrey Drake

assembling typescript
by Karsten Heymann 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, after Patrick Gundlach convinced me at DANTE 2006 to switch the small scientific magazine project I'm currently working on for a client from LaTeX co ConTeXt, I'm now preparing a sample document for my client to convince him, and for that I need your help :) I've spent the last two weeks getting in touch wich context and I must say I'm really impressed, nice work! First challenge is that the document fonts are URW GaramondNo8 for the text and Bitstream Futura (really: Bitstream Geometric 211) for the headings. I managed quite easyly to install them with texfont and the instructions from the contextgarden wiki[1] and compile the sample document with either font family. But now I'm trying to (1) understand the typescript files and (2) build an own typescript putting those fonts together. This is what I have so far: \usetypescriptfile[type-ugm] \usetypescriptfile[type-bfu] \starttypescript [ifa][texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [rm] [serif] [garamond] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [ss] [sans] [futura] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[ifa][texnansi] %\ifa \starttext \ss \input knuth \rm \input knuth \stoptext (type-ugm.tex and type-bfu.tex are attached). What happens is: When I compile the file a is it is set in computer modern. To enable my fonts I have to comment out \starttypescript, \stoptypescript and \usetypescript and enable \ifa. How do I activate my fonts via a typescript.
