04 Feb '06

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip The current release has version 2006.02.03. The total set of distributed files now consists of eight files; the zip containing a repackaging of cont-lmt.zip and the zip containing pattern files have been deleted. The zip with windows font support has merged with the remaining zip with font metrics. A very short list of changes is given below. As usual, there is an html page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes New major features since 2006.01.12: * Support for typesetting in japanese * A set of new higher-level math commands (alignments and arrays) * Support for fonts with kerns around quotation characters Bug fixes since 2006.01.12: * mptopdf now behaves correctly on cygwin * fix for (page) floats in columnsets mode * lots of small fixes Happy TeXing, Taco

by David Arnold 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

All, How do you configure Scite to go to the error? Pressing "e" currently dumps me into Notepad. Or is there other functionality I am missing? David Arnold College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department Eureka, CA 95501 (707) 476-4222 http://online.redwoods.edu/instruct/darnold/

SciTE and TeXLive
by Hooman Javidnia 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi, Are the SciTE configuration files on Windows only supposed to work with MikTeX or do they work with other implementations as well? Do I have to copy all language .properties files even though I am going to use only English? Do I have to modify any .properties files, if I want to load only cont-en-scite.properties? Sincerely, Hooman Javidnia, Ph.D. Candidate Dept. of Electrical & Computer Eng. The University of Western Ontario

Scite and wrapping
by David Arnold 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi, What tips can folks give me about wrapping in Scite? A. Starting with a blank document. B. Starting with a document that is not wrapped (lots of long lines). In particular, is there a way to wrap a document while still preserving stuff like: \placeformula[-] \startformula \eqalign{ f(x)&=x^2-2x-3\cr f(x)&=(x-3)(x+1)} \stopformula David Arnold College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department Eureka, CA 95501 (707) 476-4222 http://online.redwoods.edu/instruct/darnold/

Paragraph itemization
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

How can one do paragraph itemization in context. I want \startitemize[r][left=(,right=),stopper=] %paragraph option somehow \item The first thing, \item the second thing, and \item finally, the last thing. \stopitemize to come up as (i) The first thing, (ii) the second thing, and (iii) finally, the last thing. Being lazy, I want to ConText to do the numbering for me :-) Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008
