Sorry it's me again who's breaking the bad news... Today's release seems to have a bug; newtexexec won't run. Here's the output I get: newtexexec.rb beredsamkeit.tex TeXExec | processing document 'beredsamkeit.tex' TeXExec | provide ctx file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb: 1249:in `processfile'TeXExec | option 'filename' is set to 'beredsamkeit.tex' TeXExec | option 'mainlanguage' is set to 'standard' TeXExec | option 'bodyfont' is set to 'standard' TeXExec | option 'language' is set to 'standard' TeXExec | option 'engine' is set to 'standard' TeXExec | option 'distribution' is set to 'web2c' TeXExec | option 'texformats' is set to 'standard' TeXExec | option 'mpsformats' is set to 'metafun' TeXExec | option 'progname' is set to 'context' TeXExec | option 'interface' is set to 'standard' TeXExec | option 'runs' is set to '8' TeXExec | option 'backend' is set to 'standard' : undefined local variable or method `verbose' for #<TEX:0x27d9a4> (NameError) from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ base/tex.rb:826:in `processtex' from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ base/tex.rb:823:in `each' from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ base/tex.rb:823:in `processtex' from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ newtexexec.rb:65:in `process' from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ newtexexec.rb:55:in `main' from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ newtexexec.rb:632:in `send' from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ newtexexec.rb:632 Any obvious fix?

BIB Module + Bibtex + Cite + Uppercase and Lowercase
by Miguel Queiros 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hello, I'm using the BIB module, and a Bibtex bib file, and I'm facing the following problem: I need to have the Bibliography generated so that the author name is typeset with uppercase so I'm using something like: @Misc{iosn:free_open_source_education, author = {Tan Wooi \uppercase{Tong}}, title = {{\underbar{Free/Open Source Software Education}}}, [...] } But when using \cite I need the author name to be typeset in lowercase like this: Tong (2004). I tried using \Word{\cite[authoryear][iosn:free_open_source_education]\} but I got an error. Does anyone knows how can I get it right ? Thank you! Miguel Queirós

ConTeXt + FEATPOST
by Renaud AUBIN 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hi all, I'm trying to use FEATPOST with ConTeXt so I have used in my product the following code: \startuseMPgraphic{simplefeatpost} input featpost3Dplus2D; cartaxes(1,1,1); draw tropicalglobe(5,black,1,blue); \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure[here][fig:featpost]{featpost}{\useMPgraphic{simplefeatpost}} but I obtain the following error althought the pdf output is correct... (/usr/local/texlive/2005/texmf-dist/metapost/featpost/featpost3Dplus2D.mp Preloading FeatPost macros, version 0.6.7) >> vacuous ! Improper `addto'. <to be read again> withpen draw->...:also(EXPR0)else:doublepath(EXPR0)withpen .currentpen.fi._op_ <to be read again> ; l.124 draw tropicalglobe(5,black,1,blue); Seems to be a problem between ConTeXt and FEATPOST... In my opinion, it's a problem due to the fact that featpost use the type 'color' for 3D coordinates. I will try to see if I can solve this problem by myself but if you have already encountered it, you know what to do... ;-) Cheers, Renaud

02 Feb '06

I've written a new style but it won't load with \usemodule[race]. Error: system : module race not found File: s-race.tex File is in the search path How can I get this style to load? Do I have to register it with ConTeX? If so, how do I do that? Thanks in advance, Elliot

page float in columnset
by Vit Zyka 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hi wizards, let me go back to columnsets. I try to place a float spanning the whole page area. When doing that the running text placing exactly one page is completely and forever lost! Please see example: ----------------------------------------- \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext \startcolumnset \dorecurse{4}{#1 --- \input knuth \blank\endgraf} \placefigure[here]{none}{% \framed [width=\makeupwidth,height=\textheight,offset=overlay] {Page float.}} \dorecurse{10}{#1 --- \input knuth \blank\endgraf} \stopcolumnset \stoptext ------------------------------------------- Switching here -> page, tops, ... does not solve the problem. The similar behaviour is observed when a float has one column width and fit the whole column height. Is there some solution or another way how to do that and preserve the text? Thanks Vit

definebodyfont vs. definebodyfontenvironment
by Thomas A. Schmitz 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Dear wizards of ConTeXt, may I bother you with a small question about my typescripts (yes, that is a minor obsession with me...). I have two fonts defined in typescripts, font bar is scaled at a certain factor to match the size of font foo. If I specify an "unusual" size for the bodyfont (say 19.5pt), I have to put these lines in my preamble: \definebodyfontenvironment[19.5pt] \starttypescript [serif] [default] [size] \definebodyfont [19.5pt] [rm] [default] \stoptypescript and I get the output I want, but alas, not in the footnotes: there, font bar is not scaled. Would it help to add the size of the footnote font in these definitions explicitly? And what would this size be (I thought it was "small" which should default to 19.5/1.2=13.83, but adding 13.8pt didn't work)? I tried to read font-ini.tex, but this line {\doifdefined{\s!default########1####1} made my head explode... Thanks, and best Thomas

by Matthias Weber 02 Feb '06

Hello, I'd like to include a short quote in classical greek with all diacritics in a ConTeXt document which is otherwise plain english. What is a good way of doing this? Do I need to change the encoding? Thanks, Matthias

setupframedtexts
by Hans van der Meer 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

I guess I am getting a left margin when I enclose some text in a \framedtext and want to get rid of it. The manual gives as settable parameter "margin = standard,yes,no. However there is no visible effect when using "margin=no" in the setup. Inspecting the code for setupframedtexts I could not foun something like \c!margin. Is this an obsolete parameter? Or will it be implemented. yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

How can I reset the height of a row in \bTABLE..\eTABLE?
by Pearson, Mark (Capita Symonds) 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

Hello All, The example below shows two tables. The first table has the height of its 1st row explicitly set, which then carries over to the second table causing the content to overflow the boundaries of the table. My question: Is there a way to either a) reset the row height for the second table using something like \setupTABLE[r][1][height=auto] or b) set the minimum height of a row e.g. \setupTABLE[r][1][minheight=3ex] so that the height is able to expand if necessary? I found a macro named \resetallTABLEparameters but it doesn't seem to have the desired effect. Thanks in advance, Mark Pearson \starttext \setupTABLE[r][1][height=1.5\lineheight] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD Cell 1 \eTD \bTD Cell 2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[2*big] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD This is a table cell with a long section of text in it which I sincerely hope is going to force the table to resize accordingly \eTD \bTD This is another table cell with some text in it too \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext ********************************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may be subject to legal privilege, and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
