[Ann-context] ConTeXt Revisions
by Taco Hoekwater 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hi all, It has taken us a long time to get to this point, but I am glad to announce that the ConTeXt Revisions project that has been talked about for nearly two years now is finally available to the public. ConTeXt Revisions is two things: a museum of old ConTeXt release zips, as well as an incremental subversion repository. Currently it contains information of more than 110 releases of ConTeXt, dating back as early as October 1997. The homepage of the project is on the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Revisions Happy TeXing, Taco _______________________________________________ Ann-context mailing list Ann-context(a)ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ann-context

New Installation under miktex, not working
by Todd DeVries 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hi, I'm attempting to install context under miktex 2.4. I've updated the format files and followed other instructions as per the contextgarden discussions. I'm probably missing something really obvious and would appreciate any help offered. I receive this output when running the following commands: << texexec test.txt TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 unknown file type: texmfscripts fixing texformat path : C:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt fixing engine variable : pdfetex total run time : 0 seconds >> texexec --version and << TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 unknown file type: texmfscripts texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4) (preloaded format=cont-en 2006.1.15) 15 JAN 2006 11:32 context : ver: 2006.01.09 cont-en : ver: 2006.01.09 fmt: 2006.1.15 mes: english unknown file type: 'fmt' unknown file type: 'fmt' unknown file type: 'fmt' unknown file type: 'fmt' unknown file type: 'fmt' unknown file type: 'fmt' unknown file type: 'fmt' unknown file type: 'fmt' total run time : 1 seconds >>

Pagenumbers and labels
by Idris Samawi Hamid 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Dear syndicate, Three questions (test file attached): 1. A pagenumbering problem: I have \setuppagenumbering[way=bytext] Good: The page numbers are continuous and do not restart with each new part; Bad: The page numbers are still prefaced by the part number, e.g. 1-24, 1-25, 2-26, 2-27 etc. I want, rather, just 24, 25, 26, 27 etc.... 2. I want the chapter numerals to ignore the part, so I get Part 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4. 3. I would to keep "Part 1" "Part 2" in the TOC, but no numeral at all in the main text. I got rid of the "Part" label in the main text, but not the numeral. incrementnumber=no works but then the TOC loses the "Part"s altogether. Thnx in advance Best Idris ==================================================== % output=pdf interface=en \setuphead[part][number=yes, bodypartlabel={}, page=right, continue=yes, ownnumber=no, incrementnumber=yes, placehead=yes] \setuppagenumbering[way=bytext] \definecombinedlist[summary][part,chapter][textstyle=\tf] \starttext \placesummary \part{Test} \chapter{Knuth} \dorecurse{7}{\input knuth\par } \chapter{More Knuth} \dorecurse{7}{\input knuth\par } \part{Test} \chapter{Knuth} \dorecurse{7}{\input knuth\par } \chapter{More Knuth} \dorecurse{7}{\input knuth\par } \stoptext ==================================================== -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

math align

Hi, Here a first attempts for a flexible alignment mechanism (i depend on taco for the fine points of math typesetting since he's typeset \infty more complex formulas than i have) (n=n_of_columns, m=n_of_pairs, so both requested multiple column features are supported) Hans

texversion
by Hans van der Meer 16 Jan '06

When running the command "texversion" it used to give nice and clean compact output. TeXVersion 0.1 / Taco Hoekwater 2004 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) cont-en : ver: 2006.01.12 10:38 fmt: 2006.1.14 mes: english cont-nl : ver: 2006.01.12 10:38 fmt: 2006.1.14 mes: dutch Now it spits out a lot of material, ending with: > % \readlocfile{cont-def.tex} > % {\writestatus{loading}{adding extensions from cont-def}} > % {} > > %D Now dumping the format is all that's left to be done. > > \errorstopmode \dump > > \endinput Has something changed? I preferred the previous behaviour, i.e. quit reporting when called without options. yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

Resolution of the images
by Andreas Wapf 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hello How does texexec --pdf file.tex includes the images into the target pdf file? Does texexec process modify the images? What is the target resolution of the pdf? How should I optimize the process for digital or offset printing? Or is there somewhere a good introduction into this topic? Thanks, Andreas

indenting in XML environment
by Christopher G D Tipper 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Ok, after taking deep breath I'll try this issue again. I got indenting to work after putting \noindenting inside its own environment. However, the following code block stopped working recently and I don't know why: \defineXMLenvironment[body] {\bgroup \rm\setupwhitespace[none] \setupindenting[small,yes] \startcolumns[rule=on,n=2,tolerance=strict] {\noindenting} } {\stopcolumns \egroup} It just doesn't indent anything, even after removing the {\noindenting} environment.

columns issues
by Henning Hraban Ramm 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hello wizards! The \startcolumns ... \column ... \stopcolumns block handling seems somewhat broken. Maybe these "old" columns are deprecated, but I guess they should work. (And I would like to document them.) Consider this: \starttext \input ward \startcolumns \input ward \column \input knuth \stopcolumns \input tufte \stoptext In this case \column works (it doesn't seem to work always), so that the left column is much shorter than the right one. But the following paragraph (tufte) is typeset just after the last line of the left column, so that some lines overprint. And with [rule=on] the rule is only as short as the left column. [option=background] also only considers the leftmost (or first in [direction=left]) column. Maybe this behaviour is sometimes useful, but I don't think it should be default. [balance=no] doesn't affect the balancing of columns, but flushes the page (i.e. the tufte paragraph moves to the next page). With [n=3] you see that it doesn't use the whole remaining page. The whole problem seems to be \column, because without that, everthing (?) works. I didn't find out what the options ntop, blank, height and align are for; I tried several values and nothing seemed to change. [The source is http://source.contextgarden.net/page-mul.tex but I don't understand too much of it.] After looking in the manual, I guess I should consider using paragraphs or columns sets for most of my use cases, but anyway...
