linenumbering
by Thomas A. Schmitz 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

All, I have a document with several sections and would like to have lines numbered consecutively across all sections. However, when the \startlinenumbering ... stoplinenumbering spans a \section command, it doesn't work any longer; lines are not numbered. Is there a solution or a workaround? Thanks, and best Thomas

Reg. fonts and math
by Kumar Appaiah 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

I have been using ConTeXt for a short time now, after I switched from LaTeX. I find it quite great, but I have two queries regarding it. I am using teTeX in Debian (unstable). 1. Are the Lucida Bright fonts used in the documentation part of the complete teTeX documentation or are they fonts which need to be obtained separately? I have read a thread about this on the archive of this list, and tried all possible combinations suggested there in vain. 2. The tutorial tells us to refer to other sources (The TeX Book) for more on Math typesetting. Is there any online resource which would explain TeX (as opposed to LaTeX) math? Thanks.

I find it difficult to see the difference -- and therefore when to use the one or the other -- between useMPgraphic and uniqueMPgraphic. Is there someone who will enlighten me? Because I hate not knowing what I am doing. yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

texexec and missing file
by David Arnold 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

All, If the file doesn't exist, here is what happens: figures $ texexec --pdf --use=fig-make --mode=letter figlibSection3.xml TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 fixing engine variable : pdfetex total run time : 1 seconds figures $ Would it not be better if texexec reported "$filename not found" or some such thing?

Keep framed on the baseline
by David Arnold 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

All, I have: \placeformula[-] \startformula \eqalign{ &\text{Divisors of 12}: \framed{1},\ \framed{2},\ \framed{3},\ 4,\ \framed{6},\ 12\cr &\text{Divisors of 18}: \framed{1},\ \framed{2},\ \framed{3},\ \framed{6},\ 9,\ 18} \stopformula But I'd like to keep the numbers on the same baseline and let the frame dip below the baseline.

Hello Mojca, the symbol is "sans". Here a better example, to show what I want: \usemodule[symb-eur] \def\SomeEuros{\blank[small] normal \texteuro, {\sl slanted \texteuro}, {\bf bold \texteuro}, {\bs bold slanted \texteuro} {\tt tt \texteuro}, {\bf\tt bold tt \texteuro}} \starttext \ss here some sans euros: \SomeEuros \blank[big] \rm and here I want the same (sans, but they are serif): \SomeEuros \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Factor Trees
by David Arnold 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hi, Looking for an idea to set some simple factor trees. I.e., suppose that I want to prime factor 36 = 2x2x3x3. Can I get this using Metapost in a form of a binary tree with 36 at the top and the prime factors at the bottom as leaves? Any ideas? Thanks.

followtokens
by Alexandre Billon 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Dear all, I am quite new to context (but love it) and i am trying tind a way to typeset texts "properly kerned" in such a way that the characters be all rotated with tiny randomized angle (strange project indeed). I tried to do it by writing a macro inspired by \followtokens. I have two questions : 1. It works but just for text within a single line : I have no clue how to manage the line breaking, and I have to admit that I don't know eanough TeX ConTeXt to find out. 2. In playing with the macro followtoken I happened to write two files with no apparent significant difference (I mean for me) but which give quite different results : one properly kerned, and another that is not. Could someone explain me what's happening here ? (files attached) Thanks a lot, Alexandre Billon

cyrillic font
by Junod Antoine 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hello list, I'm trying to write down some Russian-French vocabulary without any success. I've read the page about Russian in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian) The examples are not working for me and that's certainly a font problem (acroread say that to me). How to know if the cm-super fonts are installed on my computer? I'm using a tetex distribution (2.0.2). For information, I'm able to output cyrillic with latex. Thanks a lot for your help. -AJ
