About repeated formatting keys in table.
by Radhelorn 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Hello! Acording to WIKI this should work: \starttable[*{3}{|c|}] \HL \NC column1 \NC column2 \NC column3 \NC\NR \HL \stoptable \starttabulate[*{3}{|c|}] \HL \NC column1 \NC column2 \NC column3 \NC\NR \HL \stoptabulate Tabulate works as expected, but table gives errors about missing columns. It seems that |'s is not always multiplied by *{}{} command. -- Radhelorn <radhelorn(a)mail.ru>

by Wolfgang Zillig 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Hello, can anybody give me a minimal example how to use the module m-pstric.tex? I tried following minimal example: \usemodule[pstric] \starttext \startPSTRICKS \pspicture(0,0)(10,10) \dorecurse{10}{\psline(0,0)(\recurselevel,10)} \dorecurse{10}{\psline(0,0)(10,\recurselevel)} \endpspicture \stopPSTRICKS \stoptext But this results into a gray shaded box with the following content: "name:dummy, file: texweb-texapp.eps, state: unknown" Thanks Wolfgang

Offtopic: TeX in MetaPost?
by Michal Kvasnička 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Good evening. I apologize that I dare to post here such offtopic, but I feel this is the right place to get an answer. I try to write some general-purpose MetaPost macros for me with ConTeXt-like interface. For instance, I'd like something like this: label(point, "label=$A$, xlabel=$x_A$, ylabel=$y_A$, ylabelshift=left, lines=no, dotstyle=bigdot, ..."); I've done a lot of work and it almost works, but ... I failed to notice that TeX sequences are in normal cases included between btex ... etex and are preprocessed. In other words, they cannot be typeset as a string. I could use TEX macro, but it slows the process down in a horrible way. I think the best way is this: In the first run of MetaPost to flush out all TeX codes, then process it with TeX (texexec), and then to include it in the second MetaPost run. But I don't know how to do it? Can you help me or at least hint where I could find an answer? And BTW, is this a good idea at all? Isn't there a better/faster way? Many thanks for you kind help.

CSRoman again
by Michal Kvasnička 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Good evening. I've spent some time experimenting with LatinModern font. After all I was able to use it, but I found I hate it. 1) The have accents positioned in a ugly way (or at least, in a way not common in the Czech typesetting) 2) Some accents do no work, for instance \"o (at least this doesn't work: \loadmapfile[psclean.map] \enableregime[il2] ... B\"ohm-Bawerk Is there some way to get privately back to CS-Modern fonts? It seems these fonts are redefined to Latin Modern, so I can't use them. Please help. Your thankful Michal Kvasnicka
