Output PDF version
by Mikael Persson 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hi all, I just came across a situation where I must produce a pdf that has version 1.3 (or in worst case 1.4). I did not find anything on contextgarden or in the archives. Is there any ConTeXt command for this? I tried with \pdfoptionpdfminorversion=3 in the beginning of the file (as suggested on comp.text.tex), but still, acroread says it is a pdf version 1.5... /Micke P

Font Question
by Aditya Mahajan 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

I want to use palatino text with euler math in my document. This is how I proceed. 1. I downloaded latest mswincontext environment from pragma website. 2. To test if palatino works correctly, I tested the simple document. %--------- \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] \switchtobodyfont[palatino,11pt] \starttext This is a test . \stoptext %--------------- Everything works fine, and the text is in pallatino (the urw clone). However, when I look at fonts included in the document, Latin Modern is also there. I am just curious as how LM got into the document, and can I get rid of it. 3. I am not sure on how to include euler. I looked at Euler in ConTeXt (using Euler math font) by Adam Lindsay. I already have eulervm vf and tfm directories in $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/public/eulervm and $TEXMF/fonts/vf/public/eulervm There is a math-eul.tex at $TEXMFLOCAL/tex/context/base. The My Way by Adam says that I also need type-eul.tex, but I do not know where to get it from. I tried %----------------- \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] \switchtobodyfont[palatino,11pt] \usetypescriptfile[type-eul] \usetypescript[eul] \switchtobodyfont[eul] \starttext This is a test and $a = b$. \stoptext %--------------------- I do not get any errors while compiling, but the math is not euler. The output is same if I comment the three lines containing eul. The log is at the end of the email. I do not really understand how fonts in Context work. Can someone please explain what is going wrong and how can I get pallatino+euler working. Thanks Aditya %------------log---------------- This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.5) (format=cont-en 2005.11.30) 7 DEC 2005 17:43 entering extended mode \write18 enabled. **test.tex \emergencyend (./test.tex ConTeXt ver: 2005.11.30 fmt: 2005.11.30 int: english mes: english language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (e:\context\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex color : palette rollover is available ) system : cont-old loaded (e:\context\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (e:\context\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys loaded (e:\context\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns nl->texnansi:texnansi->1->2:2 nl->ec:ec->2->2:2 fr-> texnansi:texnansi->3->2:2 fr->ec:ec->4->2:2 de->texnansi:texnansi->5->2:2 de->e c:ec->6->2:2 it->texnansi:texnansi->7->2:2 it->ec:ec->8->2:2 pt->texnansi:texna nsi->9->2:2 pt->ec:ec->10->2:2 hr->ec:ec->11->2:2 pl->pl0:pl0->12->2:2 pl->ec:e c->13->2:2 pl->qx:qx->14->2:2 cz->il2:il2->15->2:2 cz->ec:ec->16->2:2 sk->il2:i l2->17->2:2 sk->ec:ec->18->2:2 sl->il2:il2->19->2:2 sl->ec:ec->20->2:2 en->ec:e c->22->2:2 da->ec:ec->23->2:2 sv->ec:ec->24->2:2 af->ec:ec->25->2:2 no->ec:ec-> 26->2:2 deo->ec:ec->27->2:2 uk->ec:ec->28->2:2 us->ec:ec->29->2:2 es->ec:ec->30 ->2:2 ca->ec:ec->31->2:2 la->ec:ec->32->2:2 ro->ec:ec->33->2:2 tr->ec:ec->34->2 :2 fi->ec:ec->36->2:2 hu->ec:ec->37->2:2 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded \openout2 = `test.tui'. system : test.top loaded (./test.top specials : loading definition file tpd (e:\context\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.tex specials : loading definition file fdf (e:\context\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex) specials : fdf loaded ) specials : fdf,tpd loaded ) \openout0 = `test-mpgraph.mp'. \openout0 = `mpgraph.mp'.

IPA/TIPA support in Context?
by Jason Knight 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

What support is there for IPA/TIPA in Context at this point? I've had a look through the mailing list archive and the last comment I saw about it was from the first half of 2004. Has anyone done more hacking on this? Jason -- Jason Knight Systems-Analyst-at-large "They fix 'em, I break 'em. Thus, analysis."

The whole (sub)section on a single page
by Mojca Miklavec 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hello, I would like to have the whole (sub)section on a single page unless it doesn't fit on one page (in this case I don't mind if it starts on a new page or simply continues on the old one, but it should break somewhere, that's why putting the content into a \vbox doesn't solve the problem). This is perhaps already described somewhere in the documentation, but I don't know where to look for it (well, I could start reading the source code for split=yes; perhaps \vsplit could help, but don't know how exactly to apply it). I can solve the problem temporary by manually placing page breaks, but I guess that there exists some really short, simple & elegant solutions for it. It doesn't need to automatically determine the subsection boundaries automatically (although this would be great), so I can write something like this: \startmaterialforonepage \subsection{split only if too long for one page} \dorecurse{10}{whatever comes here \dots } \stopmaterialforonepage Thank you, Mojca

Back to sidebars.
by John R. Culleton 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Some time back (maybe three years ago) Hans showed me a way to create a sidebar, with optional background and hanging out half way into the margin. Now I would like to encapsulate the commands into a simple \start \stop sequence. But I don't know how to do it. Hans started off with some definitions: \setupfloat [intermezzo] [leftmargindistance=-\outercombitotal, rightmargindistance=-\outercombitotal, default={outer,high}] \setupcaption[intermezzo][location=none] \defineframedtext [myohmy] [width=6cm,bodyfont=small, frame=off, backgroundcorner=round, backgroundradius=16pt,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.7] Then he called these two definitions with a sequence like: (some text) \placeintermezzo{}{\startmyohmy\input dawkins \relax\stopmyohmy} (some text) What I would like to do is boil down the last mentioned command sequence into \startsidebar (some text) \stopsidebar But I am stumped by the task. If there were a \startintermezzo and \stopintermezzo pairing then the task would be simpler. John Culleton

PhD Style for ConTeXt

Hi all, I'm starting writting my phd thesis with ConTeXt in french. According to the fact that I'll write it in french, I need to design a specific style and consequently, I'll surely submit style-related questions soon. Some advices ? Best regards,
