FarsiTeX equivalent?
by John R. Culleton 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

A person on the internet needs help using FarsiTeX, a bidirectional typesetting engine for Farsi and English. It only runs on LaTeX 2.09. If the same task were approached in Context, what would he need to do beyond the regular Context stuff? Are there documents he should read? This is not a client, but just someone appealing for guidance. John Culleton

Some $\mframed{math}$ questions
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hello, I would like to ask a couple of questions about frames and numbers in math formulas. 1. What's the best way to frame a formula like here: \placeformula \startformula \mframed{x^2+y^2=z^2} \stopformula The problem is that: - formula number is shifted downwards in comparison to the formula without a number - I don't know how to do the settings (frame color, frame offset) globally. There's no \setupmframed[...] command. It's probably possible to use a sort of \setupframed[whatever_setting_influencing_only_mframed], but I don't know how. 2. What's the general strategy when doing evel stuff with formula numbering? I would like to use \eqalign and then number formulas like on the following example: z^2=x^2+y^2 (1) =(x'-x_0)^2+(y'-y_0)^2 % no number =R^2\cos^2(\phi) (2) Can I somehow number the formulas (1), (2), (3.a), (3.b), (3.c), (4), (5.1), (5.2)? I would like to manually provide where to start and stop numbering with x.a or x.1, x.2. 3. How can I put more than one equation in a row and number all of them (as if they were placed in three columns)? 4. How can I move the formula number one row lower in case that the formula is too long and if it would overlap with the formula number otherwise? Thank you very much for any help, Mojca

Hello, with the recent version (2005.11.30), I get a strange font in dvips output, when using \sc. dvips messages don't show any error: This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2005.11.30:2115' -> test.ps <tex.pro><ec-lm.enc><texps.pro>. <lmcsc10.pfb><lmr12.pfb>[1] Here my test-file: \starttext \sc \input tufte \stoptext The PostScript file is here: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/test.ps Could anybody help please?

I still find the amsmath way of doing this much easier, but equation numbering has not been ported to amsl module \starttext \placeformula \startformula \eqalignno{ z^2 &=x^2+y^2 &\formulanumber\cr &=(x'-x_0)^2+(y'-y_0)^2 & \cr% no number &=R^2\cos^2(\phi) &\formulanumber\cr } \stopformula \stoptext > Can I somehow number the formulas (1), (2), (3.a), (3.b), (3.c), (4), > (5.1), (5.2)? I would like to manually provide where to start and stop > numbering with x.a or x.1, x.2. Have a look at the wiki http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math for the manual way to number each subformula. I think one can define a \start(stop)subformula[format = ??] to put a \place(sub)formula automatically. But I do not know how to define such an environment properly. > 3. How can I put more than one equation in a row and number all of > them (as if they were placed in three columns)? One way to cheat can be to start a three column mode \starttext \startcolumns[n=3,tolerance=verytolerant] \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2 \stopformula \column \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2 \stopformula \column \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2 \stopformula \stopcolumns \stoptext Again, one could define a start-stop environment for this. > 4. How can I move the formula number one row lower in case that the > formula is too long and if it would overlap with the formula number > otherwise? Not sure what you mean here. Context (rather tex, I think) does this by default \starttext \placeformula \startformula a = bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb ddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ccccccccccc eeeeeeeeeeeeee fffffffffffffffff ggggggggggggggggggg \stopformula \stoptext HTH, Aditya

GNU Emacs/ AucTeX configuration for ConTeXt
by Renaud AUBIN 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hi all, Is there someone using GNU Emacs with ConTeXt. After some googlelyzing, I've learnt : 1. ConTeXt mode from Berend de Boer is now included in AucTeX 2. Some people use Emacs with ConTeXt and METAPOST, but with special .el files that seems not really up-to-date I didn't found usefull information to configure properly AucTeX in order to work well with ConTeXt and METAPOST, even in the auctex mailing list. It's ok for the menu (apparently managed by site) but I don't have syntax highlighting except for comment and indenting doesn't work well. So, my questions are: 1. Since there is a ConTeXt mode, I suppose there is some advanced features like syntax highlighting and indentation rules. Am I right ? 2. If I'm right, how to configure it ? 3. I will use METAPOST in my .tex files, how to manage this within Emacs ? 4. You know advanded features I must know ? ;-) I'm sorry but I'm addicted to Emacs and don't want to use Scite even if it seems ConTeXt-friendly. I'm aware of the fact that this mail is more Emacs/AucTeX related but since I didn't succeed in finding answers yet I submit this issue to the ConTeXt community. Best regards,

bibtexing problems
by Wolfgang Zillig 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hallo, I've started to add bibliography to my documents. Now I have some questions: 1. How can I handle multilanguage bibtex files (entries in German and English)? I'm writing english texts but I need to cite german documents and in all german references all capital letters are trasfered to small ones. 2. How to encode glyphs/german umlaute (öäüß) in the bibtex file? It seems that I can not use utf for that. 3. I have in the bibtex field: "comment = {genauere Analyse des Papers nötig!}," some comments. They are added at the end the individual reference. Is there a possibility to suppress this field? 4. is there a way of citing by bibtex key? (to get (Hameury2005) for the entry @ARTICLE{Hameury2005,...)). I think that is nice to have during writing the document and only to change this in the final version. Many thanks Wolfgang

Context 2005.11.24 Released
by Taco Hoekwater 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip The current release has version 2005.11.30. As usual, there is a page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.30 New features since 2005.11.24: * A support module for loading DraTex * Itemgroups now accept a command parameter. This allows \item c.s. to work on bits of the following paragraph, like so: \def\MyItemCommand#1{{\bf#1}\quad} \setupitemgroup[itemize][command=\MyItemCommand] \startitemize \item {test} is this okay? \item {test} is this okay? \item {test} is this okay? \stopitemize * Extension for the use of marks in column sets using a new, three-argument, call to \getmarking : \getmarking[subsection][first][1] % column 1 \getmarking[subsection][first][3] % column 3 * A set of font synonyms to enable easy ligature prevention (esp. useful in XML) \usetypescript[serif][handling][noligs] \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif] [latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif] [latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[mine,10pt] \starttext asjemenou-het--lijkt---te----werken \stoptext * \setupinterlinespace[auto] makes interline (double) spacing work even across bodyfont switches * new system modes for the current language: {\language[nl] \startmode[*en] english \stopmode \startmode[*nl] dutch \stopmode \language[en] \startmode[*en] english \stopmode \startmode[*nl] dutch \stopmode} Bug fixes: * ConTeXt now allows more MP specials, on user request (through \manyMPspecials). This is sometimes needed when MetaPost is called in-between runs instead of using the shell_escape mechanisms * use TEXMFTE and TEXMFGW in type-tmf.dat. This allows texfont to function correctly under gwtex. * Use the new map file names for the font families/typescripts antt, iwona, and kurier. * Footnote markers no longer appear in headings Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

enco-pfr.tex - support for Adobe Acrobat
by Richard Gabriel 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hello Hans, Taco and others! I would like to know how the "enco-pfr.tex" module works and how to properly use it. Besides of other languages, I also typeset documents in Czech. The search doesn't work (in recent Acrobat 7.0.5) for particular Czech letters (e.g. č,ž etc.). If I try to search for a simple letter (e.g. "č") it stops on every word containing "č", but also "c". If I try to search for a whole word (e.g. "počítač"), nothing is found. :-) I've followed the instructions posted on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Encodings_and_Regimes and in the mailing list thread linked from that page. So I tried: \input enco-pfr \useencoding[pfr] \startencoding [ec] \usepdffontresource ec \stopencoding \setupbodyfont[lbr]% I have typescripts for Lucida Bright fonts, the Czech is typeset OK \starttext A testing Czech sentence follows: Příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy. \stoptext Later I've found out that: - \input enco-pfr is already done in context.tex - \startencoding [ec] \usepdffontresource ec \stopencoding is already done at the bottom of enco-pfr.tex - so it seems that the only command I should issue is: \useencoding[pfr] BTW, in the Czech format (cont-cz.tex), I have defined: \setupencoding[default=ec] Doesn't it collide with the \useencoding[pfr] command later in the document? ANY GUESS? Note: The ligatures work OK even if I don't use the \useencoding[pfr] command at all. Thanks to all, Richard

items question
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi, I'm working on the responses to the mini survey, and quite ofthen there is an itemization with a title of sorts. It makes sense to give such structures a bit different layout from a normal itemization. My question: does anyone know of an easy way to do this: bla di bla di do re mi As you can see: 1. this is a gnat 2. that is a gnu instead of this: bla di bla di do re mi As you can see: 1. this is a gnat 2. that is a gnu ? TIA, Taco
