updates

Hi, The next couple of weeks there will probably more 'updates' than normal; this is due to the fact that i'm adding long due features and such. I also want to move on to the ruby variants of texexec and texutil, so i want the latest versions to be available (for testers). Currently I'm uploading a version that - fixes a problem introduced when implementing the \currentvalue hack (side effect was that the non english interfaces behaved weird) - a long standing wish of g.b. dealing with indentation (i tried to provide a more or less robust solution); the following works ok here (gb/taco: \noindent does not work in such cases, one really needs to make a handler the last action taken after a stop...; btw, suppressing a next indendation is best done with \noindentation which is what the auto thing used deep down) \setupindenting[small,yes] \setupitemize [indentnext=auto] \setuptyping [indentnext=auto] \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] \starttext \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \page \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \page \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \stoptext Hans

font problems again
by Hans van der Meer 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

With the last release of context the problem of not getting cm fonts is over. These are now found. However, other font selections bring new difficulties. I tried various combinations but did not succeed. The simple program (using TeXShop): \starttext \setupbodyfont[tim,12pt] hello world \stoptext Fails and aborts with: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) ConTeXt ver: 2005.11.11 fmt: 2005.11.13 int: english mes: english .... ! Font \*times12ptrmtf*:=utmr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. Changing into \usetypescript[phv]\setupbodyfont[phv,12pt] ! Font \*postscript12ptrmtf*:=utmr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. No help from enabling in cont-sys.tex of: \usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] (updmap.cfg contains URWkb for the LW35 fonts) then it starts asking for (non-existing) maps like: Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file If I use \setupbodyfont[lbr,12pt] then I get just lm-roman, although I have the YandY lucida fonts installed with their original YandY names (lb--.pfb) Here no help from changing between texnansi and ec default encoding. Any idea whats amiss? I ran this on a teTeX3 install with the context files unzipped into texmf-local. (I must confess I am tempted to give up on ConTeXt altogether, because of these many font troubles.) Hans van der Meer

Context 2005.11.15 Released
by Taco Hoekwater 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '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://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip If you have not updated your Latin Modern fonts in the past month, then you will need to fetch the latest redistribution of the LM fonts as well: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-lmt.zip The current release has version 2005.11.15. As usual, there is a page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.15 New features compared to the 2005.11.14 version: * A new key in \setupregister: prefix= This controls page prefixes in index ranges * New functionality: indentnext=auto Blank lines in the source are taken into account when indextnext=auto is in effect. A really short example of usage would be: \setupindenting[small,yes] \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] \starttext \startformula a = b\stopformula \input tufte % blank line => with indentation \startformula a = b\stopformula \input tufte % no blank line => no indentation \stoptext Bugs fixed since the 2005.11.14 version: * A bug in the new "extension of definitions inside assignments" feature in 2005.11.11 accidentally broke the non-english interfaces. Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

bold math not mathitalic
by Hans van der Meer 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

I am using the follwing (extracted) typescript lines for math in the lucida fonts: \starttypescript [luc] \definetypeface [luc][mm][math][lucidayy][default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [luc][mm][bfmath][lucidayy][default] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [default] \definebodyfont [default] [mm] [mr=MathRoman mo 1, mi=MathItalic mo 1, ....] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [default] \definebodyfont [default] [mm] [mrbf=MathRomanBold mo 1, mibf=MathItalicBold mo 1, ....] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [LucidaBright] \definefontsynonym [MathItalic] [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [hlhr8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] [hlcrima] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRomanBold] [LucidaBright-Demi] \definefontsynonym [MathItalicBold] [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright-Demi] [hlhb8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] [hlcdima] \stoptypescript Typesetting: \starttext \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue {$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf \stoptext Gives me for the variables neatly LucidaNewMath-AltItalic. But typesetting \starttext \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue {$\bfmath\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf \stoptext Gives me LucidaBright-Demi instead of LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic. Everything else however (even the blackletters from ma) are in the correct bold math font. The font must be present, because substituting MathItalicBold for MathItalic in the [math] script proves that. It seems that mibf has not been substituted, but instead used the mr typeface. Could this be a flaw in the (bold)math handling? For example a wrong fam chosen in the font switch? It seems weird that everything behaves neat except for the bold math italic. Hans van der Meer

alignment in cells without "alignmentcharacter"
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hello, (A question for a coffee break for Hans or Taco while updating macros for tables, although it may already be implemented somewhere.) I have a table with one column for room names with an optional slash (see below). The case is equivalent to aligning floating-point & natural numbers (without comma) in the same column. I aligned the entries with alignmentcharacter=/, which works perfect except in the cases where there's no slash present (the real example did an even worse, extremely strange alignment, where those numbers were sticking out of the cells, but I'll investigate that a bit & post an example another time). % plain text aligned in the same way as I would like it to have in the result \setupTABLE[c][1][aligncharacter=yes,alignmentcharacter=/,width=3cm,align=middle] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD 01/1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 02/13 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 03 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 314/2 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 315 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE Is there an elegant way which would align those numbers as if they had an additional slash on the right? I was thinking about placing a transparent slash behind those number, but there may be a a cleaner & more elegant solution for it. If not, it could be done approximately in the spirit of alignifnoalignmentcharacterpresent= absoluteflushleft / % according to the cell absoluteflushright / % according to the cell middle / relativeflushleft / % according to the aligned content % since remaining numbers may be aligned to the right or to the middle, % this would align just as left as the leftmost number with alignment character relativeflushright / leftofthealignmentcharacter / % I only need this one rightofthealignmentcharacter . Alternatively I could define something completely invisible like \alignmehere and then use: \setupTABLE[c][1] [aligncharacter=yes, alignmentcharacter={\alignmehere}, width=3cm,align=middle] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD 01\alignmehere/1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 02\alignmehere/13 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 03\alignmehere \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 314\alignmehere/2 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 315\alignmehere \eTD\eTR \eTABLE but I don't know what the definition of "\alignmehere" could be so that it would work OK. (Useful for complex alignments; for aligning nubers the first solution would be cleaner and better.) Thanks for any suggestions, Mojca

Not resetting chapter number on new part
by Giuseppe Bilotta 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

I would like the chapters across all my bodymatter to be numbered sequentially, even when they cross the part boundary. I.e, if I have \part{A part} \chapter{A chapter} \part{Another part} \chapter{Another chapter} I would like the latter to be numbered 2, not 1. I can of course do this by hacking \part, but I would like to know if there is a way to prevent number reset (something like resetchapter=no). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
