first page puzzle
by Alan Bowen 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

The following code \setuphead[chapter][page=yes] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location={header, middle},state=nomarking] \installpagebreakhandler{last}{} \definehead[Item][title] \setupsectionblock[Item][number=no,page=right] \setuphead[Item][after={\blank[2*big]},alternative=middle,style={\tfa \rm}] \setuphead[Item][header=high,footer={}] \setupheadertexts[text] [{\sc\ItemTitle}] [\pagenumber] [\pagenumber] [{\it xxxxx}] produces no header or footer on the first page, just as I want, in a multi-page document. What I am not seeing is why the same code produces a header (“ItemTitle....pagenumber”) when the document is only one page in length. I realize that I can insert \setupheader[state=high] in the source file of my single-page documents to get what I want, but that would still leave me puzzled. Any suggestions/explanations would be much appreciated. Alan

Bug in footnote mechanism when compiling per chapter?
by Gerben Wierda 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

I had in my project file \definenote[endnote][location=none] \setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2,way=bypage] which I moved to my environment file. But wherever I have it, when I compile per chapter, the footnote mechanism fails because it runs out of symbols to use. When I compile the entire book. no such problem occurs. Is this a ConTeXt bug?

font havoc
by Hans van der Meer 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Suddenly it seems, I am getting bad messages for quite normal math fonts: Warning: pdfetex (file cmsy8): kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / -- bdpi 72 --mag 1+7/72 --dpi 79 cmmi10 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfzzz and resolution 72; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 72 dpi devices. mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me. (<<<< Why is this?)

The mode for ljfzzz was set with texconfig. I was running the 2005-10-27 context version, but reverting tot 2005-08-31 did not solve the problem. What has happened to my fonts? Has it something to do with the fact that tetex and context seem to use directories .texmf-config and .texmf-var differently? Why does something that ran without a hitch suddenly is broken? Does someone know how to restore things to normal? Hans van der Meer

Hi, is there a mechanism so that on is able to say \index[start from here]{great+topic} % we are on p3 blabla much material \index[stop there]{great+topic} % we are on p7 and the index will advertise the topic as great topic 3-7 Of course I don't want to put an \index at every page (I don't even know the page break when looking at the source file ;) This feature is especially nice when defining a concept in a manual. Many thanks in advance, Olivier

maximum of \externalfigure in MP
by andrea valle 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi to all, I'm including many externalfigures in pdf in a MPgraphic (300 pdfs, more or less). The MPgraphic draws some arrows connecting the pdf fragments. (it is the musical project using lilypond we discussed some time ago). Till now, everything has always gone very well. Now I'm getting a little crazy. in fact, I'm having a strange behaviour I cannot explain. When I render the context file, as output I have the MP drawing, but all the (many) pdfs are replaced with blank spaces. I noticed that it seems that pdfs are not loaded (the console doesn't print their names in any way). I also checked the utility files (.mp, etc) but I'm not able to extract any useful info. If I comment out some of the lines requesting \externalfigure, (remaining) pdfs are again displayed. So, I'm guessing that is should be something related with a maximum of \externalfigure. I'm surprised because I generated examples containing many more pdf fragments than the present one, and I have never had any problem. Here's the zipped directory I'm working with: www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/nodi3-.zip Any hint/help is much appreciated Best -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino andrea.valle(a)unito.it
