s-pre-19: page numbers?
by Christopher Creutzig 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Salvete, with gwTeX, TeXlive 2005 beta, using cont-en : ver: 2005.06.08 fmt: 2005.6.15 mes: english I've got a problem with s-pre-19 I can't get rid of: The menu on the right contains page numbers, set in black \tf, at the lower left corners of the buttons. I have tried getting rid of these by using things like \placelist[Topic][alternative=right,pagenumber=no] or \def\gobble#1{} \placelist[Topic][alternative=right,pagecommand=\gobble] but to no avail. Do others have the same problem or is it just me? Christopher

Defining symbols and symb-*.tex files
by Keith McKay 19 Jun '05

19 Jun '05

Dear All I have been using fleurons in a couple of documents I have been producing by using the context commands \loadmapfile and \definesymbols of the fleurons I want to use, in each document. This is becoming a bit laborious so I though I could create a symb-*.tex file with all my fleurons defined in it which I could use in future documents. I had a look through 'Fonts in Context', and Section 12 Symbols and Glyphs described how to define the euro symbol which looked pretty straight forward. I also looked on the Wiki and reread Adam Lindsay email in reply to my earlier fleuron problem. So, suitably educated I wrote the following symbol-fle.tex file with a few fleurons defined and saved it in F:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\tex\context\base where other symb-*.tex filed are stored. % %symb-fle.tex % % \loadmapfile [texnansi-web-fleurons.map] \definefontsynonym [Fleurons] [texnansi-fleurons] \startsymbolset[Fleuron Beings] \definesymbol[Frog] [\getglyph{Fleurons}{\char44}] \definesymbol[SmallAngel] [\getglyph{Fleurons}{\char101}] \definesymbol[BigAngel] [\getglyph{Fleurons}{\char108}] \definesymbol[Mouse] [\getglyph{Fleurons}{\char129}] \stopsymbolset \input % % I then wrote a short test to show these fleurons but no success % % %symbolTest.tex % % \loadmapfile[texnansi-web-fleurons.map] \usesymbols[fle] \starttext \symbol[Fleurons] [Frog]%%%%%%%%%%%%%Result - No Frog fleuron only Frog \symbol[Fleurons] [SmallAngel]%%%%%%%Result - No SmallAngel fleuron only SmallAngel \symbol[Fleurons] [BigAngel]%%%%%%%%%Result - No BigAngel fleuron only BigAngel \symbol[Fleurons] [Mouse]%%%%%%%%%%%%Result - No Mouse fleuron only Mouse \stoptext % % The result is the text identifier of the fleurons. I must be missing something fundamental in these definitions. Any suggestions? Thanks Keith McKay Hamilton, Scotland -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Old-style numerals
by Nikolai Weibull 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

To get old-style numerals as the default, the accepted solutions seems to be the following: \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern] However, this causes old-style numbers to be used for \type as well, which looks weird. Is there a way to override the switching to old-style numerals for the fixed-width typeface? Example: \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext 1 2 3 \type{1 2 3} \stoptext Thanks, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

After reading Mr. Herbert Schultz's mail, I uninstalled ConTeXt updates and re-configure TeX via i-installer, it worked fine.

Is there a way to use it without updating ConTeXt? Thank you. Dalyoung

Lowercasing section titles
by Nikolai Weibull 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hi! I would like to lowercase section titles within the document while retaining their casing in the table of contents. I’ve tried figuring out how to use setuphead[section][textcommand=...] to do what I wish, but failed. Anyone have any suggestions?

problems with project
by Wolfgang Zillig 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hello, I'm setting up a structure for a project. Everything works fine when I compile the project file. When I compile one of the products I get output as well, but it includes automatically the "content" and all lists. The list of abbreviations and the index are included before the main text of this component starts. Why does this happen? I expected that only the environment file is loaded and nothing else. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot Wolfgang I have following files and structure (simplyfied) project: wooddoc.tex: \startproject wooddoc \environment environment \startfrontmatter \completecontent \product intro \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \product wood_anatomy \product wood_model \product wood_description_of_species \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \completelistofabbreviations \completeindex[n=3] \stopbackmatter \stopproject product: wood_description_of_species.tex \startproduct wood_description_of_species \project wooddoc \chapter{Description of selected wood species} some text here \component wood_description_of_species/douglas_fir %and there are some more components \stopproduct component wood_description_of_species/douglas_fir.tex % is in a subfolder \startcomponent douglas_fir \project wooddoc \product wood_description_of_species \section{Douglas fir {(\it Pseudotsuga menziesii)}} here some text \stopcomponent
