[MathML] other seperator then '+'
by Alexander Lazic 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hi, how can i change the '+' into '*'? What i mean is when i write this: --- \enableregime[il1]% choose input encoding: il1 is "ISO Latin 1" (ISO 8859-1), same as "win" \mainlanguage[de] % language mode: changes typesetting rules, quote signs etc. \setuppapersize [A4][A4] \setupcolors[state=start] \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[mathml] \setupMMLappearance[sign][reduction=no] \setupMMLappearance[function][reduction=no] \setupMMLappearance[power][reduction=no] %%\setupMMLappearance[relation][aligen=first] \starttext \startXMLdata <math> <apply> <in/> <cn type="complex"> 2 <sep/> 5 </cn> <complexes/> </apply> </math> \stopXMLdata \stoptext --- I get: 2 + 5i C but what i need is: j * omega || with '<times/>' I'am very new with context sorry i this is a 'trivial' question. Greetings al ;-)

free keycaps font
by Stuart Jansen 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

As far as I can tell, ConTeXt doesn't include a keycaps font. I recently created my own and would like to share it with anyone else that might find it useful. I've included a sample document with it. If you're on a *nix system with a working copy of ConTeXt and make, just type "make" to build it. http://blogs.gurulabs.com/stuart/archives/2005/09/free_keycaps_fo.html I'm not sure what it would take, but I think this can be include with a future version of ConTeXt if you're interested, Hans. -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

A side by side float that takes advantage of the margin
by Giuseppe Bilotta 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

I have a situation when I have to put side by side two floats (a table and figure). My current code is \placetable[here][label]{caption}% {\\placesidebyside {table code}{figure code} } The problem is that sometimes the combined width of table and figure is bigger than the textwidth. I would like the combo to be centered across the page, not starting from the left margin of the text and invading the right margin only. How can I achieve this? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Sync with ConTeXt
by Steffen Wolfrum 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

Hi, using TeXShop 2.03 I was very glad that syncing seems to work even with ConTeXt's project structure. But unfortunately it "only" works from source to pdf (well, already quite useful): Clicking in the pdf has no effect (although my component file starts with %!TEX TS-program = context %!TEX root = ../main.tex Is syncing with ConTeXt not yet fully supported - or is there a work-around for the pdf->source jump that I don't know? Thanks, Steffen

Including images in included files in subdirectory
by Giuseppe Bilotta 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

Situation: Tree structure: main.tex subdir/inc.tex subdir/fig.1 in main .tex " \include subdir/inc.tex " in subdir/inc.tex " \externalfigure[fig.1] " texexecing main.tex doesn't find the figure fig.1 subdir/inc.tex must use " \externalfigure[subdir/fig.1] " for the figure to be found. IMO this is a bug. Image should be checked for existence using as base the directory of the current input file *first*, then in the others. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Hello, when I sent messages to the list it takes about 1.5 hours until I get them back. It is not really a problem for me, I'm just wondering about. Wolfgang

czech food
by Vit Zyka 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hello mostly Czech ConTeXters, I have noticed in the modules.pdf that there are some Czech slot empty in the lang-sla.tex. Most of them are filled up now. All changes are marked by 'new' comment. Main changes: - redefinition of 'dashes' (pomlcek) \c!leftsentence=\thickglue--\thickglue\penalty-20, \c!rightsentence=\thickglue--\thickglue\penalty-20, \c!leftsubsentence=~---~\penalty-20, \c!rightsubsentence=~---~\penalty-20, (intends were: endash size preferable, short stretchable/shrinkable spaces around, line break possible after dash but not before; it conforms Czech typographical rules) It needs some new definitions to core-spa.tex (Hans ??): \unexpanded\def\textormathglue#1#2#3{% {\dimen0=#1\hspaceamount\empty{#3}% \skip0=0pt plus.5\dimen0 minus.3\dimen0 \ifmmode\mskip#1#2% \else\kern#1\hspaceamount\empty{#3}\hskip\skip0\fi\relax}% } \def\thinglue {\textormathglue+\thinmuskip 1} \def\medglue {\textormathglue+\medmuskip 2} \def\thickglue {\textormathglue+\thickmuskip3} - definition of day names - most of empty slot added (Zkratky, Sekce, Subsekce, viz, ...) The file is attached. Suggestions are welcomed. Vit ======================================================= Ing.

\limitatefirstline and the new beta
by Peter Rolf 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hi Hans, I just installed the latest beta (14.09.2005) and realised, that \limitatefirstline is still unchanged. Just read my last mail from the 12th for the details. Sorry for stealing your time. So I have either to change the description on the wiki, or you have to change the macro :) Greetings, Peter P.S.: This is the version I'am currently using (but with 6ex instead of 2ex tolerance). Using a variable value for the tolerance would make it even more flexible and user friendly. \def\limitatefirstline#1#2#3% {\hbox\bgroup\strut\dontcomplain \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\begstrut#1\endstrut}% \ifdim\wd\scratchbox>#2\relax \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#3}% \hsize#2\relax \advance\hsize-\wd\scratchbox \setbox\scratchbox\vbox{\forgetall\veryraggedright#1}% \setbox\scratchbox\vsplit\scratchbox to \lineheight \vbox {\unvbox\scratchbox \global\setbox\plusone\lastbox \global\setbox\plusone\hbox{\strut\unhbox\plusone}% \hbox % to #2 {\ifx\clip\undefined \box\plusone \else\ifdim\wd\plusone>\hsize \lower\strutdepth\hbox{\clip[\c!width=\hsize,\c!height=\lineheight]{\hbox{\raise\strutdepth\box\plusone}}}% \else\ifdim\wd\plusone<\dimexpr\hsize-6ex\relax \lower\strutdepth\hbox{\clip[\c!width=\hsize,\c!height=\lineheight]{\hbox{\raise\strutdepth\hbox{\begstrut#1\endstrut}}}}% \else \box\plusone \fi\fi\fi \removeunwantedspaces#3}}% \removeunwantedspaces\hss#3}}% \else #1% \fi \egroup}

lgrind...
by Andre van der Vlies 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi, I use 'lgrind' to format my 'source code' (C, python, sricpts, etc.). I like the 'layout' (highlighting, line numbering...). Is there something equivalent (or better :) in/for ConTeXt? -- Andre van der Vlies <andre(a)vandervlies.xs4all.nl> Certifiable UNIX engineer Homepage: http://vandervlies.xs4all.nl/~andre Key fingerprint = 397C 7479 67DB 9306 23DC B423 7B58 CD5A 6EFF 5CF8 -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ - against microsoft attachments ^[^#] --
