upgrading to latest ConTeXt
by Idris Samawi Hamid 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Dear gang, Have not updated in a while, noticed a new mswincontext.zip, now trying to upgrade to the latest. First thing: System complains that pdfetex.dll cannot be found. Sure enough, there is no such dll in the distribution. 2. Can I go back to the last mswincontext and just use cont-tmf, or are there some new features in the latest mswincontext that we need?

Uppercase in headers
by Olivier 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Hi, I would like to set the headers all caps, but not the title of the section in the body text. This setting %\setupheader[text][style={\WORD}] % <- does not work \setupheadertexts[text][\setups{run:left}][][][\setups{run:right}] \startsetups run:left \CapHeadFont\pagenumber\qquad\WORD{\getmarking[section]} \stopsetups eats the section title in the headers. What should I do to get it right? Thanks, Olivier

Hi Jacko, There is some confusion about tcaron. The problem si that when another name is used, am2tfm cannot create proper small caps when there is no matching upper/lowercase slot. What do you advice in this. Should the ec enc file be changed?

alpha version
by Hans Hagen 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi, For those interested in sorting registers ... ... the alpha release has sort-* files in it. For the moment you need to load: \readfile{sort-ini}{}{} After that mainlanguage[sl] \starttext test \index {aa1} test \index {ab1} test \index {aa2} test \index {ab2} test \index {aa10} test \index {aa8} test \index {aa9} test \index {aa11} test \index {aa10} test \index {cccc} test \index {\ccaron ccc} test \index {\cacute ccc} test \index {caaa} test \index {\ccaron aaa} test \index {\cacute aaa} \placeindex \stoptext will adapt itself to the language. Sort orders are defined in sort-lan.tex. You need to run 'newtexexec' (ruby reimplementation of texexec), which uses the texutil module/class instead of the program (faster). The reimplementation of texutil permits user plugins and such (more about that later). I need more info on sort order about for instance czech and german and ...

Hi, I've again a problem but I don't know how to solve it. Please help... I want to test the Image Database.

ec encoding and tcaron
by Vit Zyka 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi all, let allowed me some pessimism. I am working on our 40-years-scout-group-bulletin intensively for more then a month. I have to solve many many technical problems instead on focusing on the design. The Bulletin is rather complex but many problems are 'simple'. I start to doubt if ConTeXt (and that is why TeX generally) is good tool for such typsetting. Detective debugging is good fun but if time is going, no results, and the list of todo technical unwanted features is increasing... Only some of these 'bugs' I presented in this list. Even such number would be looking as making only troubles. Never mind, here is another problem I am puzzled by for 4 hours... Please imagine a simple code in ISO-8859-2: -------------------------------------- \enableregime[il2] %\enableregime[latin2] \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm] \starttext ťŤ % \tcaron\Tcaron \WORD{ťŤ} \stoptext --------------------------------------- It produces an error ! Undefined control sequence. <to be read again> ¢ It comes from the first letter inside \WORD{...}. The same letters outside \WORD are typeset OK. So ť is not defined. But where it should be defined? \tcacon def is OK. Other diacritics chars e.g. \dcaron, \rcaron are OK. I was looking to enco-ec, enco-il2, regi-lat. Upper/lower mapping and char codes seems to be OK. But more I looking into I less understand it. There is no regi-il2 file, so I expect that appropriate info goes from enco-il2. But any other (perhaps more appropriate) combination like \enableregime[latin2] \usetypescript[modern][ec] or \usetypescript[modern][il2] gives totaly wrong glyphs. I believe that ť uppecase bug also relates with ignoring making pseudo-caps for this letter by texfont --fontroot=X: --en=ec --ve=public --co=lm --source=auto --ca=0.8 lmbx10 So problem is somewhere in ec encoding. Can somebody help please? Thanks and sorry for my embittering - it aims to my own head. vit

kpse
by Hans Hagen 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi, The latest distribution has an experimental ruby kpse class in kpsefast.rb (expects updates -). As far as i can measure it's not slower than native kpse and once loaded in a ruby prog it's faster of than reinvoking kpse each time; it can (optionaly) dump the database in a home/temp path which halves loading time. I will probably use this mechanism in the coming texexec/texutil (maybe also in texmfstart). The associated variant of kpsewhich is 'tmftools' (no help yet). Apart from basic kpsewhich functionality it will harbor more tree tools. texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex --trees=texmf,texmf-local can be very instructive on duplicate files on your machine and point you to problems. It has a --delete option which can be used as follows texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex --delete "texmf-local/fonts/.*/lm" this will remove dups in texmf-local (to be sure, one needs to pass --force as well) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

itemize + color question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Dear gang, This seems like a very easy one, but I can't figure it out: on my slides, I want numbered itemizations to appear item by item, and I want the previous items to be "greyed out." I think this can only be done by combining two itemize environments. This is what I tried: \setupitemize[1][n,packed,joinedup] \startitemize[color=darkgray] \item \color[darkgray]{one} \stopitemize \startitemize[color=white][continue] \item two \stopitemize But the switches color=something and continue seem to exclude each other: either I get a continued item numbered "2," but in grey, or I get a white item number "1". There must be some obvious mistake, but where? Thanks, and best Thomas
