bug in mptopdf
by Taco Hoekwater 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

Hi Hans, I am afraid there is a bug in the latest mptopdf. It presents itself by spurious spaces in the output for long postscript strings. Here is an example: % uncomment next two lines for viewing in gv(1) %defaultfont := "Times-Roman"; %prologues := 1; beginfig(1); label ("This string wraps to a second line"& " in the metapost output",(origin)); endfig; end. The created pdf document has a space after the p in metapost. The output contains: (This\040string\040wraps\040to\040a\040second\040line\040in\040the\040metap\ ost\040output) cmr10 9.96265 fshow Greetings, Taco

Re: Animations in ConTeXt

Richard Rascher-Friesenhausen asked > So again. Is it possible to write something like the above animation packages > in ConTeXt (as a module)? If Acrobat can display them, ConTeXt can generate them.

I wasn't successful however in putting the symbol list of the fieldstack definition into a loop. Perhaps the ConTeXt gurus can help. Best regards, Richard

literal escape strings in bookmarks
by Stuart Jansen 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

Below is a simple example of chapter/section titles containing characters that need to be escaped. Although the page content turns out correctly, the PDF bookmarks contain the literal escape string instead or the desired character. Any ideas how avoid this? I guess this is a bug report. ====== \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section] \starttext \chapter{test{\char`_}chapter} The underscore character needs to be escaped in certain situations. \chapter{start{\char124}stop} So does the pipe symbol. \chapter{foo} \section{bar} How can I avoid literals escape strings in bookmarks? \stoptext ====== -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

how to create many blank pages
by Ciro Soto 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

I need to create a book with many blank pages (with its header & footer texts). Is there any easy way to create, say, 300 blank pages one after the other, wihout using \page 300 times? I guess what I need is to know how to loop within context. thank you Ciro

Iam also finding the error in MP-mpgraph.1 I am attaching the file. It means both mpy and MP-mpgraph.1 files are wrong. what should i do next. how to find the mistake? thanks upendran %---------attached MP-mpgraph.1------------ %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 0 0 %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 0 0 %%Creator: MetaPost 0.901 %%CreationDate: 2005.06.29:0155 %%Pages: 1 %%BeginProlog %%EndProlog %%Page: 1 1 %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 0 0 showpage %%EOF %---------------------------------------- ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!

\setupitemize[packed,paragraph]
by Mojca Miklavec 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

Why does \setupitemize[packed,paragraph] ignore the "packed" option? Another way would probably be to say \setupitemize[packed,joinedup], but I would only like some additional space after the itemization and none before. \setupitemize[joinedup] produces the same result as \setupitemize[packed,joinedup], which I also don't really understand. Is there a way to specify how "packed" two items are? There is a "packed" and "unpacked" option, but when I'm working with huge fonts (on slides for example), it would be nice to be able to specify some fraction of "how well packed" two succesive items are. Thank you, Mojca

\openlineheight not set

It seems that \setupbodyfont does not set \openlineheight, I have to call \switchtobodyfont to call it. Is this as intended? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
