Hi Hans, I've been dealing with getting Unicode Arabic working for the Arabic project so I'll be glad to help with the Arabic part. I have some fresh ideas for a new standard in this regard also...

Two further MathML queries
by Duncan Hothersall 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Apologies for all the MathML queries. Here are two more, embedded in one test file which will run on live.contextgarden.net: -- \usemodule[mathml] \setupwhitespace[medium] \starttext \TeX{} maths aligns $x$ well.\par MathML aligns \startXMLdata<imath><math><mi>x</mi></math></imath>\stopXMLdata squashed to the right.\par Also:\par \TeX{} display maths makes text go smaller for fractions inside fractions: $${{\rm Q}\over{\rm P}}\over{\rm R}$$ I'd like the same to happen for MathML: \startXMLdata <formula><math><mfrac><mrow> <mfrac><mrow><mtext>Q</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>P</mtext></mrow></mfrac></mrow> <mrow><mtext>R</mtext></mrow></mfrac></math></formula>\stopXMLdata \stoptext -- In summary: #1 Inline MathML has a wide space before, and no space after. #2 Display MathML doesn't reduce font size for <mtext> content such as fractions within fractions. I have done a fair bit of source- and archive-surfing on both these but no luck. Many thanks for any help. Duncan

setuphead
by Wolfgang Zillig 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Hello all, I think the solution is quite simple but I don't know how to do it. I want to start a new page with each section, so I tried: \setuphead[section][style=\bfb,tolerance=verytolerant,page=yes] but this does not work. What is is page=yes for? Thanks Wolfgang

formatting verse
by Gary A. Tucker 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

I've looked on the wiki and in the manuals for an equivalent to LaTeX's \begin{verse} environment. I found a macro in a file on the wiki, but the definition of it seems to be obsolete. What I'm working on is converting a wedding service set using LaTeX and the booklet package over to ConTeX and its built-in Imposition features. -Gary Tucker ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Gary A.

cross-reference query (\note)
by Alan Bowen 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

\note[xx] produces the footnote number of a note named “xx” as a superscript. What I need is a reference of the form [see 4na above] say, where a is the footnote number. So how can I get/print this footnote number as regular (unsuperscripted) text? Again, thanks for any help or pointers. Alan

Page numbers
by David Waller 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

I am trying to produce a document with roman numerals in the front section, but normal numbers in the main body. I am able to switch from one type to the other, but I would like to reset the page number to 1 in the main body, but I am unable to find a way to do this. I have looked at the manuals but can find no clue. Thanks for any help Dave

Re: [NTG-context] <mtext> UTF further problems
by Duncan Hothersall 22 Jun '05

Thank you for your patience Jim. > Try this at a shell prompt: > > env LANG=C LC_ALL=C cat --show-all FileName > > where FileName is the file in question. The non-ascii characters will > be output as strings that look M-? where ? is a single ascii character. > If you see a single M-? triplet in place of each non-ascii character > you do not have utf-8. If you see between two and five such triplets > for each non-ascii character in the document it is probably utf-8. > (If you see ^@ pairs separating the ascii chars you have utf-16.) Okay, this gives me some comfort as it seems to confirm that I do have UTF-8 as I thought. I'm seeing twos, threes and fours of the triplets you describe, and no evidence of high-ascii single chars nor of ^@. So I'm pretty sure it is UTF-8. Thanks for this. > I've only tested on tetex-3. That may make a difference.... I think maybe it does. Is there anyone who is running the *minimal install* (from Hans' zip files) on either windows or linux who could test this for me? I just need you to try out a unicode accented character within an <mtext> element inside MathML. Here's my template again - put an unicode accented char where 'HERE' appears: \useXMLfilter[utf]\usemodule[mathml] \starttext\startXMLdata <formula><math><mtext>HERE</mtext></math></formula> \stopXMLdata\stoptext > You may want to give TeX-Live a test. It's usually my first port of call, but AFAIK it's not possible to control the way the web browser re-encodes stuff before it is submitted, so the results are not reliable. This is a real shame - TeX-Live is how I usually confirm all my queries. Thanks again Jim; can anyone running the minimal install help me? Duncan

Struggling with lists
by Christopher Creutzig 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Salvete, in a presentation, I would like to have some links to external files at the lower end of the menu on the right. My attempts all looked something like the following, but I have not been able to achieve any output at all: \def\gobble#1{} \long\def\Link#1{\showargument{#1}} \definelist[Datei] \setuplist[Datei][textcommand=\Link,numbercommand=\gobble] \def\file#1{\writetolist[Datei]{#1}{#1}} \startinteractionmenu[right] \switchtobodyfont[16pt] \setupinteraction [color=black, contrastcolor=Two] \TocVersion \placelist [Topic] [alternative=e, frame=off, criterium=all] \vfill \placelist[Datei]%[alternative=d,criterium=Topic] \stopinteractionmenu ... \Topic{Überblick} \file{foo} I must be missing something obvious, especially since I did not find anything related in the archives. A hint, anyone? Christopher
