RE: [NTG-context] footnote text formatting

Hi Thomas, Thnx so much for your help! After playing with your hack I found a simpler solution-) \setupnote[endnote][location=none,margindistance=0em] \def\MyEndnote#1{\endnote{\hskip1.2em #1}} There should be ConTeXt options that do this sort of thing, along the line of \setupitemize, which has e.g., an [atmargin] key.

It is not clear how this can be done in What about something like: \definepapersize[env][width=4.25in,height=9.5in] \papersize[env][env] \setuplayout [topspace=1in,bottomspace=1in,backspace=1.5in,cutspace=.5in, header=0pt,footer=0pt,margin=0pt, width=middle,height=middle] \starttext \rotated [rotation=90] {\rbox{ Name\\ Street\\ State }}% \stoptext vit ---------------------------------------------------------------- <snip> Never mind.

Still curious if there is a Context solution to this common problem.

tcsh
by Otared Kavian 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Dear Contexters, Recently I upgraded to MacOS X 10.4 and after that ConTeXt didn't work: upon trying to typeset a file it says: tcsh: /sw/bin/init.csh: No such file or directory. and everything stops. This behaviour seems to be specific to ConTeXt, called from within TeXShop, since typesetting with Plain TeX or LaTeX works without problems. Also typesetting with ConTeXt from a command line interface works fine. Is this natural or I have messed up something? Thank you for your attention. Best regards: OK

This Scite-version is very well integrated with Context. Building is just a click [F7] away, Acrobat pops up automatically, etc. Don't know if you have to install Perl, I already had that.

footnote text formatting
by Idris Samawi Hamid 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Dear gang, Normally ConTeXt places the footnote number in the margin with the footnote text completely justified. How do I bring the footnote number just within the left margin (atmargin) and slightly indenting the first line (and only the first line) of the footnote? I have played with setupfootnotes to no avail, though I'm sure this must be trivial. Thnx in advance Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

[BUG] \setuphead style vs textstyle/numberstyle setting
by Nikolai Weibull 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

It seems that one can't retrieve the textstyle or numberstyle settings from a \setuphead when using \placeheadnumber, as suggested in details.pdf (the example file is more or less a rip-off of the suggested layout at the end of that document). One way to fix this is to use \headnumber[chapter] and put the style directives before it in the \hbox, but that's not really a solution, just a workaround. I've looked through the sources involved in this, but I haven't been able to find anything wrong. Please advice; I'm beginning to become unhinged over here..., nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

[ANN] Macros for displaying unicode vectors
by Nikolai Weibull 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Here's a nice way to display the contents of a unicode vector, as rendered by ConTeXt: \def\unicodevectortablerow#1#2% {\NC \ss\ix\uchexnumber{\numexpr(#2-1)\relax} \VL \dorecurse{16} {\newcount\u \u=\numexpr(#1*256+(#2-1)+(\recurselevel-1)*16)\relax \utfunihash\u \VL}% \AR} % TODO: *{17}{c|} in format doesn't work \def\unicodevectortable#1% {\bgroup \Expand \placetable [] [] {Unicode Vector #1} \starttable[|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|] \NC\VL[3] \dorecurse{15}{\ss\ix\uchexnumbers{#1}\uchexnumber{\recurselevel}\NC} \ss\ix\uchexnumbers{#1}F\VL[3]\AR \HL[3] \dorecurse{15} {\glet\row\recurselevel \unicodevectortablerow{#1}{\row} \HL} \unicodevectortablerow{#1}{16} \HL[3] \stoptable \egroup} And then \starttext \unicodevectortable{34} \stoptext The \glet\row\recurselevel is terrible, but I couldn't come up with a better solution. Also, even though thrd-tab.tex suggests that one may write *{N}{FORMAT} in the template, that doesn't seem to work. Suggestions?, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

Hi, all I have received 10 identical E-mails from "ntg-context-bounces(a)ntg.nl" to "undisclosed-recipients". All of these mails have no subject and have the same content "aaazzzaaazzzaaazzzaaazzzaaazzz". Can someone tell me what's the matter ? Are these just junk mail ? I'm really sorry if you received this e-mail twice. Thanks a lot. Xiao Jianfeng

Hi, The current beta (just uploaded) tries to satisfy dvips with regards to the map files; this means that pdftex, dvipdfmx and dvips all do thinsg automatically now; (the dvips alternative will be changed when map specials come available) so, we now have: texexec --ps somefile texexec --dpx somefile texexec --pdf somefile texexec --xtx somefile 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

newest version on teTeX-3.0
by Peter Münster 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Hello, does somebody already have some experience with the installation of the newest ConTeXt version (2005.06.03) on teTeX-3.0 ? With a minimal test-file (\starttext hello \stoptext) I have still two little problems: "texexec test" runs ok, but "dvips test" gives the following messages: This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2005.06.03:2232' -> test.ps dvips: expected number in \printpaperwidth ,\printpaperheight, returning 10 dvips: expected units in \printpaperwidth ,\printpaperheight, assuming inches. dvips: expected number in \printpaperwidth ,\printpaperheight, returning 10 dvips: expected units in \printpaperwidth ,\printpaperheight, assuming inches. kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfzzz --bdpi 1200 --mag 1+0/1200 --dpi 1200 ec-lmr12 mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ec-lmr12. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. dvips: Font ec-lmr12 not found, characters will be left blank. <tex.pro>. [1] The problem with the \printpaperwidth etc is not so serious, since I can overwrite the \dosetuppaper macro: \definespecial\dosetuppaper#1#2#3{% \special{papersize=\the\printpaperwidth,\the\printpaperheight}} But for the ec-lmr12 problem, I would appreciate some help. I've already tried some commands like "updmap-sys --enable Map ec-public-lm.map" but without success. This is what I've done for the installation (as root): unzipping the cont-xxx.zip files in /opt/teTeX/texmf-dist then "mktexlsr" then "texexec --make --all" and at the end another "mktexlsr" TIA for any help!
