update

Hi, Well, after some bad hacking Adam, Patrick and me think that we got engine support working on all platforms. Interesting is that the problems for platforms -tetex and gwtex- were in different parts of the code, so there must be subtle differences in path settings (different kpse branches in texexec). The solutions had to do with chomping on the one hand and complex paths on th eother hand. Patrick, I hope that i didn't mess up the garden server in the process -) Uploaded.

I think there is a little mistake in "ConTeXt an excursion"
by Xiao Jianfeng 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

On page 22 of my "ConTeXt an excursion" (version May 27, 1999), it says: %-------------------------------------------------- \placefigure [here,force] [fig:canal] {The Hasselt Canals.} \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[Photo]} {a bitmap picture} {\externalfigure[Graphic]} {a vector graphic} \stopcombinatie %-------------------------------------------------- but this can not be complied -_- after a few tries, I think it shoud be like this: %-------------------------------------------------- \placefigure [here,force] [fig:canal] {The Hasselt Canals.} { \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[Photo]} {a bitmap picture} {\externalfigure[Graphic]} {a vector graphic} \stopcombination } %-------------------------------------------------- Note that there are { and } missing and a spell mistake. I do not intend to blame the author at all, and in fact, ConTeXt is really a good work! I just hope this can be of some help to some newbies like me, since i spent two hours to find out the soultion to combine two figures -_- xiaojf

multi-paged table with "continued"
by Paul Tremblay 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I need to create a multipage table that has the head on the top of each page. For the first page, the head should read "Table Appendix B.1: Stores in Country". For subsequent pages, I need to add the word continued: "Table Appendix B.1 (continued): Stores in Country" I notice that when I create tables with the standard Table module, it makes captions such as table1a title table1b title Instead of 1a and 1b, I need the word "continued." Is there a way to do this with Table, or should I use TABLE and try to set up something with \bTABLEnext? Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

buffers and mathml
by jimarin＠bayesinf.com 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Hi all, I hope not to be posing a silly question. I am trying something like: usemodule[mathml] \starttext \def\open {<} \def\close {>} \startbuffer \open math display="block"\close \open apply\close \open sin/\close \open apply\close \open plus/\close \open cn\close 2 \open /cn\close \open ci\close a \open /ci\close \open /apply\close \open /apply\close \open /math\close \stopbuffer \processXMLbuffer \stoptext But this does not pass to \processXMLbuffer the result of substituting commands \open and \close... how could this be achieved...? I know that I could have used myself the < and >'s instead of the ugly open and close but that is not my requirement. I tried defining a command \def\Wea { \open math display="block"\close \open apply\close \open sin/\close \open apply\close \open plus/\close \open cn\close 2 \open /cn\close \open ci\close a \open /ci\close \open /apply\close \open /apply\close \open /math\close } and then... \startbuffer \Wea \stopbuffer but that is plain wrong... thanks jima --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hello, I would like to use module names with more than 8 characters. Is this possible, and if yes how? (Perhaps just redifining \dododousemodules?) Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

unwanted font replacement during inclussion
by Vit Zyka 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Hi, I noticed the next strange behaviour. Let us create very simple file test.tex: ------------------ \font\bf=cmbx12 Normal text. \bf Bold text. \end ------------------ Now include this file by plain pdftex: ------------------ \pdfximage{test.pdf} \pdfrefximage\pdflastximage \end ------------------ Everything is correct. No let us try to insert the file by context: ------------------ \starttext %\font\bf=cmbx12 %Normal text. \bf Bold text. \pdfximage{test.pdf} \pdfrefximage\pdflastximage \stoptext ------------------ And that is!!! Text 'bold text' is typeset with totaly different font from cmbx12, so it is smashed by wrong metric! See the attached file. If I uncomment two lines, so the font cmbx12 is not only present in the included file, the result is correct. Where is the problem? Something mixing cm and lm? I though that included file comes with all font resources. Hmmmm, now I feel it is more pdftex-related then context-related question. vit (pdfetex v1.30) -- Vít Zýka --- http://typokvitek.com Automatic document typesetting Automaticka sazba dokumentu -- --
