Presentation Styles
by M.guravage 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hello, I recently prepared a presentation using pre-05. The Topics, represented as buttons in a column on the left, are now each preceeded by a number. This was not the case when I last used the style back in January. Interestingly, s-pre-05.tex has not changed since then. This behavior is the same on both the latest ConTeXt alpha and beta releases. I'd appreciate it very much if anyone could shed some light on why these numbers are appearing. Thanks in advance, Michael Guravage

importing figures in metapost
by andrea valle 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hi to all, newbie here, so please pardon me if I'm asking obvious things. I'm a latex user, but I am fascinated by context. I've a project and I'd like to know if it's possible to do it in context. The idea is the following: I have to draw a directed graph representing relations between musical elements. My graph is made of nodes and links. Links are represented as arrows as usual, but they should include a label with text displayed near to each of them. Nodes should be blocks of musical notation. Now, I'm using lilypond to generate musical fragments (www.lilypond.org) Lilypond outputs ps, pdf and png also. For my project actually I am using the pgf package under latex. In this way I can create graphs: I can draw lines with arrows, I can give each vertex an xy pair of coordinates, and I can associate each vertex an external figure. But I'n not satisfied with the output, and I like very much context capabilties: more, metafun is amazing. Taking a look at the metafun doc, it seems to me that the drawing the edges should be a very simple task. But: is it possible to import an external figure inside metapost giving it a precise place in terms of xy coordinates? Thanks a lot -a-

Problem with defineenumeration [number=no]
by Matthias Weber 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hello, if I'm not mistaken as usual, the number=no option of \ defineenumeration is broken in ConTeXt ver: 2005.06.08 fmt: 2005.6.13: \mainlanguage [en] \defineenumeration [test] [text=Test, number=no, location=hanging] \starttext \starttest What's that? \stoptext produces "ommandTest" instead of just "Test". Please advise. Matthias

Headers, footers, page numbering
by Keith McKay 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Dear All I have produced a nice little A5 pamphlet which I will be printing on A4 paper. I have had a lot of fun doing this and I am quite pleased that I was able to install fonts and fleurons which I needed in the process. However, I have a problem which I am having difficulty in solving. How can I stop the Header, footer and page number being printed on the first page? I have looked through the big Context manual but I can't figure it out. Any hints? Thanks Keith McKay Hamilton, Scotland -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Skrinking distance between bullet and text in itemize
by Nikolai Weibull 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I’d like to have the bullet appear closer to the text being itemized inside a \startitemize. I changed the symbol being used to a \cdot and now the text appears to far away from the bullet itself. Is there a way to fix this? I figured that altering distance, width, and/or factor would have some effect, but albeit it remains unchanged. The bullet also appears inmargin, if that’s important.
