Necessary and optional comands for combinedcontent.
by John R. Culleton 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

There exist levels of commands: \definecombinedlist \setupcombinedlist They seem to have similar options. Are both required? If I define the list fully in \definecombinedlist what purpose does \setupcombined list serve in the ordinary case of a Table of Contents? A related question: can I place all the necessary parameters in the \completecontent command and do without the other two completely? -- John Culleton

Chinese processing problem
by Xiao Jianfeng 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Hi, all, I just met some problems when processing Chinese in ConTeXt. Here is an example (attached files may provide detailed information): -------------------------------------------------------------- \loadmapfile[gbk] \usemodule[chinese] \setupbodyfont[gbkai,16pt] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \starttext 北冥有鱼，\hfill其名为鲲。 \par {\switchtobodyfont[gbkai,44pt] 你好} \par \SimKaiTi 北冥有鱼，\hfill其名为鲲。 \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------- 1. I noticed that I cannot use \setupbodyfont[gbkai,16pt] (line 3)or \switchtobodyfont[gbkai,44pt] (line 10) to change font from SimSongTi(which is default) to SimKaiTi, but these two comands do have effect on the size of the font. But I can change the font using \SimKaiTi . 2. It seems that the command \hfill doesn't work at all. Can someone tell me where is the problem ? Any help will be appreicated! Thank you. Xiao Jianfeng

texexec --version (2005.06.07) & mktextfm ec-lmr12 problem (teTeX 3.0)
by Tobias Burnus 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Hello, I just updated my teTeX to 3.0 (using RPMs) and to \def\contextversion{2005.06.07} Running texec --version calls mktextfm ec-lmr12 which fails. (I don't have ec-lmr12, should I have it? I have the following: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/public/lm/lmr12.afm /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/lm/cork-lmr12.tfm /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/lm/qx-lmr12.tfm /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/lm/texnansi-lmr12.tfm /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/lm/ts1-lmr12.tfm /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lm/lmr12.pfb /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lm/lmr12.pfm) Tobias texexec --version out puts the following (only the first very few lines shown): TeXExec 5.4.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr12 mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12 This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) kpathsea: Running mktexmf ec-lmr12 !

texutil and registers
by Hans Hagen 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Hi, in the process of rewriting texexec into ruby i also rewrite texutil; some of the functionality in texutil is already moved (probably went unnoticed) to ctxtools; the graphics analyzer actually is also seperated in another tool, but yet undocumented (related to rlx libraries); this leaves handling the tui file; i will probably merge that part of the code into texexec which will speed up processing; from that moment texutil will be just a wrapper around calls to other tools (fallback). one of the more complex parts of texutil's tui handling is register sorting; i more or less got this done, and (at least i think) i can also handle the special tricks needed for czech; there will be a new interface to define sort rules; one of the tricky parts is handling encodings, but i may patch the context code for that; also, the sort-class based remap features will be available from within context so that one can tweak handling in determining the needed functionality, i'd like to know what things can end up in user's registers; if possible, i'd like to have (small) test files with sane cases (+ sort rules if needed) so that we can make a test bed 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

texsync'd linux ConTeXt png error
by Stuart Jansen 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

I'm using the latest texsync'd version of ConTeXt on 32bit and 64bit linux. Looks like either ConTeXt or pdfetex can't handle PNG's with an alpha channel. PNG image data, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced <-- works fine PNG image data, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced <-- corrupt pdf PNG image data, 8-bit gray+alpha, non-interlaced <-- following error: --- libpng warning: Ignoring bad adaptive filter type libpng warning: Ignoring bad adaptive filter type libpng warning: Ignoring bad adaptive filter type --- repeated ad nauseum (To benefit anyone coming across this message in the archives:) As a work around, assuming you don't need the alpha, the image can be converted to RGB in The Gimp using Layers > Flatten Image. Alternatively, using Image Magick, the command would be convert image.png png24:image-new.png -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

Horizontal shifting gives overfull hboxes
by Nikolai Weibull 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

OK, not the first time I bring this up, and it’s not a serious issue, but it’s very irritating having overfull hboxes that are in all ways correct: \version[temporary] \definedescription [test] [location=left] \starttext \starttest{1 is 1} Solution: \placeformula[-] $$1 = 1$$ \stoptest \stoptext will give a very ugly black box to the left of the formula. Any way of solving this? Thanks, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

Space in the module t-rsteps
by Mojca Miklavec 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Consider the following example in t-rsteps: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \usemodule[rsteps] \setupcolor[state=start] \definehead[Subject][subject] \setuphead[Subject][page=yes,style=\bfb] \starttext \StartSteps[Title] a\NextStep b \StopSteps \StartSteps[Title 2] a\FromStep[2]{b} \StopSteps \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% On the page 2, it typesets something like "a\par b" and on the page 4 it typesets something similar as "a\ b" instead of "ab" in both cases. My questions: #1. I don't completely understand the mechanism behind rsteps, but is there a way to supress the additional space introduced between successive steps? #2. How can I use \vfill (to write something on the bottom of the page)? #3. If I write The beginning \FromStep[2]{of a \dorecurse{20}{very }long sentence} than the spacing in the first part is affected by the TeX line-breaking algorithm (in slide 1 normal spacing is used and in slice 2 it is moved slightly to the left or to the right) The same goes for vertical alignment once the slide is full #4. How could I use \FromStep[x][reserve] outside the math environment? This could have solved the problem with the alignment under #3. Thank you, Mojca

small bugfix: module t-rsteps, more than 9 slides not possible
by Mojca Miklavec 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

\FromStep[10] doesn't work in the following program: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \usemodule[rsteps] \setupcolor[state=start] \definehead[Subject][subject] \setuphead[Subject][page=yes,style=\bfb] \starttext \StartSteps[Title] a \FromStep[9]{b} \FromStep[10]{c} \StopSteps \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The problem lies in: \def\FromStep[#1]{% \steps@updatenumber#1% ... The second line should be \steps@updatenumber(#1)% otherwise \steps@Updatenumber becomes only 1 as input and typesets the zero on the document. In the same art some more lines are to be fixed. Mojca
