Cannot use array in the formula?
by 龙飞 24 May '05

24 May '05

I try to use: \startformula \left\{ \begin{array}{r@=l} xx & yy \\ zz & aa \end{array} \right. \stopformula But Context log says "Undefined control sequence \begin{array}." How can I input multi-line equation in ConTeXt? Thanks _________________________________________________________________ 与联机的朋友进行交流，请使用 MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn

RE: [NTG-context] How to use .eps figure in ConTeXt?

>===== Original Message From Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> ===== >If you want to use your images in pdf, either convert them from eps to >pdf before calling texexec, or use the texexec => dvips => ps2pdf >route to create the pdf document (using ghostscript instead of pdftex). Careful, dvips does not work well with latin modern (or even other fonts); I have mostly given up on dvips as far as ConTeXt is concerned (and I can't count the number of hours I've messed with it)...

How to use .eps figure in ConTeXt?
by 龙飞 23 May '05

23 May '05

Today I try to insert .eps file in to my presentation. I use \externalfigure[xx.eps] to insert xx.eps. The figure shows correct in the dvi file generated by "texexec --once --texutils xx.tex". However this figure disappears in the pdf file generated by "texexec --pdf xx.tex". The log says "figures: xx.eps has zero dimensions". What is the problem? Is there anything wrong with the .eps file? Thanks _________________________________________________________________ 享用世界上最大的电子邮件系统― MSN Hotmail。 http://www.hotmail.com

Bold math in section titles ??
by Michael Fuchs 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi! Is it possible to activate bold math printing in a chapter/section/subsection title? In the example the numbers withing math mode (and the greek symbols) are set in regular style, while the rest of the title is printed in bold. Best regards Michael -------------- Example: \setuphead[chapter][textstyle=bold] \setuphead[section][textstyle=bold] \setuphead[subsection][textstyle=bold] \starttext \chapter{Test} \section{$1 2 3 \alpha \beta \gamma \delta - 1 2 3 A B C D } \stoptext

Removing space between figure and caption
by Brooks Moses 21 May '05

21 May '05

I'm working on a presentation in ConTeXt, and running into a problem with some figures; I can't seem to figure out how to get things to do what I want. Here's a small file that demonstrates the problem: --------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \starttext \tfd \setupinterlinespace \setupcaptions[number=no] \setupcombinations[distance=5mm] \placefigure [here] {none} {\startcombination[2*1] {\scale[width=3in, height=2in]{X}} {\bfc Caption 1 \crlf Line 2} {\scale[width=3in, height=2in]{X}} {\bfc Caption 2 \crlf Line 2} \stopcombination} \stoptext --------------------------------- My problem is that space between the figures and the captions is much larger than I'd like. In the actual document, the figure contains its own whitespace, and so I'd like the top of the caption text to be right up against the bottom of the figure. Also, I'd like to make the spacing between the two caption lines a lot smaller. How can I accomplish this? Thanks, - Brooks

RE: [NTG-context] prevent hyphenation

Hi Peter >===== Original Message From Peter <peter(a)orgelvlaardingen.nl> ===== >I'm typesetting a text with some citations in nineteenth-century Dutch >and French, in which I don't want hyphenation.

Animations in ConTeXt
by Richard Rascher-Friesenhausen 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hello list, i have recently found the webpage http://www.tug.org/texshowcase/ with a lot of astonishing TeX typesettings. Most of all, because i was looking for this, i was impressed by the animation possibilities of pdftex. See 'LorenzAttractor.tex' in the 'Dynamic documents' section. It is a LaTeX implementation using a lot of JavaScript. Is something like this possible in ConTeXt? I'm aware of fieldstacks and step by step presentations. But i would like to generate 'pdf-movies', especially for mathematical animations using MetaPost as an graphical engine. There exists also a 'solution' for plain TeX: http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xholecek/animations/ But i had no success in generating the pdf-files from the sources. No animation was shown. So again. Is it possible to write something like the above animation packages in ConTeXt (as a module)?

Unicode symbols in math mode
by Nikolai Weibull 20 May '05

20 May '05

I was wondering if it would be easy to add UTF-8 transformations of symbols like ≥ to \geq in math mode, much like “ and ” are transformed to `` and '' (atleast I assume this to be true, as it works for me).
