conferences
by Hans Hagen 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi, Just to remind you: there will be a tug conference in china. Apart from the trip, it's nearly for free, so it's a nice opportunity to meet the folks who make it happen. Hong Feng is making a real nice event of it.

prevent hyphenation
by Peter 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi. I'm typesetting a text with some citations in nineteenth-century Dutch and French, in which I don't want hyphenation. How can this be done? I now have two macros: \def\stophyph{\pretolerance=15000\tolerance=400} \def\starthyph{\pretolerance=200\tolerance=400} At the beginning of every citation I enter \stophyph{} and at the end \starthyph{}. But the cited words are still hyphenated. Putting single words in a mbox also doesn't help... ;( Tanks in advance, Peter van Kranenburg

presentations: "page number" and "next page"
by Mojca Miklavec 19 May '05

19 May '05

Hello, Shortly: I would like modify the meaning of "previous/next page" buttons in interaction menu to point to the previous/next slide instead on the previous/next physical page. And I would like to number pages according to slides instead of considering physical pages. *********************************************************************** And here's a more detailed description: I use the "rsteps" module (by David Munger) for my presentation. I also use the interaction menu: \startinteractionmenu[bottom] ... \but [nextpage] \symbol[nextpage] \\ \but [lastpage] \symbol[lastpage] \\ ... \but [CloseDocument] \symbol[CloseDocument] \\ \stopinteractionmenu Instead of \but [previouspage] \symbol[previouspage] \\ \but [nextpage] \symbol[nextpage] \\ pointing on the previous and next slide, I would like these two buttons to have slightly different functionality: pointing to the LAST step of the previous/next slide. Apart from that, I would like to keep the page number on different steps of the same slide. I would use this number to print it in footer and to call it from Metafun (PageNumber, NOfPages or a similar name, as in meta-ini.tex). Here's the idea of how the presentation should look like. In the table below there's a: - real page number (in pdf document), - slide number (= same content gradually growing), - step on slide, - page number as it should be printed in footer and made accessible to metapost if needed, - real page number where the "Previous" button should point to, - real page number where the "Next" button should point to 1 - titlepage 2 - slide 1, step 1 - page 1 - < [titlepage] > 3 3 - slide 1, step 2 - page 1 - < [titlepage] > 6 4 - slide 2, step 1 - page 2 - < 3 > 6 5 - slide 2, step 2 - page 2 - < 3 > 6 6 - slide 2, step 3 - page 2 - < 3 > 7 7 - slide 3, step 1 - page 3 - < 6 > 10 8 - slide 4, step 1 - page 4 - < 7 > 10 9 - slide 4, step 2 - page 4 - < 7 > 10 0 - slide 4, step 3 - page 4 - < 7 > [none/self] I'm interested in the result on the first place, not so much on the mechanism that would "automatically recognize a new page and place everything as desired", so I don't mind if I have to (type)set anything manually. For example, it is no problem if I have to say \StartSteps[title] \thisIsANewSlideSoPlaceANewPageNumberInFooterAndLetMetafunKnowIfSheAsksForIt ... \OnlyStep[3]{\thePrevAndNextButtonsHaveToStopOnThisPage} ... \StopSteps Thank you very much for your help, Mojca Miklavec

lost position information with metafun registers
by Richard Hirsch 19 May '05

19 May '05

Dear ConTeXt users (and developers), I am very fond of the presentation capabilites of ConTeXt, especially in connection with the Metafun macros. A big hand for the ConTeXt team! Now I want to link some checkboxes to a MPgraphic (a fieldstack actually) and I thought, that the best approach would be via the layer mechanism described in section 5.4 of the Metafun manual. I got the background picture and the checkboxes, but unfortunately the checkboxes were not in the intended positions (saved in register macros) but rather in the top left corner of the image. The same happened when I tried to reproduce the example from the Metafun manual: The texts show up in the top left corner of the boundig box of the circle. \setupcolors [state=start] \setuppapersize [S6][S6] \definelayer [test] \startuseMPgraphic{oeps} path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 6cm ; fill p withcolor .8white ; draw p withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .625red ; register ("somepos-1",0cm,0cm,center currentpicture) ; register ("somepos-2",3cm,1cm,(-1cm,-1cm)) ; register ("somepos-3",2cm,0cm,(-2cm,2cm)) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \setMPlayer [test] [somepos-1] [location=c] {Does it work all right?} \setMPlayer [test] [somepos-2] {\framed [width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight, background=color,backgroundcolor=white] {It Works!}} \starttext \getMPlayer [test]{\useMPgraphic{oeps}} \stoptext Does somebody have an idea what might go wrong? Do I miss an important setting or activation? (I am using ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.4.26 int: english mes: english in connection with tetex 3.0-13 on a linux box.) Or might this rather be a problem with the acrobat reader (version 7.0 on linux but also version 5 on windows)? I also tried to get some debug information via activating testmode (1. running texexec with the --mode=test option and 2. with \getMPlayer [test] [state=start,option=test]{\useMPgraphic{oeps}} in the document.) But I can not find the position information in the logfiles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Richard

Metapost animation
by Michal Kvasnicka 19 May '05

19 May '05

Good evening. First of all I want to thank to Mr. Hagen for his last answer. I will check your last code of balanced columnsets at home (with the newest ConTeXt). As for your correcting code for ordinary collumns, I have tried it with three different types of my documents, and it worked well. Maybe this is the final solution of the problem. I will try it with more documents and let you know, anyway. Now to my next question. I have seen a great thing: Metapost pictures were animated (probably with the JavaScript code). You can found some examples here: http://www.math.muni.cz/~plch/nkpm/nradanm6.pdf http://www.math.muni.cz/~plch/nkpm/nradanm8.pdf (Just click on the `Spustit animaci' button.) Is it possible to do it simply in the ConTeXt? Of course I may break down the mechanism of widgets and write my own JavaScript (I don't know how to do timing), but isn't there some special macro for animating series of figures? It would be great. If so, is Acrobat Reader fast enough to simulate this way the nice feature of MS PowerPoint---curves and shapes that are drawn by pieces, or that appear somewhere and then go to its final location? (This is quite instructive in economics, because you can easily notice which curve is drawn first, what second, and so on.) How can I do it? With many greetings and thanks Michal Kvasnicka

encircled characters
by Michael Fuchs 19 May '05

19 May '05

Hi! Is there a way to use encircled characters in context? Similar to the Copyright-Symbol, but with selfdefined characters or numbers. I was trying to use metapost for the job, but I wasn't able to get the "circleit" function to work. Best Regards Michael

Re: Context, Latex, or an XML for acaddemic writing?
by David Waller 18 May '05

18 May '05

Just to add a slightly different flavour, I have been using PdfLatex for several years to produce technical manuals for various pieces of software, which have included a lot of graphics and tables. I have recently changed to ConText mainly because it is far easier to set up how you want the text to be displayed and you don't need to include lots of additional packages which often have side effects with each other and need to be included in the correct order. I have also found it very easy to modify Latex input to Context input and particularly like the separation possible with graphics (whereby you can have a separate file that points to the graphics file and not have to embed the file name in the middle of the document) It would be nice if this list could produce some "good" layouts for others to use to provide us all with some defaults and a starting point rather than everyone reinventing the wheel.

straight single quote
by Stuart Jansen 18 May '05

18 May '05

While I appreciate TeX's support for attractive curly quotes, when representing console text it is important to use straight single and double quotes. I've been googling, exploring the list archives, reading the source, and beating my head against a nice blue pillar over by the window. None of these approaches has resulting in a straight single quote. What is the best way to get a straight single quote that matches the straight double quote of the current font? -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

Hi, I can code the cycle in ConTeXt,but it's too ugly and I will try to improve it. here is my code: \starttext \placeformula \startformula \matrix{A+B&{\Delta G_1\atop\rightleftharpoons}&AB\cr \Delta G_3\!\!\upharpoonleft\!\downharpoonright&& \upharpoonleft\!\downharpoonright\!\!\Delta G_4\cr A'+B&{\rightleftharpoons\atop\Delta G_2}&A'B\cr} \stopformula \stoptext There is a similar example in "The TeXbook"(example 18.46). You can try the follow code: $$\def\normalbaselines{\baselineskip20pt \lineskip3pt \lineskiplimit3pt } \def\mapright#1{\smash{ \mathop{\longrightarrow}\limits^{#1}}} \def\mapdown#1{\Big\downarrow \rlap{$\vcenter{\hbox{$\scriptstyle#1$}}$}} \matrix{&&&&&&0\cr &&&&&&\mapdown{}\cr 0&\mapright{}&{\cal O}_C&\mapright\iota& \cal E&\mapright\rho&\cal L&\mapright{}&0\cr &&\Big\Vert&&\mapdown\phi&&\mapdown\psi\cr 0&\mapright{}&{\cal O}_C&\mapright{}& \pi_*{\cal O}_D&\mapright\delta& R^1f_*{\cal O}_V(-D)&\mapright{}&0\cr &&&&&&\mapdown{\theta_i\otimes\gamma^{-1}}\cr &&&&&&\hidewidth R^1f_*\bigl({\cal O} _V(-iM)\bigr)\otimes\gamma^{-1}\hidewidth\cr &&&&&&\mapdown{}\cr &&&&&&0\cr}$$ Since i'm just a newbie of TeX, I don't really understand the first a few lines of the solution.
