Differnce between context and latex math
by Aditya Mahajan 26 May '05

26 May '05

Hi, I am trying to move from latex to context, but it seems that the defaults of both differ. Consider the following \defineenumeration [theorem] [ headstyle=bold, style=italic, location=hanging, text=Theorem, between=\blank ] \starttext \starttheorem This is a test \placeformula \startformula a = b \stopformula And the test continues. Notice that the equation number is in \type{\it} and not in \type{\upshape}. \stoptheorem \stoptext Notice that the equation number is italic. Compare this with something similar in latex \documentclass{article} \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem} \begin{document} \begin{theorem} This is a test \begin{equation} a = b \end{equation} And the test continues. Notice that the equation number is in \verb|\upshape| and not in \verb|\it|. \end{theorem} \end{document} Here the equation number is in upshape. In latex equation numbers are always in upshape irrespective of the font type of the surrounding text. How can I get the same with context. Thanks -- Aditya Mahajan

In any event, testing only locally I can now produce the following results: As long as I have either '\enableregime[utf]' or '\useXMLfilter[utf]' then the é produces an e with a guillemot superimposed on top (this is wrong - I wanted an e with an acute accent). If I don't have either of those commands in the preamble, then I get Ãl, which looks like the literal unicode as two ASCII chars. Interestingly, if I forget about unicode and use é instead of é, then no matter what I put in the preamble I get the e with a guillemot superimposed. So whatever is mapping é incorrectly seems also to be mapping é incorrectly. Unfortunately none of this is the behaviour I originally experienced in my large project file, which was stalling the process with the following error: ! Please use \mathaccent for accents in math mode. <argument> \char 19 \dobuildtextaccent ...{\let \char \normalaccent #1 \let \char \normalchar #2} <argument> Inter\dobuildtextaccent {\char 19 }{e} s \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \MMLpmath ...tyle}{#1}\setMMLpmathstyle {mstyle}#2 \endgroup l.1 ...{}{Inter\dobuildtextaccent {\char 19 }{e}s} \xmlr {mi}{X}{}{cargo}\emp... ... l.15628 ...cargo</mi></math></formula>\stopXMLdata So I think I have two quite different errors, but it would be really good to know what can make é come out right in the minimal file, while I try to construct another minimal file which will give me the actual error above! Many thanks. Duncan

Accents in MathML
by Duncan Hothersall 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hello all. I'm processing some Spanish from Unicode and some of it is in MathML, for which I use ConTeXt's native processing. There seems to be a problem with accents. When I run this on Live: -- \mainlanguage[es]\enableregime[utf]\useencoding[uc] \useXMLfilter[utf]\usemodule[mathml] \starttext Maths with accents: \startXMLdata <formula><math><mtext>interés</mtext></math></formula>\stopXMLdata \stoptext -- it fails because of the é (which is an e with an acute accent, in case the mail system turns it into gobbledgook). Can anyone help? Thanks. Duncan

Vertical alignment in tables
by Nikolai Weibull 25 May '05

25 May '05

I’d like to have a table like this: 1 2 3 -------------------------------------------- Pic- ture- spanning- Centered1 Centered2 some- lines -------------------------------------------- Another- Picture- spanning- Centered1 Centered2 some- lines The first column contains a figure using \externalfigure. I want the following two columns to be vertically centered in the space that the picture occupies in each row of the table. A quick response would be preferable, as I really should hand in the paper containing the above table by tomorrow.

Why are all the typescripts accessed?
by John R. Culleton 24 May '05

24 May '05

When I texexec a file the names of all the typescripts on the system scroll by. Is something set up wrong? This slows down each run significantly. I run Slackware Linux and the TeX package from Slack-Current. Texexec alleges that it is version 5.2.4. -- John Culleton The answers to all your publishing questions are found in the excellent books listed in the word-famous shortlist! http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf

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
