Hyphenation peculiarity.
by John Culleton 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

I noted that context seems to be most reluctant to hyphenate. So I ran a test file through plain tex, pdftex and Context and checked the results. Context hyphenated less than the other two. The manual does not say much about hyphenation. I am using a fresh TeXLive install. Here is the top part of the log----------------------------------------------- This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3) (format=cont-en 2004.12.28) 28 DEC 2004 17:14 entering extended mode %&-line parsing enabled.

If I put in a discretionary hyphen Context will use it. -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf

Hi all, I'm trying to define chapter style like the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 1 This is the name of chapter ------------------------------------------------------------------ But I can't found the option of \setuphead which allows me insert a "new line" (and a vertical space) between chapter number and chapter name yet. Any help will be appreciated, Thanks in advance, Quy NGUYEN-DAI -- http://vnoss.org/forum/

Extra inserpages options and Out of hash space
by Giuseppe Bilotta 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

Hello, I'm re-creating a PDF from a split-repeated form: each section of the original document has been split into a separated PDF, and I'm trying to recombine it. To do so, I patched \dodoinsertpages so that it is possible to give a start= and stop= value for the pages (so that you can include, say, the pages from 4 to 86 only): \newcounter\currentip \def\dodoinsertpages[#1][#2][#3]% {\bgroup \dontcomplain \getfiguredimensions[#1]% \getparameters[\??ip][\c!start=1,\c!stop=\noffigurepages,\c!width=\!!zeropoint,#3]% \doifinset0{#2}{\null\page}% % \write16{Should insert from \@@ipstart\space to \@@ipstop}% \let\currentip\@@ipstart% \decrement\currentip \doloop {\increment\currentip\relax % \write16{Inserting page \currentip}% \dofilterpage{#1}\currentip \doifinset\currentip{#2}{\null\page}% \ifnum\currentip=\@@ipstop\exitloop \fi }% \egroup Hans may consider adding such a feature to the default distribution, possibly making it work with the n= option which is used by the standard stuff ... Anyway, my problem is that as soon as I get past page 600 or so, I get hash size exceeded fatal errors. A braindead solution that allows me to get a few more pages is to patch \calculateexternalfigure to define less csnames, eg by commenting %\setxvalue{\@@efobjectname\c!n}{\number\nofinsertpages}% and changing %\xdef\noffigurepages{\number\getvalue{\@@efobjectname\c!n}}% \xdef\noffigurepages{\number\nofinsertpages}% but still still is not enough (it's a nearly 1000 pages book). Ideas on how to solve the problem (MiKTeX does not allow increasing the hash size)? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

bookmark & UTF-8 accented characters
by VnPenguin 27 Dec '04

27 Dec '04

Hi all, I have problem with bookmark when I use Vietnamese UTF-8 input encoding. By using \placebookmarks[chapter,section] I got a bookmark with TeX codes in chapter and section names instead of UTF-8 string like in document. (see the shot http://people.vnoss.org/~vnpenguin/pub/bookmark.png) In LaTeX, IIRC, there is a command \texorpdfstring{st1}{st2} of hyperref package which allows me to use st1 for the content and st2 (without accented characters) for bookmarks. Yes, I see the using a non-accented string for vietnamese has no sense, but this is a "workaround" for us for this moment :) Any solution for this problem ? Thank you in advance, Q. NGUYEN-DAI PS: I have done research around mailing archive but unfortunately I not found the solution yet.

Hans, You mentioned recently support for obtaining duotones. I was grepping through the recent sources, but couldn't find any information about that. Is it already in the published beta?

metafun example & utf8 input problem

25 Dec '04

Hi all, I'm trying the example at page 236 Graphics and macros (metafun-s.pdf). I use vietnamese utf-8 input with T5.: --------------------------- code --------------- \enableregime[utf] \setupencoding[default=t5] \loadmapfile[urwvn] \usetypescript[all][computer-modern][t5] \setupbodyfont[reset] \usetypescript[berry][t5] \usetypescript[postscript][t5] \setupbodyfont[postscript,12pt] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric w, h, o ; p := textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; w := OverlayWidth ; h := OverlayHeight ; o := BodyFontSize ; p := p shifted (2o,h-ypart center p) ; draw p ; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red) ; draw (2o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p,h) ; draw boundingbox p ; setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled(w,h) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [FunnyFrame] [\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext [FunnyText] [frame=off,background=FunnyFrame] \def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame {\stopFunnyText } \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut#1\hss}}} \setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{} \FrameTitle{Những nhận định} \StartFrame Những nhận định trên đây có thể đúng, có thể không đúng! Những nhận định trên đây có thể đúng, có thể không đúng! Những nhận định trên đây có thể đúng, có thể không đúng! \StopFrame \stoptext -------- end of code -------------------- The text in \StartFrame ....\StopFrame is correctly printed. But the \FrameTitle is not. I lossed all accented characters. In Acroread, I found that the framed title uses CMR12 font instead of VnNimbusRomNo9L-Regu font like the body. Any help will be very appreciated. Thank you, Quy NGUYEN-DAI

I haven't seen it mentioned on this list yet. It may have been mentioned out there elsewhere in TeXland: Adobe Reader 7.0 is out. It installs a web plugin for the Mac. It seems to work on the Pragma/POD site. Rock on. <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html> as usual. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
