columnset's bodyfont+interlinespace ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hi, when using \startcolumns I could use: \startcolumns[n=2,rule=off] \setupindenting[none] \switchtobodyfont[8.5pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=10pt] \clubpenalty=0\widowpenalty=10000\displaywidowpenalty=10000\brokenpenalty=0 ... but when using \definecolumnset[myset][n=2] \startcolumnset[myset] \switchtobodyfont[8.5pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=10pt] ... doesn't work (actually it ends in halfempty pages). How to set fontsize+interlinespace with columnsets ? Steffen

nice winxp sp2 blue screen if rsync
by olivier Turlier 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I've tryed using (is that natural?) rsync on win xp (for testing Hans method for updating Contex). It works smooth if you stay away from xp sp2. Otherwise, you get a blue screen complaining about memory pbs (error/non error tested twice, on 2 differents win$$box). -- Olivier TURLIER

Request: translation of texshow-web
by Patrick Gundlach 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Dear ConTeXt (and texshow-web) users, I am currently translating texshow-web into various languages. Well I'd like to, but all languages besides german (and english) give me headaches... So I am looking for some native speakers to help me translating. The job is pretty easy, I'd send you a small textfile and you send it back to me with some strings translated (currently 35 strings, but there is also the help page and main page...)

Questions about TOC
by Thomas A.Schmitz 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

A very timid question: did anything change in the recent versions about generation of TOCs? I could swear that this worked a couple of weeks ago, but I can't make it work now: 1) I want numbered and unnumbered chapters, so I use \chapter{} and \title{}. I thought that the \title-parts were included in the TOC by default, but they don't show up, regardless of what I do. 2) I can't get any of the alternatives to work properly. Here's an sample file: \starttext \setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c] \placecontent \chapter{1} \section{a} \section{b} \section{c} \chapter{2} \section{a} \section{b} \title{I} \section{a} \section{b} \section{c} \title{II} \stoptext Tried appending the [alternative=c] to \placecontent as well, no change. And as I said, I could have sworn it worked a couple of weeks ago. Ideas, anybody? Thanks! Thomas

\mathstrut in \underbrace and nath
by Nikolai Weibull 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Example: \usemodule[nath] \starttext \startnathequation \underbrace{\mathstrut rr\dots r}_{n \text{times}} \stopnathequation \stoptext Error: ! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \o@dollar \o@math ->\o@dollar \relax \finishddelimbox@ ->\mathclose {} \o@math \egroup \delim@l #1#2->\mathopen {} \finishddelimbox@ \put@ {\the \ht \sizebox }\ht@... \mathph@nt ...tbox \nextbox \voidb@x {$\m@th #1{#2 }$} ... l.4 ...race{\mathstrut rr\dots r}_{n \text{times}} ? My guess is that the expansion of \mathstrut, being \vphantom(, is being misinterpreted as a delimiter (as '(' is active in nath), but that's just a layman's guess. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

Tried to download and try the stand alone version but the access to it is not allowed from the pragma site. Is this a not a free version? i had previously tried the cd iso image and was hoping to try it on my computer, further the correspondence manual could not be downloaded either. Any comments? vivek

Bugs
by Dirar BOUGATEF 21 Nov '04

Hi, Is there a special place to report bugs ? I have noticed that align=right aligns text on the left edge of a frame where it should align left as it says (and left aligns right). Is this normal ?

21 Nov '04

I've made paragraphs that have a specific shape (say the shape of a guitar) with e-plain tex. What would be the context macros to do that? thank you Ciro ================== Ciro A. Soto "All problems are at the interface. Each one of them has a solution."

installing context i fedora core 3
by ciro 21 Nov '04

21 Nov '04

I just switched to Fedora Core 3 (from Mandrake 10), and checked what version of Texexec it had. It is 3.1. So I went to the website, downloaded the cont-tmf.zip file, unzipped it, and tried to figure out how to install context. Boy! that installation manual is confusing. For a novice like me, I need some step-by-step guide. Any link where I can find that? thank you ciro
