I am wiling to do so, but i see that Texlive hasn't changed since 2003, and this is already the version i have installed 2 months ago. Is there a fresher version and does anyone knows the date where Texlive structure changed. Many thanks.

nath and \mathematics
by Nikolai Weibull 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

The following has to be added to nath for spacing to work correctly: \def\mathematics#1{\relax\ifmmode#1\else$#1$\fi} adding it anywhere after \def$#1${\@@dollar{#1}} seems to work fine. The problem is that $ is redefined, but \mathematics doesn't catch on so the spacing gets all messed up.

Again: location=hanging and frames
by Nikolai Weibull 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Frames with width=broad in something (enumeration) with a location=hanging don't abide to the adjusted width of the text, it is simply shifted to the left: \version[temporary] \setupframedtexts [width=broad] \defineenumeration [example] [location=hanging, text=Example] \starttext \startexample \startframedtext \starttyping % ls \stoptyping \stopframedtext \stopexample \stoptext To me it sounds like a simple bug, but perhaps this is intentional? I cannot see a reason why it should be this way, though. 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);}

FLOWcharts
by Nikolai Weibull 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Is there a way to reduce the "padding" around the contents of entities of a flowchart? I get a lot of room around the text of entities, which makes the text real small [maxwidth=\textwidth], but the charts as a whole very large. In mchart.pdf the text is normally sized, yet the shapes are a lot smaller than those I'm getting, so I'm guessing there is a way, I just haven't caught on to it yet... 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);}

nath and \(start|stop)formula
by Nikolai Weibull 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Hi! I just began testing the 2.99.1.20041026 release of tetex and nath is acting up. In the following document, the first math-formula works fine, but the second one (display) doesn't: \usemodule[nath] \starttext $A = (B, C, D, E)$ \placeformula \startformula A = (B, C, D, E) \stopformula \stoptext ! Undefined control sequence. l.6 A = ( B, C, D, E) ? X Any ideas? I'm guessing that the activation of ( messes something up. If ( is changed to \{, the first , (after B) gives the same error. If I use $$ ... $$ instead of \startformula ... \stopformula, it seems to work fine though. 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);}

pstoedit

Hello, I have been trying to use pstoedit to generate a .mp file but it doesn't work :-( I have followed these steps: 1.- With Gimp: test.gif -> Save as: test.ps 2.- pstoedit (as Metafun manual indicates): pstoedit -ssp -dt -f mpost test.ps test.mp But test.mp seems empty (just lines with % and so) So, any link to continue reading? Any suggestion? Regards, Jorge __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! - Get yours free! http://my.yahoo.com

Context & Vietnamese UTF-8
by VnPenguin 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi all, I'm newbie of ConTeXt. I use VnTeX (vietnamese package for LaTeX of Han The Thanh) with UTF-8 without any problem on teTeX 2.x (with pdflatex). Now I would like to try ConTeXt and if it works I'll convert all my LaTeX src into ConTeXt later. Anyone could give me some links to read for this please. Thank you in advance -- http://vnoss.org/forum/

tex4ht
by Steffen Wolfrum 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi, I wanted to try to convert a context's tex file to xml. What exactly do I have to do (using tex4ht)? Could someone give me some advice/example? (Btw.: While looking for information I saw that there are two different m-tex4ht.tex files in cont-tmf - see below - is this correct?) Steffen /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/m-tex4ht.tex \input tex4ht.sty \appendtoks \Preamble{\env{ht-1},\env{ht-2},html}\EndPreamble \to \everystarttext \endinput AND /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/generic/tex4ht/m-tex4ht.tex \immediate\write-1{version 2004-10-08-03:40} \input tex4ht.sty \appendtoks \Preamble{\env{opt-arg},,xhtml}\EndPreamble \to \everystarttext \endinput

rtf2context ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi, when typesetting a book with ConTeXt I always have to start with a author's RTF file. For converting I use "rtf2latex2e" - and have to spent a lot time too cleaning and correction the resulting tex file. Does anybody know/have a better solution for converting RTF to TEX files? (I won't be the only one using ConTeXt for typestting existing RTF/DOC documents, do I?) Steffen
