XeTeX w. ConTeXt question
by sfpno 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Greetings, After a number of attempts (somewhat indistinguishable in my memory at this point) I've been able to run ConTeXt with XeTeX support (if that's the right nomenclature;). It works! But I do receive this error message: -- (/usr/local/TeTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.tex systems : you should use pdfTeX binaries \wait= ) -- Looking in spec-tpd.tex, this error message comes from pdftexversion being undefined. Could someone clarify this for me? Kind regards

Re: [NTG-context] imposition for a pdf file
by Ciro A. Soto 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

I tried Hans' approach. It works fine, but somehow the pdf file with the 2*2 pages is corrupted since it does not print well, mostly garbage. It looks good on screen though. I printed one page of the original pdf and it is fine. So the problem happens in the imposition step. any suggestion? thank you ciro --- Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> wrote: > luigi.scarso wrote: > > Sorry ciro, but i like write tex code. > > > > 1. save following code as test.tex > > in page-imp are some additional inclusion macros -) > > > \centerline{% > > \externalfigure[test][page=1] > > \externalfigure[test][page=3] > > \externalfigure[test][page=5] > > \externalfigure[test][page=7] > > \externalfigure[test][page=9] > > \externalfigure[test][page=11] > > } > > shorter > > \centerline > {\dostepwiserecurse{1}{11}{2} > > {\expanded{\externalfigure[test][page=\recurselevel]}}} > > Hans > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Hans > Hagen | PRAGMA ADE > Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | > The Netherlands > tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | > www.pragma-ade.com > | > www.pragma-pod.nl > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > >

Header background won't go away
by Duncan Hothersall 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Hi all. I have a book with parts and chapters, which wants a tint in the background of the header line. I have the following set-up producing almost what I want (apologies for the length but I've stripped out as much as I can to still show the same effect): -- \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=right] %... \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout[location=doublesided, backspace=8.5pc,topspace=5.5pc,top=0pt,topdistance=0pt, header=12pt,headerdistance=12pt,height=61pc,footer=16pt, bottom=6pc,leftedge=9pc,leftedgedistance=0pt,leftmargin=0pt, leftmargindistance=0pt,width=29pc,rightmargindistance=0pt, rightmargin=6.5pc,rightedgedistance=0pt,rightedge=6.5pc] \setuphead[part] [placehead=yes,command=\XPart,resetnumber=no,page=right, header=high,before=,after=] \def\XPart#1#2{#1 #2} %simplified \setuphead[chapter] [command=\XChapter,header=high, before=\vbox to 14pc\bgroup,after=\vss\egroup] \def\XChapter#1#2{#1 #2} %simplified %... \setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=no,spot=yes,state=start] \definecolor[PantoneTwoNineFour][c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18] \definecolor[IFSblueheadertint][PantoneTwoNineFour][p=.12] %... \setupbackgrounds[header] [leftedge,leftmargin,text,rightmargin,rightedge] [background=color,backgroundcolor=IFSblueheadertint,state=start] \setupheader[state=start] \setupheadertexts[margin] [] [\hfill\llap{\tfx\getmarking[chapter][current]}] [\hbox to \leftmarginwidth{\rlap{\tfx\getmarking[section][last]\hfil}}] [] %... \starttext \startbodymatter \part{First part} Looks good, but still has band on next page \chapter{First chapter} Looks good, no band on first page of chapter. \page[yes] \section{First section} Looks good, the band is there. \page[yes] \section{Second section} Looks good, the band is still there. \chapter{Second chapter} Ugh, the band has impinged on my title, and I'm getting an extra odd page at the end too. \stopbodymatter \stoptext -- The above code runs in live.contextgarden.net and demonstrates my problems, which are: 1. The big problem - the second chapter title page doesn't suppress the band, even though the first one did. NB this behaviour seems to change depending on whether the previous chapter ends on an odd or even page. Bug, or incorrect header setup? 2. Empty pages (like the back of the part title) have the colour band on them - how can this be suppressed for empty pages? 3. There's an extra odd page at the end (I've tried a few of the suggested fixes for this but can't get them to work). If anyone can answer, especially question 1, I'd be really grateful! Thanks, Duncan dh(a)capdm.com

Floating table caption extends textwidth
by Michael Fuchs 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Hi! I have problems creating a "multi-line" caption for a floating table. If the caption is too long it will extend the text width. The following example shows this problem on http://live.contextgarden.net/. I was able to find out, that this problem only appears if one of the variables "width" or "textwidth" in the "setuplayout" command were used to define the textwidth. Regards Michael EXAMPLE: -------------------------------------------- \setuplayout[ backspace=25mm, topspace=10mm, header=10mm, headerdistance=5mm, width=16cm, % <-- COMMENT THIS TO SEE THE EX WORK height=fit,footer=10mm, footerdistance=5mm, bottom=5mm] \starttext \placetable[here][tab:Referenz] {Zusammenfassung der Ereigniszahlen in Signal und Untergrund mit... erfülltem $z$-Cut und einem über den Massenschnitt identifizierten $\pi^0$. \nolist{Ereignisse werden in dem durch den $2 \sigma$-Massenschnitt vorgegebenen Intervall gezählt, das auch bei den endgültigen Schnitten zu Selektion verwendet wird.} } { \setupTABLE[x][1][width=4cm, align=middle] \setupTABLE[x][2,3,4,5][width=3cm, align=middle] \bTABLE \bTR \bTH Anzahl \eTH \bTH Daten \eTH \bTH MC \eTH \bTH Daten \eTH \bTH MC \eTH \eTR \eTABLE } \stoptext

>===== Original Message From "Thomas A.Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz(a)uni-bonn.de> ==== >Moreover, are you sure that your system is finding texnansi.enc? >What does >kpsewhich texnansi.enc >produce? Ok I realize that my texfont problems are almost certainly related to my upgrade problems: a. From C:\TeXLive (old system) \system_fonts\timesnewroman>kpsewhich texnansi.enc c:/TeXLive/texmf/dvips/ly1/texnansi.enc so far so good b. From C\:ConTeXt (latest system) \system_fonts\timesnewroman>C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin\kpsewhich texnansi.enc \system_fonts\timesnewroman> nothing found So I think my problems in part go back to something I asked before: how do I get my C\:ConTeXt tree to secondarily search the TeXLive tree? Thnx for all your help! Idris Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Conflict ConTeXt & new LM?

That's right. >If texfont gets pointed to .ttf files, it runs ttf2afm itself, I thought. Well, I just followed the instructions in mag-0009.pdf. I created my own \system_fonts folder to do the work, then manually generated the afm's per Hans' instructions. After generating all four afms I called upn TeXFont from within the same directory with the generated afm's. In any case, I'm not sure that TeXFont generates the afm's, since it seems to be looking for them, or at least Hans' instructions do not use this method... >Also, did you run the generated test file?
