Strange error ...
by Willi Egger 25 Jul '04

25 Jul '04

Hi, I got a simple drawing madeup in Metapost, which is then compiled into a pdf file with context. Now that I want to include this graphic in a text I stumble over the following: pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2) ConTeXt ver: 2004.6.30 fmt: 2004.7.21 Error: PDF version 1.5 -- xpdf supports version 1.4 (continuing anyway) Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table... Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary Error: Couldn't read xref table subsubject : - De tekst op het Gabarit Error: pdfetex.exe (file ./gabarit.pdf): xpdf: reading PDF image failed ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished! Does anybody have a clue what happens? Kind regards Willi

Problems with left and right
by Matt Gushee 25 Jul '04

25 Jul '04

Hello-- I have noticed a couple of cases where ConTeXt macros seem to have confused left and right sides: 1) I want to format some text in two columns, where the left column is right-aligned and the right column is left-aligned. I found I had to do this: \defineparagraphs [ingredient] [n=2, before={\blank[small]},after={\blank[small]}] \setupparagraphs [ingredient] [1] [width=.16\textwidth,align=left,style=bold] 2) In order to format format headers for a book so that the book title appears on the left-hand page and the section title on the right, I had to do this: \setupheadertexts [] [section] [title] [] ... which, as I read the documentation, is in the opposite order to what it should be. Is this a bug in ConTeXt, or have I misconfigured something? -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USA Horses bear manure through mgushee(a)havenrock.com its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.)

key=value parameters
by Vit Zyka 24 Jul '04

24 Jul '04

Hallo ConTeXters, I am playing with defining my own macro with key=value parameters. Please, consider definition: \def\setupField[#1]#2[#3]{\getparameters[Field!#1!][#3]} \setupField[name][mykey=value,textwidth=2cm] If you let ConTeXt to show the values by \message{ <mykey=\getvalue{Field!name!mykey}> <textwidth=\getvalue{Field!name!textwidth}> <tekstbreedte=\getvalue{Field!name!tekstbreedte}> } you obtain <mykey=value> <textwidth=\Field!name!textwidth > <tekstbreedte=2cm> While 'mykey' is OK, predefined keys (like textwidth, text, style, ...) lead to undefined parameter, that behave like \relax. I can imagine next solutions: 1) Do not use predefined keys in my macros, e.g. textWidth instead of textwidth [=user unfriendly]. 2) Use original (mostly Dutch) keys inside of my macros [=developer unfriendly]. 3) Define: \unprotect \def\getparametersALL{\dogetparameters\dosetvalueALL} \def\dosetvalueALL#1#2{\@EA\def\csname#1#2\endcsname} \protect and use: \def\setupField[#1]#2[#3]{\getparametersALL[Field!#1!][#3]} \setupField[name][mykey=value,textwidth=2cm] \message{ <mykey=\getvalue{Field!name!mykey}> <textwidth=\getvalue{Field!name!textwidth}> <tekstbreedte=\getvalue{Field!name!tekstbreedte}> } it gives: <mykey=value> <textwidth=2cm> <tekstbreedte=\Field!enname!tekstbreedte> Is there any other (more elegant and not-so-dirty) solution? Thankx Vit Zyka

new mailinglist archive
by Patrick Gundlach 24 Jul '04

24 Jul '04

Hello again, I have also setup yet another mailinglist archive. I am currently testing it. It is located at http://archive.contextgarden.net Why yet another archive? * all (?) messages from May 1 1998 upto now are archived * searchable * quick the ntg archive is not searchable and has only the newest messages, gmane seems to have only the recent messages (but has a nice user interface) and Slavek Zak's one has only very old messages. If anybody has messages from 1997 to May 1998, please contact me off list. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net

Dear ConTeXt users, I have started the new wiki. All pages from the old one have moved to the new location, except for some user-pages (still to be done). Also, there is a new location for texshow-web. (as usual, please send me *any* kind of comment). Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net
