Hello everybody, Thanks for helping me solve the problem. It was wonderful seeing the metafun manual. One more query : In a two level definition like: def test(expr p)= __temp_call(p) enddef; def __temp_call(expr p)(text t)= ........ enddef; so as to allow definitions for macros like "draw". Now, I want to have a macro similar to "draw" but also I want to have a suffix attached to the macro name. so, I did something like: vardef test@#(expr p)= __temp_call@#(p) enddef; vardef __temp_call@#(expr p)(text t)= ........ enddef; But this will obviously not work. But then I also have to define the macro with "vardef" inorder to have "@#" suffix. Can someone please help me here? Thanks. Vinuth.M.Madinur. P.S :- To Patrick Gundlach, thanks for help. -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

Re: Question abount ConTeXt

Hi, the en/nl/etc have to do with the interface language and there is no spanisch interface (yet) if you want to typeset spanish, you need spanish patterns and these are loaded by default, so texexec --make --alone will do for you. If you want all patterns: texexec --make --alone --all switching to spanish is done with \mainlanguage[es] Hans >Estimated sirs of Pragma, > >I am a newcomer to ConTeXt, though I used LaTeX for some time.

MPost: how to pass variables from mpost to TeX.
by vinuth madinur 13 Jun '04

13 Jun '04

Hi everyone, My mpost doesnt have textext macro. So, what are the other ways of doing it? What I want to do is this : %I have a variable GbLableName GbLableName=B_2; %Now I want to use this variable like this: lable.bot( btex GbLableName etex , (0,0) ); But this will just display GbLableName instead of B_2. So can someone please tell how this can be done? I know too little about TeX. Someone suggested about using Textext macro. But my MPost version doesnt have it. So are there any other ways of doing it? Looking forward for it..

\dogetobject and pdf
by Peter Münster 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Hello Hans, I'm sorry, your patch of the May 17 works well for dvi, but not for pdf: the figure is again shifted down and to the left. Here an example: \setupoutput[pdftex] \starttext X\externalfigure[example][width=5cm]X \stoptext example.pdf is attached, also the resulting pdf. Concerning the issus with \useencoding[ffr] and FitBH: Do you think, you could solve the problems? If not, I'll go on trying to find solutions.

\noindent after \stopitemize
by Nikolai Weibull 09 Jun '04

09 Jun '04

I would like for an unindented paragraph to appear after an itemize, but I can't seem to get it to work. My guess was to set indentnext to no, but that doesn't work. Are there any other ways of toggling this, or am I forced to give an explicit \noindent in the following paragraph? 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);}

pagination bug
by Nigel King 09 Jun '04

09 Jun '04

Hans, The following minimum file does not paginate correctly. It overflows the second page. Removing the figure or the second level of itemization fixes the pagination. I have enclosed the text of the file and the file itself for ease of reproduction. I am using the latest stable version from i-installer. I actually think I have had this problem before but not tracked it down. TIA -- Nigel \starttext \placefigure [here] [fig:a] {big figure} {\externalfigure[koe][width=\textwidth,height=\textwidth]} \startitemize[packed,n] \dorecurse{10} {\item repeated} \startitemize[packed,a,columns] \dorecurse{10} {\item repeated indent} \stopitemize \stopitemize \dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax} \stoptext
