Referencing eqalignno-formulas, and some more
by Eeri Kask 24 Aug '04

24 Aug '04

Hello, I started using context recently and have encountered some difficulties where I need some help to get over. (1) References in math formulas: \placeformula [Ref] \startformula \eqalignno { ... } \stopformula It seems that referencing to '\eqalignno'-formulas needs some tricks. Is there any (non-)documented way to attach a reference to a line inside '\eqalignno' multiline formula? E.g. a mechanism like \xxx[Ref] \eqalignno { ... f(x) &= x^n - 1 & \xxx[Ref] \cr ... } so one can point to \in{formula}[Ref] and get the correct reference number subsituted? (2) Left/right margins of different width in doublesided layout: I invented my favorite layout as in \setuplayout [location={doublesided,duplex}, marking=off, top=6mm, topdistance=6mm, bottom=6mm, bottomdistance=18mm, topspace=18mm, height=243mm, header=6mm, headerdistance=6mm, footer=6mm, footerdistance=18mm, backspace=46mm, width=124mm, leftmargin=12mm, leftmargindistance=4mm, leftedge=2mm, leftedgedistance=2mm, rightmargin=28mm, rightmargindistance=4mm, rightedge=6mm, rightedgedistance=2mm ] \setuppapersize [A4][A4] \setuppagenumbering [style=normal, alternative=doublesided, location={footer,middle}] \showframe and if '\showframe' is active I can verify by ruler that all distances and measures etc. are drawn correctly according to both sides of the printed sheet. (Though it remains to be investigated why only 'backspace=46mm' gives 26mm whitespace at the left paper edge, i.e. the distance from the left paper edge to the left edge of the 'leftedge'.) :-) Putting \inmargin{Some text} on evennumbered pages (in a doublesided setup) shows margin area width as in 'leftmargin' in '\setuplayout'; shouldn't it adapt itself according to doublesided layout as the margin frame does in '\showframe'? (3) Math formulas in footnotes result in "Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts." I have the same style for margins and footnotes (I hope the following setup does this as was my intention), \setupfootnotes [style=\tfx\setupinterlinespace] \setupinmargin [style=\tfx\setupinterlinespace, align=right] and in typesetting formulas in margins this error doesn't occur, i.e. there are sufficient symbol fonts available (whatever it means) :-) I am using Adobe Utopia text with Palatino math fonts. (4) HZ-algorithm. This, as well as metafun positional graphics and metapost color transparency, was the reason I started trying out context. My understanding is, HZ gets activated not with \font\tenrm=cmr10 at 10pt stretch 30 shrink 20 step 10 as documented in 'pre-hz.pdf' at PRAGMA-ADE but using \pdffontexpand\tenrm 30 20 10 1000 as I noticed somewhere. The question is, are *.tfm files like cmr10-20.tfm cmr10-10.tfm cmr10+10.tfm cmr10+20.tfm cmr10+30.tfm enough to get it going, and can be generated manually from *.afm files using 'afm2tfm'? Though, '\pdffontexpand\tenrm 30 20 10 1000' results in "Missing font identifier." in context... :-) I am using Context 2003.1.31 with pdfetex 1.10a-2.1 as in tetex 2.0.1 distributed in SuSE Linux 8.2. Thanks in advance for any help, item (1) is most critical, though. Eeri Kask

Metapost and TeX [OT]
by skhilji＠tampabay.rr.com 24 Aug '04

24 Aug '04

I don't have any experience in metapost. I would appreciate if someone would please answer this question without me having to do thru tutorials and metapost source code. I was wondering how does metapost talk to TeX? Quicky glancing through the metafun book, I found out that you can super-impose text typeset by TeX on top of a diagram. I imagine you could do the same with mathematical equations too. So how does metapost interact with TeX? Let me guess: 1) Metapost could first write down to a file the text that it wan't TeX to typeset. It could then run TeX on the file. TeX produces a DVI file and metapost reads it back. It can then superimpose it on top of a picture. 2) Metapost could also be including within itself a simplified version of TeX. But that would be reinventing the wheel. So how does it happen in reality? The reason that I am asking is that I am interested in producing some diagrams using the libHARU PDF library (a C++ library to produce PDF files). Beautiful Text support, however, is missing from the library. I was wondering if I could hack it up so that I could somehow use TeX for the text part and C++ calls for the graphics part.

Re: texutil "malformed UTF-8 character" error
by Duncan Hothersall 23 Aug '04

Ach. I have fixed my second problem with missing register entries - I was using a header defined as a derivative of \chapter as the heading of my table of contents, rather than a derivative of \title which it should have been. Making that change fixed things. Oddly, the output from texutil is still saying register entries : 0 -> 0 entries 0 references despite the fact that a full table of contents is now showing up. One of the reasons I didn't find how to fix this earlier was that I was looking in the wrong place, and that is partly because that message made me assume that register entries were missing, when apparently they weren't. Did I misunderstand what this message means, or is it a feedback bug? Thanks for all the help, Duncan

UTF and texutil files...
by Martin Kolařík 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Hi all, if I use UTF8 for chapter or section title the UTF characters are expanded to \char XXX and this form is written into tui/tuo file. But if such character is originally placed at the end of the word after expansion and tui processing the space after end of word is read out (being a part of syntax rule \char XXX <space>). Example: "Srovnání t-skupin" in chapter in UTF text results to: "Srovn\char 225 n\char 237 t-skupin" and this processed back (e.g. into content) results to: "Srovnánít-skupin" Probably this cannot be corrected any way except patching ConTeXt itself -- but if it is possible I do not know how now :-), thanks, Martin -------- Martin Kolarik Moravske Pristroje, a.s., Masarykova 1148, Zlin 76302 tel. +420 603 498 498, fax +420 577 107 171 web: http://www.mii.cz -------- e-mail: kolarik(a)mii.cz e-mail: kolarik(a)click.cz tel. +420 603 535 593

Right, interesting - have upgraded to Perl 5.8.5, and now, having removed the \def\testbytesequence{} from cont-new.tex, the error message "malformed UTF-8 character" has gone away! Quite possibly the RedHat 9 install of Perl 5.8.0 had some default of UTF-8 mode set (though I couldn't see any evidence of it). Thanks for this Taco. Still not producing any register output, but at least that's half the problem solved. Duncan
