Matrix or array and \Bigl
by jimarin＠bayesinf.com 07 Sep '04

Hi everyone, a quick question: how can I deal with matrices in ConTeXt ? I tried to use what is described in the wiki as a form of dealing with the latex environment convention and importing the amsl package... \def\begin#1{% \csname start#1\endcsname} \def\end#1{% \csname stop#1\endcsname} ... \usemodule[amsl] then I tried: \begin{array}{c} a + b \\ c + d \end{array} and also, does the tex sequence \left{ work ok in ConTeXt? Thanks in advance. Regards to everyone. Jose Ignacio Marín

concatenate PDF files.
by Paulo Ney de Souza 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

I am looking for a way to concatenate several PDF files, and found this e-mail from Hans: http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-January/000240.html saying that "texexec" can do it in several ways! and to look on the web-site, texexec manual and the mailing list for directions. I went to the manual first and found only ONE: texexec --pdfarrange --noduplex --paper=S6 file-a file-b but that nullified all links I had in my files, and changed the opening from from FitVisible to something else (all files were FitVisible). Next I went to two other sources he mentioned and Googled for: "-ntg-context concatenate pdf" did not yield much beyond that, and neither did Googling http://www.pragma-ade.com/ for the words "concatenate" or "combine". So does anyne know how to use "texexec" to concatenate two PDF files and preseve as much of the file as possible (links, opening format, ...) ? Paulo Ney

footnotes (short: behind, long: below)?
by Steffen Wolfrum 05 Sep '04

05 Sep '04

Hi, is there a predefined command for placing short footnotes at the bottom of each page but horizontally continuos? Is saw this way of typesetting footnotes in an "old" (seventies)-typeset philosophical book. It looks likes this: body text body text body text body text body bo- dy text body text body. ------ 1 short 2 short 3 too 4 short 5 but hey: the long note starts in a new line! I have never seen footnotes like this before. But it reads very pleasant: This way you don't have lot of empty white space (withs short notes), and it still is very clear (for the long footnote starts on a new line). Is it possible to typeset this in ConTeXt? Steffen

location of texsync.rb/minimal ConTeXt installation
by Nikolai Weibull 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

Where is texsync.rb located at the moment? It is not on http://www.pragma-ade.com/system/texsync.rb or anywhere in that directory, nor in the /context/ one. If that script isn't supported anymore, what's the difference between cont-bas.zip, justtex.zip.bz2, and linuxtex.zip.bz2? 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);}

[FONTS] Japanese Unicode
by Nikolai Weibull 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

I'm trying to get some Japanese ideographs in my document, but haven't succeeded yet. Basically, what I've done is used Adam Lindsay's XSL-T stuff for creating an .enc for my .ttf (mona.ttf) and then run texfont to install the font in /usr/share/texmf/local/fonts. Now, I can't get the test .tex-file working because I get Warning: pdfetex (file cork-lmr10): Font cork-lmr10 at 600 not found {/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/bbad153f.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesk y/cm/cmsy7.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/aae443f0.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fon ts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmmi10.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/0ef0afca.enc}</usr /share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr5.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/74af c74c.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmti10.pfb></usr/share/texmf/ fonts/type1/public/marvosym/marvosym.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/f7b6d320 .enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr8.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/ type1/bluesky/cm/cmsy10.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr6.pfb> Warning: pdfetex (file mona30xx-raw-mona): Font mona30xx-raw-mona at 600 not fo und from it. Now, these are only warnings, so I tried showing it with gpdf (xpdf), ggv, and acroread for linux. Nothing worked correctly, and only gpdf was able to show anything at all (albeit it wasn't right). So I figured I'd try it myself. I wrote the following type-mone30xx.tex: \starttypescript[serif][mona30] \definefontsynonym[Mona30-Roman][mona30xx-mona][encoding=mona30xx] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][mona30][name] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Mona30-Roman] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[Mona30] \definetypeface[Mona30][rm][serif][mona30][default] \stoptypescript and test.tex: \useregime[utf8] \usetypescriptfile[type-mona30] \usetypescript[Mona30] \setupbodyfont[Mona30] \starttext オ \stoptext Guess what...the resulting PDF is completely empty. Could someone _please_ tell me what I'm missing? I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately and perhaps most could have been answered by me delving deeper into the problem. The issue for me right now, though, is that I'm really stressed for time, as I need to get my masters' thesis done soon, and a lot is working against me at the moment. So, again, if you can help out in any way, _please_ do. 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);}

lc code of `

Hi, Currently, we have \lccode`\'=`\' set for all languages, but it seems that some languages get problems with hyphenation. \de \hyphenatedword{Works''} \nl \hyphenatedword{Works''} \uk \hyphenatedword{Works''} \en \hyphenatedword{Works''} \de \hyphenatedword{Works} \nl \hyphenatedword{Works} \uk \hyphenatedword{Works} \en \hyphenatedword{Works} i did set the code because some languages needed it, but now i get puzzled: we can do: \startlanguagespecifics[nl,cz,sk,fr] \lccode`\'=`\' \stoplanguagespecifics but i wonder of this is the right approach.
