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. Greeting, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

\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

Shell escape & ConTeXt (was: Re: [OS X TeX] EPS to PDF--en masse?)
by Adam Lindsay 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

TeX on Mac OS X Mailing List said this at Mon, 7 Jun 2004 20:00:01 -0400: >Shell escape is a mechanism which basically stops TeX processing, allows >an external program (like epstopd script) to run and then resume the >processing. The problem is that it allows any program to be run. So if >someone sends you a malicious TeX file, it can do good amount of damage >like wipe your home folder. Hi MacOSX-TeXers and ConTeXters. I just happened to revisit this recently, wondering how to make the gwTeX/ConTeXt experience a bit more usable "out of the box". I remember a few months ago some ConTeXters suggesting on MacOSX-TeX that shell_escape be set to true, to make things easier for users. The security implications quashed that idea pretty quickly. Instead, how about if gwTeX's default texmf.tetex/context/config/ texexec.ini includes the line: for tetex set TeXPassString to -progname=context -shell-escape That ought to be as safe as any ConTeXt installation, without negatively impacting risk for other macro packages, right? (disclaimer: I don't run gwTeX on my main rig (TeXLive for me), but I try to keep an eye on what's going on over there. For whatever TeXLive-ish reason, my texexec.ini includes --default-translate-file=cp8bit on that line as well.) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

loss of references after changing page arrangement
by R. Ermers 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

Hi Contexers, Does anyone know why I lose all my references to sections (\in[abc]) and pages (\at[abc]) when I specify a smaller page arrangement, e.g. 2*2? Kind regards, Robert Ermers
