Hi Henning, >===== Original Message From Henning Hraban Ramm <hraban(a)fiee.net> ===== >> Hans and others use SciTE.

That's really too bad:-(( I actually have UniType Global Writer but it's really a pain to use for TeX source editing. On the other hand, it can be used to copy and past to WinEdt (where it will show up as utf-8 ascii). An all-in-one solution would be much better though. Now I'm a KDE lover myself;-) but doesn't GTK support bidi/rtl? So shouldn't SciTE support bidi right out of the box? In any case, I would still like to try SciTE if Hans' support files are available somewhere. Quick question: how does one activate utf-8? Best Idris

Disable Metapost rendering?

Hi, I really like ConTeXt's MP processing features, but as soon as I include more than five or six MP graphics in a document, typesetting slows down to a crawl. As far as I know, the PSTricks package has some option to only process a given range of the figures defined in the TeX file and reuse the existing output for the other ones. Is there a similar function in ConTeXt? Some global command like \donotrerender[1-n] would be great, a processing tag for each figure like \startuseMPgraphic{...}[rerender=no] would be perfect. Best regards, Sebastian Sturm

I personally use ViM, even though its support for TeX & friends is very limited. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

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
