\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

overall TABLE width
by Nigel King 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

Dear ConTeXtnicians, Normally \bTABLE...\eTABLE encourages itself to the textwidth of the page that it is on. I have a requirement for a table which is occupying a full page rotated. What command encourages TABLE to a different overall width. I cannot find anything in manuals and archives. TIA -- Nigel

Arabic-utf-8 (plus a sample)
by Idris Samawi Hamid 07 Jun '04

07 Jun '04

Hi gang, For Arabic we use a Latin transcription in Aleph/(e-)Omega (or even ArabTeX) unless one of the encoding filters like utf-8 is used. Even for utf-8 files, however, it would be very useful to be able to convert a utf-8 file to Latin transcription for further processing by Aleph/(e-)Omega. For example, adding diacritics is much easier to do in Latin than in an Arabic script editor because Latin transcription is one-dimensional and adding diacritics to Arabic is a 2-dimen affair. The best thing would be a perl script but I don't know perl at all (except to run some some precreated scripts). If someone out of the kindness of their heart could write a short and simple script for just seven characters I could do the rest myself and present it back here. Now all of the Arabic charachters in utf-8 can be represented by extended ascii. I need something like this, that converts every extended ascii representation of Arabic utf-8 into a Latin transcription: Ø§ => A Ø¨ => b Ø¬ => j Ø¯ => d Ù‡ => h Ùˆ => w Ø² => z If someone could write a perl script that can accomplish the above conversion, I can manually fill in the rest of the script. Basically I use a modified version of the ArabTeX transcription. Here is a "gift" in return: a sample utf-8 Arabic file that can be processed by Aleph/(e-)Omega in ConTeXt (you will probably need to dvips this, though some dvi-viewers can do the postscript/16-bit thing): ============================================== \hoffset=0pt % for Omega bug: has this been fixed? \def\ArabicUTF{\ocp\UTFArUni=inutf8 %% in88596 %\ocp\UTFArUni=in88596 \ocp\UniCUni=uni2cuni \ocp\CUniArab=cuni2oar \ocplist\UTFArOCP= \addbeforeocplist 1 \UTFArUni \addbeforeocplist 1 \UniCUni \addbeforeocplist 1 \CUniArab \nullocplist \pushocplist\UTFArOCP} \input m-gamma.tex \input type-omg.tex \switchtobodyfont[omarb,12pt] % \textdir TRT% \pardir TRT% \ArabicUTF \starttext ØŒ Ø› ØŸ Ø¡ Ø¢ Ø£ Ø¤ Ø¥ Ø¦ Ø§ Ø¨ Ø© Øª Ø« Ø¬ Ø Ø® Ø¯ Ø° Ø± Ø² Ø³ Ø´ Øµ Ø¶ Ø· Ø¸ Ø¹ Øº Ù€ Ù Ù‚ Ùƒ Ù„ Ù… Ù† Ù‡ Ùˆ Ù‰ ÙŠ \blank[big] %Ù‹ ÙŒ Ù ÙŽ Ù Ù Ù‘ Ù’ Ù Ù¡ Ù¢ Ù£ Ù¤ Ù¥ Ù¦ Ù§ Ù¨ Ù© Ùª Ù« Ù¬ Ù° Ù± Ù² Ù³ Ù´ Ùµ Ù¶ Ù· Ù¸ Ù¹ Ùº Ù» Ù¼ Ù½ Ù¾ Ù¿ Ú€ Ú Ú‚ Úƒ Ú„ Ú… Ú† Ú‡ Úˆ Ú‰ ÚŠ Ú‹ ÚŒ Ú ÚŽ Ú Ú Ú‘ Ú’ Ú“ Ú” Ú• Ú– Ú— Ú˜ Ú™ Úš Ú› Úœ Ú Úž ÚŸ Ú¢ Ú¡ Ú¢ Ú£ Ú¤ Ú¥ Ú¦ Ú§ Ú¨ Ú© Úª Ú« Ú¬ Ú Ú® Ú¯ Ú° Ú± Ú² Ú³ Ú´ Úµ Ú¶ Ú· Úº Ú» Ú¼ Ú¾ Û€ Û Ûƒ Û„ Û… Û† Û‡ Ûˆ Û‰ ÛŠ Û‹ ÛŒ Û Û‘ Û’ Û“ Û” Û• Û° Û± Û² Û³ Û´ Ûµ Û¶ Û· Û¸ Û¹ \blank[big] Ù€Ù‹ Ù€ÙŒ Ù€Ù Ù€ÙŽ Ù€Ù Ù€Ù Ù€Ù‘ Ù€Ù’ Ù€Ù° Ø§ Ø¨ Ø¬ Ø¯ Ù‡ Ùˆ Ø² \stoptext ============================================== Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
