Hi, If you are in search for an editor: http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite/wscite.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite/cscite.zip The first file has windows binaries, the second a few properties files; the context specific properties files will also be in the distribution. The tex/mp lexers are already in the official scite distribition but i fixed/adde a few things, so this version is newer. I can generate linux binaries later if there is a need for them. The cscite zip also has a preliminary (installation) manual.

inserting other pdf's
by free 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi, I want to Know if it's possible to add others pdf files to a former one resulting from a ConteXt compilation. It's because I make technical drawings with Autocad wich are printed (at the right scale !) to a pdf file (By Distiller or Amunyi converter), and I want those in more general (text+drawings) documents. One solution is openoffice, but it's not the right place! Thanks a lot, olivier Turlier

setupcolors
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Ahoi! I installed the latest beta this afternoon, and all of my colored flowcharts went black. After some searching I recognized, that \setupcolors syntax has changed, the "system" parameter is dropped. That is, where I had \setupcolors[state=start, system=cmyk] I now must write \setupcolors[state=start, cmyk=yes, mpcmyk=yes, rgb=no] Perhaps someone can use this hint also... Hans, I thought you were a backward compatibility freak? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Hi: >>I have the same trouble as Willi. My SciTEUser.properties is definitely >>not being loaded. If I put the import statements in my >>SciTEGlobal.properties, I get the ConTeXt menu items plus replacement of >>commands while I type. However, there is no colouring and "compile" calls >>LaTeX. Two questions: >>1) Can we use the ConTeXt stuff with the SciTE distribution from the main >>SciTE website, or must we use the one from Pragma? >>2) The standard SciTE distribution's SciTEGlobal.properties imports the >>main latex.properties. Should we delete this? >I wonder why the user props are not loaded, this file should be in you >Document And Setting \ SomeUserName path. If you open the file (options >menu) you can see in the heading where it is located >Hans Setting an environment variable SciTE_HOME to the path of all my SciTE properties files helped. I also changed the "import latex" statment in my SciTEGlobal.properties to "import tex" so that Hans' new tex.properties is loaded instead. I'm almost happy I have some work to do tonight so I can try it out. :-) Best wishes, Matt

XML command synonyms
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi Hans, hi Simon! First of all THANKS a lot for both of you for helpful hints and sugestions. After many tests and experiments I decided to use construction: \def\XMLsynonym#1#2{% \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1/\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2/\e ndcsname \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2\end csname \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:/#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:/#2\e ndcsname} It works ok and suits me best since I (almost) understand HOW it works :) Using constructions which I don't understand makes me a little bit frustrated. I'll do my best to understand other constructions as well. Thanks a lot, Pawe/l

Kind of \setupfootnotes[way={bychapter,bychapterB}] ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi, instead of chapters I use \definehead[LevelOneA][chapter] \definehead[LevelOneB][chapter] As I would like the footnotes numbering reset with new chapters I use \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter] But reseting just works for LevelOneA. How can this be? What would be the right way to reset by two different sections? Thank you, Steffen

minimal button width
by Peter Rolf 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

I want some small empty buttons with exact dimensions. Is there a way to do this with \button or must I use fields (ughh) instead? % interface=en output=pdftex % \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \setupbuttons[strut=no, offset=overlay, framecolor=green, empty=yes] The minimum width of a button depends on the actual bodyfont size. I'm sure that there are good reasons for it. \blank[big] \switchtobodyfont[20pt] But I want smaller {\bf empty} \textreference[test]{test}buttons! \button[width=25mm, height=2.5mm]{Please, print me!}[test] \button[width=2.5mm, height=25mm]{Not this time!}[test] \blank[big] \switchtobodyfont[40pt] Help at 40pt... \button[width=25mm, height=2.5mm]{Now?}[test] \button[width=2.5mm, height=25mm]{Nope!}[test] \stoptext Regards, Peter
