Hi, yesterday i've updated context and was surprised that texexec --help only shows: [jens@melior context]$ texexec --help TeXExec 4.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003 --arrange process and arrange --batch run in batch mode (don't pause) --centerpage center the page on the paper --color enable color (when not yet enabled) --environment load some environments first =name : list of environments --fast skip as much as possible --figures typeset figure directory =a : room for corrections =b : just graphics =c : one (cropped) per page --nonstop run in non stop mode (don't pause) --usemodule load some modules first =name : list of modules --xmlfilter apply XML filter =name : list of filters Even 'texexec --help interface' results in no message at all. How can i get the remaining command line options listed? Thanks. Jens

new version again
by Hans Hagen 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, I again uploaded a new version. The reason for this is: (a) a couple of fixes but more important (b) updated texexec's / texutil's / texfont's, esp for windows users; fabrice is putting lot of effort to get the perl things working under windows with spacy paths so please let us know if thinsg run wrong (we may be able to fix things before the win32 texlive binaries are frozen and (c) support for the fourier fonts. in http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texmf-extra.tar you can find the fonts; these will go on the coming texlive/ctan dvd (but not in the tex live main tree) therefore the extra prefix. Of course you can copy the extra tree over your local tree (don't forget mltexlsr).

Dear Willi, Karel and Patrick, I tried your example and got the same misaligned result as yourself and Patrick. However when I made text=, it aligned properly but your number, of course, is not in italics. This may help people who are in a position to know what is going on.

\setuptyping
by Jean-Pierre Le Narzul 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, For typing Java code in a context document, I use \starttyping ... \stoptyping. I have a problem when I configure \setuptyping in the following way : \setuptyping[typing][color=black,style=\ss,escape=/,option=commands] If I put characters like { or _ in my source (between \starttyping and \stoptyping) , they do not appear in the produced document { character is replaced by - character _ character is replaced by ' character etc.... If I configure setuptyping in the following way \setuptyping[typing][color=black,style=\tt,escape=/,option=commands] (just change \ss to \tt) everything is ok ! Any idea ? thanks in advance for any help jp

problems with embedded spaces in file paths (Win32)
by George White 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

I don't normally use Win32, but I want to convert our 4AllTeX addicts to TeX Live 2003. In testing release candidates, I encountered a few problems with context and texexec. The most recent tests were with the Sept. 5 release candidate (using the "install" CD). 1. on Win32, kpsewhich often fails to find texexec.ini. I created a texexec.ini in texmf-var/context/config and verified that it is listed in the ls-R. My conjecture is that this failure occurs if and only if the final component of the nme of the current working directory contains an embedded space, e.g., "C:\My Documents". Texexec takes a very long time to run (searching the texmf trees on an unloved and unwanted PIII 300mhz), so I haven't done a lot of testing/debugging. I haven't encountered any other kpathsea failures. I can work around this by tweaking texexec.pl, but it would be comforting to have an explanation. 2. ConTeXt texexec uses $ENV{"HOME"} to set a value in filename.tmp, e.g., on unix: $ cat try.tex \starttext \input story \stoptext $ texexec try $ cat try.tmp % try.top \unprotect \setupsystem[\c!gebied={/user/gwhite/}] %---- set from $ENV{"HOME"} \setupsystem[\c!n=1] \setupsystem[inputfile=try.tex] \protect If, e.g. HOME="/x y", the formatted document gets an extra page containing "y//cont-err". On Win32, it seems common to have spaces in "%HOME%". In particular, for WinXP, a value appears to be constructed by the texexec.ini binary (created using irun) if %HOME% is not set. I can work around this by asking users to explicitly set HOME to something safe. -- George White <aa056(a)chebucto.ns.ca> <gnw3(a)acm.org> 189 Parklea Dr., Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia B3Z 2G6

How to set paths
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

Hello! In some special cases I need to set paths for input files directly from ConTeXt code not from config file. In manuals \setupexternalfigures is described. Is there any similar command for files that are inputed directly by \input, \typefile \processXMLfile (the last is the most interesting for me) and similar commands? If there isn't any special command for that, how to do that using some abrakadabra:-) Regards, Pawe/l

Bug? setupinteraction makes footnotenumber bold
by Steffen Wolfrum 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

For having the bookmarks when viewing my PDF in Acrobat I use \setupinteraction[state=start] But this forces the footnotenumbers (both in the text and in the footer) to be bold. Is this a known bug? Here a minimal example: %\setupinteraction[state=start] \setupfootnotes[style=italic] \starttext Test Test.\footnote{Fussnotentext} \stoptext With the first line to be (un-)commented. Steffen

Alternate/Swash Font in ConTeXt, how?
by Steffen Wolfrum 17 Sep '03

17 Sep '03

Does any of you cracks has experience in how to use the AGaramondAlternate Font in ConTeXt? I have no problems with the other Expert fonts but this one stays empty. As I am starting with a Mac font I am not sure which encoding to choose for generating the pfb file. Someone already did this journey? Steffen

Unfortunately I use the project structure and have made each chapter a component: \startproduct Kueppers_Buch \project KPPRS_0 \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \component Einleitung \startbodymatter \component Kap_1 \component Kap_2 \stopbodymatter \stopproduct Now the left empty page after the TOC has a pagenumber and also the empty last left page of "Einleitung" befor "Kap_1" begins etc. Is \definepagebreak also extendable for this case?
