MetaFun experts, In my document I want to automatically set a reference on the front cover The following line puts the value of nkdocument@Reference into the document \getvalue{nkdocument@Reference} But \setMPtext{FrontCover}{\getvalue{nkdocument@Reference}} Does not put the value into \MPbetex{FrontCover} What do you think I am doing wrong TIA -- Nigel King CTO Orthogon Systems The information contained within this e-mail, and any files transmitted with it, is confidential and is intended solely for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

References not working when arranging pages
by Mikael Persson 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Hello! When I use \setuparranging I can't get the references to work. I use the latest beta. If i just comment the line with \setuparranging it works perfectly. Have I missed something? Here is a small document showing the problem: %%% Begin testdocument \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuparranging[2SIDE,rotated] \setuplayout[location=middle, marking=on] \starttext Here is an equation \placeformula[eq:testeq] \startformula \sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)=1. \stopformula As we see in formula~(\in[eq:testeq]) this doesn't work. \stoptext %%% End testdocument Best regards, Micke P

how to use designsize

Hallo! After asking some questions about installing metafont's, I have not made any progress. I would like to show the problem with J. Knappen's EC-fonts. To access this fonts I adapted my little typescript: -----------------type-kna.tex-------------------------- \starttypescript [serif] [knappen] [name] \definefontsynonym [serif] [ecrm1000] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [knappen] [size] \definebodyfont [5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm0900 sa 1] \definebodyfont [9pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm0900] \definebodyfont [10pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1000] \definebodyfont [10.95pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1095] \definebodyfont [12pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1200] \definebodyfont [14.4pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1440] \definebodyfont [17.28pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1728] \definebodyfont [20.74pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm2074] \definebodyfont [24.88pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm2488] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Knappen] \definetypeface [Knappen] [rm] [serif] [knappen] [knappen] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript --------------------------------------------------------------- and used the following testfile: --------------------tst.tex--------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile [type-kna] \usetypescript [Knappen] \setupbodyfont [Knappen] \starttext \chapter{Fest} Gottes. \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Problem: 'ecrm2074 at 600', which exists, should be used! 'ecrm1200 at1036.8' is used instead! How can this be corrected? Thank you for your help! Wolfgang

Bug in Enumerations
by Slawek Zak 30 May '03

30 May '03

There is a bug in enumerations' implementation. The following example is nearly literally taken from english ConTeXt manual (cont-eni.pdf, p. 224) See this example: \defineenumeration[step] [location=left,text={},width=2em] \setupenumerations[step] [headstyle=bold] \setupenumerations[substep][headstyle=slanted] \starttext \step One \par \substep Two \par \stoptext The headstyle for substep is bold, just like for step, and not slanted as stated in the manual. Help, please :) /S PS: Hans, are there any chances to get the new beta with backgrounds' recalculation bug fixed? Latest beta is from before BachoTeX ;)

Hi, I want to see active URL in my pdf document in similar way that is used by <a....>....</a> tag in html So I have written \setupinteraction[state=start] then \useexternaldocument [doc:Molik] [http://zskl.zsk.p.lodz.pl/~morawski/local/Praca dyplomowa p. Molika.pdf] [Metody routingu unikastowego] then I try to use \from, \goto; \url and even if I see the link, it is not active then I try: \useURL [Molik] [http://zskl.zsk.p.lodz.pl/~morawski/local/Praca dyplomowa p.

Math and Bibliography Problems
by Adam Tee 29 May '03

29 May '03

Hi, I'm new to context and am having a few problems. When I try to process the following $0 \stackrel{4}{\rightarrow}$ I get ! Undefined control sequence. Is there support for stackrel or is there an alternative. Also, I'm having problems with generating a bibliography with context an bibtex. As bibtex only utilises the .aux file and context does not seem to output one. What is the solution. Thanks Adam

weird " [preference] " appearing with \splitfloat
by Sebastian Rooks 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hi Contexters, I would like to use the \splitfloat command (see the test sample attached) as in http://ml-archives.mini.pw.edu.pl/ntg-context/msg02441.html But how do I get rid of the word " [preference] " which appears just before the table ? I am using the latest stable (ver 2003.03.11) with miktex 2.3 Any idea ?

document structure facility
by Fabian Doerk 26 May '03

26 May '03

Hey all, i've a question regarding the context document structuring facility. Maybe you can show me the right direction or show me what i made wrong. I'am currently working on a semester project, whose goal it is to build a CVS/ConTeXt Server accessible via Zope webapplications (an selfmade documentation management system). Our approach is to split the per semster documentation in products and the texts in components. The whole documentation is integrated in a project. Via webfrontend the user will be able to generate either the whole documentation of all semesters (project, including all products) or just one product. We've created a hierarchical directory structure like the following excerpt: CVSROOT/ ReaktorDocs/ Complete/ Makefile ReaktorDocs.tex (projectfile) path.tex (included by ReactorDocs.tex) products.tex (included by ReactorDocs.tex) Semester01/ Documentation/ Makefile Semester01.tex (product file) figures/ ... text/ Makefile semester01_txt001.tex (component file) semester01_txt002.tex (component file) Protocols/ ... Semester02/ ... Semester03/ ... Styles/ p-eng-doc-default.tex (environment file) p-eng-prot-default.tex (environment file) ... We've got it working in so far that the user can checkout one modul and gets the Semester directory and the styles directory (of course an cvs issue). The compilation of either one product or the whole project works too, via help of \usepath and tex conditions in every product file, which detects whether the front/back -matters should be omitted (for project compilation) or beeing kept (for product compilation). The only thing i can't figure out, is why the counter for \part and \chapter (probably all sectioning commands used in the products) resets per product. Is there any solution for that problem or a workaround to display an continuous \placecontent in the project scope? thanks in advance, Fabian Doerk

how to dismantle parametrized macro

Dear ConTeXters, I am a bit stuck about how to handle the key-value mechanism of ConTeXt.
