All, I am following this thread and I can report the same result as Holger. \setupformulae[align=right] \starttext \placeformula[david] \startformula \eqalignno{% left & right & \formulanumber \cr left & right & \formulanumber \cr } \stopformula \stoptext Gives this result. ! You can't use `\halign' in math mode. \eqalignno ...displ@y \tabskip \centering \halign to \displaywidth {\hfil $\... l.10 } May I ask how I can reference each of these equations separately in the text? That is, how can I give a different label to each equation in the alignment, then reference each one independent of the other? Thanks.

All right, I used \stopformula ... And I just found out the reason, it seems: I used \setupformulae[align=right] Then, if I use $$ instead of \startformula, I get centered formulas anyway. If I remove the \setupformulae, then I can also use \startformula ... So in the moment I have resolved to using centered formulae. Best regards, -- Holger F. Schoener TU Berlin; Dept.

Aligned numbered math formulas
by Holger Schöner 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

Hello, For a publication I need to typeset a lot of math formulas. To make them as comprehensible as possible, I need a few specialties, and would appreciate any suggestions you can provide: 1) Some of the formulas should be numbered, some not; and at the same time I would like to align several of them. For alignment I seem to be able to use \eqalign (or \startalign ... \stopalign from the t-amsl.tex sent around here lately). But if I place a \placeformula in front of this, the whole aligned block only gets one number; I would need a number for every line (or even better: a possibility to state, which lines should be numbered, and which not). By looking into core-mat.tex I found the commands \formulanumber and \subformulanumber which I can add after each line, if I want it to be numbered. Unfortunately they only set numbers, if the whole aligned block also is numbered (by using \placeformula), and they furthermore do not put the number beside the right margin, as is done by \placeformula, but directly where the \formulanumber appears. How can I enable the numbers even when not using \placeformula (or when using \placeformula[-]), and how can it put the numbers next to the right margin? 2) What are the keywords "alternative" and "indentnext" in \setupformulae meant for? Is there any documentation available concerning math formulae, besides "ConTeXt, the manual"? 3) I'd like to be able to set more than one line below large math operators, e.g. something like \sum_{m: \\ 1 \leq m \leq M}. Unfortunately this does not work as expected (it seems to conflict with the \startalign block). Is there another possibility? 4) Using the alignment features (\eqalign or \startalign, \stopalign) I often have the problem, that the (quite space consuming) formulas all appear on the next page, separated from its introductory text. I would like to have either also the introductory text put onto the next page (but neither \page[no] between text and formulas, nor \page[preference] before the introductory text work), or alternatively, to be able to (automatically) break the formulas inside the alignment block (whether alignment is kept up or not between pages does not matter for me). Is there a solution for either way?

extra page when using alternative=doublesided and bodymatter (fwd)

Hello all, (2nd repost) I have the following problem: Using \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,right}] \startbodymatter \chapter{Hi} \stopbodymatter I always get 3 pages, but I want to have two: The recto (first page) with "Hi" and its verso (second page; backside of the first), I don't want to have an extra recto (third page)!

some XML stuff (and bugs?)
by Martin Kolařík 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hi all, I have some problems with XML and ConTeXt, some of them are probably not implemented in ConTeXt yet. 1. XML contains <type><tag></type> I define \defineXMLargument [type] \type ConTeXt outputs <tag> It is interesting that inside \bTD..\eTD it is typeset correctly (<tag>). 2. Is there a way to get some piece of processed XML code into buffer (preserving blanks)? The first-approach solution of course does not work: \defineXMLenvironment [buffer] \startbuffer \stopbuffer never finds \stopbuffer. I suceed if \stopbuffer occured in XML code, but this is not the proper way :-). I also suceed when I defined \defineXMLenvironment [buffer] {\dostartbuffer [bname] [StartBuffer][/bufferdef>]} \relax and in the XML I wrote \</bufferdef>... So, how to implement somehow \defineXMLverbatim [buffer] ... which finds (and stops) reading on </buffer>? 3. if XML entity is placed before \par (e.g. in verbatim XML source, where an empty line occurs) ConTeXt fails with reading entity #2 parameter (Runaway? error). Maybe \long for \def\remapXMLentity should be used? 4. if I use <math><buffer/></math> it does not work -- <math> implementation using \XMLremapdata[mml] does not find any MML tag. Anyhow, I did not suceed with pre expansion of <buffer/> -- probably, if I am able to expand (get content of) <buffer/> (it contains MML tags) it would work. 5. some expansion stuffs, I expect it is a behaviour :-) but it would be pretty if it is possible. I did not suceed with using \getbuffer (aka all \process...buffer) in expanded environment. Simple use of \message{\getbuffer[somebuffer]} fails. If such expansion is possbile probably 4. would be solved too.

pagemark code works no more with arranging 3SIDE
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hello esp. Hans! I told you more than once about my address book. ;-) You wrote this nice code for me, that calculates the first and last name on the page: --- \def\RegisterPageMark#1#2% #1=Class #2=Text {\iftrialtypesetting \else \doglobal\increment\MNamCounter% \textreference[#1:t:\MNamCounter]{#2}% \doifreferencefoundelse{#1:t:\MNamCounter} {\doifundefined{#1:f:\currentrealreference}% {\setxvalue{#1:f:\currentrealreference}% {\noexpand\in[#1:t:\MNamCounter]}} \setxvalue{#1:l:\currentrealreference}% {\noexpand\in[#1:t:\MNamCounter]}}% {}% \fi} \def\GetFirstOnPage#1{\getvalue{#1:f:\realfolio}} % #1=Class \def\GetLastOnPage#1{\getvalue{#1:l:\realfolio}} % #1=Class \setupheadertexts [][\GetFirstOnPage{MNam}--\GetLastOnPage{MNam}] \def\Name#1{\bf #1\RegisterPageMark{MNam}{\FirstNCharacters{4}{#1}}} --- It doesn't work with the arranging "3SIDE" or even "XY" with three pages on A4 landscape. The headers show only the dash. I can't tell how arranging is involved in this counter stuff. Is there a simple solution? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

How can I use the lmodern fonts with context?
by Helmut Schwertner 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hello, what is to do if I want to use the Latin Modern Fonts with context? Today I have installed the LM package (0.86 of 04.08.2003) of the Latin Modern family of fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format under Miktex and it works with latex wonderful (and this fonts are wonderful too). Thanks, Helmut

letter manual
by kopszak＠mnw.art.pl 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hello, Today I realized the last thing I use LaTeX for is writing letters (mainly because of old stylesheets I once produced). I would like to switch to ConTeXt obviously. Do I remember right that a letter manual was mentioned here some time ago? What happened to it? If it's not available could you mention any ConTeXt comands aimed at writing letters specifically?
