Hi, I must have completely screwed up my Context installation--files that typeset OK yesterday now won't compile anymore, even for three-liners, I get this error: ! Undefined control sequence. \ejectinsert ...group \noftopfloats \plusthousand \nofbotfloats \zerocount \... \@@pe:last ->\ejectinsert \gotonextpageX \relax \doifbothsidesoverruled \naa... \next1 #1,->\executepagebreakhandler {#1} \doprocesscommaitem \doprocesscommalist ...item \gobbleoneargument #1, ]\relax \global \advance \... <argument> ...ecutepagebreakhandlers {\v!laatste } \egroup \firstofoneargument #1->#1 ... l.9 \stoptext I'm not aware of having installed or modified anything in my installation. Sorry, this is probably a stupid question, I must be missing someting obvious, but could anyone help? Thanks Thomas

new trickery / acrobat 6
by Hans Hagen 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

Hi, Here are some new thingies for pdf freaks: \setupinteraction[state=start] \useattachment[whatever][test.tex] % \setupattachments[\c!symbool={symbol-normal,symbol-down}] \starttext \attachment[whatever] \stoptext This will embed a file and works ok in acrobat <=6. If you have acrobat 6, there is now some rudimentary support for pdf-layering. http://www.pragma-ade.com/temp/pre-dtp.pdf http://www.pragma-ade.com/temp/layers.pdf In acrobat 6, there is a layers tab on the left end of the screen. The pre-dtp file only has layers enabled on the page that talks about layers (fyi, this is the presentation i used for eurotex). Not to be redistributed! ... and of course a new beta, take your most complex document, process it with \showlayoutcomponents, and you'll get access to all text/graphic layers that are in there. Nice for debugging.

Runtime graphics
by Pierre VINET 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

Hi, I run this simple test file test.tex : %&cont-en \setupoutput[pdftex] \runMPgraphicstrue \starttext \startMPrun input graphserieA \stopMPrun \externalfigure[mprun.1] \externalfigure[mprun.2] % \startMPrun input graphserieB \stopMPrun \externalfigure[mprun.1] \externalfigure[mprun.2] \stoptext \end . In the logfile, I got the messages : figures : figureobject test-mprun.1 is reused figures : figureobject test-mprun.2 is reused and twice the figures of graphserieA.mp on test.pdf. Is there a way to avoid the re-use of test-mprun.1 and test-mprun.2, I mean a way to overwrite the files test-mprun.1 and test-mprun.2 ? Or a way to get different names for each metapost output as, for example, graphserieA-mprun.1, graphserieA-mprun.2 and graphserieB-mprun.1, graphserieB-mprun.2 ? I could also give a different number to each of the figures in all of the *.mp files, but this solution is not pacticable since I have plenty of metapost files to process, each of it containing a lot of figures already numbered with almost the same numbers. Moreover, those numbers can not be modified because the figures are elsewhere referenced by their number and by the name of the metapost file. Thanks, --pv

Different behaviour Windows vs. Linux
by Willi Egger 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

Hello everybody, When I compile a MyWay (uses s-mag-*.tex) under Windows everything runs smoothly. When I compile the same file under Linux, where I got also a texlive7 tree installed, the \setupencoding[texnansi] is not read from the cont-sys.ini, though the file contains this statement. - As a consequence Context fails because it is looking for ec-uplr8a instead of texnansi-uplr8a. For the time being I edited the s-mag-00.tex and replaced the \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] by \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi], which solves the hick. Is this a specific Linux issue? Cheers Willi

Defining your own custom numbered itemization
by Frank 08 Jul '03

08 Jul '03

For a simple manual I would like to setup a sort of customized enumerated list, but I don't see how to do this in ConTeXt. What I would like to do have something like \setupitemize[9][inmargin][before=\itemcolor, inbetween=\stopcolor] \startitemize[9] \item This is step 1. \item Followed by step 2 \stopitemize In which the text is set as a numbered list with the numbers in the margin and set in color to make them stand-out. However I don't want to make this the default of the default numbered list using \startitemize[n]. Anyone know the best way to do this? Regards, Frank

How to set font for units
by Frank 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

Hello, How do I setup the font used by the SI-Unit abbreviations. I use something like the following: \usemodule[units] \setupbodyfont[pos,sansserif] \starttext The wavelength of the pulsed Nd:YAG laser is 1.064 \Micro\Meter. \stoptext The bodytext is in Helvetica, but the units are in times. How can I setup ConTeXt to use the sans-serif font for the units as well? Regards, Frank

context2html ??
by Maurice Diamantini 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

Bonjour à tous, I know there is a (*big*) work for converting xml to context, But is there something (an executable or a context package) which would allow us to write some (basic) context file, to html ? I mean something like latex2html or hevea ?
