special _______________________ headertexts
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi! As usually chick got a problem which seems to have easy answer. Let's say I want to set header/footer text which has the following order: chaptername _____________________________ pagenumber I tried \setupheadertexts[\thinrule] \setupheadertexts[chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] but that is not what I really need. Chaptername and pagenumber are underlined by thinrule and I want to separate thinrule and text with given glue/kern. I hardly try to avoid construction such as: \setupheadertexts[\ifodd\pageno\line{\chaptername \hrulefill \pagenumber}\else...\fi] where \chaptername is a previously defined reference to chapter title... Is there any other way to do that? I'm sure there is... Pawe/l

When changed the minimal example to... \definepagebreak [chapter] [empty,header,right] \setuphead [chapter] [page=chapter,] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \stopbodymatter \stoptext ... we have page numbers on (empty) page number 4, 18 and 19! Plus there are two strange empty empty pages before the TOC?! Steffen

OT: MP source docu
by Jens-Uwe Morawski 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, i'm currently writing a MP package and would like to have a printable source documentation. 'texexec --module' does this job very well, but there are two things that i would have changed for my documentation (not in general): - it always writes "ConTeXt" on top of the title page. Since my package is not related to ConTeXt, how can i replace it with a different title, i.e. the package name? - how can i activate an other color palette for pretty printing of the MP code? Thanks in advance Jens

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 19 Sep '03

19 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
