Footnote's gap
by Steffen Wolfrum 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Sorry, I've just asked to fast. Today I have found the \definedescription section ;-) Everything works fine now. Steffen After playing with the various options of \setupfootnotes I still wonder how to set up the gap between the footnote's number and the actual footnote text? And: Does the number has to be outside the textwidth? Somebody knows? Thank you Steffen

Bold and SemiBold
by Steffen Wolfrum 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

I am using the AGaramond font - including both bold AND semibold typefaces. Is there an easy command, or an other easy way, to address both in my document - like \bf and \sb (LaTeX)? Thank you Steffen

texfont batch mode: looks for texfont.pl instead of $0
by Christopher Creutzig 07 Sep '03

07 Sep '03

Hans, texfont type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --fontroot /Users/ccr/Library/texmf/ fails with Can't open perl script "/Users/ccr/bin/texfont.pl": No such file or directory batch line : --en=texnansi --ve=public --co=antt --so=auto etc. Now, /Users/ccr/bin/texfont is a symbolic link to texfont.pl in the installation, so this can't work. The problem is here: my $own_path = "$FindBin::Bin/" ; $FindBin::RealScript =~ m/([^\.]*)(\.pl|\.bat|\.exe|)/io ; Either use $FindBin::RealBin in the first line or use $FindBin::Script in the second line. Mixing the tweo breaks as soon as symbolic links are involved that change the suffix. regards, Christopher Creutzig

m-newmat
by Christopher Creutzig 07 Sep '03

07 Sep '03

Hello everyone, I have three comments wrt m-newmat.tex, version 2000.11.16: I had to change a \startypen into \starttypen to get a typeset version. At the end of the file, Hans was looking for applications of subarrays: $$\sum_{\startsubarray[c] 1\leq i \leq 10\crcr 1\leq j \leq i \stopsubarray} i^j = 11567154195$$ (Actually, I think \\ should work in place of \crcr, too.) The definition of substack looks broken to me: first of all, there is no \simplestartsubstack and secondly the command should not be named \start... since there is no corresponding \stop... command. Suggested code: \def\substack {\startsubarray[c]#1\stopsubarray} (Since the argument will be typeset anyway, I think it should be given in {}, right?) Usage: $$\sum_{\substack{1\leq i \leq 10\crcr 1\leq j \leq i} i^j = 11567154195$$ regards, Christopher Creutzig

distribution of type files for MS fonts
by Henning Hraban Ramm 06 Sep '03

06 Sep '03

Helmut asked about a complete distribution of TeX files for Microsoft's standard fonts, and here it is: http://www.fiee.net/texnique/?menu=0-1-4&lang=en http://www.ramm.ch/fiee/texnique/material/microsoft-fonts4context.zip Unzip the archive in your TeX root (texmf-local or where you installed ConTeXt). You must copy the TTF files to the appropriate place yourself, they're not contained (that would be illegal). Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

ConTeXt, XML and verbatim
by Pawel Jackowski na WP 06 Sep '03

06 Sep '03

I. I'm working on some documentation writen in XML. This documentation contain many nested XML files. To process XML I use simple ConTeXt construction \processXMLfilegrouped{file.xml} (or) \starttext \processXMLfilegrouped{file.xml} \stoptext In XML source nested files are involved by <nested/> tag. To process nested XML files I have defined something like this: \defineXMLcommand [nested] {\processXMLfile{\XMLpar{nested}{src}{}}} It works good. I want to treat each 'newline-char' as a space (in the whole document). For that purpose I use: \catcode`^^M=10 The problem is that it DOESN'T work for nested XML files. How can I set someting like this for the whole XML structure, not only for file processed just 'under' ConTeXt? It works only for the file processed directly by the command \processXMLfile{...} II. Meybe someone knowns how to 'translate' verbatim environments for XML code? I mean how to define environment which I can use in this way <verbatim> .... </verbatim> to get literal content of such XML tag? Thanks, Paweł Jackowski

Re: MetaPost error
by ^Nitram^ 05 Sep '03

Hello >Some more information would be useful: >do ConTeXt files (without metapost stuff) work correctly? Yes - thank You for Your time - now everything looks good. I fixed it by following: -install miktex (large version but I will experimental with small version) -unzip new version of ConTeXt -remove cont-en.efmt file if exists -generate format en -generate specific language format -update and refresh MikTeX database -generate metafun format -copy mem file from fmt folder (where is stored after generate) to /mem/ folder(s) -update and refresh MikTeX database And everything looks good ;) I had some problems with generate metafun format - there I couldn't find mem file on hard disk. Maybe first time I forgot '-update and refresh MikTeX database' ;) This the point for new users: after each operation do it ! ;) I used: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.3) (preloaded format=cont-en 2003.9.4) 4 SEP 2003 23:12 and: ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21 fmt: 2003.9.4 int: english mes: english Best regards Martin
