context + omega + tetex 2.0 : success story
by zamri 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

hello all, after on-and-off effort, I finally get context + omega working. The result is impressive. hat off to hans and idris samawi for their effort. omega is a tex version that support utf-8 input. it can be used to typeset arabic. here are some of the things I discovers that might be useful to others; my system: context 2003.1.31 omega 1.23.2.1 tetex 2.0 1. using the command texexec --make --alone --tex=omega en fail. you need to recompile omega. get tetex-src-2.0.tar.gz. I am not a programmer, but know enough to hack bit and pieces. also, I cannot assure whether it safe or not. but, it works. do the usual ./configure and make stuff. After finish, make changes to omegad.h; #define infmaxstrings ( 800000L ) #define supmaxstrings ( 900000L ) #define infmainmemory ( 8000000L ) recompile omega. this is the tricky part. the command I use; (the proper way to make changes is in the .ch files, but I have no idea what to change) gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegaini.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega0.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega1.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega2.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegaextra.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegabis.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega3.c ./../klibtool link gcc -o omega omegaini.o omega0.o omega1.o omega2.o omegaextra.o omega.o omegabis.o omega3.o lib/lib.a ../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la -lm gcc -o omega omegaini.o omega0.o omega1.o omega2.o omegaextra.o omega.o omegabis.o omega3.o lib/lib.a ../kpathsea/STATIC/libkpathsea.a -lm 2. cp this 'omega' to 'bigomega' or whatever you like. 3. do texexec --make --alone --tex=bigomega en 4. you will get cont-en.oft. cp 'cont-en.oft' to 'bigomega.oft' 5. move the .oft format to the usual place. run 'texhash' 6. test. bigomega omtest.tex (* omtest.tex is from gamma.zip from idris ) or this simple file ====== test.tex======= \usemodule[gamma] \starttext \startarab A b t \section{\arab{A b t }} \stoparab \stoptext 6. you get test.dvi, do this to get pdf. odvisp -V -o test.ps test.dvi ps2pdf test.ps I am sure some of the steps can be simplified or corrected by the experts. I think you need to rename the new omega to avoid clash with the original omega. again, thanks to hans and idris. zamri

Description
by Martin Kolařík 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

Hi all, I want to have description placed in marging (location=inmargin) and I want to have description item text wider than width of margin. So the text must be formatted into paragraph. If I use \setupdescription[abc][text={Some long leading text: }] this leading text is typeset in paragraph. If I use \startabc{something after leading}...\stopabc the text "something after leading" does NOT become part of paragraph ans it is typeset in one box (hbox). How to get description title typeset in paragraph? Thanks, Martin

Columns in itemizations
by Giuseppe Bilotta 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

Hello, following up to a recent post on comp.text.tex I'd like to bring forth an enhancement request for itemgroups: in the current implementation it is not possible to set up itemgroups to use the non key=value pairs settings. IOW, one cannot say \defineitemgroup[myitems] \setupmyitems[each][A] and have the items come up numbered with capital letters. Some keywords (like: joinedup) work, some others (the numbering type ones, for example, or "columns") don't work. For what I can see by looking at the code, this depends on these settings being looked for *not* when setting up the itemizations, but in the actual moment when the \start<itemgroup> is issued (this is for example the case for "columns"). Enhancement request: allow all keywords to work. I think the most straightforward way to implement this is to simply store the keywords and put them as default values when \start<itemgroup> is called (this would even, I suspect, simplify the handling of the itemgroup setups ...) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Converting an old setup with new coding
by Coydell Rivers 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

This was one of your first documents, and I notice that there were many "hacks" loaded before compiling. The colored text is the problem. \definieerpapierformaat [CONTEXT] [hoogte=27cm, breedte=36cm] \stelpapierformaatin [CONTEXT] [CONTEXT] \stellayoutin [breedte=15cm, % default hoogte=25cm, % default kopwit=1cm, % aangepast hoofd=2cm, % default voet=2cm, % default linkermarge=3cm, % ingesteld rechtermarge=0cm, % aangepast linkermargeafstand=1cm, % aangepast rechtermargeafstand=1cm, % aangepast linkerrandafstand=.75cm, % aangepast rechterrand=3.888888cm, % aangepast rechterrandafstand=.75cm, % aangepast linkerrand=1cm, % aangepast rugwit=6.25cm] % aangepast \stelinteractiemenuin [rechts] [afstand=.5cm] \stelinteractieschermin [hoogte=16cm, breedte=\papierbreedte, optie=max] \stelachtergrondenin [pagina] [offset=0.25cm, achtergrond=kleur, achtergrondkleur=AchtergrondKleur] \stelachtergrondenin [hoofd,tekst,voet] [linkermarge,tekst] [achtergrond=kleur, achtergrondkleur=wit] This gives a document size of ( 14.17 x 6.3 in ) The 6.3in is the problem, it is not a full page You can leave the translation in "NL"...... As always I thanks you.

Using command in section
by Martin Kolařík 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hi all, I'm using private macro for title of section: \setuphead[section][command=\doTitle] and if I typeset inside this \doTitle#1#2 something like (test code): \vbox to 0pt{ \hsize=3cm \hbox{\vtop{#1}\vtop{#2}} \hbox{\vtop{X} \vtop{The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.}} \vss } I get two boxes -- the first (made from #1 and #2) NOT aligning the first lines of vtop's (#1 is higher) and the second, which is aligned as I expect -- both "X" and "The quick..." in the one "line". So I traced data coming into #2 and content of \vtop filled with it and I saw the #2 contains some vertical glue at the beginning. What should I do to avoid this behaviour? (excluding splitting of the resulting box using low level TeX primitives :-), have a nice day and thanks, Martin -------- Martin Kolarik Moravske Pristroje, a.s., Masarykova 1148, Zlin 76302 tel. +420 603 498 498, fax +420 577 107 171 web: http://www.mii.cz -------- e-mail: kolarik(a)mii.cz e-mail: kolarik(a)click.cz tel. +420 603 535 593

Indenting in description
by Mikael Persson 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello! I have a problem with indent in the description environment (I use the latest beta of ConTeXt). When I have descriptions that are longer than one paragraph I want the next paragraphs indented in the same way as the other parts of the document. Here is a small example showing the problem. ================ start file ================== \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[yes] \definedescription[testdesc][% width=broad, location=serried, headstyle=bold, way=bychapter, text={Testdescription: }] \starttext \section{Some indenting tests} This is just a test paragraph. I want to se if the next paragraph is indented or not. So, sooner or later we will know. \par Is this indented? Yes. \starttestdesc{A nonlucky one} This is just a test paragraph. I want to se if the next paragraph is indented or not. So, sooner or later we will know. \par Is this indented? No, but I want it to be. \stoptestdesc This is just a test paragraph. I want to se if the next paragraph is indented or not. So, sooner or later we will know. \par Is this indented? Yes. \stoptext ================ stop file ================== I also have another question. How can one install Math fonts (lucida)? When I run texfont as with other fonts texfont reports that it is math fonts and the installation fail. Should I add another switch? (I tried with the same switches as I successfully use for other fonts, that is --in and --ma (besides the --ve and --co)) Best regards, Micke P
