Strange error while generating format
by Matt Gushee 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hello, all-- I am trying to set up a new version of ConTeXt (the latest stable version, I guess? I downloaded it from Pragma ADE yesterday). But when I run 'texexec --make en' I get the following error: (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/page-imp.tex loading : Context Core Macros / Pagebody Building system (E-TEX) : [line 736] \dimexpr ! Undefined control sequence. l.743 \setuppaper ? I say this is strange because I'm sure \setuppaper is defined--and if it weren't, surely it would have been noticed and corrected by now. I think all ConTeXt files are in their proper places ... at least, they are in the same places they were in a previous working installation. Some pertinent facts: TeX distribution: teTeX 1.0.2 Major addons: pTeX 2.0 (but as far as I know this doesn't replace core files) Platform: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Maybe the files are getting loaded in the wrong order? But I can't think of any reason why that might happen. Or have I missed some important step? P.S.: I think there's something missing from the installation guide (minstall.pdf): teTeX users may need to edit $TEXMF/web2c/fmtutil.cnf in order to enable texexec to find 'cont-*.ini'. -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USA Horses bear manure through mgushee(a)havenrock.com its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.)

Macros for Croatian dj & DJ
by Gour 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hello Hans! Here I'm again :-) In order to completely solve the issues with typesetting Croatian texts with ConTeXt I've found a file with TeX macros which produce correct \DJ - you can see the attached file dj.tex I have also included snapshot (DJ.jpg) which shows dstroke & Dstroke produced with these new macros (default cmr font). I commented present definition for DJ in enco-mis.tex and replaced it with the following: \def\pseudoencodedDJ % like in babel, but safer {\leavevmode \rlap{\kern 0.05em\raise 0.76ex\hbox {\vrule height 0.10ex width 0.28em}}D} However, I hope that there is some room for improvement, but being not proficient in programming TeX, I am humbly asking you to use your TeX expertise to resolve this issue once and for all. Personally, I'm so exciting to be able to typeset Croatian with utf-8 encoding in ConTeXt (I'm also using dbcontext package to transform DocBook XML --> ConTeXt, but we need some ConTeXt help to achieve better transformation.) Please, excuse me for bothering you but I'm sure it is something to extend present ConTeXt usability. Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

incrementnumber of part vs. not showing up in table of contents
by Mark A. Lilly 01 May '03

01 May '03

Hi, When i \setuphead[part][incrementnumber=no] so that all the chapter numbering will be continuous, the part doesn't show up in my Table of Contents. when i change it to 'yes' or remove incrementnumber, the part shows up in the ToC, but the chapters are now reset to 1 at each part break. I want to have the parts show up in the ToC, but not have chapter numbers reset to 1 at each part. %%%%%%%%sample, change incrementnumber=yes | no \setuphead[part] [incrementnumber=no] \setuphead [chapter] [number=yes] \placecontent \starttext \part{one} \chapter{c1} \input tufte \chapter{c2} \input tufte \part{two} \chapter{c3} \input tufte \stoptext %%%%%%%end test thanks, mark ps - is there a difference for this list between using \input tufte and \input knuth?

Docbook In Context: new version uploaded
by Simon Pepping 01 May '03

01 May '03

Hi, I have uploaded a new version of DocbookInContext. This version has an implementation of attribute actions on an experimental basis; see the file Customization for an explanation and details. Of course the release also contains numerous new small features and fixes. The release has been tested with the Context version of 4 March 2003. Known problem of this release: Sometimes Context inserts a spurious pagebreak; this seems to be connected with the use of backgrounds. I have noted a similar problem with the Index. You can find DocbookInContext at http://www.hobby.nl/~scaprea/context/. Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping email: spepping(a)scaprea.hobby.nl

repetition of table headers with nattab
by Gour 01 May '03

01 May '03

Hi! Is it possible to achieve repetition of table headers with natural tables model? I also have problem to get split tables by using \setupTABLE[split=yes]. It's only possible with \bTABLE[split=yes] as I've found in ml archive. My version of ConTeXt is: ConTeXt ver: 2003.4.22 fmt: 2003.4.29 int: english mes: english Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

small font size for figure captions
by Ed L Cashin 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi. I am having trouble finding how to get a smaller font size for the text like, "Figure 1.1 Dinosaurs are Fun". I can change the font size for "Dinosaurs are Fun" manually, but then "Figure 1.1" stays big, which looks funny. I didn't see a setupfigures command, but I bet I'm missing something like that. -- --Ed L Cashin PGP public key: http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

Installation problems
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hallo! I don't understand fontinstallation and fontselection at all. I tryed the following: ---------------------------------------------- \setupbodyfont[ppl] \starttext Blub. \stoptext ---------------------------------------------- First the tfm for 'ec-uplr8a' is not found. Why? What have I to change? Then I used Patricks 'adobekb' and the two lines: ---------------------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile[adobekb] \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] ---------------------------------------------- in cont-sys.tex I get an error from dvi-viewer, that an pk-file for 'pplr8t' is missing. There is neither an vf-file with this name. Then I tried to change the encoding and changed cont-sys.tex to: ----------------------------------------------- \setupencoding[default=8r] \usetypescriptfile[adobekb] \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] ----------------------------------------------- This time, the pk-file for 'pplr8r' is not found. An equivalent vf-file is missing too. This is the second installation of tetex, the first was debian original, this is TeX Live 7. What can I do, to make the whole thing running? Tired, Wolfgang

numbering of floats
by Martin Kolařík 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi all, I had (have) a problem with numbering of floats. I use three kind of floats, generic figure and table and mine inherited graph. Of course, tables and graph are numbered separately. When the floats would be renumbered (in my case I had "table 3" in the document before "graph 2") the floats are renumbered badly -- result was "graph 3" before "table 2". So floats and their captions ar OK, but numbers not. Any ideas? Thanks and have a nice day, 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

Natural tables alignment
by Martin Kolařík 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi all, before some time I asked if there is some way to define alignment of bTABLE if it is used onside text, not as an float. Hans answered me, if I remember, it needs new option. Was not made some advance? I cannot enclose table into hbox, because this solution denies automatic table splitting (over pages).

Re: [NTG-context] Inclusion of flow chart
by emmanuel.rialland＠sgib.com 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Thanks Hans. Apologies if the discussion doesn't flow very much, I am writing from down under. In fact, what I would ideally like to do is the following: 1- Define a template with the boxes without any arrows. 2- Write numbered lists describing arrows that would be generated on top of the template. The overview might look like the following (with some bogus macro names): % Somewhere in a template file % Template for the boxes: \StartMPTemplate[Boxes] % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ! A ! ! B ! ! C ! % ----- ----- ----- % \startFLOWcell \name {a} \location {1,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss A} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {b} \location {2,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss B} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {c} \location {3,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss C} \stopFLOWcell \StopMPTemplate ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the first chapter \startcomponent Right \Chapter{Every to the right} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Right] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % Place the float \placefigure [here,force] [fig:chart1] {Chart One} {\framed{\FLOWchart[Right]}} % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=a,fromside=r,to=b,toside=l] This is the first arrow. \arrow[labels=number,from=b,fromside=r,to=c,toside=l] This is the second arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! 1 ! ! 2 ! ! % ! A !---->! B !---->! C ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The text should appear below the float as \startitemize would have done % 1 This is the first arrow. % 2 This is the second arrow. ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the next chapter \startcomponent Left \Chapter{Every to the left} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Left] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=c,fromside=r,to=a,toside=l] This is the top arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % !------------------------------ % ! ----- ----- ----- ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! % -->! A ! ! B ! ! C !--! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The idea is that everything is dynamic: - if the template changes, all the graphs get redrawn with the boxes at their new place. The arrows get moved as needed. - if the itemised text is changed (say the 'second arrow' line is written before the 'first arrow'), then on the graph, the arrow from a to b would be numbered 2 and the arrow from b to c would become 1. What I tried is the definition you see at the top for the boxes. Then, to generate the first graph, I would have: --------------------------------------------------- \startFLOWchart[chart] % Inserts template \includeFLOWchart[template][x=1,y=1] % Additional information on top of cell a \startFLOWcell \name {a} \connection [rl] {b} \comment [t] {\ss 1} \stopFLOWcell % Additional information on top of cell b \startFLOWcell \name {b} \connection [rl] {c} \comment [t] {\ss 2} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart --------------------------------------------------- All I get is the template without any arrows. I thought about trying to generate massive metafun macros. But I want the itemised text to be text and not a graph. Bottom line: is it possible? realistic? I have been using MS Word so far to do that sort of thing. It has been quite tedious to reflect any change in the box structure: 10 charts means 10 charts to re-edit. As a bonus question that should be easier. Is it possible to draw other sorts of arrows: i would like to draw straght line arrows that could follow a diagonal (say go north-east instead of east first then north), or circular arrows like: % % ----- % ! ! % ! !<-- % ----- \ % \ % | % ----- / % ! ! / % ! A !<-- % ----- As usual any help is welcome.
