Chinese Number Problem
by Guo Yang 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

I am trying to set up ConTeXt to work properly with Chinese. Everything seemed fine until I discovered that there is some problem with the Chinese numbers. I have a TeX file with several chapters. I used texexec and dvipdfmx generated the PDF file without problems. But I found there are two things wrong (which supposed to be working). The first is that the two Chinese charaters before the list of contents (corresponding to the 'Contents' before English text) are missing. The second, all the chinese characters before the chapter titles in the list of contents are missing (corresponding to the English text 1 or 1.1, etc.). I tried to figure out what the problem is. I read file font-chi.tex and found some commands like: \def\chinesedigit#1#2% #2: suffix, here * or \empty {\udigit{\chineseencoding}{\number#1#2}} \def\normalchinesenumber#1% {\expandafter\dochinesenumber\number#1\relax\empty} I tried to use these commands in my file directly. But they didn't produce any output there, even no space left for the numbers inside {}. I am using MikTeX under Windows XP. I used the latest ConTeXt beta to get the dvipdfmx working. Your help will be appreciated greatly! Guo

Customizing texutil --purge
by mari.voipio＠iki.fi 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

I know I saw the answer to my question on the list couple of weeks back, but I seem to have lost it and search in the mailing list archives on the word "purge" gives very odd answers... The "Texutil explained" says on page 2 "texutil purge Afterwards, TEXutil reports the number of bytes regained. Optionally, you can pass a file pattern, thereby limiting the cleansing." As I'm a dummy, I don't seem to be able to put this in practice. I would like to get rid of the *.tuo files (and some others as well), so I tried texutil --purge *.tuo texutil --purge .tuo texutil --purge tuo but none of these have any effect whatsoever. So, how do I "pass a file pattern" so that texutil understands that I want to get rid of files called something.tuo? Greetings, Mari from snowy Finland

Cross referencing not working?
by Otared Kavian 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

In December Giuseppe Bilotta reported that cross referencing had disappeared. Then it came back (at least until two weeks ago...) and again it has somehow disappeared, or it has a weird behavoir (from version: ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2003.2.4 int: english mes: english) Below is an example: if I put the "formula 1" before "formula 2" nothing gets numbered. However the other way around "formula 1" gets numbered but not "formula 2", nor "formula 3". Any comment is welcomed. Cheers: OK %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext Let us try the cross-reference macros in \ConTeXt: the following should be numbered % this is formula 2 \placeformula[equation2] $$ 1 + e^{i \pi} = 0. $$ and % this is formula 1 \startformula[equation1] 1 + e^{i \pi} = 0. \stopformula Equation (\in[equation1]) or (\in[equation2]) establishes an intersting relation between the most important numbers: $1$, $e$, $i := \sqrt{-1}$, $\pi $ and $0$. However for some unknown reason the \ConTeXt\ commands \type{\placeformula[equation2]}, \type{\startformula[equation1]} and \type{\in[reference]} do not work anymore\dots{} And this also should be numbered: % this is formula 3 \startformula[equation3] 1 + e^{i \pi} = 0. \stopformula \bigskip Where is the problem? \stoptext

more on typescripts (and optical sizes)
by Bruce D'Arcus 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

I am slowly making progress on this font installation (well, it works with LaTeX, not yet with ConTeXt). However, could I do something like this with a ConTeXt typescript? \DeclareFontShape{T1}{minion}{m}{n}{ <-6> MinionPro-SemiboldCapt-8t <6-9> MinionPro-Capt-8t <9-12> MinionPro-Regular-8t <12-15> MinionPro-Subh-8t <15-> MinionPro-Disp-8t}{\romanprotruding} This is from the LaTeX fd file, and what is useful is that it automatically switches optical size (caption, regular, subhead, and display) based on the size of the font.

Hello Hans et al! I scanned through the sources, but couldn't find the new keys of \setupmarking that we discussed. Would you help me, please? End of this week I must deliver my book, and until then the ellipses in header and toc must be gone... Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- www.fiee.net/texnique/ www.ramm.ch/context/

inserting additional text into BibTeX cites
by Adam Lindsay 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Hi m-bib users, I might have overlooked this, but how can I insert "arbitrary" text inside a \cite[]? I want to put page numbers inside the occasional citation (for verbatim quotations). I currently cite in authoryears format (Hoekwater, 1999), but for some citations would like to insert text of the form (Hoekwater, 1999, pp. 5--9). Can it be done? What have I ignored?
