Announce: etexshow, texshow for emacs
by Patrick Gundlach 09 Jan '03

09 Jan '03

Dear ConTeXt hakers, I am happy to announce the very first version of etexshow, a texshow clone for my favorite os: emacs. You can download it from http://levana.de/emacs/etexshow/etexshow.tgz If you are fast enough, you can smell the fresh, oven-warm bytes of the new tgz-archive. It is rather small (something around 30 k). See inside etexshow.el for info. This has been tested under emacs 21.* on Linux and MacOS X. Since this is an alpha version, there are some minor problems. See file todo. Patrick

Hi, There's a small typo in math-tex.tex (line 220 in my version): \definemathsymbol [flat] [ord] [sy] ["5B] ...should be... \definemathsymbol [flat] [ord] [mi] ["5B] Now to figure out how to get that symbol to show up within euler. Anyone know how to determine the symbols in a given font? adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=note-new-mobile-number-=-=- Adam Lindsay +44(0)7812 125 229 atl(a)alum.mit.edu 1 Crofters Fold, Galgate, Lancaster, LA2 0RB, UK http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/atl/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

texexec returns 1 when generating format file
by Patrick Gundlach 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Dear ConTeXt hackers, when issuing the command 'texexec --make --alone en' the cont-en format gets generated. Everything is nice except that texexec returns status code "1", which on unix systems means failure. Is there any way to get a "0"? Patrick

Wrong bookmarking, please help
by varheit＠gmx.de 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Dear all, Below I have included a document source which causes a lot of trouble. It includes a split table, which seems to corrupt the bookmarking. If you click on the links in the bookmark tab in acrobat reader, it takes you to the wrong pages. I noticed the ext4 warning produced by pdftex (see log excerpt below), but I have no idea how to fix this. In addition, I would like to make the table float. Could somebody tell me how to set this up with \splitfloat? I tried nearly every setup I could think of, but without any succes so far. Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

something new, user-interfacing to context
by Hans Hagen 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hi, I uploaded a first version of the lightweight eXaMpLe framework. Think of a user interface to: - interactive page imposition (more extensive than texexec, including test bed; more documentation will follow) - an interface to pstopdf, a script on top of ghostscript, which provides a couple of goodies. Processes like these are driven bij xml-data streams and handled by a service on localhost (more extensive distributed processing is under construction). The example things are distributed in a separate zip: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-exa.zip you can unzip both in your local tree and generate formats as usual. If you launch .../context/examplap/gui/examplap.pdf and browse a bit around, you'll get an idea what is happening. In order for it to really work, a couple of things are needed: (1) you need to install ruby and have ruby in your bin path (2) you need to launch exampler.rb --continue more can be found in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ex-gui.pdf There will be a lot more, for instance interfaces to the figure library, correspondence, etc. The low level things are under construction, so don't start building on it yourself before eximple.pdf and example.pdf go public (manuals). I tested in with fptex/windows; later i will make it miktex ready (waiting for input from mr bigfoot); linux works here, but probably also needs some work.

a recent change in double-sided pagination?
by Bill McClain 30 Dec '02

30 Dec '02

It seems that the behaviour of \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] has changed in the last couple of months. Jobs that once correctly produced an even count of pages now produce an odd count. In viewing a two-page spread in Acrobat, the first page is correctly a right-hand page, but the last page is a bogus one, also a right-hand page. The document should end on the left. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2002.12.20 from the beta download page. -Bill -- Sattre Press Curiosities of the Sky http://sattre-press.com/ by Garrett Serviss info(a)sattre-press.com http://csky.sattre-press.com/

Midaligned text above columns
by Willi Egger 29 Dec '02

29 Dec '02

Hi Hans, I tried to use columns. I wanted to have a headerline midaligned above the columns. Whatever I try the headerline is only partially centered.... If I compile the test file without using columns, then the headerline is nicely centered above the text. Do I make a mistake? Best regards Willi
