Get adobekb.tex from http://levana.de/context and use \setupencoding[default=8r] \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino] There is no need to install new fonts.

PDF bookmark
by Guo Yang 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

Hi, all Excuse me if this is well known, but I couldn't find on the manual. I have several questions: 1. How to add an entry to the PDF bookmark? I tried placebookmarks[title,chapter,section] but it doesn't work. 2. How to add an entry in the list of contents if I use subject instead of section, and how to add this in the bookmark. I tried define a new list and changed the content compinedlist but nothing happened . 2. How to add a pair of '[' ']' around the number of footnotes? Thanks, Guo

setuphead(s), subject, alternative=inmargin
by Mathias.Picker＠virtual-earth.de 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

Is this supposed to work?? I'm using ver: 2003.1.31 and try to do the following, right out of the handbook: \setupheads[alternative=inmargin] \subject{Some Text} and expected the subject to start in the margin. It does not, and I found out that this seems to work only for numbered heads like section et al. How do I put a subject in the margin, possibly while using a command to make it white on black (I can do that, only it's not in the margin....)

alternative setting of comments
by Adam Lindsay 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

I was wondering if anyone who works with the verbatim environments has tried to set comments in a different style. It would be ideal to be able to set comments in \tf text font or some variant. I'm not really interested in colors at the moment. The immediate need is for working with a Pascal-like language, but I've been a bit baffled as to how to grab and process XML comments also (though I haven't look at that recently). Thanks in advance for any hints, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Latex Fonts as per adobekb.tex
by Nigel King 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

I have been forced to redo my font allocations because of Gerbens i-installer for MacOSX no longer seems to allow texfont to work. fontroot is not set correctly and then when I put in the correct setting the font subpaths are not found even though they are clearly there. Patrick has lead me to the delights of Latex Fonts via his script adobekb.tex which works well for most of my existing documents. However, I have a small problem with graphs in metapost the following startup is used but the fonts for the scales do not come out. input metafun ; verbatimtex \usetypescriptfile[adobekb] \setupencoding [default=8r] \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[times] \starttext etex input graph init_numbers (textext("$-$"), textext("$1$"), textext("${\times}10$"), textext("${}^-$"), textext("${}^2$")); Fe_base := textext("$10$") ; prologues:=2; Any help is most welcome -- Nigel

Partially moving from LaTeX to ConTeXt
by Vittorio 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

At last, I 'almost' made up my mind about using ConTeXt to write generic document (for me and my daughters' school), report and manuals at work. The only snag at this very moment is that - being my Company M$-Windows addicted, specifically as far as Word is concerned - I don't know if there is any free software to translate a document from ConTeXt to word, even partially (something like the katex2rtf package for latex).

Caption size of math
by Mikael Persson 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

Hello everybody! I use a ConTeXt beta that is a week old or so on teTeX. When I change the caption size to small with \setupcaptions[style=small] I get small text as I want, but the size of math in captions are at the normal size. How should I do to get even the math in the smaller font? Here is a document that shows the problem. ==== start test document \setupcaptions[style=small] \starttext \input knuth \reservefigure[here][fig:lambdarmax]{A $\lambda$-$r_M$-diagram. The solution of equation (1) when $\lambda=3.5299$. When $\lambda=3.53$ se see that we don't get a solution.} \input knuth \stoptext ==== stop test document Thanks in advance, Micke P

Hello Hans and all, I cannot find the Correspondence manual at the Pragma site (xcorresp.pdf, I think, should be the name). Are those macros not available or out of date? -- --------------- Victor Sanchez Urrutia PhD Director de Sistemas de Información Promed S.A.

Attaching dvi file again, and Cc'ing the list. (I hope attachments are OK when they're as small as this?) The erroneous version comes from the Solaris installation (which isn't really mine). I ran the same code on the Linux installation, and there \tfx and \tfxx worked just fine. (Still a bit confused about such things as \ss and \sc here -- \ss seems to simply use Palatino, and \sc doesn't seem to produce small caps...?) > Patrick -- Magnus Lie Hetland "Nothing shocks me.
