Re: Typeface Dolly installed on Linux system, but...

Hi Patrick, Thanks for your help, although I'm sorry to say it's still not working. When I run texexec --pdf on your file, I'm getting the next error messages, using your type-dolly.tex. On the other hand: texnansi-uw-dolly.tex still turns out every nice letter of my Dolly font. --- kpathsea: Running mktextfm Dolly-Roman /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation D for Dolly-Roman. /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /usr/share/texmf/fontname/special.map? mktextfm: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input Dolly-Roman This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3.1) kpathsea: Running mktexmf Dolly-Roman !

interactive content in header
by Patrick Gundlach 20 Jan '03

20 Jan '03

Dear ConTeXt users, I'd like to have an interactive table of content in the header (at least somewhere at the top of the page). It should have the current section highlighted. First I have defined an overlay and used it with \setupbackgrounds: \defineoverlay[toc][{\coloredcontent}] \setupbackgrounds[header][text][background=toc,frame=on,state=repeat] But the \coloredcontent behaves weired. \def\coloredcontent{A\par BB} gets typeset as ABB, \currentheadnumber always displays the same number (even with \determineheadnumber[section] before \getcurrentheadnumber) and \placecontent is completely ignored. It should look like this: -------------- section1 | section 2 | section 3 section 4 ------------- ---------------------------- the current page holds some paragraphs of section 2. Now you click on "section 4" and the display changes to: ------------- section1 section 2 section 3 | section 4 | ---------------------------------------- -- I hope it is clear what I'd like to get. How could this be done? Patrick

What DTD for a thesis
by Tobias Burnus 20 Jan '03

20 Jan '03

Hi, I'm considering of writing a thesis using XML (instead of plain ConTeXt). What DTD is best suited? The main point is good output, but I want to be able to convert this document to e.g. HTML without too much hessle. I thought about using ContML + MathML, but I'd like to know whether you have a better suggestion. Tobias

\setupitemize has no effect (beta)
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 19 Jan '03

19 Jan '03

I just noticed that \setupitemize seems to have no effect in the current beta (I haven't tried other versions): \starttext \startitemize[n,packed][stopper=)] \item this \item works \stopitemize \setupitemize[each][packed][stopper=)] \startitemize[n] \item no \item effect \stopitemize \stoptext Or is it used differently? -- Eckhart

Re: [NTG-context] Underlining URLs

The default appearance is boldface. There are a lot of \startnotmode[handout] \setupinteraction [color=blue, style={\tf\underbars}] \setupunderbar [alternative=a, rulecolor=green] \stopnotmode \startmode[handout] \setupinteraction [color=black, style={\em}] \stopmode That implicites that you'll make two different PDFs; one for screen and one for print (--mode=handout).

ConTeXt and SQL
by Pavel Stupin 17 Jan '03

17 Jan '03

Hello, In the roadmap file (http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf) on page 6 ('How things relate' section) there's a figure showing that ConTeXt could exchange data with sql databases. I would like to know the details (e.g. I'm interested in importing data from MySQL databases), but didn't find anything relevant in manuals (cont-eni.pdf and ms-cb-en.pdf). Are there any manuals on that topic? Best wishes, Pavel.

XML entities and PDF bookmarks
by varheit＠gmx.de 17 Jan '03

17 Jan '03

Hi, as it seems, XML intities do not get expanded correctly (see document below). In the example, the bookmark created displays as "About the getXMLentity{lt}chaptergetXMLentity{gt} tag". Am I missing something? Thanks Vik \defineXMLcommand[chapter][id=empty,title=empty] {\expanded{\chapter[\XMLpar{chapter}{id}{}]{\XMLpar{chapter}{title}{}}}} \defineXMLentity[lt] {$<$} \defineXMLentity[gt] {$>$} \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \starttext \completecontent \enableXML <chapter id="refid" title="About the <chapter> tag"> <?context-command \stoptext ?> -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

suppressing hyphenation
by Adam Lindsay 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered before, but does anyone know a ConTeXt-y (i.e., elegant) way of suppressing hyphenation for a block of text? I'm dealing with long chapter headings, and I would rather set them ragged and without hyphenation. I've made tentative experiments with the techniques described here, but to no avail. I tried making a new language [zz] that grabs the zerohyph.tex hyphenation file. TeX complains about seeing a \pattern outside of initex, but it did have the effect of eliminating all hyphenation in my document, which was a bit more than I bargained for. Has anyone done this successfully? No? Should I continue trying the language?

\nomarking without dots?
by fiëé visuëlle 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

A happy new year! Hans, you planned to make \nomarking configurable, that one can use it with our without dots. Is it already in the beta? Actually I need it without dots. Further, I find the dots much too wide spread; the kerning should be about the half of the actual. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- www.fiee.net/texnique/ www.ramm.ch/context/
