BUG in spec-fdf
by Giuseppe Bilotta 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Hello, I just found (rather by chance) a bug in the fdf output definitions: at the end of the file there are the lines \definespecial\dostartgraphicgroup{\pdfliteral{q}} \definespecial\dostopgraphicgroup {\pdfliteral{Q}} Since fdf specials are also used in non-PDF production mode (e.g. by dvipdfm specials) there lines should be changed into \definespecial\dostartgraphicgroup{\PDFcode{q}} \definespecial\dostopgraphicgroup {\PDFcode{Q}} -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

DocBookInContext & multi-languages (newbie)
by Gour 07 Dec '02

07 Dec '02

Hello list! I'm a new in ConTeXt. After few boks done in LyX (LaTeX) I decided to enhance my "publishing". Since I need to write in DocBook, I was thrilled to find DocBookInContext package which enables to map from DocBook to ConTeXt. I prepared a small article in DocBook and converted it to PDF by: texexec --pdf file (I'm running SuSE 8.0 & teTeX). The problem is that I wanted to include some Croatian national characters in the DocBook file, but they are not shown in generated file. What should I do to be able to have both English & Croatian language in ConTeXt? (In LyX, I would simply use latin-2 encoding and write English & Croatian.) Usually documents in DocBook have Unicode encoding (UTF-8). What encoding has to be defined so that conversion DocBook -> ConTeXt will work properly? I also run texexec --make --language=hr,en hr Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

utf 8
by Hans Hagen 05 Dec '02

05 Dec '02

Hi, I'm uploading a new beta. This one has utf8 as a regime: \enableregime[utf] the xml alternative \useXMLfilter[utf] also works. Some pending issues: how to deal with the utility files and so. I'll look into that as soon as i have to deal with utf cq. hav eproper test files. You should be able to process non western scripts, but the fonts/glyphs are not yet defind (see unic-0*.tex for how we're going to deal with that). Unknown glyphs will show up as a small rule, unless you say: \chardef\utfunicodetracer=1, 2 or 3 There is also a file: http://www.pragma-ade.com/temp/unitest.pdf just to get an idea of this kind of mapping.

Swedish in lang-ger.tex
by Stefan Karlsson 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

Hi Hans, Some weeks ago, before I found this discussion forum, I sent you a mail about Swedish conventions in ConTeXt. Simce I see that no changes have been made in "lang-ger.tex" I repeat my comments here: \installlanguage [\s!sv] [\c!spatiering=\v!opelkaar, \c!leftsentence=---, \c!rightsentence=---, \c!leftsubsentence=---, \c!rightsubsentence=---, % \c!leftquote=\upperleftsinglesixquote, \c!leftquote=\upperrightsingleninequote, \c!rightquote=\upperrightsingleninequote, % \c!leftquotation=\upperleftdoublesixquote, \c!leftquotation=\upperrightdoubleninequote, \c!rightquotation=\upperrightdoubleninequote, % \c!datum={\v!jaar,\ ,\v!maand,\ ,\v!dag}, \c!datum={\v!dag,\ ,\v!maand,\ ,\v!jaar}, \c!status=\v!stop] As you can see "leftquote", "leftquotation" and "datum" ought to be changed. Also, in the Swedish language the symbol represented by "---" doesn't exist; we only use "-" and "--". So I guess "leftsentence", "rightsentence", etc. should be changed too.

Indexing macros
by John Culleton 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

The "register" macros in Context only provide for a single level index AFAIK so I have been looking at the use of either makeindex or Xindy in a Context project. I have slightly modified the index.tex file from the Texsis distribution and renamed it indexx.tex. Instructions for use are included in the file. The command sequence is: texexec test.tex makeindex test.idx -o test.ind texexec test.tex. The test.tex file is as follows: \input indexx.tex \markindextrue \starttext Hello \page[yes] \idx{Frisbee} \idx{Saucer} \indexx{foo} \indexx{foo!bar} \page[yes] \input test.ind \stoptext The indexx.tex file can be found at: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/indexx.tex Most parties seem to prefer the more capable Xindy to the old standby makeindex. However The Xindy distribution has a program for translating makeindex raw index files to Xindy raw index files. So the indexx.tex macros can be used as a stopgap method now. I will work on another version that will emit Xindy raw files natively. Questions, comments, suggestions welcome :-) -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters Rowse Reviews Culleton Editorial Services http://wexfordpress.com

In-paragraph display
by Giuseppe Bilotta 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hello, I'm going to bring the discussion back to a sore point that really needs to be cleared. When dealing with displayed material (equations, itemizations, quotations etc) the following four cases are (or rather should be) different: ============================== Case 1: some text before \startdisplay displayed material \stopdisplay some text after ============================== Case 2: some text before \startdisplay displayed material \stopdisplay some text after ============================== Case 3: some text before \startdisplay displayed material \stopdisplay some text after ============================== Case 4: some text before \startdisplay displayed material \stopdisplay some text after ============================== The reason why they should be different is that (1) in case 1 the display is part of the paragraph which includes both the text before, the displayed material, and the text after (2) in case 2 the display is part of a the paragraph which begins with the displayed material and includes the text after, but not the text before (3) in case 3 the display is part of a the paragraph which begins with the displayed material and includes the text before, but not the text after (4) in case 4 the display forms a paragraph on its own Why is this important? Assume for example that the paragraphs are set to have an indent (\setupindenting[medium], for example) and that the indentnext option is set to true. In this case "some text after" would only be indented in cases (3) and (4), but not in cases (1) and (2), since in cases (3) and (4) it starts a new paragraph while in cases (1) and (2) it is part of the previous paragraph. Is it just an impression of mine, or is it true that this is not the case in ConTeXt? The behaviour in all three cases seems to be the same ... -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
