Presentations in context: Is there a reference manual?
by Luis Miguel Pires Neves 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hi! Is there any reference manual for doing presentations with context? I only got art-pres.pdf but it doesn't give many details. What is the purpose of \presentationstep? My first attempts using context didn't show great diferences with and without this command. Is it possible to define timings for automatic transitions between slides? Best regards, Luís Neves

missing Dstroke & dstroke
by Gour 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

I'm slowly getting into using DocBookInContext module for producing PDF output out of DocBook sources. One problem which I encountered is that I cannot get proper characters for two Croatian national letters: Dstroke & dstroke which are rendered as "D" & "d" and I see in mfonts.pdf (Fonts in ConTeXt) manual on p. 22nd that these chars are also not properly rendered. Is it some missing feature in ConTeXt since I remember that similar thing was present with LaTeX and it required some special *.sty file since those two characters cannot be handled like the rest of TeX accents? Any hint? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

typescripts and environments
by Bruce D'Arcus 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

A familiar issue, but I'm still a bit confused about how to set up a proper typescript, and how to access it in a document. Can someone please look at the enclosed? What I don't understand is how to name these files and typescripts, where to put them, and how to access them in a document. This is the beginnings of a typescript to handle some OpenType fonts which have been converted to type 1. What I will want to be able to do is to say: base font = minionpro-osf footnote text font = minionpro-caption-osf title font = minionpro-display-osf section heading font = minionpro-subhead-osf Am I on the right track with the enclosed file? The environment file is at the bottom, but I'm not sure how to access it correctly. I've tried \environment[minionpro-osf], but it doesn't seem to work (though there might be other reasons I'm getting Computer Modern!). Thanks, Bruce

Any updated manuals?
by John Culleton 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

I have downloaded most (all?) of the Context manuals. Meanwhile the development of the system continues at a rapid pace. As in most programming efforts the documentation is left to later. There is a possibliity that some of the manuals may have been updated without a general notice to that effect. So: does anyone know of any manuals that have been updated in the past six months or so? -- John Culleton Subscribe to the Self_Publisher's Newsletter!

fixedspaces sometimes flawed
by Hans van der Meer 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Hi Hans, In the manual it is claimed for the command \fixedspaces that (4.6 Word spacing) "After this command the ~ (tilde) generates a tight space with the width of a number." This turns out to be not true for -at least- the lucida font, cmr gives no trouble (my problem is: I like lbr most): % the code below gives spaces that are too small \setupbodyfont[lbr] {\tt\fixedspaces 0~1~~2~~~3~~~~4~~~~~5\crlf \fixedspaces 0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5} % this code gives spaces that are correctly sized \setupbodyfont[cmr] {\tt\fixedspaces 0~1~~2~~~3~~~~4~~~~~5\crlf \fixedspaces 0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5} Could it be that there is something missing in the font definitions for [lbr] ?

Bug in \setupinteraction?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Hello, after a couple of hours of debugging I found out why I couldn't anymore set my PDF to maintain the zoom level; apparently, the command \dosetuppageview{standard} command was ignored/overruled. I finally traced it down to \setupinteraction: this command seems to reset the pageview to "fit". Why? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

New version is old
by Robert F. Beeger 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Hi! Some time passed since I used ConTeXt the last time. I've got 2002.7.12 installed here. So because I now again have something to write and with this use ConTeXt again, I went to http://www.pragma-ade.com/ to get the newest version. The downloading page says it's from today, but the file that is linked here is from August 2002. The right file seems to be in the beta/-folder. So is the current stable version also the current beta version? Somehow confused. - Greets, Robert F. Beeger ____________________________________ | | | Robert F.

transparent figures
by kopszak＠mnw.art.pl 31 Jan '03

I wonder if anything changed on the "transparency front" since last year's discussion concerning transparent PNGs on colour background. Is it possible to use any transparent figures now, or not yet? All Best Piotr
