Problems recompiling LaTeX2ConTeXt.tex
by James J. Ramsey 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

I wanted to recompile LaTeX2ConTeXt.tex mainly to get a PDF file with bookmarks. However, I think I may have smoked out some problems with my ConTeXt installation in the process. I'm running Red Hat 8.0, with teTeX-1.0.7. The output from texexec is as follows: TeXExec 2.6 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : LaTeX2ConTeXt output : pdftex interface : en current mode : all TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1) entering extended mode (./LaTeX2ConTeXt.tex{/usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg} ConTeXt ver: 2002.1.28 fmt: 2003.3.3 int: english mes: english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex! ) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns 2-en-2 2-uk-2 2-de-2 2-fr-2 2-nl-2 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : LaTeX2ConTeXt.top loaded (./LaTeX2ConTeXt.top specials : loading definition file tpd (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.tex specials : loading definition file fdf (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex <unprotect 3> <unprotect 4> <protect 4> <protect 3>) specials : fdf loaded <unprotect 3> <protect 3>) specials : fdf,tpd loaded ) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-pre.tex typescript : [berry] [ec] [] (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex)) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-pre.tex typescript : [serif] [times] [name,default] (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) typescript : [sans] [helvetica] [name,default] (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) typescript : [mono] [courier] [name,default] (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) typescript : [serif,sans,mono] [default] [size] (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) typescript : [map] [default] [] (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-map.tex pdftex : needs map file: original-ams-cmr.map pdftex : needs map file: original-ams-euler.map pdftex : needs map file: original-ams-logo.map pdftex : needs map file: original-micropress-informal.map ) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex))kpathsea: Running mktextfm Times-Roman /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source abbreviation T for Times-Roman. /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /usr/share/texmf/fontname/special.map? mktextfm: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input Times-Roman This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3.1) kpathsea: Running mktexmf Times-Roman !

figure in 2columns text
by jendacontext＠centrum.cz 06 Mar '03

Hallo, all, I wan't place a little figure right of paragraph in 2columns text. I use columnset. It is something as this: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% ____________________________ %% %% ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %% ~~~~~~~~ --- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %% ~~~~~~~~|fig| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %% ~~~~~~~~ --- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %% ____________________________ %% % I try use \placefigure % \starttext \definecolumnset[twocol][n=2,offset=.5cm] \startcolumnset[twocol] \input tufte \placefigure[right]{none}{\externalfigure[fig][width=2cm]} \input tufte \stopcolumnset \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ... But with no efekt. Do you know someone how can I do this? Thank you. Jenda -------------------- Centrum.cz Auto - Představujeme horké novinky ze ženevského autosalonu! http://auto.centrum.cz/zeneva

Index questions
by Miller Maley 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

I have some questions about the index (register) facility in ConTeXt. 1) I like that ConTeXt automatically breaks the index into portions by first letter, but how do I change the style of the subhead that says 'a', 'b', or whatever? Among other things, I would like these little subheads to be uppercase. 2) Sometimes a topic is referenced at two nearby places in the text. If these places fall on separate pages, I would like the index to mention both of them. If they fall on the same page, however, the index entry is duplicated. I expected texutil to remove duplicate index entries when sorting. Is it supposed to? (This is not a major problem; I can work around it.) 3) Likewise (this is a suggestion rather than a question) it would be nice if ConTeXt automatically transformed a sequence of 3 or more consecutive index entries (such as 10, 11, 12) into a page range (10-12). I realize there is a facility (\startindex...\stopindex) to get these page ranges manually, so again this is not a major issue. 4) If I have the command \seeindex{foo}{bar} and also \index{foo} on page 17, it would be nice if the index could say foo 17 see also bar rather than just "see bar". Is there a way to get this behavior? -- Miller Maley

fontsize in math
by Hans van der Meer 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

Hi Hans, I encountered an issue in fontsizing in math mode that I do not understand. Searched the manual but couldn't find (or missed) the clue. Using the green presentation style but changed to a somewhat larger fontsize by adding: \setupbodyfont[lbr, sans, 17.3pt] % lucidabright typesetting the following text: {abc$abc$abc} --- {\tfx abc$abc$abc} --- {\tfx abc}{$\tfx abc$}{\tfx abc} In the first the abc's have the same size. In the second the math part has kept its size, the other two are smaller. In the third the math part is now so small is doesn't match in size as it did in the first. I would have thought the math would vary in accordance with the \tfx. However, within $'s the font does not follow the outside \tfx, while inside a different size seems to be chosen. I am baffled. Can you point in the right direction? Thanks. Hans van der Meer

context + omega + tetex 2.0 : success story
by zamri 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

hello all, after on-and-off effort, I finally get context + omega working. The result is impressive. hat off to hans and idris samawi for their effort. omega is a tex version that support utf-8 input. it can be used to typeset arabic. here are some of the things I discovers that might be useful to others; my system: context 2003.1.31 omega 1.23.2.1 tetex 2.0 1. using the command texexec --make --alone --tex=omega en fail. you need to recompile omega. get tetex-src-2.0.tar.gz. I am not a programmer, but know enough to hack bit and pieces. also, I cannot assure whether it safe or not. but, it works. do the usual ./configure and make stuff. After finish, make changes to omegad.h; #define infmaxstrings ( 800000L ) #define supmaxstrings ( 900000L ) #define infmainmemory ( 8000000L ) recompile omega. this is the tricky part. the command I use; (the proper way to make changes is in the .ch files, but I have no idea what to change) gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegaini.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega0.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega1.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega2.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegaextra.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegabis.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega3.c ./../klibtool link gcc -o omega omegaini.o omega0.o omega1.o omega2.o omegaextra.o omega.o omegabis.o omega3.o lib/lib.a ../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la -lm gcc -o omega omegaini.o omega0.o omega1.o omega2.o omegaextra.o omega.o omegabis.o omega3.o lib/lib.a ../kpathsea/STATIC/libkpathsea.a -lm 2. cp this 'omega' to 'bigomega' or whatever you like. 3. do texexec --make --alone --tex=bigomega en 4. you will get cont-en.oft. cp 'cont-en.oft' to 'bigomega.oft' 5. move the .oft format to the usual place. run 'texhash' 6. test. bigomega omtest.tex (* omtest.tex is from gamma.zip from idris ) or this simple file ====== test.tex======= \usemodule[gamma] \starttext \startarab A b t \section{\arab{A b t }} \stoparab \stoptext 6. you get test.dvi, do this to get pdf. odvisp -V -o test.ps test.dvi ps2pdf test.ps I am sure some of the steps can be simplified or corrected by the experts. I think you need to rename the new omega to avoid clash with the original omega. again, thanks to hans and idris. zamri
