ConTeXt on android via "debian noroot"-App
by Thomas Klein 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello ConTeXt-Crew, thank you very much for this fantastic application. I'm a former LaTeX-user and now I can't imagine to go back ever. Recently I tried to install ConTeXt in an android smartphone with help of the app "debian noroot". Everything went fine and I'm able to compile documents, but all \framed-Commands lead to the error-message "tex error on line 2 in file...: !You can't use '\hrule' here except with leaders" The minimal example is: \starttext \framed{Hello} \stoptext I suspect the cause for this might be missing packages (metapost?). Can you give me any hint, what packages I have to install? I installed the ConTeXt Standalone from contextgarden and I'm running context version 2016.01.18 22:21 (ConTeXt Process Management 0.63). I already tried to install the package texlive-metapost, but it didn't help. Help would highly be appreciated. Thanks in advance Thomas Klein.

Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule.

Usage of label in startsection etc.
by Jan U. Hasecke 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hi list, on this page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startsection the argument "label" is not explained. Since the argument "reference" is used for the text references \in, \at and \about I wonder what "label" is used for? TIA juh

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt vs Beamer
by Jeong Dal 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Dear Saša Janiška, I’d like tell you about my case. I have used Beamer long time ago, but now I am using ConTeXt + Simpleslides module for my presentations. There are already many given templates. You can find them in the doc of simple slides.(…../tex/texmf-modules/doc/…) However we can make our own template if we want. Although I am not an expert, I made my own template by modifying the given templates. I think that ‘animation module’ is also a good module for presentation. Using it, we can make the presentation more interesting. I hope that you got what you want by using ConTeXt. Best regards, Dalyoung

drops module update
by Peter Rolf 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hi, just a small maintenance update (everything was broken) for the drops module. Should be working again with the latest versions of ImageMagick (6.9.2-0+) and ConTeXt (luatex 0.85.0+). Files (version 2016-01-18) can be found here [the zip file also contains the documentation (drops.pdf)] https://spideroak.com/browse/share/indiego/public/ConTeXt/drops/ Have fun, Peter

Dear Wolfgang, > The key has no effect because there is only one style for the buttons. > I see. I think that the other options: menu, menu color, framerate are enough for me. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

XML interface commands
by Jan U. Hasecke 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Dear list, I am currently trying to setup a small documentation about ConTeXt and I would like to use the \showsetup command to introduce the documentation of a command. But it seems that not all commands are accessible through this command. Eg. startchapter etc. is not accessible. Are there plans to complete the list of commands? juh

documentation sprint at 10th ConTeXt meeting
by Jan U. Hasecke 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Dear list, are there any plans to have a documentation sprint at Kalenberg? I am currently trying to setup a small documentation about ConTeXt in order to better learn how to use it, and I face several issues. 1. documentation is scattered. Sources of documentation are the Wiki and a lot of PDF documents. 2. it is not always possible to decide whether a pdf document is related to MKII or MKIV. So I start reading only to learn that it is outdated. 3. I had the hope to access all commands via the xml interface mechanism (showsetup) which could be a kind of auto generated documentation (using: mtxrun --script server --auto) but it seems that not all commands are accessible through this mechanism I would like to propose a documentation sprint at the meeting in Kalenberg this fall to improve the situation. juh -- Software-Dokumentation mit Sphinx http://www.amazon.de/dp/1497448689/ Paperback: 224 Seiten

Dear Wolfgang and Fabrice, I am sorry. I didn’t notice that there is a difference between my code and Fabrice’s. I made a wrong comment. I know that there are several options in the animation module: menu, menustyle, menucolor, framerate. Would you please explain the menustyle option once more? Thank you so much.
