I installed in windows 7 x64 standatalone context from http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip I installed it with first-setup.bat --version=current --modules=all I added d:\context\tex\texmf-win64\bin in the PATH I made a simple \starttext .. \stoptext file and run it in a command prompt with: context myfile.tex Below is the output. Would somebody know what could cause this problem Thanks John ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2015.11.14 int: english/english system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > 2 > 2 > D:/0_System/software_portable/context/context0/tex/tex mf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv close source > 2 > 2 > D:/0_System/software_portable/context/context0/tex/tex mf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > files > jobname '1', input './1', result '1' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active tex error > error on line 8 in file D:/0_System/software_portable/context/ context0/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv: !

just some questions
by Carlos 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hello list. I just have a pairof questions. Could someone point me to the fonts' script used by mtxrun? back in, let's see.. 2011, Mojca replied to Vladimir Lomov, with: > If TEXMFSYSVAR is writable, the cache goes to TEXMFSYSVAR. If it is > not, the cache goes to TEXMFVAR. The idea behind this is that > installer updates the cache when new packages are added, while users > can still generate their own cache. And yes, I even removed the cache file, since it generates itself, correct? I just can't figure out why this problem occurs with the files packed for ubuntu texlive, and I'm almost sure of not having duplicate files, unless I probably missed them, of course! I think I tried all the options available. I know mtxrun script is implemented there as well (in ubuntu texlive). I tried with separate installations first, and finally settled with texlive full, but it made no difference. I know it works in x64 for example, but for some reason, it refuses to follow the exemplary behavior in an i386. (Most of the modules fail or wouldn't find types). And why would ubuntu maintainers have anything to do with it? It's probably my own misconfiguration. But what could be the cause? Thank you in advance, for your time. :) Bye bye Carlos

"Trial typesetting" in ConTeXt / lua ?
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Dear all, Is it possible in ConTeXt within lua code to do “trial typesetting” (not sure that’s best name for what I would like to achieve) ? By this I mean store some input (with text and macros) in some buffer and do what ConTeXt does normally (parsing, create nodes …) but instead of shipping the nodes to line breaking algorithm and to the page output, only retrieve the nodes and after discard them. This is to get an estimate of the total text width within a paragraph (to calculate some shape on the paragraph). I browsed the lua code from http://source.contextgarden.net/ but I do not dare to use too low level lua functionality. Many thanks for any hint (even a pointer to lua function). Best regards Joseph Canedo

Best way to prevent wrong column/page break with par starting with \starthanging
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Dear all, I am using \starthanging to implement dropcaps (with small pdf files). I use this Inside mixedcolumns (2 columns). I’d like to know if there is a better way than \testcolumn[N], N being the number of lines of the dropcap, to prevent the location of dropcap being cut between end of column/page and beginning of next. Tried \keeplinestogether{N} instead but it does not work in all cases. That question was mainly to see if there were any possibility to avoid some blank lines at end of some columns (ie not balanced in given page). Thanks a lot Best regards Joseph

Overlong chapter titles in headings
by Mari Voipio 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello all! I have a document where chapter heading is also printed in the header. Usually this works very nicely, but now I have a document with really long chapter headings (not my choice...) that don't fit in the space available in the header area. Is there a way of printing the whole text in the chapter heading, but a shorter version in the header area? Mari

flushing the last hbox of a paragraph to the right
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hello list, I'm typesetting end notes with the pages where they get called (don't think about \endnote since I'm not using it; they are simple \item paragraphs). Here's an example: 4 Text of the end note blah blah blah blah blah, end of para. p. 3, 45, 96 which means that the end note 4 occurs in pages 3, 45, 96. The pages are flushed to the right using \hfill. This works as long as there's enough room for the pages' numbers. In case like this: 5 Text of the fifth endnote blah blah blah a little longer to fill the text width. p. 4, 12 the pages are note flushed right because the \hfill expires at the end of the second line. What I'd like is this: 5 Text of the fifth endnote blah blah blah a little longer to fill the text width. p. 4, 12 Since I'm typesetting XML, is there an automatic way to achieve that right alignment in both cases? Thanks, Massi

Re: [NTG-context] % !TeX root problem
by Jeong Dal 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Dear Hans and Otared, Thank you for the reply. I tried "%!TEX root =“ with no space before but it does’t work. I think that ConTeXt doesn’t do anything as you said. The strange thing is that it worked in ConTeXt file sometime ago. I don’t remember from when it didn’t work. Anyway it is not a big problem, though. Best regards, Dalyoung

% !TeX root problem
by Jeong Dal 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Dear all, I use product file: FM_main.tex which contains component files like FM_1.tex, FM_2.tex, etc. They are all in the same folder. In each component file, I put “% !TEX root=FM_main.tex” at the first line. It worked fine but some time after it won’t work. I know that it is a matter of TeXShop, but I just wonder why it doesn’t work now. Is there any clue for this? I am using TeXShop in the latest Mac OS X. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Dalyoung

anchor points for \inmargin
by DesdeChaves 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

Dear Sirs, I'm trying to make a exam for my students. After the question I should provide a blank space for the answer. In the margin I want write the partial scores for the answer. The problem occurs when I force a new page. In this case the text in the margin is flushed to the next page. I don't want this behavior. How can I can this? Another question: How can I anchor the scores in the middle of the vertical blank space? This \vskip4cm\Info{scores}\vskip4cm don't make the job. Thanks in advance. Jorge Code: \setupmargindata[inmargin][style={\ss\tfx},location=outer,align=middle] \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=middle,location=outer] \def\Info#1{\margindata[inmargin]{\rotate{#1}\ignorespaces}} \starttext \startitemize[n] \item Question 1 \vskip8cm \Info{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10} \vskip1cm \item Question 2 \vskip8cm \Info{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10} \page %%% --> problematic \item Question 3 \stoptext
