\FlushStep in module s-pre-50 adds too much space
Hello, I tried using module s-pre-50 to get stepwise revelation of the content in my presentation today. I noticed that the command \FlushStep adds what seems to be too much space between successive items. Is there a way, I can prevent \FlushStep from adding this much space. Thank you.

depends on mkii vs mkiv in mkii it's injecting nodes, so you need to keep the \FlushStep attached to the previous paragraph if possible like here\FlushStep in mkiv it should not matter ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you Hans. I will try to install Context Minimals in a couple of days. In MKII it does not help even if I keep it attached to the previous paragraph. The reason I have not been installing Context Minimals is that I am not sure how I will make the text editor I use (TextMate) to use it. The instructions for Mac OS X talk about TexShop and another one, but not textmate. Also, from the instructions (for Mac OSx) it is not clear whether it will install the latest stable version or the latest beta. If anyone can clarify these things that would be great. In any case, when will MKIV be included in the TexLive distribution.

I don't know this, I have never used TextMate. Normally, if you open your editor from a terminal, you can just source setuptex before opening your editor, and everything should work fine.

Mac installation is same as any other Unix like system. See details at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals. By default, beta installation is installed, but you can pass --context=current to get the stable distribution.
In any case, when will MKIV be included in the TexLive distribution.
It already is. See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV Bascically, you need to run luatools --generate and context --make, then you can you context filename to use mkiv. Aditya

it is in 2008 and will be in 2009 but even then, because luatex/mkiv moves fast you need to update rather frequently (there will be update packages for tex live once that infrastructure is up and running; norbert and mojca proved that it could be done) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks very much for replying. From your replies, it seems easiest to do what Aditya suggested; use the commands luatools --generate context --make I looked at this message and also went to the link he had in his message. My question is, am I supposed to be in any specific folder when I run those. I went to terminal (on Mac OS X) and typed luatools --generate but got the following message: LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file LuaTools | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.002 seconds Can someone please help? I know nothing about Unix. Thanks very much.

Perhaps I am not getting something which I should. Wolfgang, it seems to me that the links that you have suggested talk about installation of Context minimals and then how to get it working. I want to use MKIV that comes with TexLive. I already have TexLive. I thought that by running the "luatools --generate" (without the quotes), and the other command mentioned by Aditya, I can use MKIV that comes with TexLive and do not necessarily need to install minimals. Am I wrong in thinking that?

Am I wrong in thinking that? Actually, I find safe to keep separate texlive , context minimals and context minimals-beta. TL2008 is the best for latex ,etex, pdftex and so on, but mkiv/luatex in TL2008 are already old . I think that minimals are updated about every 3/5 months, even less for minimals-beta .

When I tried to use MkIV from TeXLive I failed too but I don't need LaTeX and can live with the minimals. Wolfgang
Okay, I have installed the minimals. It works with a file I tried without tikz. The examples on the wiki also work well. It does not work with a file that has tikz code in it. It stops compiling with ! Undefined control sequence. l.13 \starttikzpicture Does Tikz not work with mkiv? Thanks.

It does. The above error basically means that you do not have tikz installed. Does your log file say that module tikz was not found? Aditya

When you install the minimals, add --extras=t-tikz either to first-setup.sh or run ./first-setup.sh --extras=t-tikz (Run "luatools --generate" afterwards.) Mojca

Thanks Aditya and Mojca. Mojca, I tried running that; a lot of things happen, but the process stops with following lines (last few lines I copied and pasted from my terminal window ______________________________________________ LuaTools | saving merge from cont-nl.lua LuaTools | using compiled initialization file: cont-nl.luc LuaTools | using lua initialization file: cont-nl.luc LuaTools | running command: luatex --ini --lua="cont-nl.luc" "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-nl.tex" \\dump This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.35.0 (/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-nl.tex (/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex (/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv (/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/syst-ini.tex !
