Context has its own indexing and sorting routines. So substituting either makeindex or Xindy requires writing or adapting output routines and input routines, and probably an output filter as well for Xindy. I have played with the simple routines found in index.tex as found in the texsis distribution. My version is called indexx.tex and changes the command names to avoid conflict with Context macros. But that does not directly address your problem. So I will work on the three pieces in a generic sort of way, the output routine, the filter, and the input routines (the latter are relatively trivial.) In the process I will be borrowing from xindy.sty, eplain.tex, texsis and so on. I plan to use a simple macro which looks like \idx{a string of stuff} and outputs to a file \idx{a string of stuff}{folio} The string of stuff will have to include the keys, the formatting attributes for both keys and locator, and special indicators such as see and seealso. I like the xindy.sty convention which uses ordinary punctuation to separate keys, sort keys, locator attributes etc. (I like it because it simplifies macro writing :) The filter will have to break down the string into parts, and translate the parts into xindy raw format. So don't hold your breath for my work! But it all seems doable. And there is a frequent demand for language-specific sorting and categorization within Context. In the meantime one can perhaps use the makeindex4 conversion program and hand-modify the results. At some point I will have to adopt a xdy style file or write one. But each language will require its own xdy file or subfile that specifies the alphabet and sort order. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters Rowse Reviews Culleton Editorial Services http://wexfordpress.com

2) I can't make the example on page 236 of the MetaFun manual (the one with a framed text with the Zapf (1) label). I use the following code:

\startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p; numeric w, h, o; p:=textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; w:=OverlayWidth; h:=OverlayHeight; o:=BodyFontSize; p:=p shifted (2o,h-ypart center p); draw p; drawoptions (widhpen pencircle scaled 1pt);

^^^^^^^^^^^ withpen ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

...

draw (2o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p,h); draw boundingbox p; setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled(w,h); \stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame,width=f it]

\def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame{\stopFunnyText}

\def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut#1\hss}}}

\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{}% Initiate.

Instead of the text in the label box I get the text "unknown". I type

\FrameTitle{Test}

\StartFrame This is just a test. \StopFrame

this works ok here, when corrected for the error, so it looks like your mp installation is not working ok

Hans

Hi again, thanks for your correction Hans! I still get the same error after reinstalling tetex and ConTeXt. The only "unknown" I can find in the logs is a line: (unknown) cmr10 11.95514 fshow in mpgraph.4000 Maybe someone has a clue what is going on? I have not edited some I'm on a Red Hat 8.0 system with tetex-1.0.7-63 and the ConTeXt beta from today. I have done texexec --make metafun. Should I do something more? (I have done another document with a metapost image as background image, and it works very well) I have done all files available at http://lillpelle.hemmet.chalmers.se/~micke/contextprob/ I include the (corrected) tex file again: ============ start file ============== \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p; numeric w, h, o; p:=textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; w:=OverlayWidth; h:=OverlayHeight; o:=BodyFontSize; p:=p shifted (2o,h-ypart center p); draw p; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt); draw (2o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p,h); draw boundingbox p; setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled(w,h); \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame,width=fit] \def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame{\stopFunnyText} \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut#1\hss}}} \setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{}% Initiate. \starttext \FrameTitle{Test} \StartFrame This is just a test. \StopFrame \stoptext ============ stop file ============= Below is shown what I see in the prompt when I run texexec.
