displayed formula confuses parshape around figure
In the following small example, two squares are cut out of the long paragraph. The first is where the external figure belongs and goes, so no problem with that. But the second removed square is after the displayed equation, and it shouldn't be removed. If I comment out the formula, then the paragraph shape is fine. If I make add a \placeformula before the \startformula, then the equation number goes where it should (below the right edge of the figure), but the area below it is still whitespace. Is it a bug or is there an option to make startformula not interfere with the paragraph shape calculation? I'm using context version: 2006.08.08 21:51, and I found the same problem just now on the live ConTeXt. \starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]} \input tufte \startformula A = a^\alpha b^\beta, \stopformula \input tufte \input tufte \stoptext -Sanjoy

\starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
\input tufte \startformula <-- \par or empty line A = a^\alpha b^\beta, \stopformula \input tufte \input tufte
\stoptext

It works for me if put a \par or a empty line after the first \input. Wolfgang

That's true, but doing so ends the paragraph. Shouldn't the displayed math be part of the paragraph? The \input tufte's were just to make the minimal example. It came from a paragraph with text and math that begins with a figure: \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]} Then lots of text about the figure, leading up to \startformula this equation \stopformula then more text discussing the equation... -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

Ok, I playes yesterday I bit with your example and can you give now a solution for your problem. \starttext % This works \hangindent4cm \hangafter-3 \input tufte $$ A = a^\alpha b^\beta, $$ \input tufte \blank[line] % The group around the formula produces the error.

At first I thought I'd need to include \hangindent and \hangafter to use it, but then I realized that you were using those comands for simulating the figure inclusion. I put your patch at the start of my test file using the dummy figure, and it works great. Thanks! I'll keep using it and let you know if I notice any side effects, but hopefully it can go into the distribution. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
Dear Sirs, I need to prepare a letter to send to hundred persons but I don't find a working example for use with a address database in xml format. Can you post a small example, please? I had read the manual named xcorres.pdf, but the examples don't work for me and I don't know what I'm doing in wrong way. Thanks a lot Have a nice night Jorge
See attached sample files. I tried them, and got a correct pdf. Regards, Robert
Robert, Many thanks for your reply. I tried to make "texexec letter-sample.tex" but I got "no pages of output". What I'm doing in the wrong way? Jorge

Robert,
Many thanks for your reply. I tried to make "texexec letter-sample.tex" but I got "no pages of output". What I'm doing in the wrong way?
Jorge
Dou you have the file m-letter.tex on your system installed, it's not part of the ConTeXt-Distribution. Look in the log-file if there is a message m-letter.tex not found or something else. Wolfgang
Dear Sirs, In my letters I tried to include some notes after the closing part. I use the m-letter module and xcorres: \startsetups[letter:appendices] My notes for my all students \stopsetups But in this way the appendice is only placed in the head of the first letter. If I try changing the closing definition in m-letter.tex module all works fine. \startsetups [letter:place:closing] \endgraf \setups[letter:closing] \endgraf %\EnglishRule My notes for my all students \stopsetups This is a bug?

Dear Sirs, I want to prepare a forma for handwriting filling. With this propose e use \blackrule command for trace some lines inside paragraphs. For example, I, \blackrule[width=5cm, height=0.05cm] , promise maintain a good... In the pdf document appears: I, !max___________________ , promise maintain a good... Are there a good reason for that? Thanks Jorge

Which beta version do you use (texexec --version)? If it's not the latest one (17.09.) simply update to that version. This bug (typo) was fixed some beta versions ago. Greetings, Peter
Thanks

But in this case I had the same error in a prior beta. And if I remember it right, \blackrule works in the current stable version (and older ones). This is from a mail I sent you on 31.08.

Dear Sirs, I had updated my context version and now all works fine. Thanks to all Jorge Em 24/09/2006, às 9:07, Peter Rolf escreveu:
