 Hello,
 
 is it possible to preserve uppercase letters of the title by default?
 
 I know that I can write:
   title =Eetgewoonten bij {E}uropeanen en {A}merikanen, but that dosn't 
 suit
my needs. A good solution
 (in my opinion) cold be something like this:
 
 \setuppublications[
   ...,
   changecase=yes/no/title,
   ...
 ]
 
 By the way: Thank you for the gread bib-module!

Re: [NTG-context] placesidebyside with aligned formula

 It works if I only have one line formula without \startalign. What 
 magic do I need to place around startformula?


   
put it in a vbox, or use a framed:

\starttext

   {\framed[width=8cm,align=flushleft]{\input knuth \relax}}
   {\framed[frame=off,align=normal,strut=no]{
 \startformula\startalign

   \NC c \NC= d \NR
 \stopalign\stopformula
   }}
\stoptext

btw, it's flushleft

[NTG-context] how to produce text with facing translation?

2006-03-02 Thread Thomas A. Schmitz
Hi all,

I think I remember some of you already had experience with this, and  
I'd be grateful for a few hints that can get me started: as a  
textbook for a class I'm teaching, I want a booklet that will have  
Greek text with facing German or English translation. For the setup,  
I was thinking of
\setuppapersize[A5][A4]

\setuparranging[2*2]

What would be the best way to achieve this? A few requirements:

1. The left-hand pages will have the Greek text, the right-hand pages  
the German translation.

2. In general, the German translation will be somehwat longer than  
the original, so I need to be able to insert manual breakpoints, but  
I want these breakpoints to occur in midparagraph so the last line of  
the page isn't truncated.

3. Would it be possible to have two sets of footnotes, one for the  
text, one for the translation?

4. I guess that I'll need to use a grid to make ligns align, right?

Any help, as always, will be appreciated.

Best

Thomas

[NTG-context] Yet Another Install Problem (contextlive)

2006-03-02 Thread dom

Bonjour à tous,

I trying to update my ConTeXt (and LateX) distribution.
I use an unix style environment either on Macosx (tiger) or various  
linux
plateforms.

I used ConTeXt from Texlive-2004 (osx or linux) and it worked well.
Also (on powerbook) I used Context from tetex3 and it worked well too
(and it is smaller).

Now, I'd like to upgrade my context environment to the last one
(before I need to!) and try to keep in sync with it.

I first try to install the texlive-2005 but fall into problems
with ConTeXt font (awithout using any any customized fonts!).
(I tried the GUTenberg scheme, the full scheme and even de Context  
scheme)

So I'm now trying the standolone ConTeXt distribution which I thought
should be a robust and easy to maintain solution.
I read the wiki at the page :
 http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ 
Linux_Installation#Minimal_ConTeXt_distribution
and some various email archive on this list

So what is the commands I use:

#
 v=20060215
 s=/usr/local/pack/tex/LOCAL/src
 p=/usr/local/pack/tex/context-$v

 cd $s
 wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/linuxtex.zip
 wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/macosxtex.zip
 wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/justtex.zip

 mkdir $p
 cd $p

 # CAUTION : don't use unzip -a which break the mktexlsr script
 # (probably because of numerous regex)
 unzip -q $s/justtex.zip
 unzip -qu $s/linuxtex.zip  ;# -u for overloading some existing  
files
 unzip -qu $s/macosxtex.zip

 # size is about = 153M

 chmod a+x $p/tex/*/bin/*

 . tex/setuptex
 type -a mktexlsr texexec ;# to verify

 texexec --make --alone

Error !!
! pdfetex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path).

#

So, my question is: what am I doing wrong??
Are the above commands suposed to work as is?

Thank very much for any help

Maurice,

Just a few messages ago on the list was an answer to Multiple Footnote

[NTG-context] metafun boxes

2006-03-02 Thread Renaud AUBIN

Hi all,

Yesterday, I have tried to put \input boxes within a MPgraphic. As a
result, I obtain errors at compilation. After discussing this issue with
Taco on #context, it appears that boxes.mp and metafun interaction is
not safe at all.
Ok, but since my needs remain the same, solutions are :
1. just do it, but manually (not smart at all)
2. use metapost then include the result in my document through ps or pdf
files (this solution needs the user takes care of fonts + manually
metaposting - not really smart)
3. use charts (but depends on what you want achieve - ok, but not for
all purposes)
4. define some metafun macros (time consuming at  the beginning but it's
best to invest for the long term)
X. others solutions I don't know yet... (feel free to add yours !)

My thought is to finally obtain in metafun:
1. Nodes with text (multiline text!) and a collection of simple shapes
to use like box, circle, box with rounded corner... 2. Nodes must be
placed freely accroding to the metapost coordinate system
3. Connections between nodes (using boundaries of each nodes +
possibility to give angles from...to for each connections)

PSTricks can do that but it can be nice if metafun can provide this kind
of features.
See http://renolab.lrv.uvsq.fr/perso/ConTeXt/sample.png to have an idea
(nodes are aligned in this figure but it is a particular case)...

Maybe a solution exists, but since I don't know it, I send this post:
1. Are other people interested ?
2. What is the best solution to implement this feature in metafun ?

My idea is to use \framed + shapes + path + ...

Feel free to give your opinion/need/contribution/whateveryouwant ;-)

Cheers,

Renaud

Shouldn't  that be input boxes; in a MPinclusions?

 X. others solutions I don't know yet... (feel free to add yours !)

Have a look at metaobj.
 My thought is to finally obtain in metafun:
 1. Nodes with text (multiline text!)

Place inside a framed

 and a collection of simple shapes to use like box, circle, box 
 with rounded corner...

Metaobj provides all basic shapes

 2. Nodes must be placed freely accroding to the metapost coordinate 
 system

Metaobj provides a better interface to placement. You can specify the 
distance and alignment between the nodes.

 3. Connections between nodes (using boundaries of each nodes +
 possibility to give angles from...to for each connections)

Has all of that

 See http://renolab.lrv.uvsq.fr/perso/ConTeXt/sample.png to have an idea

See the example below. metaobj has some bugs and limitations, but 
works as expected most of the time.

\starttext

\startMPenvironment
   \setupbodyfont[8pt]
   \setupframed[width=3cm, align=center, frame=off]
\stopMPenvironment

\startMPinclusions
   input metaobj;
   setObjectDefaultOption(Ellipse)(fit)(false)
   setCurveDefaultOption(arcangleA,15);
   setCurveDefaultOption(arcangleB,15);
\stopMPinclusions

\startMPpage
   % Metaobj provides a Circle command. But there seems to be
   % a bug in the interaction of Circle and Matix. So using Ellipse with
   % fit=false

   newEllipse.N9(btex \framed{{\bf Mode  Contrôle} La valeur

   newMatrix.diagram(3,3)(N1,N2,N3,N4,N5,N6,N7,N8,N9)
 hsep(1.5cm), vsep(1.5cm);
   diagram.c = origin ;
   drawObj(diagram) ;
   ncline(N1)(N5) ;
   for i = 2,3,4,6,7,8,9:

 ncarc(N[5])(N[i]) ;
   endfor
   nccircle(N6) angleA(-120) ;

seems like you have the wrong pool file

can you try newtexexec?  

how many pool files do you have on your system?
