[NTG-context] Tikz updated in minimals but file does not compile
Thanks Wolfgang. I suppose you mean that I need the beta version and not the stable version. Anyhow, I downloaded the beta version and tried to install tikz with the command Mojca mentioned in his post. Everything seemed to go on fine. But when I tried to compile the following simple file I get an error. The following is the information from the terminal window. It says something like ! Undefined control sequence And on help, it says that The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. As you can see below, it loaded the tikz module.

\setuphead[chapter][style={\switchtobodyfont[myOtherFont,\myOtherFontSize]}]
it depends on what can occur in a title, if there's math and monospaced and

Re: [NTG-context] TeXshop instructions on Context Minimals (Mac installation)
Hi! You need to set the executable bit of the file ConTeXt-MKIV.engine. In Terminal try: cd Users/Name/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ and then chmod +x ConTeXt-MKIV.engine which will allow you to execute the file. See http://www.ss64.com/bash/chmod.html for an overview of chmod if you wish to refine this.

When I choose ConTeXt-MKIV as my engine and try to typeset the document I get the following error. Users/Name/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-MKIV.engine does not have the executable bit set. This is when only pdftex is selected in the dropdown Typeset menu. It is true that the instructions on Context Minimals/Mac Installation page say that Context should also be selected in this dropdown Typeset menu. But if I try to do that, the engine automatically switches to Context that existed in the Engines menu, before I installed Minimals and before I added Context-MKII and ConTeXt-MKIV engines.

no.
also i'm not far away from the point, where i finally skip mkii (too
time-consuming to maintain both marks). currently mkii support is only a
fallback in case of luatex problems (which i probably don't need anymore).

Anyhow, I downloaded the beta version and tried to install tikz with the command Mojca mentioned in his post. Everything seemed to go on fine. But when I tried to compile the following simple file I get an error. The following is the information from the terminal window. It says something like ! Undefined control sequence And on help, it says that The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. As you can see below, it loaded the tikz module. I wonder what the problem is. A week or two weeks ago the author of TikZ has fixed a problem related to luatex/mkiv, but maybe that was not the only problem. TikZ works (or at least used to work - no time to test at this moment) in general, but there might be some more advanced graphics that fail do work due to heavy changes in ConTeXt source. I have recently used tikz in a project, and it works fine. The only trouble with the latest beta is that Hans has removed the funny commands with @ in them, which are a legacy of plain TeX, in favour of more legible command names. For example, \minusone in place of \...@ne, \zeropoint in place of \z@ etc. This makes ConTeXt code more readable, but at the same time means that any package which was compatible with plain TeX, LaTeX, and ConTeXt, will now fail in ConTeXt. Fixing this is as simple as adding a few \let old-command = new command things in the beginning. The easiest solution is to collect such things in a module, and import them before importing tikz or any other module which relies on the existance of plain TeX like macros.

Re: [NTG-context] Module taspresent
I figured out how and where to install the taspresent module. Now when I try to compile the file it loads the module. However, I do not get any of the colors or the frames. For example, the following code does not give me any color. It does though take out the page numbers and sets the correct papersize. Other than that everything is as if it is a plain text file. The presentation I am trying is \usemodule[taspresent][style=bluegray] \starttext A presentation \stoptext Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Thanks very much. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
