(and perhaps to keep all the files (except
ConTeXt itself of course) since they have to be updated from time to
time as new files are added to the distribution). That way the old
content will not misteriously disappear.
patches.zip contains patches for files with some typo-errors (eg. $x4
instead of $x$)
they are (almost) irrelevant at format-generation time, because they
are not
processed at all .
Also, some macros are in dutch (eg, \blank[2*groot]);
I excluded some others macros (\startpostponing ), correct some others
( \getvalue{period graybox} with \dotgray)
added \loadmap[gbk] and so on.
Partial contents are ugly (or broken ?) ;
there are many important modules to document (see Core Commands in
modules.pdf;
inside modules.tex, 3=ok, 1=to be documented, 0= to be exctract)
There are some overfull lines;
maybe there is a better sectioning (or multiple pdfs ?).
So, I think that this is a good starting point
I think that all patches should be approvated before to go into an
official distro;
after that we can discuss all other stuffs.
It would be a nice idea to put that files on the garden anyway

When someone tells you in bocca al lupo to wish you good luck, you

Well, G. Billotta was the first (and last, for now) italian I met inside

I was able to find one of his article on context at

A circle appear under the frame. But I have 3 runs ( texexec, mpost,

Now, what is my goal ?
To achieve a circle under the frame as quick as possible.
For 3.a, in f.log I find
mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun f-mpgraph
system()...disabled.
An attempt to run mpost failed: no circle, goal unsatisfied.
For 3.b, I run manually mpost (and then again texexec): goal satisfied.
With shell_export=t, 3.a) is ok, but f.log says
system(mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun f-mpgraph)...executed.
So it seems that my goal can be achieved only with a run of mpost.
With XYPic, a similar result can be achieved without mpost:
%%

\input xy
\xyoption{frame}
\starttext
\xy

Of course this doesn't mean that XY is better/worse than mpost, nor that
using mpost coupled with context will be always slow than others ways;
but sometimes a faster alternative may be required.
Sure for XYPic, name spaces collisions, cpu/memory required, syntax are
(some) items
to consider: but it also comes with a bunch of features and may be
faster than mpost
in some circumstances.
[OT] XFIG: fig2dev can be export to metapost and in multi-metapost.
Hence, from the moon, I see that xfig can be used with context.

[XFIG]..Export to context is good news. But still no parametrization
possible :-(

Now for metapost:
shell_escape= f
in texmf.cnf
so \write18 is disabled.
$texexec --pdf f
No circle; it seems right, because f.log says
systems: randomizer starts with 797065300
mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun f-mpgraph
system()...disabled.
$ shell_escape=x ; texutil --purgeall; texexec --pdf f
As before.
$ shell_escape= ; texutil --purgeall; texexec --pdf f
As before.
$ shell_escape=t ; texutil --purgeall; texexec --pdf f
Circle ok; again it's right, f.log says
systems: randomizer starts with 800565448
system(mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun f-mpgraph)...executed.
$ shell_escape=f ; texutil --purgeall; texexec --pdf f
Strange:circle again.
I found into texexec.pl
if (($ENV{shell_escape} eq 'f') || ($ENV{SHELL_ESCAPE} eq 'f')) {
$AutoMPRun = 1 ;
}
Hence texexec/texutil has called mpost instead of \write18; it's like
shell_escape=t
(for this task, not in general sense, of course)
Hmm, it's not crystal clear:
shell_escape=f means shell_escape is False
shell_escape=t means shell_escape is True
but for processing f.tex 'True and False are the same'
$shell_escape=; texutil --purge; texexec --pdf --automprun f
Circle ok; it seems right, because I force execution of mpost.

It was the only way I knew for creating vector graphics for both tex and pdftex with text and graphics interaction possibility. I try xfig with poor results. For that experience I strongly discourage for using it with context: 1) Xypic has the most obscure syntax I have ever seen. After writing some commutative algebra exercises, xy code is not so obscure :) 2) Nobody knows if there are not some name-space problems (redefinitions). Big problem not only with xypic. (after grep-ing xp package and context base I found some possibles names collisions in core-pos.tex,page-lyr.tex,xtag-ini.tex) 3) Metapost is naturaly incorporated to context, strongly supported, higher possibilities and (my opinion) much more intuitive. Yes, I love metafun. But a mp graphic must be preprocessed by mpost for inclusion, and I can do it only if I can execute sysytems commands; this open a security and performance issues.

set width to 10 cm, but if I don't care about cell I can have an

So the problem seem to be
Can I set the total width of a TABLE using a macros like
\setupTABLE[tablewidth=10cm] ?
To solve this problem, I usually set every cell width using
\setupTABLE[x][n][width=..];
But with \setupTABLE[tablewidth=...]
I will avoid to specify every single cell width,
and the TABLE will find the right dimensions.
I will look into core-ntb.tex.

With \setbox:

}
ht=\the\ht100 , dp=\the\dp100 , wd= \the\wd100
and you can determine the dimensions of your table.
But I think you need to setup x dimension, so
\setupTABLE[x][width=x\textwidth]
where x = 1/number_of_columns
(x=0.25 in your example, because you have 4 columns:
so you have
\setupTABLE[x][width=0.25\textwidth]

Johan Sandblom wrote: Sorry for going off topic, but since it is a concern ... Using a linux distribution with an intelligent package/dependencies handling system such as Gentoo or Debian would end your updating woes for all time. In debian testing apt-get install inkscape urpmq,urpmi, etc under Mandrake10.1 downloads and installs inkscape 0.41 and updates all dependencies automatically and in Gentoo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -ua inkscape downloads the source of inkscape 0.41 and all required dependencies and compiles them (taking a lot of time of course). Without going to the testing distribution (~x86) you get 0.37 almost the same for mandrake 10.1 (0.39 for 10.1 ) (I don't like rc,community version , beta etc distro.) luigi ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Thanks for the reply.
The problem with separating the text and number is that the space
separating the text and number still appears in the chapter text. On
a similar note, why doesn't 'show makeup' display the right margin
number?

Re: [NTG-context] kerning and TFM problems
Steffen Wolfrum wrote:
Hi,
I want to use OSX HelveticaNeue font.
So I open it in FontForge and - because I'd like to use the kerning
information - generate the Font with its PFB, AFM and TFM files.
According to Bill's help page it should work by (renaming and) placing
the phnr8r.tfm in its tfm folder, the phnr8a.afm and phnr8a.pfb in its
respective folders (within my texfm-font tree).
Then I need a mapfile texnansi-helveticaneue.map with the line:
phnr8r HelveticaNeue 4 phnr8a.pfb texnansi.enc
And my test file looks like this:
\loadmapfile[texnansi-adobe-helveticaneue.map]
\definefontsynonym[HelveticaNeue][phnr8r][encoding=texnansi]
\definefont[MySecondFont][HelveticaNeue]
\starttext
\MySecondFont I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold

But it results in problems with the TFM file. Why?
