Thanks!

Unfortunately, the linux64tex.zip appears to be missing the binaries. It
also looks like you also haven't updated your site to list its
existence.
 

i'll have a look (btw, you can use the old binaries since nothing changed in that part)

AFAIK, there is only one way to do this: write a new tex file on-

Not simple at all, I'm afraid.


  2. \type does not combine well with \meaning: ò (ie {\`o} ) is not show.


This is a side-effect of TeX being an 8-bit program that doesn't
understand utf-8 itself. utf-8 in ConTeXt works by virtue of the
first character of a sequence having catcode 13 (\active), but
\meaning never outputs any catcodes except 12 (character) and 10
(space). This can be fixed by calling \scantokens:

[NTG-context] background of a table and fillinlines

2005-07-29 Thread Jessica Holle


Hi,

today I have real questions :-)

I have a picture for the background which is defined in this way:

\definelayer[BackLayer][state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[text][background=BackLayer]
\setlayer[BackLayer][x=9cm,y=9cm]{\externalfigure[back]}

and a table, which is defined like this:

\bTABLE
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=2.8cm,align={middle,lohi}]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=2cm,frame=on,rightframe=off,align
={middle,lohi}]
\setupTABLE[column][3][width=10.3cm,align
={right,lohi},leftframe=off]
\setupTABLE[column][4][width=1.9cm,align={middle,lohi}]
\bTR \bTD {\bf Tag}\eTD \bTD[nc=2] {\bf
\midaligned{Ausgefuhrte Arbeiten, Unterricht usw.}} \eTD \bTD {\bf
Stundenanzahl} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD {\bf Montag} \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \startitemize \tx

\item
\stopitemize \eTD \bTD 7,7 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE


This table varied in its height. One week there are more items and
one week the are less items.

Now to my problem.
I want to have this graphic in the back of the table. Always in the
middle of the table. The width of the table is always the same.
I can place the background but I shouldn't have a absolute position.
The position should vary concerning to the height of the table.
Is this possible?
I've found nothing in the PDF's to this problem.


Another thing are fillinrules:

can I define the look of the line? Now it is always a line, but I
want a thinner line or points. Like I can define in \setupunderbar
but in \setupfillinrules I did't find this option.

Hope somebody can help...


Big thanks

[NTG-context] Regimes to be supported; Comments?

2005-07-29 Thread Mojca Miklavec

Hello,

Some time ago there was a discussion about extending support for 
different regimes in ConTeXt. The list of (to-be-)supported regimes 
probably depends strongly on the implementation (ruby+iconv?). I 
collected a preliminary list of candidate regimes and possible synonyms 
(some synonyms are listed there for backward compatibility and have to 
remain there), leaving out most of eastern encodings (not because they 
shouldn't be on the list, but because I'm completely ignorant about that).


Hans suggested to post this to the mailing list first to get some useful 
comments and suggestions.


#

The following question should probably go in a separate thread, but it's 
a very similar thematic. In July 2006 Ljubljana will host people from 
around 85 coutries of the world. One of the very ambitious organizers is 
dreaming for already a couple of years to print the participant names 
(on honourable mentions for example, ...) in both latinic transcription 
and as they are written in original (under an assumption that the names 
are properly entered in a UTF-8 database). This is probably not possible 
to do for every single obscure language, but does it in general sound like:

a) Good luck (I don't want to be on your place)!
b) Take a good (commercial) program
c) If you're ready to invest the rest of your time (forget about 
hobbies!), it's probably doable in LaTeX or ConTeXt until then
č) Forget about TeX - it will be possible to solve this problem one day 
with unicode  one of the new TeX engines. But until then, it's not 
worth the effort, because any effort you may invest will become obsolete 
in a couple of years.


To be honest, even some people who will thanslate the materials into the 
native language, will probably do that with paper, pencil  scanner.

Hi Mojca,


Re: encodings, this page may be of help:

  http://www.kostis.net/charsets/

I personally prefer to use iconv as a preprocessor (any to utf-8), so
I don't really care all that much about supported encodings. I have
some remarks anyway, of course ;-)

I think that some of the encodings on your list are more like keyboard
mappings than like actual input encodings (some MacXXX ones, for
instance).

The 'original' MICROSOFT/PC ones and EBCDIC have probably all fallen
in disuse by now  in 'normal operations'. I would not bother with them.


Cheers, Taco

Thanks, Matthias and Hans, for the tip about \page[+2].  I have not yet
studied a ConTeXt presentation (read, slides) macros, so it may well
be that that use is very practical.  (In any of the slides packages I
know in LaTeX, it certainly would be.)  As for Hans's suggestion, that
it might be used to create two empty pages, say again I think it's
great - it would be better yet if the functionality \page[-2] existed

[NTG-context] Adding webpage to the bibliography entries

2005-07-29 Thread Mojca Miklavec
Hello, (mostly) Taco,

I don't know what the whole functionality of the urlbst
(CTAN/biblio/bibtex/contrib/urlbst/) package is, but it offers an
entity @webpage for bibiliography style, with url, author, title,
year, lastchecked and note. I think it also adds a field url to
every(?) other entity.

It would be great to be able to use something like \cite[url][our nice
garden], which would be equivalent to something like
\useURL[bib:our nice
garden][http://contextgarden.net][][http://contextgarden.net]
\from[bib:our nice garden]
and also add URLs to the list of publications (if requested) at the
end of the file.

Support would probably only make sense in the ConTeXt-wrapped
bibliographies (actually is url often already present in usual bib
files).

Perhaps some other users have some more comments/suggestions about it.

Re: [NTG-context] Adding webpage to the bibliography entries

2005-07-29 Thread Elena Fraboschi
In the context of bibligraphies, I have been looking at two topics
that were the subject of presentations at one of the last TUG meetings,
namely,

Bibulus
MLBibTeX

Bibulus interests me because it creates bibliographies directly in
XML.  MLBibTeX interests me because of its extended encoding (it is billed as 
European style bibliography).  In either case, at this time they are for 
developers only: neither is  ready for prime time use (though you can download 
packages and play with them).  On the other hand, they seem to be getting 
*very* close to prime time readiness.   Conclusion:  if
ConTeXt is going to undertake some work concerning the bibliography,
it might be a good idea to consider how that work might tie in with Bibulus or 
MLBibTeX, or both.  This said as an after thought to what Mojca said.  Best, 
elena

My impression (from talks that i've heard) is that bibulis is not yet mature and it was mainly a food for thought talk but the status may have changed. 

MLBibTeX has a longer history and its author is very serious in his efforts to get it done and reports on a regular basis at user group meetings. Concerning context, taco (when he has time) will look into it in more detail and he has already discussed some things with Jean-Michel; once we know that all info needed is carried around, writing an xml interface is easy (i can do that if needed, but others need to provide specs and examples). 

Don't hesitate to contact Jean Michel and express your wishes; he's quite willing to provide more info.

Hello, (mostly) Taco,

I don't know what the whole functionality of the urlbst
(CTAN/biblio/bibtex/contrib/urlbst/) package is, but it offers an
entity @webpage for bibiliography style, with url, author, title,
year, lastchecked and note. I think it also adds a field url to
every(?) other entity.

It would be great to be able to use something like \cite[url][our nice
garden], which would be equivalent to something like
   \useURL[bib:our nice
garden][http://contextgarden.net][][http://contextgarden.net]
   \from[bib:our nice garden]
and also add URLs to the list of publications (if requested) at the
end of the file.

Support would probably only make sense in the ConTeXt-wrapped
bibliographies (actually is url often already present in usual bib
files).

Perhaps some other users have some more comments/suggestions about it.
 

just wondering ... maybe we need a wiki page for bibliographies (and wishes and such) and an entry in the dev portal as well

[NTG-context] \placelist is influensed by \completeregister ??

2005-07-29 Thread Vit Zyka

Dear Hans, Taco, ...

I noticed strange behaviour. When I use \completeregister lists I have 
defined are ignored:


--
\defineregister[letter][letters]
\definelist[somelist]

\starttext
  Hello! \letter{Letter S}
  \writetolist[somelist]{List entry, part A}{List entry, part B}
  %\placeregister[letter]
  \completeregister[letter]
  \placelist[somelist]
\stoptext
-
I discovered that the source of the bug is probably \headtext the line
\expanded{\systemsuppliedchapter[\currentregister]{\noexpand\headtext{\currentregister}}}%

in the \completeregister definition. Please can somebody have a look on it?
