Re: [NTG-context] showfont with xetex (syntax changed?)
I ran sudo ctxtools --updatecontext about one hour ago and all this
that you write here can't be found (s-pre-63.tex is the latest) ...
Where did you mean should I grep the sources for definefontfeature ??

[NTG-context] Some update woes on Linux
Hi all, After searching the archives and reading the wikis, I'm still at loss on this one. :( I installed TexLive 2007 on Ubuntu Gutsy through the repository package. All went well. However, given that I have to use XeTeX and that the ConTeXt that was installed with the package dates from May 2007, which is between January and 08.29, to be sure everything was okay I updated ConTeXt. I did it manually because ctxtools didn't work. A problem with the paths. First red flag, but I went on manually. I got the newest cont-tmf.zip and unzipped it in /usr/share/texmf and regenerated the formats by doing: texexec --make --all To check I had the correct version, I ran, on the commandline, these two: texexec --check and: ctxtools --contextversion Both gave me 2007.09.28 16:52, which seems quite correct. However, when I try to compile a document (with the --xtx option), I get the following error: ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.11.5 int: english/english language: language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!

Re: [NTG-context] OpenType in ConTeXt
Hi Pascal, I adjusted it to my own situation (AGaramondPro, not the Premier version). And I ran it succesfully. However, I can't see where the files have gone? They end up in a directory called texmf in the local directory, unless you have given the command line to change this directory (see --help) Compiling my .tex file also doesn't change anything. See the file example.tex in the texmf directory. Besides this I also noticed the script didn't support Semibold, which to me is very essential. The Bold version of AGaramondPro doesn't have any small caps, and Semibold just looks beter. Well, semibold is not supported, unless you drop bold and use semibold instead. If you insist, I will have a look at this. And if I understand the script correctly, the font in converted into static versions supporting OsF and Sc, right? Right.

Re: [NTG-context] luac-texluac-luatex-texlua-...
Hi, What I did on Ubuntu 7.04 (bash shell) was this downloaded justtex.zip and linuxtex.zip from pragma and unzipped them in my home directory. uncommented all the unset commands in setuptex downloaded luatex and the lua compiler i.e luac (found it via google) I think from www.luatex.org and from www.lua.org. I read on the mailing list that you don't need to download them as everything is self contained in the distro. set the unix variable TMP to /TMP (export TMP=/tmp) set the unix variable TEXMFCACHE to TMP (export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp) I think the last step was not needed because the luatools script will set it to $TMP and rename the lua scripts luatools.lua and mtxrun.lua (from the scripts/lua directory) to their extension less counterparts and moved them to the texmf-linux/bin directory. Also did a chmod 755 on them to make them executable. I also made a copy of luatex and named it texlua and put it in the texmf-linux/bin directory. Then after reading the MyWay on MKIV I did a texexec --make --all --luatex to generate the formats and ran succesfully the following tex script and produced a pdf file. % engine=luatex \starttext Hello from luatex \blank LUA \startlua a = 1.5 b = 1.8 c = a*b tex.print(c) \stoplua \stoptext Could be that I forgot some steps but this is what I remember. Hope it helps Kind regards Wim Hello, It is silly, but luatools urges me to have luac or texluac files, while the magazine tells only about luatex/texlua.

[NTG-context] XeTeX problem again
Dear folks,
I'm afraid I'm facing the XeTeX problem again after I updated ConTeXt
to version 2007.02.21 :-(
On a freshly installed MacTeX-2007 (which is TeXLive 2007 up to minor
modifications) everything is fine. The ConTeXt version is 2007.01.12.
Then I ran ctxtools which installed an updated ConTeXt in texmf-local
(besides the folder 2007). Now the pdfTeX engine still works fine.
However, XeTeX complained about the wrong format files. So I remade
them with texexec --make --xtx en nl. Later XeTeX spills out the
following:
---
TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file test.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 270
TeXExec | tex engine: xetex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
This is XeTeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6)
%-line parsing enabled.

Puzzling. So I issued $ ctxtools --dpx --force /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive CtxTools | provide proper texmfroot (as normal user and as root). Nothing happened :-( What did I do wrong?

[NTG-context] Footnotes lost in Natural Tables
Hi,
once again I ran into a dead-end where I never dreamt it could be a
problem: using footnotes in tables.
For my current project I have to use 16 tables, spread over the whole
text (about 400 pages).
Some of these tables also need footnotes (sometimes quite large). But
they should be numbered and placed within the regular footnotes at the
end of the page.
Trying the minimal below I saw the table's footnotes got lost:
\starttext
First paragraph\footnote{One}.
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD Cell\footnote{Two} \eTD
\bTD Cell\footnote{Three} \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
Next paragraph\footnote{Four}.
\stoptext
As I have to weave 31 footnotes in these 16 tables I hope I don't need
to place fake notes by hand, do I?

[NTG-context] Problems with fonts
Dear ConTeXt users, I am a Debian GNU/Linux user. I recently upgraded from an old teTeX to the latest ConTeXt in Debian. With the upgrade, however, I got a missing cont-en.fmt error (http://bugs.debian.org/409575) which I solved by doing a texexec --make --all, and placing the cont-en.fmt from my .texmf-config into /var/lib/texmf/web2c and ran texhash. Things seem to be OK. But now, whenever I do texexec filename, I get a PDF with many mathematical symbols missing. So, I do this: texexec --dvi ee03b091.tex dvips ee03b091.dvi ps2pdf ee03b091.ps Now, this seems to work, but the fonts are not rendered as well as they used to in Acrobat. And this also does not give the fonts, but causes the same math trouble again: texexec --dvi ee03b091.tex dvips -o ee03b091.ps -Ppdf ee03b091.dvi ps2pdf ee03b091.ps What could be wrong?

I do not use the m-letter module because it is too complicated for my
needs. If you think about it, a letter is usually something fairly
straight-forward. I have a personal p-letter.tex module which does
something like
setup layout
setup fonts
setup subject
\setuppagenumbering[location={bottom,middle}]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\setupindenting[medium]
\setupblank[big]
Yes, that's it! In the letter, I manually write the typesetting

\starttext
\startlines

\stoplines

This is fairly primitive, but I only need to write a formal letter
once every blue moon, and this setup works for me. If you have more
frequent need, then you may want more structure in the letters. If you
can finalize how you want to input your letter, creating a personal
module is not that hard with ConTeXt. I think that this is one of
ConTeXt's strongest points. In LaTeX, you first find a package, then
you see that the package does not do 100% of what you want, then you
read the code of the package and try to figure out how to make it do
what you want. With ConTeXt, once you know what you want, it is fairly
straight forward to write your personal module to achieve that. But of
course, ConTeXt needs more modules for things like journals and
conferences which have specific layout requirements.

setting up the standard letterheads. Writing the letter then becomes very
simple. Here is a live example with some hiding of the real identity:

With very minor modifications, such as substituting \noheaderandfooterlines

letterformat.tex it could be made to run under Context too. I just ran the
above example in Context.

Re: [NTG-context] \startquotation, \cite and footnotes
Ok. As for the strange things happening I was able to hunt them down
and prepare a simple example (still with the standard
\startquotation):
We are looking into this. All footnotes in vertical mode are
behaving oddly.
Thanks!
I tried that one but ran into several problems unfortunately. If
\cite inserts anything but a tiny string these words won't be wrapped
properly onto a new line. Also if I replace \cite[#1] by \footnote
{\cite[#1]} then there will be no footnote at all :-(
The missing linebreak is probably realted to the problem as in the
other thread, so you just have to wait a little bit longer, until that
is fixed for this problem to magically go away as well.
Yep, I'll be waiting for some black magic ;-)
The disappearing footnote may be unfixable within \startquotation. It
would be easier to define your own start-stop pair for this, because
\startquotation ... \stopquotation doesn't actually support tacking on
stuff at the end. Try this instead:
\long\def\startcitedquotation[#1]#2\stopcitedquotation
{\bgroup \par
\startnarrower
\symbol[leftquotation]%
#2\removeunwantedspaces
\symbol[rightquotation]%
\cite[#1]
\stopnarrower
\par \egroup}
Works like a charm! Thanks very much for the workaround ... I've
adapted it slightly so that the optional argument is treated as
generic text ... in order to use \cite[], \footnote{\cite[]} or
whatever else I need.
Could this optional argument perhaps be integrated directly in the
usual \startquotation command some day? I guess a lot of people will
need this ... every quotation calls for a proper reference ;-)

Re: [NTG-context] \startquotation, \cite and footnotes
Thanks very much for your suggestion, Taco!
I'm afraid it doesn't seem to work quite as expected, however :-
( Could you have a look below?
Hi,
I've been wondering whether someone (perhaps Taco?) can give me a
hint on the following:
1. Is there an automated way to place citations into footnotes? So
whenever I use \cite in the running text it should produce a footnote
with the reference alongside the usual footnotes. However, when \cite
is invoked within a footnote it should just type out the reference
inline (in the footnote, of course ;-). So far I've done this
manually with \footnote{\cite{key}} (which at times produced its own
strange results like two footnote blocks on the same page).
There is no other way. If you strangeness as a result from this,
then it is a bug in the footnote handling that is (should be)
unrelated to the bibliography module.
Ok. As for the strange things happening I was able to hunt them down
and prepare a simple example (still with the standard \startquotation):

is mixed up ...

Hi Taco,
I ran into the following problems:
1. see attached files. Three bib entries with different authors, but the
resulting references are the same for two of them (!). Appearantly,
without sorting the bib entries, the extra label numbering does not work
correctly. Changing \setupbibtex to sort=short fixes the issue
(appending a and b) as well does changing ITERATE {presort.none}
to ITERATE {presort.clabel} in cont-no.bst. But is this a
once-and-for-all fix?
2. see attached files. In \setuppublications, numbering is given as
short, but the resulting list of references is only as good as yes -
I only get the numbers, not the short references in the list. Hmmm,
what's the cause for this? Any ideas? Or is it My Fault(TM)?
3. In general: If I'd use bib handwriting \{start,stop}publication
without bibltx, would I have to care about the uniqueness of the short
document names (the s= option to \startpublication)? Really?
Considering hundreds of possible bibliography entries, this would double
the effort: Not only the key (the k= option) but also the short name
must be unique for correct references.
4. Sometimes, the build process (texexec --pdf test) breaks after
changing some text in the bibliography. Appearantly, sometimes the .bbl
file is not updated. removing the .bbl file fixes the build. No recipy
available, sorry.

[NTG-context] bib and bibltx problems
Hi Taco,
I ran into the following problems:
1. see attached files. Three bib entries with different authors, but the resulting references are the same for two of them (!).
Appearantly, without sorting the bib entries, the extra label numbering does not work correctly. Changing \setupbibtex to
sort=short fixes the issue (appending a and b) as well does changing ITERATE
{presort.none} to ITERATE {presort.clabel} in cont-no.bst. But is this a once-and-for-all fix?
2. see attached files. In \setuppublications, numbering is given as short, but the
resulting list of references is only as good as yes - I only get the numbers, not the
short references in the list. Hmmm, what's the cause for this? Any ideas? Or is it My Fault(TM)?
3. In general: If I'd use bib handwriting \{start,stop}publication without bibltx, would I have to care about
the uniqueness of the short document names (the s= option to \startpublication)?
Really? Considering hundreds of possible bibliography entries, this would double the effort: Not only the key
(the k= option) but also the short name must be unique for correct references.
4. Sometimes, the build process (texexec --pdf test) breaks after changing
some text in the bibliography. Appearantly, sometimes the .bbl file is not updated.
removing the .bbl file fixes the build. No recipy available, sorry.
Thanks,
- Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I goofed somewhere, that's for sure. Are you in a real hurry, or can
I take a day or two staring at it?

Re: [NTG-context] wiki: debian installation
Warning: pdfetex (file /home/myuser/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/ context/original-base.map): invalid entry for `fmvr8x': font file missing Some time ago it was a hot topic on the mailing list. See: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Error_Recovery and fix it if possible even if it is working now for some reason. I ran into the same issue a few days ago and eventually found my to the same solution. About the 'some reason': I noticed that without the fix, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The answer is the damn database file (the ls-R). kpathsea searches in 'directory order', which you can find with 'ls -U'. So ls -U ~/texmf/fonts/map/ gave me pdfetex, dvips, then dvipdfm, and I couldn't understand why anyway the dvipdfm file was being found ahead of the pdfetex one (even without the $progname). The answer is that the ls-R file is listed in, well, ls -R order, which is not necessarily directory order. It's probably alphabetical. So dvipdfm is ahead of pdfetex. Getting rid of the ls-R means the pdfetex map file is found (good), but it can easily change back if some script makes a new ls-R (so it's not robust). Short version: Do the recommended fix. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] ## in \def in \sometxt fails with static MP figure
Now that \sometxt works with static figures (thanks!), I'm converting
from using btex..etex to using \sometxt, to avoid MPenvironments
(instead put it in the general .tex environment).
But I ran into an error with macro arguments and static figures. Let me
know if it's not worth fixing in view of the Mk IV cleanup, and I'll
switch to reusable figures (and eventually Linux will support dual core
CPUs + suspend to ram, and then I won't notice the processing time
much).
Here is a small example file:
= y.tex
\def\2#1#2{\vbox{\halign{##\hfil\cr#1\cr#2\cr}}}
\starttext
\startstaticMPfigure{fig}
label(\sometxt{\2{h}{x}}, origin);
\stopstaticMPfigure
\usestaticMPfigure[fig]
\stoptext
= y.tex
It produces this texexec.tex (2006.09.28 22:43 beta):
texexec.tex =
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\global \loadfontfileoncetrue \starttext
\startMPpage
beginfig(1);
label(\sometxt{\vbox {\halign {##\hfil \cr h\cr x\cr }}}, origin);
endfig; \stopMPpage
\stoptext
texexec.tex =
The ## in the expanded argument to \sometxt causes a problem:
=== texexec.log ==
! Only one # is allowed per tab.
l.1 \vbox {\halign {##
\hfil \cr h\cr x\cr }}
\doTeXtext ... \startcurrentcolor \scantokens {#3}
\stopcurrentcolor }\global...
\dodofiltersometxt ...er \TeXtext \txtcounter {#1}
\expandafter \filtersometx...
argument ...halign {##\hfil \cr h\cr x\cr }}}, o
rigin);
endfig;
\flushTeXtexts ...llectedmptexts \filtersometxt #1
\sometxt {}\empty \relax \...
\writecheckedMPgraphic ...phic \flushTeXtexts {#1}
\writeMPgraphic {#1}
...
l.9 endfig; \stopMPpage
?
=== texexec.log ==
Alas using
\def\2#1#2{\vbox{\halign{#\hfil\cr#1\cr#2\cr}}}
leads to a different error (illegal parameter number).
But using a reusable graphic works:
yy.tex =
\def\2#1#2{\vbox{\halign{##\hfil\cr#1\cr#2\cr}}}
\starttext
\startreusableMPgraphic{fig}
label(\sometxt{\2{h}{x}}, origin);
\stopreusableMPgraphic

Thanks, I understand now; and sorry, I hadn't meant it as a feature
request! I was trying only to learn the differences between all the
ways of doing *TeX labels in figures, and was trying experiments. I
should have added that the difference was probably from a confusion on
my part (my conceptual model derailed when sometxt failed but textext
worked).

The texexec run says figure 4-fig.pdf can not be found and 4.pdf shows
a dummy figure in place of the figure. 4-fig.mp contains just

I guess because there's no processmpstatic procedure, whereas texexec.rb
calls job.processmpstatic. But the analogous procedure,
processmpgraphic, is a bit daunting so I haven't tried to write
processmpstatic.

Re: [NTG-context] transparent metafun colors turn nearly black
Maybe you also need
\runMPTEXgraphicstrue (enabled in my cont-sys.tex)?
I just enabled that in cont-sys.rme, and I put it in the test file for
good measure.
your example works here (beta 17.09.). I also tried your example at
contextgarden (same beta) and it worked too (using Firefox).
Thanks for checking it both ways. Now I'm really puzzled because I
also use Firefox (on Linux). I just ran the file below at
contextgarden (same one as before but with the MPTEX addition), and it
gives 'undefined' in a square where the figure should be. And on my
Ubuntu laptop with context 2006.08.08 it gives a large black circle.
I also tried the old perl texexec in case that helped but no luck.
The texexec log on contextgarden looks okay. It generates
texexec-mpgraph.1 and embeds one figure, so I'm guessing the figure is
generated and inserted. So I don't understand why the generated PDF
file is not right. To make sure it wasn't a caching problem, I added
a bit of text to the end, to see whether the new PDF file had it (it
did).

Your examples (old and new one) doesn't work anymore at contextgarden

Re: [NTG-context] Greek hyphenation problem
Mojca—
Many thanks for your suggestions. Over the weekend, at Thomas’
suggestion, I
• deleted and re-stalled teTeX
• unzipped cont-tmf.zip into /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local
• copied lang-agr.pat (fr0m Thomas) into /usr/local/teTeX/share/
texmf.local/tex/context/patterns
• ran sudo texhash
• rebuilt the formats.
And I now have hyphenation with the fonts in Thomas’ ancient Greek
module.

Re: [NTG-context] problem in kpse.rb
Disappointingly, over here it doesn't work with two backslashes, only
with one. Possibly because there are two texmf.cnf (minimal linux
distro) which give different answers:
./texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, which claims
% A place for local additions to a standard texmf tree.
% This tree is not used for local configuration maintained by
% texconfig, it uses TEXMFCONFIG below.
TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/../texmf-local
and
./texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf, which claims
TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf
TEXMFLOCAL= $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-local
TEXMFFONTS= $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-fonts

I also ran into this (a few weeks ago on the list) and the patch I

run(--expand-path=\\$#{varname})
so that Unix sees the command as, for example,
kpsewhich --expand-path=\$TEXMFLOCAL
which prevents the shell from expanding TEXMFLOCAL as a shell or
environment variable, leaving it for kpse to find it in texmf.cnf.
Interesting that \$ also works. I guess the \ gets passed unchanged,
so the $ still gets procted from the shell.
By the way, the rescue '' doesn't do anything, since a failed run of
kpsewhich doesn't throw an exception. I think I have a patch for
that.
Hans, should I resend those patches?

[NTG-context] xetex and metapost
Hi,
After switching to `XeConTeXt' my file with MP graphics (which ran fine
before) results in errors. I include a .mp-file like:
\startuseMPgraphic{dia1}
input Diagram1 ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\placefigure{Comment}{\externalfigure[Diagram1.1]}
When I run ConTeXt a file test-mprun.mp is created containing:
[...]
defaultfont:='Minion Pro:mapping=tex-text;
+onum;
+pnum';
defaultscale:=12.0pt/10pt;
[...]
which of course is responsible for the errors. Does anyone know how to
solve this?

One of the problems is also that textext results in calling pdftex
instead of XeTeX (I never managed to get textext working under XeTeX,
but I didn't want to complain too much about it), but draw
\sometxt{something} is working perfectly and would be my choice for
this anyway (unless you really need to put something special in those
labels, but ask on the list again if you don't know how to handle it).
Then you don't need to take care of font switching inside of the
graphic, you just switch the font in your document.

The problem with redefining \maybeyear is that it affects all
citations equally: when you have three Knuth records with the
same year and two Tuftes with the same year in the database, then
if you use only one of Knuths but both Tuftes, you can no longer
see which one of the Tuftes you were citing.
I could add an interface setting, so that you would do not have to
resort to using \def, but it would be much better if I could fix
the problem internally. Needs some thinking, though

Problematic. There is a small bit of influence possible: the `c' is
inside macro (\maybeyear) that could be redefined (nullified), but
that is a document-global solution, and it may not even work too well
at that. It's been a long time since I looked at this problem. It is
not totally unsolvable, but definately not simple either.

texexec is doing the arranging by making the following 'texexec.tex'
file and then, I think, running texexec on it:
\definepapersize
[offset=a5a4]
\setuplayout
[backspace=0cm,
topspace=0cm,

The 'offset=a5a4' is upsetting Context; according to texshow-web on
the garden, the offset should be a dimension. Also, I couldn't find
(using grep) the string 'a5a4' in the context sources.

\startsetups award:silver
\useexternalfigure[medal][medal_silver][height=7.5cm]

After that I just issued \setups{award:gold} at the top of product
file for gold medallists while using the same page layout for all the
medallists (with a simple \externalfigure[medal] which was good for
any medallist).
I guess that you could also do something like
\startsetups chapter:1
\useexternalfigure[fig-1][1/fig-1.pdf]
\useexternalfigure[fig-2][1/fig-2.pdf]

\starttext
\setups{chapter:1}
\externalfigure[fig-1]
\externalfigure[fig-2]
\setups{chapter:2}
\externalfigure[fig-1]

Just out of curiosity I tried the following:
\startsetups chapter:1
\dorecurse{10}{\useexternalfigure[fig-\recurselevel][1/fig-\recurselevel.pdf]}
\stopsetups
\startsetups chapter:2
\dorecurse{10}{\useexternalfigure[fig-\recurselevel][2/fig-\recurselevel.pdf]}
\stopsetups
But you should ask someone else where to expand stuff to make it work.

I need to summarize all the Linux installation methods on the Wiki, once I get it all straight in my head. Right now in reality and in my head it's a nightmare because of all the flavors (texlive, tetex 2 or 3, etc.) and the gazillion map files that could be anywhere. ConTeXt tries to work everywhere so it has a hard life. I don't know much about what MacOS X does, but if you're not using a graphical installation method, it should be like BSD 4.[0123] Unix that I once used. In which case it should work mostly like Linux. Here's what I do now and did just half hour ago to update to the 2006.08.08 version. I use bash (a mostly sh-compatiable shell), which the MacOS terminal runs too I think. The $ below is my bash prompt and everything after it is what I type: $ TEXMFLOCAL=/home/sanjoy/texmf texmfstart ctxtools --updatecontext This fixes the problem that ctxtools uses (I think) Windows quoting in this source line: tree = `kpsewhich --expand-path $TEXMFLOCAL`.chomp rescue nil In Unix ruby (like in Perl) the $TEXMFLOCAL is expanded by the shell because of the $, and the result is run by the backticks. Usually TEXMFLOCAL has no setting in the shell or environment so ruby runs the command with $TEXMFLOCAL replaced by an empty string, giving: kpsewhich --expand-path So kpsewhich complains that it didn't get an argument for --expand-path (or --expand-var). The long-term fix is to figure out how to quote that works in Windows and Unix, but I don't know how since I don't use Windows. The short-term hack is to set TEXMFLOCAL just while running ctxtools, which is done by the command above that I run. So maybe try that using the vanilla distribution (so with \012 restored) and report back what happens and let's see if we can find a fix if something else doesn't work. My computers run Linux but my partner has a MacOS 10.3 machine and I'll use it for ConTeXt experiments if needed. -Sanjoy Sanjoy— Since I use the teTeX distribution on my Mac, I ran TEXMFLOCAL=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local sudo texmfstart ctxtools --updatecontext in Terminal (bash) and the update went perfectly.

Re: [NTG-context] updating context on Ubuntu 6.06
It was hard to find a machine not running bash, a measure of the

more a measure of the lack of diversity ... imagine everyone living a

Or instead walking, cycling, or taking public transit...but I dream.
can you try: ...
I ran this ruby script (on Linux):
def locatedlocaltree
tree = `kpsewhich --expand-path $TEXMFLOCAL`.chomp rescue nil
unless tree FileTest.directory?(tree) then
tree = `kpsewhich --expand-path $TEXMF`.chomp rescue nil
end
return tree
end
print locatedlocaltree+\n
and got the error due to lack of quotes around $TEXMF{,LOCAL}:
kpsewhich: option `--expand-path' requires an argument
kpsewhich: option `--expand-path' requires an argument
Unix definitely needs those quotes to protect the variables in the
backquoted command from the shell.
Also the 'rescue nil' doesn't seem to have any effect. Probably
similar to system(), the `cmd` construct doesn't raise an exception if
the command fails or even isn't found. Instead you get tree equal to
the empty string, since `` captures (the empty) stdout.
Is path expansion (instead of variable expansion) a risky change? It
might make tree a colon-separated list. That will cause trouble for
the directory test in the 'unless' clause, and also break later uses
of the returned value of locatedlocaltree that assume it is one path
element.

Updating context was one of the things on my todo list. great.
Beforehand I had been using the 2006.04.17 beta and had put off
upgrading because I was scared of the change from perl texexec to ruby

1. (optional cleanup) Delete the old Context-installed files in
~/texmf/. This step is optional, but I do it so that I can track the
versions using an SCM. I use mercurial (hg is the program name), but
it could have been svn, cvs, etc. The command (done in ~/texmf):
hg locate -0 | xargs rm -0
2. (download, unpack) Download cont-tmf.zip, cont-fnt.zip, and
cont-img.zip. Probably you need only the first zip file, but I'm
reporting exactly what I did just in case any substep is the crucial
one. The command:
cd /tmp/ # no need to save them long-term
wget http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/current/cont-{tmf,fnt,img}.zip
Unzip the zip archives into ~/texmf, appending the giant
list of files to /tmp/a.log:
cd ~/texmf
for f in /tmp/cont-{tmf,fnt,img}.zip ; do unzip $f /tmp/a.log ;done
3. (stubs, part 1) Create ~/bin/texmfstart containing two lines:
#!/bin/bash
~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb $@
Then make it executable with
chmod +x ~/bin/texmfstart
From what I can tell from reading the ruby code, using the full path
to texmfstart.rb helps texmfstart.rb find the other .rb programs,
like texexec.rb. (texmfstart.rb uses the path it was called with and
looks in that directory, but Hans can correct me if I'm wrong here.)
4. (stubs, part 2) texmfstart will run texexec, so create texexec as a
symlink to ~/texmf/scripts/context/stubs/unix/texexec:
cd ~/bin
ln -s ~/texmf/scripts/context/stubs/unix/texexec
chmod +x texexec
Hans: Could texexec be made executable in the distribution's zip
file, to avoid the chmod?
5. (test 1) A first check is that texexec works. So change to a random
directory, e.g. where you keep some Context files:
cd ~/tmp/xy ; texexec --version
That produces:
TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD
which looks good
6. (formats) Remake the formats with

fixed it, by installing the 'lmodern' package. But Ubuntu lmodern is
v0.92, at least as of Ubuntu 6.06, and Debian unstable uses v1.00,
which includes the necessary .tfm files for ec-lmr*. The beta Ubuntu

download the latest .deb from
http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lmodern/
Installing it is a bit painful. The first try (done as root) of

1. (optional cleanup) Delete the old Context-installed files in ~/texmf/. This step is optional, but I do it so that I can track the I am not so sure that step is optional. Because if the preinstalled version had a cont-sys.tex or cont-usr.tex, then this step may be required to make sure you are not using an out-of-date version of these files. Good point, thanks. I'll incorporate it into the eventual wiki page. A somehwat more flexible version is #!/bin/sh ruby `kpsewhich --format='texmfscripts' texmfstart.rb` $@ (also notice the lack of quotes around $@) According to the bash man entry: @ Expands to the positional parameters, starting from one. When the expansion occurs within double quotes, each parameter expands to a separate word. That is, $@ is equivalent to $1 $2 ... So if you ran texmfstart with texmfstart --option=hi there then the $@ form would produce texmfstart.rb --option=hi there which would leave 'there' standing alone as a second argument. Whereas the $@ form would produce texmfstart.rb --option=hi there This second form is what you want, no? $ texmfstart ctxtools --updatecontext kpsewhich: option `--expand-var' requires an argument Do not worry about that until the rest of the install is correct, it may start working automagically. It didn't work magically, but Jano Kula's suggestion about TEXMFLOCAL made it work. I looked at the TEXMFLOCAL in the /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and did: TEXMFLOCAL=/usr/local/share/texmf texmfstart ctxtools --updatecontext That worked fine except now there's version clash. During the update it said CtxTools | updating /usr/local/share/texmf and it downloaded the cont-tmf.zip there and unzipped it, remade the formats, and put them under ~/.texmf-var. So now the formats are based on the new context (2006.07.24) but for example, $ texmfstart ctxtools --contextversion CtxTools | context version: 2006.07.14 12:08 (/home/sanjoy/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex) CtxTools | context version: 2006.07.14 12:08 (/home/sanjoy/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex) So texmfstart is finding the older source files in ~/texmf (from the 2006.07.14 update) although the formats themselves are newer. And trying a simple file gives: $ texexec t ... ConTeXt ver: 2006.07.14 12:08 fmt: 2006.7.26 int: english mes: english which worked fine, I guess since the two versions are sufficiently compatible. To avoid this problem, is it possible to put the new version in ~/texmf instead of in TEXMFLOCAL?

7. (test 2) Try a simple file. I use ~/tmp/xy/t.tex containing one
line, \starttext abc \stoptext. Here goes:
texexec t
fails with
! Font \*12ptrmtf*=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
8. (dreaded lmodern) Ack, it's the dreaded lmodern problem. I thought I
had avoided this issue on my previous laptop, which ran Debian
testing/unstable and got reincarnated as an Ubuntu laptop. And I had
fixed it, by installing the 'lmodern' package. But Ubuntu lmodern is
v0.92, at least as of Ubuntu 6.06, and Debian unstable uses v1.00,
which includes the necessary .tfm files for ec-lmr*. The beta Ubuntu
('edgy eft') uses the new version, so I downloaded its .deb via
http://packages.ubuntu.com, which eventually pointed me to a monster
url and I did:
cd /tmp
wget
http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lmodern/lmodern_1.00-2_all.deb
Note that the package version may change, so the easiest way is to
download the latest .deb from
http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lmodern/
Installing it is a bit painful. The first try (done as root) of
dpkg -i /tmp/lmodern_1.00-2_all.deb
complains with
Usage error: unrecognized option
Usage: update-fonts-dir DIRECTORY ...
'update-fonts-dir' is some X program that updates X's ideas of where
its fonts are, and the package isn't calling it correctly. But I
don't care whether X knows about the lmodern fonts, since I'm using
them for documents viewed with gv or xpdf, not directly as an X font.
So I shut up update-fonts-dir for the moment, installed, and undid
the shutting up (all as root):
chmod -x /usr/bin/update-fonts-dir
dpkg -i /tmp/lmodern_1.00-2_all.deb
chmod +x /usr/bin/update-fonts-dir
9. (test 2 again, not as root) Now 'texexec t' works fine, as does
'texexec --check'
So I think all is well, and I didn't need to set RUBYLIB. Let me know
of any corrections or improvements; if there's interest I'll wikifi.
From now on, I hope I can update using
texmfstart ctxtools --updatecontext

IIRC, the new (ruby) texexec does not read texexec.ini. One possibility is that $TEXMFLOCAL is not set (as you did not run setuptex) so texexec did not know where to place the format files. This also happens with Miktex and texexec creates a directory pdfetex in the current directory and dumps the format files there.

Re: [NTG-context] Fonts problem
Can you upload the pdf on a website (instead of the ML)? IMHO, problems with accentuated chars can come from the use of heterogeneous encodings (emacs unicode + context ec for example as I experienced). Check the encoding of your input file with file test.tex, if you get something like ISO-8859 text and you use ec or texnansi in cont-sys.tex, the problem is not encoding-related. ... It can help if you send the output messages of texexec... Jean Magnan de Bornier a écrit : (just a viewer for dvi files, does it matter?)

Hello,
Is there any way using '\it' in the title of a bib-entry, so that
ConTeXt/t-bib will hand it though into the bibliography listing?
Sure, just use \it ;-)
Seriously: does that not work for you? I tried
@ARTICLE{article-minimal,
author = {L[eslie] A. Aamport},
title = {The {\it Gnats\/} and Gnus Document Preparation System},
journal = {\mbox{G-Animal's} Journal},
year = 1986,
}
and it ran without any trouble.

Re: [NTG-context] components and figure search paths
so how is this component, when run on itself, supposed to locate itself, Not sure I completely understand your question. But if I run one component, I change to its directory first: cd chap/1 texexec c_ch1.tex Or is the canonical method: texexec chap/1/c_ch1.tex ? I've been in the habit of not doing it this way with tex tools, since (la/pdf)tex put the generated files in the current directory instead of in the directory of the source file. - how does the dir structure look ./chap/1/abc-1.eps ./chap/1/c_ch1.tex ./project_books.tex ./env_books.tex ./onebook.tex - where did you put the file It's in chap/1/ (along with the eps figure) - where did you run it I ran 'texexec onebook' in the ./ directory. Running the component works fine (if I cd to its directory first), because abc-1.eps is easy to find. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Can somebody confirm this? Or is something broken at my end? First of all: 1. in case you are using windows, update texmfstart.exe from cont-win.zip (you have to do that every now and then) I am indeed using windows. I deleted my entire tree and downloaded the latest mswincontext.zip, uninstalled it. I verified that texmfstart.exe is in the path and ran texmfstart newtexexec --mptex and get the same error. 2. check that texexec is a synonym (for example texexec.bat under windows or an executable) for running texmfstart [new]texexec I did check that. texexec is a synonym for texmfstart newtexexec. Infact, the example does not compile on live.contextgarden.net I get the same error message when I compile the tex file there. 3. Hans would say that you have to use textext instead of btex ... etex with \startMPpage label(textext(This is a test),origin) ; \stopMPpage I get || test1-mpgraph.mp || test1-mpgraph.mpx || ! Unable to make mpx file. || l.124 texpictures[1] := btex || This is a test etex ; as textext internally uses btex/etex. In the pdf file I get *unknown* instead of *This is a test*. I guess that unknown is textext's fallback mechanism. I doubt that this came with the latest distribution. The btex/etex and textext functionality is a bit broken anyway: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This is the first time I found it to be broken. It depends a lot on the system that you use (MikTeX/tetex/standalone), on texexec that you run (texexec or newtexexec), how you run it (a batch/shell script with texmfstart [new]texexec or from linux/windows binaries that come with other distributions than the standalone one). I am using the standalone distribution from pragma on windows. It might also be that write18 is set to off, it might be that some \runMP[TEX]graphic[s]true, \forceMP[TEX]graphic[s]true are set to false (chech your cont-usr.tex file). (I don't know which variable does what, but if you try to use an undefined one, TeX will complain anyway. Check the sources or try to switch on all the possible combinations of the commands mentioned above.) I had \runMPgraphicstrue and \runMPTEXgraphicstrue in cont-sys.tex I added \forceMPTEXgraphictrue to cont-sys.tex and remade the formats. Still, I get the same error. I checked in texmf.cnf and mpxcommand is set to makempx If I run makempx.exe test.mp test.mpx I get dvitomp.exe: mpx3568.dvi: No such file or directory makempx: Command failed: dvitomp mpxerr.dvi test.mpx makempx: can't move mpx3568.dvi to mpxerr.dvi: No such file or directory mpx3568.mp has one line end. and mpxerr.log is empty. The help of makempx says that makempx is equivalent to mpto -tex, texexec --batch --once --nomp, and dvitomp If I follows these steps manaually, adding --dvi to texexec I get an mpx file. My guess that the error is because 1. texmfstart texexec calls newtexexec 2. On the standalone distribution, newtexexec produces pdf by default. To check this, I created a texexec.bat file in my current directory so that it calls texmfstart texexec.pl and everything works fine now. Thus, for the time being, I have changed my texexec.bat to call texexec.pl. To use newtexexec, makempx should be changed to call texexec --batch --once --nomp --dvi ^^ Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008 ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] generating formats with newtexexec
Hi, Of course I am unable to give an answer. Yet I would like to mention, that also in the windows environment it does not work as expected. I found the format files in a separate directory not in the web2c path. Everything worked after moving the folder into the correct place. Willi Thomas A.

I just dlded the latest version and ran texmfstart newtexexec --make --all from within the directory where the format files should be written.
