Hi,
Actually I tried your file and got the same Undefined message in
place of the graphics.
However the following works for me (latest ConTeXt installed with i-
Installer on Mac OS X 10.4.6):
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startbuffer[essai]
numeric u; u = .4cm;
path p; p = (10u,0)--(0,0)--(0,10u);
pickup pencircle scaled .8mm;
drawdblarrow p withcolor red;
label.rt(textext($3x^2+\pi$), (5u,6u));
\stopbuffer
\placefigure[left]{bla.bla}{\processMPbuffer[essai]}
\input dawkins
\stoptext
If I add
\useMPlibrary[txt]
at the beginning everything works fine as well. But if I add
\runMPgraphicstrue
then I get the Undefined message in the PDF. So it seems that the
problem comes from this latter command.
Hi all, I tried various ways as suggested on my file with the setups
\useMPlibrary[txt] and \runMPgraphicstrue. The only combination that's
working is to have \useMPlibrary[txt] and not the other. Is it proper to
my installation, as others seem to have other requirements?
As for texmfstart texexec it is unknown on my machine, I don't have ruby
installed anyway (is it necessary?).
Thanks to all!

I normally never use word processors other than for text exchange - I write letters and invoices in InDesign, even if I try to switch to ConTeXt for that. One of my last projects (a book on steam engineering) contained a lot of formulae; I would have done it with ConTeXt, but the customer wanted to get editable WYSIWYG data, so I used ID again.

Your first message said that you were running texexec.pl. Try
switching to texexec.rb, i.e., invoke context with

ok, what you see happen in 'non xetex context' is ok,

you can only set the catcodes 0-255
\catcode `number=number

\bgroup
\let\unicodechar\unicodenumber
\catcodeð=\active \defð{^^F0}

could work (watch out: no `) but again, \catcode16 bit number is not

so, a the moment, what you observe is ok; at the end of this year, in a
32 bit pdftex, things may work different

[NTG-context] Space between footnote number and text
Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the space between a footnote number and the footnote text? I am formatting my footnotes in paragraph form (n=0) and sometimes the footnote numbers actually appear at the end of a line with the textwrapped around tothe beginning of the next line (which doesn't look very attractive). I would prefer there to be no space at all between the footnote number and the text, but if there has to be one, it seems like it should be a non-breaking space. Is there a way to "fix" this?

I'm involved with a report series for a small scientific organization. Years ago the organization hired a designer who knew PageMaker. A couple reports were done in PM, but the next one had losts of math and a plain TeX version of the MS. We used ConTeXt to duplicate his design, with better results than you can get from PM. Meanwhile, other authors want to use LaTeX, the designer moved on, and the organization couldn't find a contractor willing to learn ConTeXt, so I ended up creating a LaTeX style. My feeling is that ConTeXt is good for creating one-off designs, but for scientific work LaTeX is unavoidable. Few people are willing to invest time in ConTeXt when they are already familiar with LaTeX and use it routinely for journal articles, proceedings, etc. In particular, it is easy to cut and paste equations between reports and articles. -- George N.

we would probably need the glue with DISCRETE STEP of
stretch/shrink.
Then we can say e.g.
\let\bl=\baselineskip
\setuphead

[before=\vskip1\bl plus1\bl withstep1\bl]
to get vertical space before section head exactly 1 OR 2
\baselineskip height.
Another solution with stepwise box:
\vbox to2\bl plus2\bl withstep1\bl{\vfil heading \vfil}
hm, worth investigating but maybe wait for what pdftex will bring some
day soon
you mean things about lua?
! the only problem was in the table of contents + columns;
from the first line there was a small shift between columns;
perhaps \splittopskip? but setting it to large enough value
does not solve it.
could be; actually i wish i'd set topskip to strutheight by default
which would make life way easier
perhaps; but imagine different strutheight in different columns (each
column top line contains different font size - in the content it can be
very frequent if each head level is typeset with diferent size); what about
\setupcolumns[topskip=dimen|font] if font is given, dimen is calc
after Hans improvement seems that some floats soes not dissappered
now, but need to be carefull
i think that indeed some floats get lost bugs were solved but it's
always a bit tricky with left-overs
+ floats insertion with specifying place
? for top float: automatically setting \placeongrid[{broad,high}]
for bottom float \placeongrid[{broad,low}]
to be vertically align with text on the rest of column(s)
there is some control possible, so remind me when you need it again
(\OTRSETprepareforcolumnslot permits log/middle/high handling but it's
not keyword driven (yet)
OK.
* balancing: only manually by setting:
\setupcolumnsetlines[columnset_id][columnset_page][column][line]
! Not so painful if it not occures next: If there are many
floats near balancing place they sometimes disappear or cause ignoring
balancing - even if they can fit on the place.
? understand that automatical balancing with floats is extremly
difficult
indeed
* page floats: big improvements during the work.
! running marginal text continue through the page with only float
= so you have to manually insert blank vertical margin on such place
* header footers: Hans did a new column marking:
\getmarking[marking_id][column][last/first].
! There are some problems [perhaps with expansion (different
counter number and text)] if marking goes between two columnsets (framed
chapters cross two cols in examples).

\settrue \manyMPspecials
this is the default now (today i played with persistent mp runs and that
will speed up runtime processing enourmously)

[NTG-context] /author parameters in Bib module
Hi all.
I´m a relative newbie in ConTEXt but have used LaTEX for a couple of
years. I recently decided to write me master's thesis in ConTEXt and so
far it has been sweet...
I was looking into the Bib module and there is only one thing that I
can't find in the documentation. What are parameters in the \author
field? This is what I found in the documentation:
\author[#1]{#2}[#3]{#4}{#5} AUTHOR The author of a standalone
publication, like a monograph.
What do #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5 stand for? If we look at the doc we get:
\author[]{Taco}[T.]{}{Hoekwater}
So we get:
#2 = First name.
#3 = Initial of first name? Middle name?
#5 = Last name
I have no idea what to do with #1 and #4.
Thanks in advance...

This said, I now uses context as backend typesetting engine to convert the DocBook documents into PDF.

BTW, I think that the biggest limitation to have context more used is the installation difficulties: too many dependencies to update by hand (tetex, LM fonts, launching scripts, config files), no standard installation (what about having one day something like a configure; make install), no packaging à la RPM, apt-get, or portinstall. Of course, once done, upgrading the context release is not a big deal, but the first step is not obvious. It's the only explanation I've found why latex is so popular; knowing a bit more the context interface and features I now look latex as a stone age tex macro package.
