[NTG-context] Simple problem using texexec to combine pdfs
Hello, i am rather new to ConTeXt but i had to try it after i met Hans in a little workshop about his system in Darmstadt this year. Thanks again for the insights Hans :-) Now i found out that texexec is also a pretty nice tool for combining single pdf files into one. So i tried: texexec --pdfcombine --combination=1*1 --result=felix.pdf *.pdf to combine all pdfs in the wd to felix.pdf. That's working fine besides the fact that a footnote is added to each page containing the file name and the date. That's maybe pretty handy sometimes but not for me at the moment. I checked the texexec manpages and the manual but i did not find the right command/switch to do it. May be i'm just missing some rooky stuff. Could someone help me out here? BTW: I'm using the latest TeXlive installation on RedHat. Best regards Martin P.S.: I know that i could change the temporary texexec.tex by hand and rerun that file. But that's a bit to clumsy for such a sophisticated system, isn't it? ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Re: backgrounds
Hello, Could You give me some hint how to setup different backgrounds for even and odd pages? Lets say I would like to have something like I don't know about backgrounds, but see s-mag-01.tex for odd/even page graphics.

Hi,

\usesubpath[reset]
Hans, are you sure about that?
(\use*sub*path)
Also without expected results. So what is wrong in the following
code?
\starttext
\usesubpath[lofo1]
\processXMLfilegrouped{aqq.xml}
\usesubpath[reset]
try: \usepath[reset]
indeed reset only works for usepath
(has to do with the fact that any \usesubpath triggers extension of the
path list)

Re: [NTG-context] Re: reset \use[sub]path
Problem: reset path
Also without expected results. So what is wrong in the following
code?
\starttext
\usesubpath[lofo1]
\processXMLfilegrouped{aqq.xml}
\usesubpath[reset]
try: \usepath[reset]
I did so. I've noticed that 'reset' option works for \usepath only but I
still get the solution. Please consider the following example (attached). We
have './lofo1' and './lofo2' directories, each contains 'x.xml' file (the
same filename but different content). ConTeXt code is as following:
\starttext
\usepath[lofo1]
\processXMLfilegrouped{x.xml}
\usepath[reset]
\usepath[lofo2]
\processXMLfilegrouped{x.xml}
\stoptext
In this case 'reset' option works probably OK, since \allinputpaths variable
IS redefined to \empty (lines 99 to 104 of core-job.tex). So I expect that
the first processed XML file should be './lofo1/x.xml' and the second --
'./lofo2/x.xml'. But './lofo1/x.xml' file is processed twice instead. What
construction should I use to process two or more XML files, which have the
same name but different localization? I'm aware that my problem is not
common but...
Thanks for Your help, Pawe/l

Hello again, I did so. I've noticed that 'reset' option works for \usepath only but I still get the solution. Please consider the following example (attached). OK, I had a close look at it and digged into deeper mechanisms of path handling in ConTeXt. ConTeXt stores the exact location of a file just by the filename. Once you read x.xml, ConTeXt remembers where it is. You get a hint when saying \tracefilestrue in your tex source. Next time you read x.xml, ConTeXt looks into its internal macros (fn..x.xml in this case) and reads the full path. And this is lofo1 in your case. I don't have a solution for you. Sorry.
