Re: [NTG-context] Re: Disable Metapost rendering?
Hi, that sounds very promising - especially --automp, since I don't really want to change my ConTeXt script everytime I changed a MP figure. Including --automp in my script file, however, didn't stop ConTeXt from recalculating my MP figures every time I typeset the document, even though I hadn't changed them in the meantime. I couldn't find anything about automp in the TeXExec manual, but the --help option tells me that automp causes it to render mp pictures only if needed. So how does it determine whether a recalculation is necessary or not? Is it a problem if my figures rely on the randomizers, like uniformdeviate()?

RE: [NTG-context] Re: A few questions regarding ConTeXt
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Münster Sent: den 24 juli 2004 19:45 Hello Mats, I agree with you: ConTeXt is certainly superior to LaTeX, but sometimes, I know how to do a special thing in LaTeX, but not in ConTeXt. Often I don't know, if a special feature is already there but undocumented, or not. Sometimes, I find a sort of workaround to get some LaTeX behaviour, for example \flushbottom. For beginners there is the document http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt. pdf by Berend de Boer. It would be nice, to have something like this for advanced topics, such as varioref or lettrine. These special LaTeX to ConTeXt examples can then be added to the ConTeXt-wiki: http://contextgarden.net/From_LaTeX_to_ConTeXt Cheers, Peter Thanks for the info. Having looked more closely at this, I guess it now stands between learning LaTeX and the memoir class, or learning ConTeXt. There are things that talk in favour for both these roadmaps, but I have not decided yet. One of the issues is how to solve a problem in ConTeXt if it suddenly becomes clear this or that feature is not implemented.

[NTG-context] Strange error ...
Hi, I got a simple drawing madeup in Metapost, which is then compiled into a pdf file with context. Now that I want to include this graphic in a text I stumble over the following: pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2) ConTeXt ver: 2004.6.30 fmt: 2004.7.21 Error: PDF version 1.5 -- xpdf supports version 1.4 (continuing anyway) Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table... Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary Error: Couldn't read xref table subsubject : - De tekst op het Gabarit Error: pdfetex.exe (file ./gabarit.pdf): xpdf: reading PDF image failed == Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished! Does anybody have a clue what happens? Kind regards Willi ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
