Re: [NTG-context] How to insert a full page pdf.
David Munger wrote: Hi John, John R. Culleton : I need to insert some example pages from one document into another. Both are 8.5 x 11.

Can I select e.g., just page 2 from the external document to insert in my document? How? I'm no expert, but here's the way I do it: \externalfigure[filename][page=2] Then, I adjust the clipping to -- for instance -- get rid of the page number of the inserted `figure', as well as of its top and left margins. \clip [ voffset=1.25in, % clip the topmost part of the inserted page Also can help to specify width and height and factor \externalfigure[filename][page=2,width..,height=.., factor=..] See http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ and search for \externalfigure Actually it seems to me that inclusion doesn't manage things like comments etc. luigi ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] new beta (again)
Hi all, inline metapost generation was broken aftre upgrading context. I have seen the recent thread with several patches to texexec, so I updated to yesterday evening's beta in the hope that this would fix the problems. Unfortunately not. When trying to generate the mp graphic I get this error: sh: metafun: not found After that, mpost fails with: ! End of file on the terminal... why? Already when generating the metafun format with texexec --make, I get two errors: Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /homes/eguthoeh/bin/texexec line 2291, DATA line 184. Use of uninitialized value in scalar assignment at /homes/eguthoeh/bin/texexec line 2292, DATA line 184. I'm currently using TeX (Web2C 7.4.3) 3.14159 from the bash shell under solaris. Does somebody know which patches still have to be applied to texexec to get it working?

Hello,
here a few questions about typing:
- Is there a module for pretty-printing C-code?
None that I know of, if anybody has a solution, I am
interested myself as well
- How could I change the tabulator-width?
\chardef\spacespertab=1 % \t will now become *two* spaces,
% default is 7, making 8 spaces
- First tab is only 7 spaces, the other 8, why?
Looks like a bug, try this patch:
\def\doprocesstabskipline#1%
{\bgroup
\scratchcounter0 % TH: was \plusone
\dodoprocesstabskipline#1\relax
\egroup}
- How could I embed ConTeXt macros?
\setuptyping[option=commands] % enable commands
\starttyping
Here I would like to /BTEX \italic{some context-code} /ETEX
\stoptyping
- Where does the vertical space in \framed come from?
From a bug in \startpacked. Sorry, I don't know how to fix
that without breaking other stuff.

Re: [NTG-context] TABLE: spacing, before/after
On Tue, 19 Apr 2005 at 15:43:57-0400, Paul Tremblay wrote: Well, maybe it will be possible for Hans to include support for the missing features in a future release. To sum it up once again, what I am missing: - control over column and row spacing - material before/after a cell, e.g. \setupTABLE[row][first][before=bla] - command hooks like \setupTABLE[1][3][hook=\dowithentry] I'm not sure what hooks are! I assume the before could be something like \blankspace? Hook means that the table cell contents are passed to the specified command as an argument. You could use \uppercased for example to capitalize an entry. And indeed, I was thinking of controlling horizontal spacing by saying something like before=\hskip1em. I really do hope that natural tables will be further developed, since these are the only things I can see that are available only using the older mechanisms. And natural tables can do so many additional cool things that I don't want to use anything else. -- Eckhart ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

How does one get even more control. For example, if I want a

I want to center my figures.

This is the best I can come up with. This seems like a complete

Re: [NTG-context] OpenType installation basics for ConTeXt
Hi David. Thanks for giving the article a spin. The first suspect is the mapfile. You should have in your local tree: fonts/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-LIGA-KERN-public-torunska.map The contents may be confusing, but they *should* be parsable. If it's not there, or it's content-free, then I suspect that you're not using the latest LCDF typetools. You're a mac user, right? If so, then Gerben has the latest version (2.26) available in the *EXPERIMENTAL* i-Installer directory. Using the previous one he made available (2.2) was the #1 source of errors while the article was being reviewed. If I'm wide of the mark, email me your configuration (platform version numbers) map file off-list, and we'll see what we can find.
