[NTG-context] Using newly defined sections

2005-09-02 Thread Elliot Clifton
Hi,

I'm a ConTeXt newbie. I've read the read the chapter of the manual on
sectioning. I understand that it is possible to create a new type of
section using \definesection and setup section but how do I insert an
instance of my new section into my documents? With predefined sections
I can use commands such as \section, \chapter, etc..

The reason I want to define and use a new section is so that I may use
it as a substitute for LaTeX's \author. I'm publishing an academic
journal for which I need to be able to include author's' names in the
header and in the TOC. Defining a new section seemed to be the obvious
solution, but I don't know how to put it into practice. If create a
new section how do I put it to use in my documents?

Any suggestions?

Elliot

I would appreciate a description of what you are asking for. I find
example LaTeX code without explanations less than intructive.

I just want to know how to have a table in Context with cells which can 
contain many lines each; something like this:


---
|Header1   | header2 | header 3   |
---
|This is a text splitted   | 2005|Thank you   |
|in 3 lines because it | |for the tip!|

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Toward an errata sheet.

Looking to the future, if I see a post with errata in the subject
line I can inspect it and mark up my manual. At that point I
don't need the particular post any more.

If instead we are to use the wiki, then someone (not me) needs to
explain the ins and outs of wikidom, create a page etc.
 as outlined in my first paragraph.


I have created a page for errata in the ConTeXt-EN manual, here:
  http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXtEN_Errata

The relevant ins and outs of Wikidom should be fairly straightforward -- to 
add an erratum, click on the edit link at the top of the page, and then 
add your erratum in the edit window (at this point, you should be able to 
simply duplicate the formatting of an existing item, without needing to 
know anything else), and click submit.


As you note, it's useful to post here about the errata one discovers, so 
that people know of them (and also so that they can be discussed -- perhaps 
an erratum is itself in error!).  My suggestion would be to post everything 
here, and include a note as to whether it has or has not been added to the 
Wiki page.  If it hasn't been added, someone will surely add it.


The three errata mentioned in this thread are on the page; I'll go back and 
see what else I find in the archives.


- Brooks

P.S. I think there should be a page for Errata in general, linked from the 
front page of the Wiki.  (Or, else, the Bugs and Workarounds page should 
be changed to be Bugs, Workarounds, and Errata)  However, I don't have 
access to the front page of the Wiki to change that; can someone who has 
access do that?

[NTG-context] Accessibility

2005-09-02 Thread David Arnold
All,

We got the note below from our college president today. What does anyone know about making context and pdf accessible to student with vision problems?




x-tad-smallerDear Colleagues:

 

We have an obligation and a commitment to full accessibility to our courses and programs for students with disabilities.

By sending this memo, I want to inform you that effective immediately, and in adherence to College of the Redwoods Board of Trustees Policy No. 809 Administrative Regulation 809.07, specifically Part III of the Policy Statement Access to Electronic and Information Technology /x-tad-smallerhttp://www.redwoods.edu/district/board/policies/ar/AR80907.Htmx-tad-smaller , all instructional web pages and Blackboard postings must meet Level 1 accessibility standards as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)  and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Part /x-tad-smaller1194.22x-tad-smaller. These standards are primarily concerned with the construction of electronic documents including web pages and the readability of those documents by assistive technology used by students with disabilities including students who are low vision or blind.

 

In designing online instructional documents for your courses, please ensure that they meet the specific requirements for accessibility compliance found in both of the following:

 

W3C Checklist /x-tad-smallerhttp://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/full-checklist.htmlx-tad-smaller

and

Section 508 Checklist /x-tad-smallerhttp://www.webaim.org/standards/508/checklistx-tad-smaller

 

Faculty web page authors may also access the staff of the Center for Teaching Excellence for guidance and assistance in web page and Blackboard development. Additional online information can also be found by visiting the


/x-tad-smallerhttp://hightech.redwoods/accessibility/x-tad-smaller 


/x-tad-smaller 

 

x-tad-smallerUsing these resources, each of us can ensure the accessibility of our course materials.  Thank you so much for your attention to this important matter-

I don't know that much offhand.  However, with web pages, one of the 
simpler ways of testing compatibility with screen-readers is using lynx to 
view the file; I'd think that using one of the pdf-to-text converters on 
the pdf file would do about the same for .pdf files.  It's not a perfect 
test by any means, but it's a good first start.


Given that the TeX-PDF-text pathway is often recommended for getting text 
out of TeX documents, I suspect it's likely to be reasonably ok.

[NTG-context] Problem following OpenType installation basics for ConTeXt article

2005-09-02 Thread Gavin Sinclair
Greetings (first post),

Adam Lindsay's recent article OpenType installation basics for
ConTeXt in The PracTeX Journal
(http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/lindsay) is very well written.
Unfortunately, I was unable to perform the first step.

As the article specified, I ran the command:

$ texfont --ma --in --ve=public --co=torunska --lcdf --pre --va=liga,kern

It started off OK, but failed to properly create the map file.
Selected output follows:

   extending map file :
E:/MiKTeX/local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-LIGA-KERN-public-torunska.map

  font identifier : AntykwaTorunska-Bold - text - tfm
 processing files : otf - tfm + enc
otftotfm: './AntykwaTorunska-Bold.otf': No such file or directory
no mapfile from otftotfm : texfont.map

  font identifier : AntykwaTorunska-BoldItalic - text - tfm
 processing files : otf - tfm + enc
otftotfm: './AntykwaTorunska-BoldItalic.otf': No such file or directory
no mapfile from otftotfm : texfont.map

  [and so on for each .otf file]


So, otftotfm is claiming that the files don't exist, but they
absolutely 100% do.  Perhaps it's looking for them somewhere else?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards,
Gavin
