Hints about that, or a native TeX method[1], would be very much
appreciated. At the moment it is a relatively slow process of manual
trial and error.
this is something tex is pretty good at and it runs as fast as normal
how does your current code look? (the solution depends a bit it); think
of something
Sorry, I should have included that. The cut down version follows; I
have a few more comments and so forth so I can revisit it if I wish.
I didn't make any attempt to automate the process at this stage, but
will have a play with all the suggestion and see if I can get it to
work.
For reference, this is aimed at printing multiple identical labels in
each batch, rather than distinct content on each label, so I don't worry
about the font size changing between the individual labels in the run or
anything.

Re: [NTG-context] IPA/TIPA support in Context?
I think the answer is zero or nearly zero. If you have a bit of patience, I can do a port of tipa.sty (quite easy), but it will take some time before I can start on it. in the process taco and i can discuss low level support issues as well; it's all a matter of demand and time; of course after a port, taco would mildly force you to write an article for the MAPS -) I had done some basics with the font/encoding parts before. I solicited feedback on what next parts/features were important to tackle next, and I got nowhere. I'll try to dig this up and send it to you guys in the next few days. (Remind me if you don't hear from me!) Perhaps this is a stupid question, but do we need more than some definitions in the Unicode encoding vectors and typescripts for some fonts? Is (T)IPA support about more than using some phonetic chars? Please enlighten me.

Hi,
In my account, ConTeXt works no prob, I got a perfect PDF.
My problem occurs when I run ConTeXt via web, under Apache's user of course.
How to trace ConTeXt run under web server ?
Reversing the order will hopefully give a clue on how to proceed:
make ConTeXt create mpgraph.mp first, then the other one. If that
gets you past the error (and into a similar error: test-mpgraph.mp),
then it is probably a number of open files limit problem. Here is
the relevant macro, with the order already adjusted :
\def\initializeMPgraphics
{\bgroup
\ifx\bufferprefix\empty\else
\let\bufferprefix\empty
\initializeMPgraphicfile
\fi
\egroup
\initializeMPgraphicfile }
I'd guess it is pretty much impossible to trace under a webserver. Can
you install the same environment on a local computer? Then you could
strace any process.
You can try to add --passon='-kpathsea-debug=4' in the texexec
call. All the kpathsea debug output should end up in your apache
error_log (the number 4 is for fopen/fclose traces).
Perhaps this is a problem with php? Did you try running this via cgi?
If you are lucky, there may be some hint in your global or local
apache error file.
Good luck,
Taco

AFAICT, there are: - 2 new font encodings needed (T3 and T3S), with associated named characters - a set of font definitions - unicode tables (for utf input) need extension - there are some macros in IPA for special input That's about it for the basic TIPA font support, I guess. For proper linguistic work, you need a large set of extra macros, but those are not in the LaTeX tipa.sty either.

Re: [NTG-context] GNU Emacs/ AucTeX configuration for ConTeXt
2005/12/2, Renaud AUBIN [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all, Is there someone using GNU Emacs with ConTeXt. After some googlelyzing, I've learnt : 1. ConTeXt mode from Berend de Boer is now included in AucTeX 2. Some people use Emacs with ConTeXt and METAPOST, but with special .el files that seems not really up-to-date I didn't found usefull information to configure properly AucTeX in order to work well with ConTeXt and METAPOST, even in the auctex mailing list. It's ok for the menu (apparently managed by site) but I don't have syntax highlighting except for comment and indenting doesn't work well. So, my questions are: 1. Since there is a ConTeXt mode, I suppose there is some advanced features like syntax highlighting and indentation rules. Am I right ? Yes, although the highlighting is rather sparse, mainly it seems to color anything after \ in gray, and the indentation rules somewhat finicky, requiring you to adhere to a structure it can parse. 2. If I'm right, how to configure it ? Some of the things are available as defcustoms but most of it I think requires hacking the functions. 3. I will use METAPOST in my .tex files, how to manage this within Emacs ? There is a metapost.el that is distributed with GNU Emacs (but not with XEmacs, works there too though). I sometimes just change to that major mode in the middle of the file, and this should be possible to automate using mmm, but I never tried. 4. You know advanded features I must know ? ;-) There is TeX debugging just as for LaTeX, automatically locating the error in the source and explaining it. I think possibly that the reason for the sparse syntax highlighting is the higher frequency of inline definitions in ConTeXt, making it impossible to keep up with it. I think it should be parsable, but requires emacs-lisp skills way beyond mine. I'm sorry but I'm addicted to Emacs and don't want to use Scite even if it seems ConTeXt-friendly. I'm aware of the fact that this mail is more Emacs/AucTeX related but since I didn't succeed in finding answers yet I submit this issue to the ConTeXt community.

[NTG-context] cal calligraphic
I am confused about the behaviour of \cal and calligraphic.
In a font where the calligraphic letters are in MathItalic all goes
well.
But, in a font where the calligraphic letters come from another font
I get:
\definefontsynonym [Calligraphic] [FONT_OTHER_THAN_MathSymbol]
in text: \calligraphic{ABC} is ok
in text: {\cal ABC} is ok
in math: $\calligraphic{ABC}$ is ok
in text: ${\cal ABC}$ IS NOT OK, SYMBOLS KEEP COMING FROM MATHSYMBOL
I would the font redefinition also being obeyed in math {\cal} ?
Why is this the only exception?

[NTG-context] Re: Some $\mframed{math}$ questions
--- On Dec 2, Mojca Miklavec wrote ---
1. What's the best way to frame a formula like here:
\placeformula
\startformula
\mframed{x^2+y^2=z^2}
\stopformula
The problem is that:
- formula number is shifted downwards in comparison to the formula
without a number
- I don't know how to do the settings (frame color, frame offset)
globally. There's no \setupmframed[...] command. It's probably
possible to use a sort of
\setupframed[whatever_setting_influencing_only_mframed],
but I don't know how.
Sorry, no idea on how to do this.
2. What's the general strategy when doing evel stuff with formula
numbering? I would like to use \eqalign and then number formulas like
on the following example:
z^2=x^2+y^2(1)
=(x'-x_0)^2+(y'-y_0)^2 % no number
=R^2\cos^2(\phi)(2)
The following works. I still find the amsmath way of doing this much
easier, but equation numbering has not been ported to amsl module
\starttext
\placeformula
\startformula
\eqalignno{
z^2 =x^2+y^2 \formulanumber\cr
=(x'-x_0)^2+(y'-y_0)^2 \cr% no number
=R^2\cos^2(\phi) \formulanumber\cr
}
\stopformula
\stoptext
Can I somehow number the formulas (1), (2), (3.a), (3.b), (3.c), (4),
(5.1), (5.2)? I would like to manually provide where to start and stop
numbering with x.a or x.1, x.2.
Have a look at the wiki http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math for the manual
way to number each subformula. I think one can define a
\start(stop)subformula[format = ??] to put a \place(sub)formula
automatically. But I do not know how to define such an environment
properly.
3. How can I put more than one equation in a row and number all of
them (as if they were placed in three columns)?
One way to cheat can be to start a three column mode
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=3,tolerance=verytolerant]
\placeformula
\startformula
E = mc^2
\stopformula
\column
\placeformula
\startformula
E = mc^2
\stopformula
\column
\placeformula
\startformula
E = mc^2
\stopformula
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
Again, one could define a start-stop environment for this.
4. How can I move the formula number one row lower in case that the
formula is too long and if it would overlap with the formula number
otherwise?
Not sure what you mean here. Context (rather tex, I think) does this by
default
\starttext
\placeformula
\startformula
a = ddd ccc
ee f ggg
\stopformula
\stoptext

It would require very little programming. syntax/2html.vim, which
converts the buffer to a HTML document with syntax highlighting, is 526
lines in the current CVS incarnation. A syntax/2context.vim would be
even shorter, perhaps 150 to 200 lines. If I find the time I’ll write
something this weekend. I’m catching a could though, so I might not
:-(.
A splitting headache notwithstanding, here’s a syntax/2context.vim that
weighs in at 170 lines. There are still things to do, like figuring out
how to complement this on the ConTeXt side (i.e., defining \highlight)
and things will depend on how this is done. Some sort of \type
environment would be nice, as it is better to not do escaping of special
characters on the Vim side. Someone with better knowledge of how to do
this than I have is welcome to finish it. The \highlight command should
be defined something like this (pseudo-tex-code):
\pdef\highlight[#1]{#2}%
{\bgroup
\setupcolorforgroup[#1]%
\type{#2}%
\egroup}
#1 is a group name, such as Statement, Operator, or Comment. #2 may
contain multiple lines, and I don’t know how well this will work on the
TeX side. It may also contain special characters like {, #, , and so
on. Suggestions?
