Right now, if you generate a single pdf of all the files, it is too 
big. I tried to generate the all pdfs individually, but it was taking 
too much time. For each file, cont-en.xml has to be parsed separately, 
which is slow. Can xml files be somehow tex-compiled, that is, the 
output of the tex parser be stored as a file, and the next time only 
the parser output is read, not the xml file.

I didn't, but I did just now, and yes, it is broken.
I get the same error you had, with the latest beta.

Looks like that bit of the ConTeXt code doesn't like the new
procsets in the new metapost version, because with this change:

   \starttext
   \startuseMPgraphic{test}
   mpprocset:=0;
   draw fullcircle scaled 4cm withpen pencircle scaled 1cm ;

[NTG-context] HZ with latest ConTeXt

Hello,

I've just seen the page about hanging and hz on the wiki, so I've tried the
example for lm:

\starttext
\input tufte
\page
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hanging][normal]
\setupalign[hanging] 
\usetypescript[modern-base][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[reset]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
\input tufte
\page
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hz][highquality]
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
%\usetypescript[modern-base][\defaultencoding]
%\setupbodyfont[reset]
%\setupbodyfont[modern]
\input tufte
\stoptext

I can get hanging but no hz (no difference between 2nd and 3rd page).

What is needed to get hz?

Cheers, Peter

basically \input reads a file and treats the material as if it were

 It might be that I have to output some TeX commands to the tmp.out

That is what we do in t-vim module. The 2context.vim script writes a 
file that tex can understand.

That will require one of the other methods, i think.

Another option is \typefile{tmp.out} which will display the file 
verbatim, or \typevimfile[syntax=txt]{tmp.out} using txt.vim from

Re: [NTG-context] HZ with latest ConTeXt

 I can get hanging but no hz (no difference between 2nd and 3rd page).

 What is needed to get hz?

This answer is not definitive but based only on my own experiences.

1) I was unable to get hz in some fonts.  If I haven't missed anything
relevant in extracting this from a large document, the following
fragment gives me hz (and hanging/handling) in NimbusRomNo9L:

\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][handling][normal]
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hz][highquality]
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript[serif][postscript,courier,helvetica,times]
[\defaultencoding,name]
\setupbodyfont[Serif,13pt]

2) As hz is sometimes not obvious when viewed, I check the fonts in the
resulting PDF to see if any are extended.  Most PDF viewers list the
fonts under File/Properties or similar or you can pdffonts foo.pdf
at the command line.

They might not be used with pdftex 1.40, which (from what I gathered
reading the NEWS file) can adjust the local text transform matrix to
do font extension.

[NTG-context] dvipos outputs scaled points, which confuses context

2007-01-05 Thread Sanjoy Mahajan
To stress-test things and because xdvi renders crisper text than any pdf
viewer, I just tried 'texexec --dvi --nobackend notes'.  It failed with:

 (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/sort-lan.tex) (./notes.tuo
 ! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
 to be read again 
-
 \pospxywhd ...fnum \positionanchormode =\plusone -
   \MPx \pageanchor \fi ...
 l.193 ...952663}{8880535}{334}{6216377}{134561832}

The offending line in notes.tuo is:

  \pospxywhd{text:33}{33}{10952663}{8880535}{334}{6216377}{134561832}

texexec works fine in PDF mode, where that line in the notes.tuo file is

  
\pospxywhd{text:33}{33}{167.12437pt}{135.50621pt}{334.24875pt}{523.95755pt}{0.0pt}

And 167.12437pt = 10952663sp.  So dvipos (Version 20030628 (KPATHSEA))
is outputting the locations in scaled points (sp), but the results are
being interpreted as printers points (pt), whereupon the dimension is
absurdly large.

[NTG-context] wiki: linux installation updates

2007-01-05 Thread Sanjoy Mahajan
I updated the Linux installation pages on the wiki, mostly the Debian
one, but also the tetex 3.0 page and I added a short entry for Ubuntu
6.10 (edgy).

The Debian page now describes how to install using Norbert's context
packages.  It describes a system-wide install based on those and the
texlive packages.  Let me know if you find errors or problems (or just
correct the errors on the page).

Sorry about the nightmare per-user install instructions I put there
before.
