[NTG-context] warning: XeTeX broken typescripts (please wait with upgrading)
Hello,
While waiting for the train in Köln (just back from one of the best
ConTeXt meetings ever ;), I decided to post this warning/explanation
to the mailing list (before Hans gets back and blocks my account ;)
For those who rely on (complex) XeTeX typescripts, please don't
upgrade ConTeXt as long as you have a working version (if not, you can
download and extract an older zip from
https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=14).
Hans is currently working on a high-level user interface for
typescripts in luatex, and the old behaviour has been slightly broken,
mostly due to the fact that if one wants to support fonts that are not
installed, the bracket notation has to be used, which doesn't fit well
into the model (one would need to specify fonts in constructs such as
[{{'[fontname]'}}]). Without rewriting some basic routins, the font
definition would look really strange that way.
Currently the format builds OK (it was completely broken for some
time, but now you can at least work with it again), you can still
select fonts with constructs like
\font\a='TestFont/BI:mapping=tex-text' \a
and you can also define synonyms like (I hope that I got it right this time)
\definefontsynonym[MyFont][name:RealFontName][encoding=uc]
% encoding will go (has gone?) away
but typescripts don't really work the way that worked once.
XeTeX typescripts have been relatively primitive so far: the syntax like
\definefontsynonym [DidotItalic]
['Didot/I:mapping=tex-text:+dliga'] [encoding=uc]
is not the best possible ansd will most probably not be supported any
more. Instead, one would probably write something similar to
\definefontsynonym [DidotItalic] [name:Didot] [features=dliga]
% mapping=tex-text might be default
but that's not the final word about it yet.
Sadly Adam Lindsay (who created the whole machinery) doesn't have much
time to work with ConTeXt, and I'm not really a TeXacker (if anyone
else is willing to help, any help would be more than wellcome).
I don't want to force too much the fix (it's better to have it
implemented properly and to wait some more), although I hope that it
won't take too much time to have it finished. I was silently hoping
that Hans will finish the luatex OpenType support before the whole
machinery could be backported to XeTeX, but sadly it was
(unintentionally) broken before a good replacement could be provided.
I would like to ask the ConTeXt-XeTeX users for understanding.
I cross-posted that message, but in case that you would need to reply
for some reason, please do so on the ConTeXt mailing list, not on the
XeTeX one, since XeTeX itself has really nothing to do with the
subject (apart from the slightly unfortunate syntax for selecting
uninstalled OpenType font).

[NTG-context] capitals in heads
I hope (I am sure) the meeting was a success. And I hope that you are still willing to answer a simple question: How can I get capitals in a head? The following didn't work: \setuphead[subsection][style=cap] %aborts compilation. (But slanted works) I also unsuccessfully tried style=\cap (or \kap etc.), command= \cap etc. (But style=\sc works. I don't want small caps, though). I also tried concocting my own \def, again without success. Thanks for your help, Jörg ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Did you try \WORD{} ?

AFAIK \cap and \kap are LaTeX...

[NTG-context] gray scale conversion of colored text
Hi, I currently have a problem with the conversion of some mp graphics into gray scale. The mp graphics themself look great, but *text is always converted to black*, regardless of its real color. Is there a way to fix this? Peter ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Sorry, I made a mistake. The text that is used inside MP has the correct
gray value. Only the ConTeXt part always uses black as textcolor.
So my problem is, that want to use colored text in a non colored document.
Something like
\setupcolors[conversion=always]
\starttext
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{An example text.}%
\bgroup\graycolor[cyan]\copy\scratchbox\egroup
\startcolor[green]\copy\scratchbox\stopcolor
\box\scratchbox
\stoptext
This always gives me black text, as color is not activated. How do I get
the correct gray scale values for the text?

You can try to make somthing by yourself and start with the zahl2string [1] package for LaTeX and adapt it to ConTeXt. This should be not such a big problem, you need only to replace the \newcommand defintions with \def and replace the german texts with english ones or whatever language you like.

I converted the macro to the plain TeX format. The only thing you need
to do now is to change the german text you own.

Hello!
First, I want to thank you all. It's my first post here, but I've read many
of your emails before, and I've already found a lot of solutions for my
problems in there. I'm using Context intensely since several months (before,
I was Latex) and at the moment, I'm setting my first big document (400 pages,
very boring) with it.
My issue: I have a little problem with headings I can't solve by my own. It's
rather simple: I would like to align headings that span across multiple lines
on the left margin, like this:
a) This is (not really) a very, very, very
lng title
and not that way:
a) This is (not really) a very, very, very
lng title
The use of (\setuphead[section][command=\MySectionCommand] disables the
standard alignment mechanism. I wonder if there is a simpler way to achieve
this.
Any ideas? Thank you very much!

Hi Paul,
the solution to you problem is very simple:
\def\MySectionCommand#1#2%
{\vbox
{\hsize\textwidth
#1 #2}}
\setuphead
[section]
[command=\MySectionCommand]
\starttext
\section{\dorecurse{100}{foo }}
\stoptext
To learn more about this you can read the german book Einführung in TeX:
