Hallo,

what I am doing wrong with the following snipped?

The \par in the \item does not work.
---
\defineenumeration[question][location=top,text=Aufgabe]

Hi,

don't know why there is a problem but \endgraf instead of \par works for me.

[NTG-context] math: \usemathcollection and \enablemathcollection

2007-04-04 Thread Johannes Kuester
I'm quite lost with \usemathcollection and \enablemathcollection --
I checked the manual, the wiki, and the source browser, but without
success for my problems. I just don't get how math font switching works
for e.g. Lucida fonts, and why it does not for my fonts in my setup.

So:

What is the correct use of
  \usemathcollection
and
  \enablemathcollection
i.e. where should these appear (and where not)?
Do I need \enablemathcollection at all?

In my current setup (see below), I have two problems:

 Major problem: I would like to switch my math fonts globally.

Currently I have to apply \enablemathcollection e.g. after every
\startcolumns (and after other environments as well),
otherwise my math fonts are used, but not in the desired encoding,
which results in wrong symbols shown.

 Minor problem: I would like make sure that all math symbols do come
from my math fonts and aren't taken from CM or other fonts.
Is this possible?

E.g. could I get an error message (or some special black box or the like
in my pdf file) for each math control sequence which is not (yet)
defined in my current mathcollection?


My current setup:

-- an environment file env-signa.tex with
   (among many other definitions)

  \usetypescriptfile[type-opticals]
  \usetypescriptfile[type-minionpro]
  \usetypescriptfile[type-tymnmath]

  \usetypescript[MinionPro][ec]

  \setupbodyfont[MinionPro]
  \switchtobodyfont[MinionPro,9.6pt]


-- a type-minionpro.tex file with
  \starttypescript [serif] [MinionProSizes] [ec]
% (followed by many \definefontsynonym)
  \stoptypescript

  \starttypescript[MinionPro][ec]
\usetypescript[serif][Opticals][size]
\usetypescript[serif][MinionProSizes][ec]
\usetypescript[newmath][MinionMath] %[size]

\definebodyfontenvironment
  [9.6pt]
  [\s!text=9.6pt,\s!script=6.8pt,\s!scriptscript=4.9pt,
   \c!x=8.4pt,\c!xx=5.8pt,\c!big=11pt,\c!small=7.6pt]

% further \definebodyfontenvironment entries

\enablemathcollection[newmath]
\usemathcollection[newmath]
\quittypescriptscanning
  \stoptypescript


-- a math-newmath.tex file with
  math font synonyms, definitions and some blocks like
  \startmathcollection[newmath]
% (many \definemathsymbol entries)
  \stopmathcollection

  This is a general file for math fonts following
  TeX NewMath encodings
  (this should develop in a real ConTeXt module for general use)


-- a type-tymnmath.tex file, setting up my math fonts, with
  \starttypescript[newmath][MinionMath]
% (with
%  \definefontsynonym
% and
%  \definebodyfont [9.6pt] [mm]
%  [ ... ]
% entries)
  \stoptypescript


-- and of courese a main file with
  \startproject project_signa
  \environment env_signa
   and components (chapter files) with
   \startcomponent kap_01
   \project project_signa


Thanks for any help!

Johannes

[NTG-context] Makeindex and Context

2007-04-04 Thread John R. Culleton
I like the extended feature set of makeindex so I creatred my own 
little routine to use it with Context on a recent project. Here is 
the code:

\newwrite\ind
\immediate\openout\ind=book.idx
\def\sidx#1{\write\ind{\\indexentry{#1}{\the\pageno}}}

It works fine from the indexing point of view. But if the \sidx{} tag 
is embedded in a paragraph then some extra space is left where the 
tag existed in the paragraph. I had to move all such tags to either 
the beginning or the end of the paragraph.

What did I fail to do?

 I had played around with strut=yes, but had not realized I also

 As an aside, what books are good for learning TeX programming for  
 ConTeXt?  Anything besides the TeXBook (and I saw TeX by Topic

Hi Brian,

the best method to control nested tables is by integrating a setup
command for nested tables.

The one thing missing from your example is the thing that is causing
the spaces: the actual input file. The definitions above look fine,
and are certainly not the cause.

[NTG-context] OpenType in Windows

2007-04-04 Thread Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky
Hello,

I heard that Mac users can typeset in ConTeXt with OpenType fonts. Is
it possible on Windows platform? (either in MiKTeX or TeXLive?)

This uses xetex.  It works for sure if you count running the linux
version of TeX Live 2007 in a virtual machine, and very likely will
work in native Win32, but I haven't tried it.   Note that maths still
uses the conventional math fonts (e.g., Type 1).

[NTG-context] natural tables - first row not gray

2007-04-04 Thread MASON Peter J
G'day, firstly thanks for your contextgarden.net website and the live-context 
facility. I checked my results against it. Could I seek help on this please.

I'm expecting rows 2-4 of the table resulting from the segment below to have 
odd columns in rows 2-4 with white-on-black but all columns are coming out as 
black-on-white. I also tried completely specifying it by supplying 
\setupTABLE[even][2-4] ... as well.

Something obvious I expect, but I'm missing it. Thanks.

[NTG-context] spreading natural tables across the page

2007-04-04 Thread MASON Peter J
I'm trying to have my tables extend across the full (\textwidth) of the page. 
In LaTeX I was using tabular*, specifying a \textwidth for width, and with 
approp use of  @{\extracolsep\fill}} bu am not having any success. Basically, 
in ConteXT I want odd columns to act as labels and be tight fitting but even 
cols to be the values an NOT be tight-fitting, within a page-wide table, ie 
some tight, some not. As well, I' d like not to be explicitly specifying column 
width.

I saw examples using option=stretch somewhere but am not able to get my use of 
same happening. As well, I' d like not to be explicitly specifying column 
width. Could a kind person please point me to an example of this usage.

Thanks.
