[NTG-context] Installing ConTeXt Minimals on a Mac
What follows are some queries that I will be happy to write up for the wiki. The aim (hope?) is to develop a set of instructions for installing the minimals on a Mac that a Mac user without any real knowledge of unix (such as myself) can follow easily. (There are a number of people scattered around the world who help me in producing various publications; and since they too are not unix savvy, I need such instructions if we are to keep our installations functioning and up to date.) Once the ConTeXt minimals are installed in the Applications folder and the user can run \starttext Hello world! \stoptext which is where the wiki (Installationsection 1.2) currently leaves off, there still remain a few tasks. Specifically, (a) getting this ConTeXt installation to recognize a personal texmf directory (b) running the various binaries (e.g., texmfstart, ctxtools) in / Applications/ConTeXtMinimals from Terminal (c) establishing synchronization between PDF output and its ConTeXt source. Currently, it does not seem to work (with TeXShop at least) Note, in the latest TeXShop there is Added support for SyncTeX. SyncTeX is new synchronization technology by Jerome Laurens which is included in TeX Live 2008 (but not earlier TeX distributions). The technology is built directly into pdfTeX and XeTeX. In modern TeX distributions, most typesetting actually calls pdfetex (even if using latex to output a dvi file), and thus the technology is available for such typesetting. To use the technology, add the flag --synctex=1 Any advice on how to do (a), (b), and (c) will be much appreciated.

[NTG-context] Help with ConTeXt Minimals and ppchtex
Hello, I've got a problem with the chemic-module and ConTeXt Minimals. My OS is Ubuntu 7.10, I installed the Minimals as it is described in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals under Quick Start. I got the error that is listed here: http://nopaste.ch/061d2c39cdda41c.html The user mohbana from the IRC directed me to the mailing-list, he already told me to rehash and do luatools --generate texmfstart texexec --make --all --luatex en texmfstart texexec --make --all --pdftex en texmfstart texexec --make --all --xetex en but nothing helped. I would be glad if you could help me, yours, Philipp. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Hello,
I can confirm that this file fails with MKIV, but works fine with MKII. It
seems that supp-mps is not loaded under MKIV.
does there exist a workaround for mkiv? I tried
\usemodule[chemic]
\input supp-mps
\starttext
\startchemical
\chemical[SIX,B1..6,R1..6,RZ1..3][CH_3,CH_3,OH]
\stopchemical
\stoptext
but then I get
! Undefined control sequence.

[NTG-context] Background color of sometxt ignored
Hi,
In 2008.08.18 14:00 MKIV the background color of sometxt is ignored. I
used to use this trick to unfill the background while drawing a label, but
it no longer works (It used to work a month ago).
Bug or feature?
\unprotected\definetextext[parbox]
{\framed
[ frame=off,
width=2cm,
height=.85cm,
autowidth=no,
align={middle,middle},
background=color,
backgroundcolor=white]}
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw (0,0) -- (3cm,3cm) ;
label(\sometxt[parbox]{ABC}, (1.5cm,1.5cm)) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Aditya

It works if I add

For the time being add this after loading chemic.
