[NTG-context] No file 'mpx314.aux'
I have written a Venn diagram metapost file, which I successfully ran on Troy
Henderson's metapost previewer while at work.
prologues:=3;
verbatimtex
%latex
\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
etex
beginfig(1);
draw (0,0)--(200,0)--(200,160)--(0,160)--(0,0);
draw fullcircle scaled 80 shifted (80,80);
draw fullcircle scaled 80 shifted (120,80);
label.lrt (btex $\xi$ etex,(0,160));
label.lrt (btex $A$ etex, (40, 120));
label.llft (btex $B$ etex,(160,120));
endfig;
end;
However, now that I am working on it at home, the error message no file
'mpx314.aux' appears when I try to compile it. I have tried it on my older
system (Miktex 2.6 running on Vista) and on my laptop (Miktex 2.8 running on
Vista Home Premium). Actually, on the laptop I also get a popup telling me
that dvitomp.exe has stopped working and directing me to the Windows update
page. Am I doing something silly, or is this a bug, or what? Thanks kindly.

Hello,
How to make an accent over a letter in a word?
It might help to know what letters exactly you have in mind.
I use Times New Roman and Cyrillic letters.
If there is no suitable letter in Unicode you may:
- try to use Unicode accent combining characters and complain if it doesn't work
- this used to work not so long ago (well, during BachoTeX Hans has
fixed it), but the second example behaves weird again:
\buildtextaccent\textcircumflex{y}
\buildtextaccent\textcircumflex{\schwa}
so try with your letters and report if you stumble into problems problems.

Re: [NTG-context] Define exercise captions
Hello,
I need to define a Exercise command that will enumerate exercises and provide
captions.
For example,
\exercise{Conversion from hex to dec}
should produce
Exercise 1.1. Conversion from hex to dec.
What is the best way to achieve that? Use \definehead or another command?
\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes,way=bysection]
Thank you Aditya, but the result is rather shoking )
Please, try
\starttext
\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, way=bysection,
width=broad]
\exercise{Розрахунок кривої, яка з'єднує три точки на площині}
\stoptext
The Вправа is putted twice, next time inside some strange brackets.
The text gets out of the page.
How to setup so that numeration will be done by subsection (1.1, 1.2, etc.)?

1. you can do
\def\myacute#1{\buildtextaccent\textacute{#1}}
Апроксим{\myacute а}ція
2. of course you can also define an ugly shortcut:
\catcode`'=\active
\let\'=\myacute
Апроксим\'ація
3. though in reality I would be most grateful if
\'а
would work out of the box (at least it mkiv) and generate accent over
whatever letter comes next. If glyph doesn't exist, it could just
place one over a.

Before asking, I tried (3) option, but failed. Why it doesn't work? This is
the classic way.
Not sure, but if that letter exists in unicode and not in your font
... that might be the most probably cause. If not, read further.
In mkii it has never worked since Hans reimplemented the mechanism (it
was different from Knuth's) to enable choosing the right glyph - if
font encoding has some glyph, it comes from the font, else it gets
composed from accent and letter.
Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I remember you only get those
characters that indeed exist in Unicode and the whole set of allowed
combinations is defined somewhere in source (see enco-def.mkii). I
don't know what exactly needs to be done in mkiv.
In mkii it will never get changed; I don't remember too many
complaints, but the truth is that (all) the characters that people
need are usually covered. If any were missing, they were added to the
list.
4.) I indeed forgot the fourth option: you can also build a slightly
larger file with all letter-accent combinations that you possibly
need.
I would assume that mkiv just builds all the accent combinations (to
support \v c constructs) from Unicode specification. If you need
some special character with a special accent like those definitions in
enco-def.mkii ... then you need to ask someone else for mkiv since I
stayed behind of a time for quite a giant leap.
(Hans, why cannot I put any accent on \schwa any more?)

Hello,
I need to define a Exercise command that will enumerate exercises and

For example,

What is the best way to achieve that? Use \definehead or another
command?
\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes,way=bysection]
Thank you Aditya, but the result is rather shoking )
Please, try
\starttext
\defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, way=bysection,
width=broad]
\exercise{Розрахунок кривої, яка з'єднує три точки на площині}
\stoptext
The Вправа is putted twice, next time inside some strange brackets.
The text gets out of the page.
Looks like a bug in mkiv. Hans, text need to be handled differently in

How to setup so that numeration will be done by subsection (1.1, 1.2, etc.)?

[NTG-context] IncludePicture problem with adityam / simple-slides

\IncludePicture

I get the errors like ! Missing number, treated as zero and !
Missing = inserted for \ifnum (see below).
I'm using MacTex-2008 distribution. I've also tried the current

No. This is probably due to some recent change in ConTeXt. I pushed a fix
to github. See if the new version works for you.

Thomas, we would need to update a new version to contextgarden. This bug
will affect all new versions of mkii.
The bug was because I was misusing moduleparameter where I should have
used variables instead. Something must have changed in MkII recently. The
behaviour does not occur in MkIV so I never noticed it. In any case, this
was long overdue and would make Wolfgang happy :)

[NTG-context] mkiv: missing \colon, \colonequals is just an equality sign

sorry if i wasn't clear enough with what i intended to put across.
in the bibliography entry below, the title of the book is not italicized.
by default, the apa style will italicize this instead.
Form the many \/ commands in the second arguments to the \inserttitle

why it was then removed again. As a result, I am not immediately eager
to change the core distro.
For you: find the \inserttitle (or \insertarttitle) commands in

Thanks for the speedy fix, Aditya - that works now.
Thanks also for putting together the simple-slides module - very nice
to use!
By the way, in simpleslides-s-Split.tex, we found we had to remove the
\noexpand command from three lines like this one:
draw \sometxt[simpleslides:sometxt:left]{\noexpand\moduleparameter
{simpleslides:title}{date}}
With the \noexpand command left in, most of the header and footer
