There should be a line like

MTXrun | context services: http://localhost:31415/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua

in the terminal, you can copy the link and use it in your browser to run 
texshow.

Hmm. But isn't it wrong to reset a counter who doesn't even exist 
with chapter start? Why not do the same check with setnumber?

I tried to use this command under windows 2000 scite (console).
The process does not do anything obvious. I have killed it after some 
time.

Can I download 'texshow.pl' somewhere?

Re: [NTG-context] bibliography authoryears problem

2009-12-03 Thread Michael Green
I should have mentioned that there's a similar problem with  
refcommand=authoryear (my previous post concerned  
refcommand=authoryears).


Using Mk IV, the first citation is preceded with a new line. Mk II  
behaves appropriately. And all citations other than the first one are  
formatted correctly by Mk IV.


This is quite similar to the problem I reported with  
refcommand=authoryears. In both cases, only the first citation is  
wrong and the error in both cases involves a line break. Perhaps they  
have a related cause. Happy hunting!

When using refcommand=authoryears and Mk IV the first reference is

There is the left parenthesis, then a line break, then the rest of the

With MkII it comes out correctly. And in MkIV, every reference except 
the first is correct.


This is similar to a problem reported in another thread, but I don't see 
how the resolution proposed there applies here.

Hi Mojca,

Unlikely.

I just wanted to say that texexec.exe itself is also working (if I
copy Taco's mtxrun.exe to texexec.exe).



Yes, I forgot to mention that I copied all files to the Desktop (including
the tfm and the typescript) and got the same error with texexec.bat.


If you copied all the files to desktop (including map and enc files
and removing the directory structure) and tried to compile a tex file
on desktop ...it could be that there's something wrong with either
files or ConTeXt, not necessary with wrong tree structure.

I highly suspect a problem with same map file (missing, failed to load
or corrupted). The tfm file itself is not enough. You also need to
load a map file that has the line with that font included (unless it's
a mf fonts).


Also I last had Context working on this PC in May, and the file compiled
fine. However, I removed MikTeX 2.7 shortly after that (which was broken)
and have been unable to use Context since. Not a problem, as I have a
working setup on my Mac, but there is very little reason to upgrade the Mac,
as everything I need currently works.

NO-BREAK SPACE chars are already there? »


why not just try it

currently only intermediate kerns, glue and spacing characters are 
considered



More over, since I have just forgotten my « Lexique des règles
typographiques en usage à l'imprimerie nationale »at work, I have to
wait the morrow to confirm the fact that some use of U+202F NARROW
NO-BREAK SPACE are necessary. Same question as the previous one applies
when NNBSP are already there…


it depends to what extend you want context to clean up and optimize 
spacing; it can be that 202F is there for other purposes (and maybe not 
even consistently used as it is kind of invisible); so it should 
probababluy configurable (we have already some modes)



And the last question of the day ;) : … expends to . . . with
french. Could that be easily corrected?


probably, but first i want proper specs on which most french users agree 
(so i do an extra cc to arthur who is sort of in charge of the french 
tex users)



(This flow of question comes from my recent experiments of the advanced
capabilities of bépo fr keyboard plus .XCompose usage).

Re: [NTG-context] About \version[temporary]

Hi all,

I have a question which can be elementary, but nevertheless it has some 
importance…
When using cross references, one can somehow « visualize » the list of the 
cross references on each page with the command
\version[temporary]

However, in mkii at least, the list of the references is placed at the top of 
the page in the right margin and this is not very convenient when proof 
reading, especially in mathematical articles. It would be more handy to have 
each reference in the left (or right) margin of the line where it is defined or 
where it is invoked with the command « \in ». However I didn't manage to 
understand how this behaviour can be changed (various attempts with 
\setuplist[references] had no effect).
(By the way, in mkiv, the list is not shown).


currently they're just collected in inserts


Can anyone give an insight?


there will be a tracing mechanism in mkiv

It's true of course.
anyway  have you seen
http://people.mozilla.com/~jkew/woff/woff-spec-latest.html
http://people.mozilla.com/~jkew/woff/
?

I was at guit meeting this year, and  Kaveh too, and I have seen his
device with TeX.
It's really cool: it's not a simple dvi reader, it's a TeX
implementation+dvi reader
so one can exchange tex snippets with similar devices
Next release will use xetex.

I have some experience to port pdf in similar
devices too (it was 3years ago, too much time ago, really)
and in the end I'm convinced that (x)html is still the first choice.

With mkiv you can typeset xml files as pdf,
so you can also (using modes) convert it to xhtml (we have lua now).
Writing a css is not a problem, and you can also manage fonts -- after all

You're putting the cart before the horse.

Sadly, epub is rather lacking in markup capabilities.

Instead, one should use a full-fledged markup scheme such as TEI, then  
one can convert that using an XSLT and add a nicely designed CSS to  
create a .epub which will be as good as it gets, but unfortunately,  
won't be as nice to read as a nicely formatted .pdf due to limitations  
of the H&J capabilities of .epub viewing programs.


An excellent example of the limitations of the .epub format in  
comparison to .pdf is _Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy_:

[NTG-context] windows binaries

Mojca Miklavec wrote:


I just wanted to say that texexec.exe itself is also working (if I
copy Taco's mtxrun.exe to texexec.exe).


I figured out what the problem is ... when i make the zip, i zip a 
temporary tree. I do that using the -ll switch because when i started 
distributing the zips it was a demand that line ending should be nice 
for unix (windows can handle cr and lr, and we probably had no mac os-9 
users).


However, in a second zip pass, i add the binary files and dll/exe were 
never part of that. As a result, two bytes got messed up and these made 
the exe file invalid. So the problem is not related to xp or vista or 64 
bit (which was somewhat puzzling for me as windows binaries are normally 
quite portable).


I uploaded a new beta and installing seemd to work ok on xp and vista 
(virtual machines).


The fact that it worked on taco and my machine is that we send binaries 
to each other. Als, the zip on taco's site was okay.
