Re: [NTG-context] \infull not working
Thanks Hans for your very prompt reply.
I placed
\overloadmode\plusfour
at the beginning of the file
The example now compiles.
However the command \infull{Ch} now results in CH in small capitals.
Is there something I have misunderstood?
Thanks
Nigel

fixed in next upload ... but ... on my machine, where I run with
\overloadmode\plusfour % error, \plusthree is warning only
i then will get:
csname overload > fatal error, protection level 4, control sequence 'infull',

because \infull is already used by the predefine abbreviations instance
no problem if you don't use that feature

[NTG-context] LuaTex on Windows PCs
Hi All, I have been using ConTeXt on Macs for >20 years. Having written a particular piece of code for others to operate who have PCs, I am now stuck. I upgraded to LuaTeX some time ago as recommended on this list. IT do not seem to be able to install a working version of LuaTeX on PCs. I have directed them to ConTeXt Garden but they have had no luck. Do any of you have guaranteed pointers to a simple installation on PCs? Simple editing and creating (from ConTeXt) the PDFs is all that is required.

Re: [NTG-context] getting metafun positions within (displayed) math mode
Wow. I learnt about Maxwell's Equation 48 years ago. I never understood it then
nor on the intervening time despite sometimes helping design antennas. The
picture and its annotation definitely helps creating clarity. For my twopenneth
the effort is very worthwhile.

[NTG-context] bug in TABLE when there is a complex head
Hi Developers,
Enclosed is a piece of code that demonstrates a bug in the NaturalTable
environment when using a complex head in a multipage case. If you run the
following code you will notice that not only does the head get repeated but
also the first row of the body of the table. The cause appears to be [nr=2] in
the head.
I am using
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009) (format=cont-en
2010.4.14) 6 DEC 2010 08:32
I do apologise if this is fixed in a later version. Thanks for a great program.

[NTG-context] \in{hyperref}[tableref] at first char of line causes misplaced paragraph
Hi,
This has bugged me for a number of years and I have only just realised
the exact cause. Previous requests to solve table and figure spacing
problems are all due to this I think. Basically the hyperreference in
the first character of a paragraph mangles the paragraph formatting.
Below is a minimum (I think) file which demonstrates the problem very
clearly.
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\starttext
\input tufte
\startbuffer[]
\bTABLE[width=2.5in]
\bTR \bTD \input tufte \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopbuffer
\placetable
[right]
[tab:1]
{A Table}
{\getbuffer[]}
\input tufte
\in{Table}[tab:1] this paragraph does not format correctly because the
hypereference is at the first character of the paragraph. Note that the
spacing (before) is incorrect as well as the width.
T\in{able}[tab:1] this paragraph does format correctly because the
hypereference is not using the first character of the paragraph.

Re: [NTG-context] Strange MP problem
I put in my ordinary mp files:-
---
input metafun ;
verbatimtex
..any required preliminary ConTeXt statements \setupbodyfont etc.
\starttext
etex
.. normal metapost
verbatimtex
\stoptext
etex
end
---
The assembly script needs a line like
export TEX=texexec
in it
Then the remnants of latex are removed and the btex .. etex bits are
typeset using ConTeXt.
I hope this helps

[NTG-context] linecorrection and paragraph spacing
Some time ago Hans recommended the use of \startlinecorrection...\stoplinecorrection surrounding a figure. Typically I write a paragraph and then have a double carriagereturn and then a floating figure and then a double carriagereturn. The normal paragraph space does not always appear so I surround the figure by linecorrection and then find that the paragraph spacing is slightly larger than usual. Are there any rules for this. If necessary I will try to produce a minimal example although I tend to notice the problem once a document has become fairly long.

On linux, runperl/runruby are used for that, on windows there was runperl.exe which is now irun.exe. Those scripts/apps work ok under most circumstances but not all (especially not when one has multiple trees and multiple instances of the tools). So ... a few weeks ago I made a small tool: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texmfstart.rb : for those who have ruby in their path http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texmfstart.exe : for those who don't have ruby installed and are on windows http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mtexmfstart.pdf : for those who are interested This tool permits things like (on windows): texmfstart --browser examplap.pdf but also calls like: texmfstart texexec.pl optional arguments and alike. Several search strategies are applied (see manual). The few of you who have seen the integrated context environment (around scite) already may have used this tool indirectly. I didn't yet test this new gimmick on linux but will do that asap. The next thing that will be posted is 'texsync' which will synchronize your local minimal tex and/or context tree (or part of it, or (part) of the documentation) with the current distribution.

Subject: [NTG-context] Synchronization (.tex - .pdf)
Hi,
I don't now how many ConTeXt user are aware of the idea of synchronization. In
the LaTeX area of TeX it has a kind of tradition (Textures, srcltx, ...) for
dvi output.
For PDF output Jérôme Laurens has now written a package (for use with iTeXMac
and TeXShop) that makes the advantages from source-output synchronization also
available for the todays standard PDF. But as so many things in the TeX world
it is written as a plug-in for LaTeX.
Does anybody has an idea how to use this great achievement also with ConTeXt?
For those who would like to have a look at Jérôme's great work, I insert his
code at the end of this email.
Thank you very much,

Re: [NTG-context] Re: texfont and type-tmf.dat
Why do you whish to reinstall all the supplied fonts? Or do you just want to learn how to use texfont? I simply wish to use the fonts as most others do (I think) and I am unable to because of this bug. The normal context fonts do not exist on Gerben's version. Before Gerben's reorganisation they were made by texfont, this now does not work because of what I believe to be a simple (I do not understand Perl otherwise I would have a go at fixing it) bug in texfont. Maybe I am wrong but I am beginning to find this extremely frustrating (7 months). Once I realised that somebody was working on texfont 1.8 I had hoped for a fix. If no developer/Perl expert has Gerbens version of tetex perhaps I could help debug if a version was supplied to me that printed out the full path that texfont was looking for files in. The --fontroot option or kpsewhich lookup appears to be at fault but I have no debugging facilities. Any suggestions (other than giving up) gratefully received. TIA -- Nigel ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Re: texfont and type-tmf.dat
All, I hadn't expected to create such a confusion so I will try to restate my problem. On MacOSX Gerben has provided a restructured version of tetex where the locations of some files have changed. I am not sure of the detailed reasons for this but it certainly much easier to keep up to date. For instance he even provides an updater for ConTeXt to beta or standard using a single click (I only just found that! Thanks Gerben). Now the line texfont --en=8r --ve=urw --co=courier --so=auto Should work but instead gives TeXFont 1.8 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2003 processing aborted : unknown subpath ../fonts/afm/urw/courier The subpath exists but maybe at a different root /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/afm/urw/courier thus I presume that --fontroot should be invoked especially since the help gives me --fontroot=path : texmf font root (default: /usr/local/tetex/share/texmf.local) So I try texfont --en=8r --ve=urw --co=courier --so=auto --fontroot=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/ on one line of course processing aborted : unknown subpath ../fonts/afm/urw/courier is the result. The apparent error is that the --fontroot option doesn't work. Hopefully that is all I wanted fixed. Texfont has been upgraded with many new options but this 'bug' remains.

Re: [NTG-context] texfont and type-tmf.dat
Dear Gerben or Hans, I have been away on holiday. So I have lost the result of this thread. Have you or Hans solved this problem. If so, do I need to upgrade i-tetex or ConTeXt or both. I would really like to solve this problem and get back to standard ConTeXt fonts. TIA From: Hans Hagen [EMAIL PROTECTED] At 00:05 07/08/2003 +0200, Gerben Wierda wrote: Yes, this could be. If texexec or any ConTeXt tool does not use texmf.cnf values but has hardcoded ideas about where to find stuff (texmf), then the rearranging of the texmf directories could have an influence. Hans can probably say if this is possibly the case. After all, the rearranging had no ill effects whatsoever on TeX or LaTeX, because where files are is governed by texmf.cnf and that was adapted as well to reflect the changed situation. If there is hardcoded stuff in texexec that is playing a role (I am guessing here), making it dynamic by calls to kpsewhich is a good solution. For the rest, the content of texmf.tetex is created by Thomas Esser, not me. And there you will find not a complete set of URW but an Adobe set and thatis what the discussion is also about. hans is right in stating that. context can happily work in the texmf tree and does depemnd on its own trees; with regards to texfont: - it will install in either texmf-fonts or texmf-local, depending on what is present; the reason for having texmf-fonts is that we need a place for commercial fonts (and texmf-local is for my updates, local stuff etc) - texfonts uses prefixed names (texnansi-* and alike) for several reasons: (1) when i buy a font, i wan tto copy the fonts to some temp path, call texfont, and have the job done; i don't want to mess around with 8 char names that may conflict is i do something wrong; - another reason for texfonts naming sheme of 'third party fonts' is that when one starts slanting fonts (and alike) the kb naming sheme does not keep track of what slant is used, which in principle will lead to conflicts if one has multiple instances (wherever they may come from) - for the same reason i keep separate map files for those third part collections - with regards to the fonts on tex live the confusion comes from the mix of adobe names and urw type ones. So far whatever i made default, failed on someones system, which is why we have now type-akb for the mixed users - also: context font mechanism is set up in a way that makes it possible to combine fonts with minimal calls (once understood -), supporting relative scaling and alike; i don't want user sto be dependent on one (few) persons to define / install / use fonts. If that is the case, texfont is a problem because it hard codes locations where texmf.cnf is the source for locations and kpsewhich is the way to find out about them. afaik it uses kpsewhich an-r env vars and one can set things on the command line as well; there is not so much hard coded in there -) Hans -- Nigel ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

\pagina seems to be synonymous with \page at least \page appears to have the
same effect. I was hoping for [after={\page[bigpreference]}] but that does
not appear to work. [after={\page[yes]}] does the same as \page. It seems to
be just that the preference does not do anything.
I was also hoping for [split=repeat] but that stops [after=\pagina] from
doing anything.

Re: [NTG-context] texfont and type-tmf.dat
Hi, I am posting this message I posted to the 'OS X TeX' group earlier this year relating to the same issue that Mathew is raising. I had no luck then but am hoping for more success now there are two of us. Hans says 'this is under discussion now with thomas/staszek/etc: has to do with urw metrics not being in tetex by default (they are on tex live)' However, Gerben's i-Installer installs them here in a different location than normal. (I think these are the only pair of files that are necessary for utmb8a to work.) /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/afm/urw/times/utmb8a.afm /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmb8a.pfb I believe that the problem is merely with texroot as I state below. Further evidence for this is that it nearly all worked before Gerben rearranged the directories. Earlier message... Hi, Some of my previous font problems here were due to not enabling all of the font map file in the final configuration of the install. I think someone else had the same problem. Adobekb.tex is now helping me well, however I am finding it necessary still to run with the Context font system for some documents for the moment, and for this texfont has to run to create the various font files. Running the single command texfont --en=8r --ve=urw --co=courier --so=auto Should work but returns processing aborted : unknown tex root /sw/share/texmf/ Clearly texroot is set incorrectly so forcing that texfont --en=8r --ve=urw --co=courier --so=auto --fontroot=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/ Should work but returns processing aborted : unknown subpath ../fonts/afm/urw/courier And yet /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/afm/urw/courier/ucrb8a.afm Exists This process worked in the v2 version of the i-installer indeed still works when reinstalled. I am presuming that the new problem is because of the texmf.tetex that the texfont perl script is now not able to understand. Perl is beyond my small brain!

Re: [NTG-context] \setuparranging 3SIDE
Willi, I had a go at this and found two things that I do not understand; \setuplayout[page] [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm] Did not adjust anything until the [page] was removed and then the incorporated page seems to adjust appropriately. I do not understand the significance of [page] in this sommand. Also, \setuppapersize [XY][A4] You have changed this to \setuppapersize [XY][A4,landscape] This does not appear to work properly? Possibly a bug? -- Nigel ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] \setMPtext value
this is because context keeps your text confidential -)
\expanded{\setMPtext{...}{\getvalue{...}}}
will give you a for-your-eyes only copy

Confidentially it works like a dream
Thanks
