Re: Re[6]: [NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hi, If you could please provide some example file showing the problems, I'll see if I can nail them down. the problem with delimiter autosizing seems to be caused by MPenvironment; however, the problem with subscripts still seems very strange to me (since superscripts work as expected). I've included a test file and the PDF generated by my TeX installation.

The latest nath (submitted to CTAN, you can retrieve it from there) works correctly on my MiKTeX installation, both inline and displayed obey the structure. Please try updating nath. If it still doesn't work: do you have the same ConTeXt version on the two system? -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta Thank you very much, yes, the new version does work. Giuseppe, please note: I waited a few days to make sure CTAN was up to date. When I first looked for the file, there were different versions on different mirrors.

Hi,
Nath is a very complex module, easily broken. If you can
privately send me your preamble we might be able to find what
was breaking it. Or you can try it yourself: move it up line by
line until delimiters don't work anymore: you'll find what
makes it bomb :)

Maybe I produced some garbage inbetween. :-) Nath is a very complex module, easily broken. If you can privately send me your preamble we might be able to find what was breaking it.

Thank you very much, I'll try that. If it doesn't work, I can still get along without units, though it would have been nice to have that too. BTW, is there some kind of manual on aligning nath equations? I tried to align multiline equations using \startalign, but that only worked (in display mode) as long as no delimiters were used; \[ \startalign a = (b \\ b = c) \stopalign \] always produced an error message saying that I had left out an }. I probably made some mistake, so a tutorial on aligning equations with nath would be great. The nathguide.pdf mentions eqnarray, but I guess that's not available in ConTeXt, or is it? Not yet.

OK, I'll try that. At the moment I'm having all kinds of issues with
nath (even without any preamble at all), like \binom{\frac 12}{a} not
working, \to, \ot and \otto arrows not adjusting to the lengths of
their subscripts, etc... and I can hardly imagine that all of these are
nath bugs, so maybe something's wrong with my TeX installation. I'm
using the latest i-Installer teTeX for MacOS X package (with non-beta
ConTeXt version), configuration files unchanged.
So if someone else is using nath with Gerben Wieda's teTeX
installation, it would be helpful to know if he/she is experiencing
similar problems.
Anyway, the nath module looks very promising; I'm really looking
forward to its next revision!

Sebastian

Hi, the delimiter sizing is working now; i had to load the module directly before \starttext. However, the units module still isn't working when nath is loaded. Is it supposed to? Best regards, Sebastian ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Yes, this is generally true. All modules should get loaded
before \starttext.

loaded. Is it supposed to?
Well, I had never tested them together, and given the very
extensive changes nath enacts, I'm not surprised it doesn't
work.
Anyway, it looks like the fix is easy: the problem is that
dimension commands are not protected (unexpandable).
In m-units.tex, look for the lines
\def\dimensionprefix#1%
{\gdef\thedimensionprefix{#1}}
\def\dimensionaddfix#1%
{\unskip
%\mathematics{\umathematicstypeface#1}%
\ustartmathmode\umathematicstypeface#1\ustopmathmode
\nobreak
\hskip\dimensionaddfixsignal}
\def\dimensionnopfix#1%
{\dontbreakdimension
\ifdim\scratchdimen=\dimensionpowersignal\relax
\ustartmathmode
\else
\ustartmathmode
\udimensionhalfspace
\nobreak
\fi
\umathematicstypeface#1%
\ustopmathmode
\nobreak
\hskip\dimensionsignal}
\def\dimensionmidfix#1%
{\dontbreakdimension
\ifdim\scratchdimen=\dimensionpowersignal\relax
\ustartmathmode
\udimensionbackspace
\nobreak
\else
\ustartmathmode
\fi
\umathematicstypeface#1%
\ustopmathmode
\nobreak
\hskip\dimensionmidfixsignal}
\def\dimensionpower#1%
{\gdef\thedimensionpower{#1}}
and change each
\def\dimension...
into
\unexpanded\def\dimension
This should solve the problem.
I'm not 100% sure this is the best solution, though. An
alternative could be to keep those definition as they are and
instead make unexpandable the actual commands (\Micro etc).
Hans, what do you think?

[NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hello all,
is there a list of know nath bugs somewhere on the web? I tried to find
one using Google, but unfortunately without success.
The reason I'm asking this is that I'm encountering some problems with
the module and would like to know if they are common or if it's related
to my configuration. First of all, using the units module together with
nath doesn't seem to work - for instance, $1\Micro\Coulomb$ works as
expected without nath, but produces the error message Please don't say
\def cs{...}, say \def\cs{...} when used together with nath. I also
thought that delimiters like ( or [ should automatically adjust to the
formula they contain, but (\sum_{something}
\frac{something}{something}) only produces standard parentheses.
Commands like \lbrace or \lbrack work as expected, though.
If these problems are unknown, I can post a small example file and my
logfile.
Best regards,
Sebastian
