[NTG-context] fighting with footnotes
Dear posse,
I am having trouble with footnotes. For an article, I want some footnotes to
be symbolized by \ast, \dag, etc, but without affecting the numbering of
regular footnotes. For example, the title of article may have a footnote
symbolized by \ast, but the first footnote in the main text should still be
symbolized by `1' (then `2', etc). I tried localfootnotes but I could not get
them placed in the footer at the bottom of the page. [location=page] did not
help.
Related question: can't I just specify a footnote outside the counting
mechanism with any symbol I want at any point in the text, without disturbing
the regular counted footnotes?
I'm also confused by the conversion key. page 93 of the documentation reads:
"With the variable conversion you set up the type of numbering. You may even
use your own character, for example an emdash (keyed in as ---)."
But if I do, e.g., conversion={---}, TeX complains of course. What am I
missing?
Related questions:
Where are the conversion keys set 2, set 3, etc. documented?
How can I reset the numbering if I make local changes? For example, I am using
regular default footnotes, then I switch to conversion=set 2, then I want to
reset to the default footnotes without losing my numbering. I thought that
[n=0] etc. might help but that key seems to affect the paragraph formatting of
the footnotes, not the numbering. I tried using \start-\stop but that does not
isolate the counting mechanism apparently.
Fighting TeX is really frustrating sometimes, and I'm sure the answers are
really simple...

Again, the document is globally left-to-right, but for right-to-left documents
I want the footnote markers in the right margin, and the rule flush right as
well. The relative local eomega direction commands are
\textdir TLT (LR text)
\pardir TLT (LR paragraphs)
\textdir TRT (RL text)
\pardir TRT (RL paragraphs)
though they are not really needed to create parameter options that give me
what I want. I played around with some of the macros in core-not.tex but that
stuff is way over my ahead and I could not make any progress:-(
NOTE: in the second set of RL footnotes, note that the footnote markers get
pushed into the textblock. In the third set of RL fotnotes, we get Arabic
markers using
\setupfootnotes[numbercommand={\switchtobodyfont[omarab]}]
but then we lose the default
\setupfootnotes[numbercommand=\high]
and the Arabic-script numerals are again pushed into the textblock.
I look forward to your suggestions

[NTG-context] more footnotes:-)
Dear partners in crime, I have come across a situation where, in a left-to-right document, I need to make the footnotes operate right to left: that is, the footnote numeral and rule should be on the right side of the page. Now when using the global direction changes that eomega/Gamma offers, this is trivial for a global right-to-left document (\pagedir TRT and \bodydir TRT are the global settings), but in a globally left-to-right document I have not been able to get this to work locally. To explain: \textdir TRT and \pardir TRT locally switch the text and paragraph directions respectively, but not the footnote markers and rule. This is correct behavior of course. But I have an article that includes a long right-to-left extract with footnotes, and those footnotes need to be RL in the sense described above (numeral + rule). Is there any way to add a parameter option to \setupfoonotes which, between---say, a \start-\stop---that can locally switch the location of the numeral and marker to RL? Please help: I'm supposed to send this thing to the printer next week:-)) Best Idris PS \pagedir TRT and \bodydir TRT don't seem to help this proble when applied in a local context. ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

RE: [NTG-context] Re: new stuff for brave users
Hi Patrick, One suggestion for TeXshow-web:-) The commands are all listed in alphabetical order, which is great. But one good help would be an option ordering them by topic. For example, a while back I needed a rotation command, and the manual does not discuss many of the graphics capabilities of ConTeXt. I finally found \rotate combing through the base files (it's not in cont-eni.pdf). It would be very useful to know all such graphics commands in ConTeXt. The organization of the Reference Manual of Lamport's book on LaTeX, or even the end-of-chapter command summaries of cont-eni.pdf, is a good model for this. So if I am looking for a graphics command I can look purely alphabetically as it is now, as well as topically, which is sometimes more useful. A related point; in ConTeXt the bar <|> is an active character, which is not Plain behavior. A list of these little special characters would be useful as well, especially for macro writers, etc. In any case, this list of commands is a great contribution, and a topical organization would make it greater:=) All the best Idris ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Ok, I followed the above. Now I have two trees, c:\TeXLive and c:\ConTeXt Issues: 1. I ``initialized'' the \ConTeXt tree and ran texexec --make but no aleph format, so a batch file is called: cd C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c aleph --ini *plain \dump texexec --make en -tex=aleph aleph --ini *cont-en but... C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c>aleph --ini *plain \dump ! aleph.pool doesn't match; otangle me again (or fix the path). How do I get aleph working? 2. How do I get my OS to recognize/prioritize the C:\ConTeXt tree (when I call texexec from my editor it still calls from c:\TeXLive)? Do I have to uninstall ConTeXt from my c:\TeXLive path? What is the cleanest way to do that? 3. I presume that \ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf is the one texexec --make uses. Have you already optimized/tested \ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf for aleph (there were a few issues as you may recall...)?

Configuring 2 trees [was RE: [NTG-context] Times New Roman]
Dear cartel, >= Original Message From "Thomas A.Schmitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> = What does > >kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL >produce? 1.I have 2 trees: C:\Context (from mswintex.zip) and C:\TeXLive (from July04). kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL works for the \Context tree: >C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin\kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL c:/ConTeXt/texmf-local >C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin\kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFMAIN c:/ConTeXt/texmf 2. What I would like: how do I properly modify texmf.cnf (presumably C:\ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf is the main one) so that a. C:\ConTeXt is given priority over C:\TeXLive; b. C:\TeXLive\texmf-var\web2c formats are searched after C:\ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c c. C:\ConTeXt utilities like TeXFont install files to C:\ConTeXt\texmf-local\ instead of to C:\TeXLive\texmf-local (for some reason the C:\ConTeXt tree does recognize C:\TeXLive\texmf-local by default) Of course, I may be missing the big picture here, in which case please enlighten me! Part of my problem is that 1. apparently I can make both pdfetex and aleph formats in the TeXLive tree (efmt and fmt respectively), but only one of them in the ConTeXt tree (both are dumped as cont-en.fmt) 2. I can't just dump cont-tmf.zip into TeXLive\texmf-var, because some utilities (like texfont.exe) do not get updated or replaced. So I would have to manually delete e.g., texfont.exe and replace it with the new texfont.bat, making a mess of my TeXLive system. I really wish that updating/upgrading were not always such a pain...

[NTG-context] automating initialization
Dear gang, How do I automate initialization of the separate context tree (from mswintex.zip)? A simple batch file such as setuptex c:\context texexec foo does not work; the batch file always turns itself off before texexec can be invoked. Can I make the initialization global so that all batch files (such as those called by WinEDT) will work properly? I added c:\context to the path but that is not enough. BTW: Can initialization be turned off as well?

Rather, its almost certainly a macro thing, because I've had to
redefine/create some accents for transliteration, etc. See below. Anyway,
these accents work fine outside of the \startpublication[a= ] option.

sane accents [was RE: [NTG-context] m-bib issues]
Dear fellow conspirators,
Is there a saner way to define the following accent using ConTeXt's framework:
\def\SHIFT#1{\dimen0=.00#1ex \multiply\dimen0 by\fontdimen1\font
\kern-.0156\dimen0} % compensate for slant/italic in lower accents
\def\h#1{{\oalign{\relax#1\crcr\hidewidth\SHIFT{34}%
\vbox to.2ex{\hbox{\char'25}\vss}\hidewidth}}}
\def\~#1{{\struttedbox{\accent"7E #1}}}
In my own work, the tilda is used over (upper and lower case) `h', `t', and
`i', and the lower crescent is only used under (upper and lower case) `h'. lmr
does not have the latter case and I still have a couple of issues with lmr so
I'd like to maintain control over a few accents for now.
Best

[NTG-context] Typescript for Times New Toman and Arial
Dear consortium, Below is a working typescript for times new roman and arial (I'm told that on mac the equivalent of arial is helvetica, so this may be os-specific;-<) This combination is required by Springer-Verlag in many of their books. I have to typeset an article for a Springer volume (their editor could not handle my transliteration accents) that will fit in seamlessly with the editors' preparation of the rest of the volume. When I am done, I will gladly contribute the resulting style so that others who need to prepare something for Springer will have something to go on. Maybe this could even be developed into a full m-spring.tex module. Anyway, here is the times new roman/arial typescript. Please make suggestions/improvements.

[NTG-context] Available fonts
Dear crew, Is there a list of prepackaged fonts/typescripts that comes with (fp/MiK/gw/te)TeX/ConTeXt? I think it is important for that info to be made very public. showfonts.pdf has at least some of them (plus a couple of non-free ones) but I don't know if this is an exhaustive set. A new ConTeXt user (especially one from a non-TeX background) should be able to easily find a list of the fonts/typescripts available in a full (fp/MiK/gw/te)TeX/ConTeXt system.

[NTG-context] 5 major problems with mswincontext.zip
Dear conglomerate,
Ok, I've installed mswincontext.zip, dated 3-16, refreshed fndb,

4 Problems:
1. Zapf Chancery has disappeared (the other free fonts in showfonts.pdf still
work):

3. If I replace the pdfetex format with
aleph.fmt, the latter works. It copiles fine on the following file, but
neither dvips, odvips, or dvipdfm can find the fonts:
===

Also, aleph displays the strange "HASH" message:
===

Opt=HASH(0x1c44160)executable : aleph
===
4. That trick with the footnotes and endnotes is interesting, but the endnotes
still spill over the page (I double-checked that core-not was replaced and the
format regenerated):
===
% output=pdftex interface=en
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{test \footnote{test} \endnote{eee}\endgraf}

\stoptext
===
5. I'm still concerned about getting ConTeXt to search my old \TeXLive tree
secondarily. changing
C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf
does not seem to do anything (sigh )
==
I really hope I can get everything working soon, because I've lost about a
week's worth of deadlined writing fooling around with configuring ConTeXt
(which is exactly what I was afraid would happen):-(
Thnx in advance, and forgive my frustration-)

Ok, the new supp-dir.tex helps. But there is another problem. Now my following
macros are messed up (used in our private ar-cont.tex)
\let\beginRL=\leavevmode\startarabictext
\let\endRL=\stoparabictext

\catcode`\>=\active
\defineactivecharacter < {\enclosedarabic}
\def\enclosedarabic#1>{\struttedbox{\beginRL#1\endRL}}
Aleph complains that
(\end occurred inside a group at level 2)
### semi simple group (level 2) entered at line 102 (\begingroup)
### simple group (level 1) entered at line 102 ({)
### bottom level
Can you fix the XeTeX macros so that this is no longer affected? I also have
some otp's that use the \beginRL\endRL syntax; I'm afraid that's all going to
be negatively affected now...

Hi Fred, This is very interesting and, certainly, I'd like to join (though your email address in hidden in this particular posting->) Also consider merging this with the aleph list, because the aleph list was also intended to discuss most of the same issues, even multilingual TeX issues that do not pertain to aleph directly. I hope that the XeTeX people (Hi Adam!) will post their bidi developments to the aleph list as well, so we can all be in better sync in the future:-) The aleph list is low volume and can certainly easily handle the issues you mention without boring anyone;-) I'm also working on an advanced replacement to ArabTeX, scheduled for release later this year. I can send you some samples (just send me your email address) Eventually I'd like to see the aleph capabilities merged into pdfetex, which will make my ConTeXt life much easier (Hi Hans;->) We live pretty close to one another; I'd be happy to stay in touch, talk, or even meet sometime.

Dear folks, The dvips/dvipdfmx problem is not limited to aleph in the latest ConTeXt: ===test-3== \setupoutput[dvi] \starttext abc \stoptext === gives === $>dvipdfmx test3 test3.dvi -> test3.pdf [1** Fatal error: Could not locate a virtual or a physical font file for 'ec-lmr 12'. ** ERROR ** $>dvips test3 This is dvips(k) 5.94b Copyright 2004 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) dvips: ! Couldn't find header file tex.pro === I suppose that the transition to lmr is at the root of this. Anyway, I think my own problems have been reduced to the following 4: 1. supp-dir needs to be modified or made into an optional module (e.g. m-xetex) (so I don't have to modify it every time I update ConTeXt); 2. aleph needs to be taught;-) to look for its format in its own subdirectory (related: an aleph.ini should be included so that the plain aleph.fmt can be compiled. I also think the minimal context should support plain.fmt, which helps in testing etc. right now manfnt is missing); 3. dvips/dvipdfmx need to be taught how to find lmr (and perhaps other fonts? a complete font torture test before every release and for users to do their own testing is desperately needed I think. ); 4. In order to use Gamma, either i. the basic omega files (with aleph replacing omega.exe) should be included in mswincontext.zip; or ii. I need to know how to get the \ConTeXt tree to properly search the \TeXLive tree for the omega files (and for other fonts like cmr, etc). Strangely, I was able to get \TeXLive\...\texmf.cnf configured to read the \ConTeXt tree, but I was not able to get \ConTeXt\...\texmf.cnf to be able to read the \TeXLive tree. Any idea why? Many many thnx to Hans for all his hard work; I look forward to a reliable ConTeXt:-))) Best Idris Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Path searches (good news!)
Dear cartel,
I've been trying to control the search paths with
C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf, but I just realized that
setuptex.bat overrides texmf.cnf. The way I found out is interesting:
Upon running mktexlsr I get the line
mktexlsr: c:/CONTEXT/tex/texmf-project is not a directory. Skipping...
But in \texmf-local\web2c texmf.cnf has, not `texmf-project', but rather
`texmf-projects' (with plural). And setuptex.bat is the only file that
mentions `texmf-project';-)
So now I have configured setuptex.bat to search TeXLive. The only hassle is
that I must remember to back up my copy the next time ConTeXt updates. In case
anyone else needs to do this (until Hans provides a better way;->)

[NTG-context] 2 questions about texexec.ini
Dear musketeers, 1. I just noted that texexec.ini for mswincontext.zip defaults to tetex, not fptex. Is that intentional? 2. Can I configure texexec.ini so that texexec --make generates the aleph format in addition to the pdfetex formats? (Of course this assume we can solve the search-paths-for-formats problem.) Thought: Knowing absolutely nothing about texexec's internals, I was thinking that one possible solution to the aleph format subdirectory problem is make another executable, say TeXExecutable2 and then set TeXExecutable2 to aleph A related possiblility is renaming the formats, say: co-al-en.fmt for aleph co-tx-en.fmt for tex etc. Just a stab in the dark from someone who know virtually nothing; never know when you might hit something...

[NTG-context] lmr (texnansi vs ec)
Dear gang, Why does lmr in ConTeXt use the ec instead of the texnansi encoding? I just noticed that all of my macros that use, e.g., \char'25 are now bringing up the wrong symbols. Shouldn't ConTeXt default to the encoding most consistent with cmr (surely I am not the only one who depended on the old TeX encoding->) Idris Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] hyper interactions
Dear syndicate,
Are hyper interactions now restricted to pdfetex's pdf engine? Hyperlinks do
not work in pdf produced by dvipdfmx, for either aleph of pdfetex dvi output.

[NTG-context] extra_mem_bot.context
Dear musketeers, This is a note for aleph users. In _both_ texmf.cnf files that come with the full ConTeXt distribution, you must comment the line %extra_mem_bot.context= 400 [\texmf\web2c, line 503] %extra_mem_bot.context= 200 [\texmf-local\web2c, line140] otherwise aleph will crash upon over/underfull boxes. This has actually been noted before; I don't know/remember if a solution was ever found.

Use > \usetypescript[latin-modern][texnansi] > \setupbodyfont[latin-modern] Ok; it just seems strange that texnansi is not the default, since that's closer to Knuth's original. Maybe its because I (like Knuth) am in America where we don't have accents-) >Ishamid, \char is wrong approach since it is encoding-dependent >definition. Use glyph name instead, like \endash, \Aacute. Are those names defined in Plain TeX? But that's a good idea anyway; I'll just depend on the ConTeXt framework. >But ... your glyph number 25 is not defined in the texnansi. So what it is?
