[NTG-context] How to set paths for input files (again)
Hi all!
Some days ago I asked a question about setting paths to inputed files. Now I
see the question may be
missunderstood. Sorry for that. I'll try to repeat in some other way.
I need to set directories for included files. For some reason I don't want
to say
\input ./my-dir/my-file
I'd rather setup directory ./my-dir in the begining of the project and than
make it possible to
say just
\input my-file
or
\type my-file
or even
\processXMLfile{my-file} % most important for me
There is a commmand \setupexternalfigures[directory={./my-dir}] which allow
to do that for external figures.
Is it also possible to set directory for included TeXt-files? There is also
\setupsystem command; is it a good trace (I didn't find any example of
usage)?
Give me some hints, please.
Thanks, Pawe/l

Why dont You just put the figure into a box? You can always say:
\newdimen\W
\newdimen\H
\setbox0\hbox{\externalfigure[your_figure]}
\W=\wd0\relax
\H=\ht0
\advance\H by \dp0\relax
\the\W
\the\H
\end
Such row TeX code always work:)

Hi Patrick and all the others
thanks for your answer. I think I asked my question a little bit unclearly.
I wanted to know if i can get the width of a figure, or the overlaywidth of
this figure as a numeric. I want to make a frame like this:
\framed[width=, height=]{blabla}.
I don't know if such a thing is possible, I didn't find such a thing in a
manual.

This morning, on Win98, texexec.exe reliably failed to find texexec.ini.
I see that the full path of texexec.exe is passed into the backticks:
my $IniPath = `$own_quote$kpsewhich$own_quote --format="other text files"
-progname=context texexec.$suffix` ;
replacing "$kpsewhich" with "kpsewhich" got things working. I wonder
if this is some Win98 command buffer length issue. Is it necessary
to pass the full path (e.g., C:\PROGRA~1\TEXLIVE\BIN\WIN32\KPSEWHICH.EXE)?

My guess is that when kpathsea is failing, you are supposed to get a
message in "$HOME/cont-err", but instead you end up with text on an
extra page, something like:
and Settings/popineau/My Documents//cont-err
which suggests the error is likely written to C:/Documents.
I didn't have a chance to test your patch today.
Currently, texexec.pl tries a brute force search if kpathsea fails to find
texexec.ini or texexec.rme. On the Win98 PC I'm using, this search takes
much longer than I'm willing to wait. Would it be better to exit with a
suggestion that the user investigate the problem with kpathsea?

Does any of you cracks has experience in how to use the AGaramondAlternate Font in ConTeXt? I have no problems with the other Expert fonts but this one stays empty.

Hi,

Thanks, but I tried examples from there and only

works fine...
Other examples does nothing - there is no errors on \setlayer but
I didn't see any effect - no text is visible ;(

Sorry for the misspelling of your name.
Thanks, I see that my question is almost the same as yours was.
However, when I use

should be
\setupfootnotes[bodyfont=8pt,offset=-1cm]
\setupbodyfont as argument to \setupbodyfont is not that good an idea -)

Ok, I'm not sure why, but the techninque shown on my page works only
when the body of the text is surrounded by \startbodymatter ...
\stopbodymatter. The example should read:
\startbodymatter
\chapter{The Windows of Absolute Night}
...etc...
\stopbodymatter
I also use \startfrontmatter ... \stopfrontmatter to delimit the
Contents, Preface, Introduction, etc, and \startbackmatter ...
\stopbackmatter around the Index and colophon. But the behavior you
found is controlled by the example above.
I'll correct the page.

Re: [NTG-context] newbie tabulate question
Willi,
thanks, you made me discover MAPS, which I had not known before! Seems
to be a lot of interesting stuff in there, and thank god I was born in
Aachen, so Dutch isn't too difficult for me... But alas, the module
must have changed since 1999--not even the minimal examples from the
article you mentioned work. \setuptabulate[inner={\blank[big]}] gives a
blank line before my first row, but not between rows. Mmmh - maybe a
bug in core-tbl.tex? Probably Hans is the only one to know...

[NTG-context] Does Bill McClain's TOC work?
Working on my first TOC I was looking at Bill McClain's
"ConTeXt and pdfTeX Beginners Help Page", and its example on TOCs
with different entries.
I copied and pasted his example, but what should be like this:
Contents
Introduction to the Annotated Edition * 5
Preface * 12
1 * The Windows of Absolute Night * 15
is in fact:
Contents
Introduction to the Annotated Edition * 5
Preface * 12
3 * The Windows of Absolute Night * 15 <- "3" !
(the unnumbered headings *are* numbered)
So I tried something different:
\definehead[LevelOneEmpty][chapter]
\setuphead[LevelOneEmpty][number=no]
\definehead[LevelOne[chapter]
\setuphead[LevelOne][number=yes]
\definehead[LevelTwo][section]
\definehead[LevelThree][subsection]
\starttext
\definecombinedlist
[content]
[LevelOneEmpty,LevelOne,LevelTwo, LevelThree]
\setupcombinedlist
[content][alternative=b,aligntitle=no,width=2.5em]
\completecontent[way=bytext]
\LevelOneEmpty{Introduction}
...
\LevelOne{First real Chapter}
But the result is the same:
Contents
Introduction...
2 First real Chapter
A last try with the following changed:
\definehead[LevelOneEmpty][title]
was even worse: "Introduction" doesn't appear at all in the TOC.
So what is the right way?
I'd be happy for any hint.
Steffen

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes
Hi Pawel
Thanks for your suggestions. In my case this does not seem to be the
solution.
I fiddled with the different options. The conclusion is, that the footnotes
do not readily follow the
bodyfont settings. Still it is possible to switch from rm to ss by means of
\setupfootnotes[bodyfont={small,ss}] but the texts are typeset in CMSS
then...
I provided Hans a test file and he will look into it.
