Not being the one that has to do the programming, that's an easy thing to say :) # texshow-web I've just noticed that there's no possibility to describe single options for the commands. Take \setuplayout for example. Describing such huge collection of parameters in plain text is not clear, synoptic any more. It would be great if there would be a possibility to add descriptions for: - the command as such (already there) - every pair of braces (only one for \setuplayout), has to be visible if it is optional or not This is already there, but perhaps a bit too subtle: optional arguments are typeset using darkred braces and brackets (instead of black) - every parameter inside a single brace - every single option for that parameter (for example: width=middle means that ...), default has to be marked I believe that information is not in the XML file, but I guess it should be. Would requires quite some a bit of effort on the data- entry side (deriving the used defaults from the actual sources). Enabling the Wiki functionality (bold, italic, tables ... texcode and context) and linking it to the source browser (to the place where \def\thisspecificcommand is) would also add another dimensionality. It would probably not be 100% compatible with the pretty-much-textbased texshow program, but ... I could imagine that one day something similar as modules.pdf (texshow.pdf) could be made from that page with pretty good documentation of (all ?) ConTeXt commands. standalone texshow is on the list to be re-done anyway, so I can make it do whatever texshow-web does without much extra effort (esp. since it will also become a ruby script). The ability to add commands is already there I think (I have never tried it out yet). What about adding commands for (official and third-party) modules? It should be separated from the main page, but still offering the same functionality. This was on the todo list, IIRC. There is also metapost/metafun and LaTeX commands to consider. :) Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Fonts in Metapost
Hello all,
finaly I solved my problem: I had my metapost graphic in an external
file and used it with:
\startuseMPgraphic{test}
\input mp.mp ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{test}
or
\startbuffer[test1]
\input mp.mp
\stopbuffer
\processMPbuffer[test1,graphic]
in both cases I get the graphic but the font switching does not work.
When I copy the content of my graphic file into \startuseMPgraphic
\stopuseMPgraphic or \startbuffer \stopbuffer I works. Is there an
explanation for this behaviour? I thought \input would be equal to
typing it directly.
What is the best way to handle multiple graphics when I want to use the
font switching mechanismn? Any advice?
Thanks alot

I don't get any accents. Am I doing something wrong?
No, I am.
You can verify further by adding:
\loadmapfile[original-ams-base]
\showmathcharacters
The normal text-ish accents are not present in the eulervm fonts. I
suppose the rationale is that these are never to be used for text (but
it becomes questionable when you don't have an overbar or dot!)
I have tried to figure out how to get them from other fonts, but am at a
loss, in terms of the general case.
No one has mentioned it before now, so I didn't try that hard. :)
Anyone have any suggestions on what approach to take, or what they'd
like to see?
Apart from creating some new virtual euler font with accents I can not
see any solution. Beforementioned commands (\acute ...) do not work in
\mbox and \hbox in math mode (writes about '{' and '}' missing).
Another strange thing. After this sequence:
\usetypescript [modern-base] [t2a] % just for example
\setupbodyfont [modern]
\definetypeface[mytf][mm][math][euler][euler]
\startbuffer
$$\sqrt{\acute{a}+\bar{b}+\dot{c}}$$
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\getbuffer
\switchtobodyfont[mytf]
\getbuffer
\switchtobodyfont[modern]
\getbuffer
\stoptext
Third formula remains roman. Why so?

To enable bold math by default write:
\definetypeface[somename][mm][boldmath][latin-modern][default][rscale=1]

if you want some other font, for example euler, choose one of the
following lines: %\definetypeface[somename][mm][math][euler][euler]
%\definetypeface[somename][mm][boldmath][euler][euler]
Thanks for example. We're on the same way now ;-).
But what exactly do you mean by bold math with accented characters?
I meant not accented, but other alphabet (cyrillic in my case). Accented
characters are composed from others, which is another case.
Is there any special reason that we have to write $\hbox{\tf ...}$?
Well, AFAIK in \mbox there is switch \mf (for 'math font'), which
switches last font alternative even for math symbols.

Hi Wolfgang,
usually I compile the MetaPost fiures into a pdf. I refer to the
pictures then by \externalfigure[metapost-pdf][page=1] or similar.
