Hi John,

Coud it be that you simply forgot the = after width?

First I built a letter-on-tabloid booklet like this:

\definepapersize[tabloid][width=11in,height=17in]
\setuppapersize[letter][tabloid]
\setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided]
\setuplayout[width=7in,location=doublesided,backspace=0.73in,
topspace=.0in,height=10.3in]

This worked pretty well. For the next iteration I wanted to
reduce the size by one half, in other words a half letter sheet
on a letter sheet. I came up with this:

\definepapersize[halff][width 5.5in,height=8.5in]
\definepapersize[ful][width 8.5in,height=11in]
\setuppapersize[halff][ful]
\setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided]

Now no amount of fiddling with \setuplayout parameters seems to
place the logical pages correctly on the paper. If I use no such parameters
whatever the entire physical page image seem to slide toward the
bottom of the piece of paper. As a result the bottom logical page
slides halfway off the page. 

Can anyone spot an obvious goof?

[NTG-context] continued examples

2006-04-26 Thread Christopher Creutzig
Salvete,

 after a long time I got back to some ConTeXt file I had been working on
and found that the following construct does not work (I assume it never
did):

\defineenumeration[example]
  [sectionnumber=chapter,
text=Example,
location=hanging,
way=bychapter]

\starttext
\startexample
 Let $a=1$, $b=2$
\stopexample

Something more generic

\startexample[continue]
  Then, $a+b=3$.
\stopexample
\stoptext


 I would like the second example to come out as Example 1 (cont.).  I
must confess I did not quite understand which part of
\dododefineenumeration actually defines \startexample ...  Any ideas?

[NTG-context] verb-c and tabulator width

Hello,
thanks to Nikolai for the verb-c module!

One (probably there will come more) question:
How could I adjust the width of the tabulator?

It seems to be always one space inside \startC...\stopC :

\usemodule[verb-c]
\chardef\spacespertab=4
\starttext
\starttyping
int main(){
int i;
}
\stoptyping
\startC

[NTG-context] \k in inline math

2006-04-26 Thread Sanjoy Mahajan
\starttext
$\k T$
\stoptext

The above test file, to my surprise, compiled fine.  [In Plain TeX I
usually define \k as \kappa, but I had forgotten to carry over that
definition.]  The pdf output showed a T with little hook as a subscript.

I can redefine \k as \kappa, but that might overwrite an important
definition.  However, I can't figure out where \k is defined.  With
\tracingmacros=1, the log had:

  \k -\dohandleaccent {k}

but lots of grepping in the context sources only produced:

texmf/tex/context/base/mult-ini.tex:71:\def\k!prefix!{k!} \def\l!prefix!{l!}

 Replacing $...$ with \mathematics{...} works without errors.

Good suggestion -- also works here.  

Shouldn't $...$ be equivalent to \mathematics{...}?

$$...$$ is deprecated relative to \startformula...\stopformula, so I
wrote a Python script to convert the plain TeX form to the
ConTexT-preferred form.  However, I like $...$: It's compact and
reading the source file is almost as easy as reading the printed file.
With \mathematics scattered throughout the paragraphs it wouldn't be
so easy, plus I'd have to convince Emacs to fontify the argument of
\mathematics, whereas it already does that for $...$.

 Hi John,

 Coud it be that you simply forgot the = after width?

 Of course. It was staring at me and I didn't see it. I missed two
 of them in fact.

 Thanks Willi.
 

 Ah I spoke too soon. The layout is OK but the TOC disapears when
 I use the \setuparranging. It works otherwise. I get a message on
 sysout:
   -  
 output file : apr06.tuo
 remark : no output file generated
  -  
 The apr06.tui file has the TOC entries, e.g.,
 -
 c \listentry{section}{1}{}{2006 Events Calendar}{2::0:0:1:0:0:0:0::25}{25}
 c \listentry{section}{2}{}{2007 Events Calendar}{2::0:0:2:0:0:0:0::25}{25}
 c \listentry{section}{3}{}{2006 Officers, Directors and Board Members}
 {2::0:0:3:0:0:0:0::25}{25}
 c \listentry{section}{4}{}{Contact Information}{2::0:0:4:0:0:0:0::25}{25}
 c \listentry{section}{5}{}{Board Meeting Minutes February 20, 2006}
 {2::0:0:5:0:0:0:0::25}{25}
 c \listentry{section}{6}{}{Brags}{2::0:0:6:0:0:0:0::25}{25}

 The log file says in part:
 ---
 ./content.tex
 system  : part,chapter,section not found/processed
 -

 content.tex is a called subfile containing just:
 ---
 \startcolumns[n=2]
 \placecontent[level=section, alternative=c]
 \stopcolumns
 ---

 I use a mode to create the booklet. When I don't use the mode the
 toc is fine. Here is the mode:
 --
 \startmode[hal]
 \definepapersize[halff][width=5.5in,height=8.5in]
 \definepapersize[ful][width=8.5in,height=11in]
 \setuppapersize[halff][ful]
 \setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided]
 \setuplayout[margin=0pt,width=fit]
 \stopmode
 -

 The TOC is not absolutely critical to this particular job, but I
 would like to know what is happpening (or not happening in this
 case.)

   
use

texexec --arrange

which will do a normal run followed by an arrange one

(alternatively, use --once when you arrange)
