 That is protected by DRM from Adobe; you need software from Adobe for this.
   
indeed, but what one can do is submit the form to a url and get back an updated

this only works if one runs inside a browser; technically this server can run

Re: [NTG-context] Bibtex and et al

2006-10-11 Thread Thomas A. Schmitz

Are you running a recent version of the module? Taco's definition of  
authoretal seems OK:

 \c!authoretaltext={ {\it et al.\/}},

so there's a space here. Also, it would help to have a minimal test  
file.

Hi Gerhard,

I looked into your log file and it shows

ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2006.1.23 int: english mes: english

It's an ancient ConTeXt version, you need to uprade your ConTeXt version
first to get a splittet table.

You should download the latest stable version from pragma.

If you want a repeated header on every page try to put
\setuptables[split=repeat]
into your document.

With new versions from ConTeXt you do no longer the
\starttables ... \stoptables
command.

Hans changed it to control table splitting completely with split-option
in\setuptables and makes to let the normal \starttable-environment
split when neccessary.

You should look at the wiki how to upgrade your TeX-distribution.

[NTG-context] Natural table + interlinespacing

2006-10-11 Thread Mari Voipio


I'd love natural tables except for one aspect that drives me crazy: How 
do I diminish the interlinespacing in my table? That is, I want the 
lines in the multiline cells to be closer together.
The overall interlinespacing is default, i.e. I haven't used

[NTG-context] an encoding for turkish

Hi,

I am preparing a document in xml docbook. The general output  with 
Context is fine.

However, in my main text (Dutch) I use some Turkish as well. Next to the 
xml-editor, I use Textpad, whose unicode support is not optimal, so  for 
the time being I save the file in iso 8859-9. This encoding is identical

yacute replaced by Gbreve, gbreve, Scedilla, scedilla, Idotabove, 
dotlessi (see e.g. http://www.gar.no/home/mats/8859-9.htm).

Now I can't figure out which encoding to use in my Context document (I 
also considered using a code in the xml, but that is not a very 
attractive idea). Do we need to set up a separate coding for Turkish 
(like for Polish, Slowak and Romanian)?

[NTG-context] Float references in a register

2006-10-11 Thread Duncan Hothersall

Is it possible to have float references (i.e. Table 1.1) alongside page
numbers in a register?

I've never come across it before, but I've just been asked to produce an
index which has entries like:

coverage measurement tools  176-177, Table 6.5

I have looked through core-reg without much illumination. I wonder if I
can use \writetoregister but experiments thus far haven't been successful.

Is this sort of thing supported/supportable?

scommaaccent instead of scedilla):
- you can redefine scedilla to be composed from s and cedilla, but
then you loose proper hyphenation of words containing scedilla
- you can use another font or hack a bit (try whether it works if you
replace scommaaccent with scedilla in ec-lm.map files)

Hi Robert,

se easiest way would be to save your document in unicode-encoding
and process it with \enableregime[utf] in ConTeXt.

I use Textpad sometimes by myslf, but I prefer emeditor because it support
more encodings and has built-in syntax hyghligting for TeX.

 Hi Mari,

 can you make a minimum example of your problem.

 One way to make your table smaller is to use another bodyfontsize.

   \setupTABLE[bodyfont=small] will help u.

I don't know if we're talking about the same problem, but what I hate
about natural tables as well (although I use them all the time) is
very bad spacing: horizontal offset is too narrow and vertical offset
is too big (well, it also depends on content, but in general
\starttable/tabulate looks much better regarding spacing).

If I want smaller table I usually do
\startbuffer[name]
... table ...
\stopbuffer
\externalfigure[\jobname-name.tmp][scale=...]

but that is not *the* solution. Tables still look bad that way. The
main problem is that there is no special parameter for horizonal
offset and vertical offset for \framed, otherwise the user could
modify that at least to some extent. I have no idea how usual tables
create nice spacing.

[NTG-context] U3D support in progress

2006-10-11 Thread Renaud AUBIN






Hi all,

The 3dartwork module can be found here:
http://www.nibua-r.org/ConTeXt/devel/3dartwork.tgz
Someone could maybe process test-3dartwork on a windows machine and
report if there is trouble...

Warning: The use of the "piping" syntax is only possible with the last
pdfTeX (thanks to Taco). I use pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.0-beta-20060928-2.2
(Web2C 7.5.5) to process test-3dartwork.

What I need now is:
1. How to call \input "| ls" (for example) from t-3dartwork instead of
test-3dartwork ?
2. To ConTeXt gurus: Could you check if my use of ConTeXt is "clean"...
(I will rewrite my rough view.rb... ;) )
3. To ConTeXt's community: feature requests ?

I've seen that octaga has released a x3d plugin for acrobat (included
with the last octaga player for windows). I'll work on it as soon as
the linux version will be released ! ;)

 'cont-xx.xml'. 
 Is this file updated by hand?
   
yes
 Who does this? Hans alone?
   
yes, but users can send additions / patches
 I guess, the commands shown in texshow are depending on the same 
 file.
   
yes, but texshow can have additional information that is kept in a database
 Btw. for me (MSIE 5.5) the texshow page is not working.
 I see the left frame and the right only for home, help and special.
 For all commands (server or dns not found).
   
dunno, patrick ...
 With wget I got all the stuff, but the language is sort of random.
 Sometimes I got en, sometimes other. May be I got the last selected 
 language.
   
dunno, patrick ...

Re: [NTG-context] Natural table + interlinespacing

 I'd love natural tables except for one aspect that drives me crazy: How 
 do I diminish the interlinespacing in my table? That is, I want the 
 lines in the multiline cells to be closer together.
 The overall interlinespacing is default, i.e. I haven't used 
 \setupinterlinespace in the setup of my document.

just scale the table to textheight then -)

Re: [NTG-context] solved: context rendering disabled on contextgarden / new distribution?

  you mean when you say distribution? 
 
 Such as 'tetex', 'texlive' or the minimal distribution from PRAGMA
 ADE.

Hello Patrick,
if texlive is an option for you, I could provide a tgz-package.

I can build such a package on a SuSE-9.0 or SuSE-10.1 system as this:
rpmbuild --rebuild --force http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.spm
tar -czf /tmp/texlive.tgz /opt/TeX-live /etc/profile.d/texlive.sh

Cheers, Peter

 Hi all,

 there is some deep bug that was discovered translating Beginners 
 manual. Let take single chapter e.g. ma-cb-cz-alignments.tex

 With today beta I got .log attached (error ! Extra \else)
 This will appear in both modes screen and normal.

 Interesting is that no error appears in context 2006-05-28.
 quite some code is being rewritten / adapted to context mkiv so there 
 could be low level differences

 can you make a small example, since this else problem can come from 
 other places than reported

 There are demonstrative files. Please, run
   texmfstart texexec --pdf ma-cb-cz-test.tex
 and
   texmfstart texexec --pdf --mode=screen ma-cb-cz-test.tex

this file: ma-cb-env-cz.tex refers to itself and probably should be : 


\startenvironment ma-cb-env-cz

\environment ma-cb.tex

\mainlanguage[cz]
\language[en]
\enableregime[latin2]

\stopenvironment

Re: [NTG-context] Natural table + interlinespacing

 I don't know if we're talking about the same problem, but what I hate
 about natural tables as well (although I use them all the time) is
 very bad spacing: horizontal offset is too narrow and vertical offset
 is too big (well, it also depends on content, but in general
 \starttable/tabulate looks much better regarding spacing).

 If I want smaller table I usually do
 \startbuffer[name]
  table ...
 \stopbuffer
 \externalfigure[\jobname-name.tmp][scale=...]

 but that is not *the* solution. Tables still look bad that way. The
 main problem is that there is no special parameter for horizonal
 offset and vertical offset for \framed, otherwise the user could
 modify that at least to some extent. I have no idea how usual tables
 create nice spacing.
   
the ofsset is around all edged (maybe some day i will add more offsets but only 
when my machine is 10 times faster) 

the vertical spacing is just as in normal text and is detemined by the 
strutheight / depth and lineheight; of course you can change that but it may 
make your docs sensitive for unequal spacing 

tabulate uses the line parameters as well  and the other table mechanism as 
(imo) bad spacing in paragraphs anyway 

anyhow, you can make 'm as ugly as you want 

\starttext

\setupcolors[state=start]

\startsetups mojca
\setupinterlinespace[.8]
\leftskip2em

\setupTABLE [row]  [each] 
[background=color,backgroundcolor=blue,frame=on,framecolor=white]
\setupTABLE [first][2][corner=8]
\setupTABLE [last] [2][corner=5]

the corner trickery is in the latest beta (made that today) - don't ask why -)

 Hi all,

 The 3dartwork module can be found here: 
 http://www.nibua-r.org/ConTeXt/devel/3dartwork.tgz
 Someone could maybe process test-3dartwork on a windows machine and 
 report if there is trouble...

 Warning: The use of the piping syntax is only possible with the last 
 pdfTeX (thanks to Taco). I use pdfTeX 
 3.141592-1.40.0-beta-20060928-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) to process test-3dartwork.

 What I need now is:
 1. How to call \input | ls (for example) from t-3dartwork instead of 
 test-3dartwork ?
maybe use module x-xml-* instead

 2. To ConTeXt gurus: Could you check if my use of ConTeXt is 
 clean... (I will rewrite my rough view.rb... ;) )
later

 do you have a minimal tes file?

 a solution may be

 \let\savedbarcommand=|

 \unexpanded\def|{\savedbarcommand}

 
 Yes, this works.

 I've tried to create a minimal example, but in the end all points to the
 fact, that | is a special character. So even the use of | as
 argument of some macro like

  \FOO[data={||abcx}]{..}

 is not recommended (without prior catcode change). I use the symbols as
 an abbreviation for different MP graphics, and it wouldn't make sense to
 write \letterbar every time. Looks like I have to choose a different symbol.
   
still experimental is that you can change the catcodetable (pseudo in 
mkii, native in mkiv) but i won't bring up it's dirty details here


\let\savedbarcommand=|
 
\unexpanded\def|{\savedbarcommand}

this makes them unexpandable but still using ~ and | for such purposes is kind 
of tricky
