Re: [NTG-context] new to ConTeXt
Sorry for not having answered before, Thomas.
- Finally, for ancient Greek, there is the ancientgreek module
http://
modules.contextgarden.net/t-greek which I find superior to all Greek
typesetting in LaTeX (because I wrote the module).
Is this module contained in the standard ConTeXt distribution or has it
to be downloaded separately?
After reading the the three files contained in the module. I wonder
whether they provide hyphenation for Greek. Do they?
I must admit that I've been too lazy to really test XeTeX, so I may
be wrong here. You can use Unicode input with the module; the only
difference would be that you have to wrap all Greek passages in
\localgreek{} commands or \start ... \stop pairs. I guess XeTeX
provides proper hyphenation for Greek, but
- the module has support for more fonts than XeTeX;
- does XeTeX allow relative scaling of fonts?
Anyway, only Hans and Taco know to what extent I will have to rewrite
everything when luatex and support for OpenType fonts are there.
XeTeX allows relative scaling of fonts.
Yes, I started with already existing modules, and it took me a while
(and lots of help here on the list) to write my own code. I never
actually read any manual cover to cover, but the big manual is almost
always open on my computer for reference. I just finished typesetting
a book with ConTeXt, complete with dozens of cross-references,
indexes, bibliography. Nothing very complicated, but it's wonderful
to see that things work. There are still two or three problems, but
they are fairly harmless. I love donig my own presentation styles
with ConTeXt and metafun. The more I use ConTeXt, the more amazed I
am...
Hope this can inspire you a bit
Yes. Tinkering (and asking in the mailing list ;-)) is the way of learning.
I have discovered the “Typographic Programming” document style.pdf)
which seems very interesting, but unfortunately it is far for being
complete. And I guess Hans is too busy to finish this book anytime soon.
Thanks,
Pablo

[NTG-context] XeTeX, ConTeXt and PDF
Hi there,
I'm using xdvipdfmx 0.3 and ConTeXt ver: 2006.11.06 09:10 MK II fmt:
2006.11.11 int: english/english.
Papersize doesn't seem to work in \setuppapersize[A4,landscape]. Even if
I use \pdfpageheight=21cm and \pdfpagewidth=29.7cm, I get a 29.7×29.7cm
square as papersize. I think that the issues with XeTeX and papersize
have been already solved.
When producing bookmarks with XeConTeXt, for some strange reason
destinations change the page view to /Fit. Is there any way to avoid this?
Bookmarks are generated fine in UTF-8, but surprisingly (at least for
me) the file info is wrong generated. Here you have an example:
\enableregime[utf]
\definetypeface[myfont][rm][Xserif][Junicode]
\setupbodyfont[myfont,12pt]
\setupinteraction[state=start,title={χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά}]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
\placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection]
\starttext
\chapter{χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά}
\stoptext
By the way, could not texmfstart texexec --xtx invoke xdvipdfmx with
the -E option enabled by default? Many fonts include the embedding
restriction not forbid embedding, but to avoid font modification.
Thanks for your help,
Pablo

[NTG-context] relative scaling for fonts
Hi there, I'm using XeTeX one of the features that I miss at most from XeLaTeX (from fontspec), is the possibility to set automatically the scaling of fonts so that they match the lowercase or uppercase letters of the roman font. I wonder whether there is something similar for ConTeXt. By the way, the ConTeXt uses in my view, the wrong XeTeX way to set the interlinear space, since it seems that \XeTeXuseglyphmetrics is set to 0. Probably I should be missing something, but if \XeTeXuseglyphmetrics is not set to 1, ConTeXt will set the interlinear space not by itself, but following the glyph metrics and in some fonts the font height. I guess it would be better to use \XeTeXuseglyphmetrics=1. Best, Pablo ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Thanks very much ... I tried it out and it worked. But I guess I'll
have to spend some more time fiddling around with the options to make
it look similar to what I'm used from the AMSLaTeX package.

May I ask a newbie question? How did you create the lemmas?
Hello,
today, lemmas can be based on description/enumeration mechanism (I
believe
it's been in ConTeXt since circa January 2006).
Descriptions now accept parameter title=yes. Using that, you can
provide a
title to the description. Have a look into core-des.tex.
I found a mysterious startlemma in core-des.tex via the ConTeXt
garden source browser but
Naturally, the example of lemma definition is commented out ;)
Copy
\defineenumeration[lemma][title=yes, titlestyle=\bs, list=lemma]
into your document and try to use
\startlemma{title of the lemma}
blah blah
\stoplemma
Check parameters of descriptions in the manual, you can find some
options
related to the title mechanism.
Yours,
D.A.
P.S.: I've achieved the same functionality by means of ugly hacks that
depend on ConTeXt version strongly. That's why I don't send you my
configuration.

[NTG-context] beta: bug with transparent colors in fields
Hi Hans,
the support of transparent colors in fields seems to be broken (beta
03.11.06). The attached example works with a non transparent
backgroundcolor, but breaks with a transparent one. Same behaviour on
ConTeXt Live.
\definecolor
[notebackgroundcolor]
% [s=.85]
[s=1,a=1,t=.9]
There is another problem with field activation (not in this example).
When the doc opens, the fields (region in/out) are kind of inactive.
Normally a tooltip note is shown/hidden, if the area is entered/left.
Only after activating the fields by pressing R and H in Acrobat,
they become alive. After that they work as expected. I am still working
on a minimal example for this case.

Dear list user, The Dutch TeX users group organizes a meeting on saturday 18 november. Location: Highschool Helicon, Zeist, The Netherlands. Theme: The next generation TeX - a glance on the future At the this moment active development takes place for the successor of pdfTeX. During next year this engine will be dirstributed. Next to this, steps are undertaken to improve the integration of the graphical possibilities of Metapost.in TeX. A bunch of new fonts are in the pipeline which can replace existing (free) font-collections: extended, improved, OTF versions. There are different initiatives for enhancing TeX and related programs e.g. giving them a more modern, up-to-date interface. Further one can see, that TeX is moving form the front-end into the background, so that users do not even know that the final work is performed with TeX. The mentioned aspects will be discussed and presented during the upcoming NTG-meeting. The NTG would like to invite you to join us. Global programme: 09 :30 arrival 10:00 opening, presentations/discussion 11:15 coffee break 11:45 presentations/discussion 12:45-13.30 lunch 13:30 presentations/discussion 15:00 Thea break 15:30 presentations/discussion 16:30 closing 17:30 Diner in one of the restaurants in Zeist Issues to be presented: luatex: development of the next generation pdfTeX opentype: the first three delivered replacement fonts from the polish foundry metapost: on its way to full integration into TeX epspdfgui: Good-bye to obscure commandline programs processing in the background ...: how Tex moves behind the scene pgf: replacement of macros containing graphics TeXlive: the in's en out's of preparing a distribution Description of the location and how to get there: http://www.hhelicon.nl/index2.html If you would like to join in, please send an e-mail to the NTG secretary: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kind regards Willi Egger Secretary NTG ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] How to get a PhD with ConTeXt (+ hard work ;) )
Mojca Miklavec a crit:
Nice work! I can't read French, but the figures are very nice and
content is probably interesting as well ;)
Thanks!
I didn't know that people were indeed using the module already (I
started using it more regularly only recently).
dunno (but hope so because of the result...)
Now one question: how exactly did you create/include the plots? With
"which version of the module"? I don't mind if some of my plots break
if I slightly change the interface before officially releasing it, but
I don't want other people to have problems with that.
You're right. I've used the latest darcs' release (up to the "points
added, some options, etc..." patch). For the inclusion, it's better to
have an example in mind:
file curves.gp
set terminal context input textext linewidth .3 size 1.2
set output "curves.tex"
set xlabel "$x$ (m)"
set ylabel "$z$ (m)"
set notitle
plot sin(x) with lines lw 2 notitle
set xlabel "$t$ (s)"
set ylabel "a label"
set notitle
plot cos(x)
file gpsample.tex:
\usemodule[t-gnuplot]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\processGNUPLOTfile[mybeautifulcurves][curves]
\placefigure[here]{none}{
\startcombination[1*2]
{\useMPgraphic{gpg:mybeautifulcurves:1}}{$\sin$}
{\useMPgraphic{gpg:mybeautifulcurves:2}}{$\cos$}
\stopcombination
}
\stoptext
The output is processed using:
gnuplot curves.gp
texexec gpsample
With this method, the gnuplot call delivers a curves.tex file one could
keep as long as the plot doesn't change... Can be usefull when you have
a big document! ;)
I'll write a paper entitled "How to get a PhD with... ConTeXt" asap (I
have the summary and the ideas but time is missing these days, as
always and, moreover because of my new job...). It'll mainly be a paper
about integration (m-bib, gnuplot, mp, etc...)
Best regards
Renaud
PS: what will you do to manage your gnuplot module for ConTeXt ?
Include it into official gnuplot ? It's maybe the time to keep it "well
managed", with supelec foundry for example... What your opinion ?
