[NTG-context] loading bib module breaks colors in tikz figures (mkiv)
Hello, Not that I understand why this happens (bug trigger looks extremely weird), but if I load bib module, the colors in TikZ graphic are lost. Commenting out bib module returns the color back. (I remember reporting lack of colors not so long ago, though I'm not sure if it was in pdftex or luatex.) I'm using - ConTeXt MKIV 2009.05.08 21:48 - LuaTeX beta-0.40.1 - approximately CVS version of TikZ \usemodule [bib] \usemodule [tikz] \starttext \starttikzpicture \filldraw[fill=green!20,draw=green!50!black] (0,0) -- (60:3cm) arc (60:120:3cm) -- cycle; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext Can anyone please confirm the bug?

Thanks, Mojca To Till only: I have a feeling that the command \node[label=87:$φ$] at (65:1cm) {}; an the image above places the label to a different place from where it used to place it a few weeks ago (recompiling an old document has placed the label to a different place).

First, I noticed that \unknown produces three dots, not four. So, I tried "\unknown." (See the attached.) In this case, There is a thin space between the word and the first dot, so that the output looks like which . . . . Convention says that the fist dot should look like a sentence-ending period: which. . . . Second, with "\unknown.", the last space is slightly, just slightly, narrower than the preceding two. I guess "\unknown" is designed to be an inter-sentence ellipsis: This long sentence\unknown is complicated. For this purpose, it's perfect. It generates appropriate spaces before and after the three dots. Regards, Ryo \starttext Hello\ldots. World.\ldots Hello\unknown.

Re: [NTG-context] good layout for tech manual
Hi, I’m doing also manuals (utility vehicles), graphics are mainly not screenshots but drawings (or photos), but I have also chapters which consist mainly in screenshots (of a 640px or so control device). My messures refere to A5 landscape. Best solution for me so far: a constant margin of about 45 mm where I can put my images/screenshots in; the images go in as \place[margin]; so they are always aligned on top and respecting each other;). Sometimes I do a \margintext or \inmargin but preferably vers the end of the production. It happens that on some pages the margin will be empty. For me this is ok. The advantage is, that you’ll rest quite flexible, when you have to insert new things or to replace images. The flow-text flow is quite good. In annexe I put my env-file (a bit cleaned-up), so you can get an idea (once again: its a5 landscape). env_rxt_cleaned.tex Description: Binary data Although a bit cleaned it contain s much stuff of a context newby, but maybe you get the idea.

[NTG-context] narrow space in "\ldots."
Hello ConTeXt folks, I'm quite new to ConTeXt. I like it. It's way more systematic than LaTeX. Here's my first question. When omitting the last part of a sentence, I want four periods: This is a long sentence which\ldots. LaTeX produces equally-spaced four periods, but with ConTeXt, the last space is narrower than the preceding two. (See examples below.) I guess that LaTeX specifically designed its \ldots with this use (sentence-ending four dots) in mind. How can one fix it in ConTeXt? I use the "context" package version 2008.05.21-1 on Debian testing. The LaTeX is from the texlive-latex packages. Cheers, Ryo %--- ConTeXt version -- \starttext Hello\ldots.

[NTG-context] setuptex changes in minimals (was: bugs in beta)

Is this be done deliberately? Yes (we were bored during some Polish talks at BachoTeX). The reason for setuptex setting all those variables in the old days was to override tetex's environmental variables, but in principle this is not needed at all unless tetex is present on computer. The reason for removing them again was to make sure that Hans' scripts work properly even when no environmental variable is set (which will be the case on TeX Live for example). The only variable change that's really needed is fixing PATH, but it's so convenient to be able to run ". /path/to/setuptex" instead of typing the long export PATH="/path/to/minimals/bin:$PATH" We nevertheless left two or three variables since ConTeXt didn't yet work properly without them, but we'll remove those as well. If anyone uses minimals on tetex, we can create an additional file again that would enable complete isolation. We didn't clean up the windows script yet as it would need some more testing (and we had enough problem by minimals not running at all on unix), but that's still on TODO list ... We also silently added TEXMFHOME (while Hans was not watching), but maybe we need to change the exact path. If you have any particular question or request about that, let us know.

Re: [NTG-context] Inside ConTeXt
Hi Wolfgang, I appreciate your solution, but it would be much more useful if the solution would be accompanied with a step-by-step explanation of what is going on behind the scenes. A collection of such elegant solutions (together with explanations) would be an invaluable source of knowledge for those of us who want to learn the TeX programming.
