Mainly a basic setup with readable fonts, sane titling setup, that kind of thing. I've tried setting up my own, but am not espeically pleased by the results. It's a hard thing to quantify, I'll admit. A part of the problem is that I'm still learning CoNTexT so am unfamiliar with (some) of the capabilies available. My ideas for layout/semantics go something like this. Pointers on how to acheive this would be most welcome. One file to act with all the layout commands. One file for each class periods notes (I'll write a little ruby or python scribt to geneate the appropriate \inputs in the main file) In the main file: Table of Contents (Chapters *only*, clickable links) In each chapter TOC: for the chapter At end: An index of all terms that are \index'ed. All references should be hotlinkable. I also plan to write wrappers around things, so I can write something like: \formula{Fibonacci sequence}{$f(1) = 1$, $f(2) = 1$, $f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2)$} and have that generate a figure and index entry. A list of formulas as an appendix would be REALLY slick. I basically want have about the highest possible text/TeX ratio, since I'm typing these notes up "in class" on my iBook, so the more that's automated the better. Actually, if I had the setup for something like the ConTeXt manual, that would be a very good start. Thanks!

[NTG-context] Text Editor for ConTeXt
I am looking for a text editor for use with ConTeXt that is comparable with those available for Latex (e.g. Kile (http://kile.sourceforge.net/) and TeXnicCenter(http://www.texniccenter.org/front_content.php)). The archives refer to ConTEXT, SciTE and Emacs. Only Emacs with the context.el plug-in appears to compare with Latex editors. However, context.el conflicts with my installation of Emacs (which includes the Auctex package) and will not load. Are there any other editors that are recommended? Any other suggestions? Thank you.

Hi George, Fptex caches the kpathsea lists in shared memory, which is a big performance boost for slower machines on fat32 (but also comes with some caveates -- RTFM).

Re: [NTG-context] unicode and out-of-box usability
At 18:59 02/01/2004, you wrote: I've been struggling through, trying to learn Unicode in ConTeXt. It's been instructive, at least. (Hope to make a MyWay about it...) good There are a few weird things that made it difficult to learn, and I was wondering if someone could help explain why things are the way they are. In unic-ini: \chardef\utfunihashmode=0 % 1 = enabled Actually, if I understand things correctly, '1' means "disabled", which is what I preferred, having not yet created any unicode vectors. So the internal documentation there seems wrong, and I would argue the default case (0) makes it harder for beginners. hm, did you look at the unic-001 etc files? the trick is in fast and efficient expansion without the need to define lots of named glyphs More confusingly, in font-uni: forget about that one, although it's called unicode, it's actually a mechanism for the many vectors derived from unicode / related to unicode but not entirely i.e. cjk fonts \def\enableunicodefont#1% {\definefontsynonym[\s!Unicode][\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!file}]% \def\unicodescale {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!schaal}}% \def\unicodeheight{\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!hoogte}}% \def\unicodedepth {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!diepte}}% \def\unicodedigits{\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!conversie}}% \def\handleunicodeglyph {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!commando}}% %%% NEXT LINE \enableregime[unicode]% the following \relax's are realy needed \doifvalue{\??uc#1\c!interlinie}\v!ja\setupinterlinespace\relax \getvalue{\??uc#1\c!commandos}\relax} The \enableregime[unicode] runs in direct opposition with the \enableregime[utf] that normally goes at the start of (some of my) documents. As it stands, with the regime hard-coded, users have to put an \enableregime[utf] *after* the font declaration. That's awkward. so, don't use that mechanism, stick to the utf mechanism The last proposed change/complaint is back in unic-ini, and came from my attempts to match the main body font with the unicode font. \def\utfunifontglyph#1% {\xdef\unidiv{\number\utfdiv{#1}}% \xdef\unimod{\number\utfmod{#1}}% \ifnum#1<[EMAIL PROTECTED] \unicodeasciicharacter\unimod \char\unimod % \unicodeascii\unimod \else\ifcsname\@@univector\unidiv\endcsname \csname\doutfunihash{\unidiv}{#1}\endcsname \else % so, these can be different fonts ! \unicodeglyph\unidiv\unimod % no \uchar (yet) \fi\fi} Basically, I'd like to use the \unicodeasciicharacter hook with this definition: \def\unicodeasciicharacter{\uchar{0}} (I'm not certain the above is release-quality code, but I've been testing it with a stripped down \utfunifontglyph that should be functionally equivalent.) play with it and we'll see Working with the unicode code makes me appreciate that it's really powerful part of ConTeXt. Thanks, Hans! how about the following: there are many font encodings around but none is really complete enough to deal with basic unicode (0/1/2 range) why not define a new font encoding with characters only so that we can have as many chars as needed in a 0-255 vector, all those special characters (registered, and so) are (1) used seldom, (2) not related to hyphenation and kerning; it is also a way to get rid of some 'ligatures' like --- becoming an emdash (in context and xml we can conformtably directly call symbols, and these may come from a different instance of the font Hans ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
