[NTG-context] concatenate PDF files.
I am looking for a way to concatenate several PDF files, and found this e-mail from Hans: http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-January/000240.html saying that "texexec" can do it in several ways! and to look on the web-site, texexec manual and the mailing list for directions. I went to the manual first and found only ONE: texexec --pdfarrange --noduplex --paper=S6 file-a file-b but that nullified all links I had in my files, and changed the opening from from FitVisible to something else (all files were FitVisible). Next I went to two other sources he mentioned and Googled for: "-ntg-context concatenate pdf" did not yield much beyond that, and neither did Googling http://www.pragma-ade.com/ for the words "concatenate" or "combine". So does anyne know how to use "texexec" to concatenate two PDF files and preseve as much of the file as possible (links, opening format, ...) ?

[NTG-context] Columnset Areas - Background Color ?
Hi ! I've been trying to use columnsets with columnsetareas but I haven't been able to define a background color for the text in the columnset area. You can see the problem in the pdf I've attached (area5.pdf). I'v created a small example of the problem: area5.tex As far as I recall I've also tried to use a columnset span but the problem was the same. Can anyone provide me with some hints so that I can use some background color in columnsetareas ?

[NTG-context] btex ... etex in .mp
Hi! I remember reading somewhere that you can't use btex ... etex in "input" .mp files, as there is no possibility for them to be processed at that time. I've hit a snag, though, and this would really be a good thing for me to have. Is there any way to get similar behavior? Basically, I want to define some stuff that I want to reuse in several pictures. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull:: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA:: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);} ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Boldmath Lucida
Hi all, When writing a mathematical text I encountered a few problems with bold symbols. Under the line you will find three problems (dutch interface). Are they due to my insufficient knowledge of installing fonts? Thanks for any comment.

Problem 2: ${{\bfm \beta}}$ gives a wrong glyph (in fact the ligature 'fi').

Hello Tobias, Floris and others, [live.contextgarden.net] >>i would opt for a better 'result-ready' flag (e.g. providing the link >>to the result) instead of opening a log file that is of not too much >>interest when everything went OK. >> > How about something like that: > > Show an intermediate page with a reload HTTP header which calls itself > repeatedly > a) If the PDF file exists redirect to the PDF page > b) If no PDF exists but the texexec has ended, redirect to the logfile which would be the same as just waiting for the texexec job to finish and then finish loading the website. > The redirect should not use http-equiv but the real HTTP header. But, as far as I can see, the user would see an empty page until texexec stops (perhaps depending on the browser). > Instead of reloading, you may also try Serverpush: yuck, this looks very evil to me. What I try to achieve is to be able to use the live... without javascript. And I still haven't found a good way of doing so. I'll stop the popup with the output, and I think I will wait for the website to load until the texexec jobs finishes.

That's not the problem. Don't forget that I just posted a minimal example to show the generel effect as also seen by Willi. In my documents the figures are different of course: the footnote size is smaller, the margin space higher etc. So it's not the problem that the footnotes don't fit. It's more that they are *still below* the text as before - now as empty space. (You can easily make the test: Take a regular document with footnotes per page below the text. Then use the code to get the footnotes in the margin. You will see that the body text doesn't change at all. It's just the notes moving and leaving empty space behind) Steffen ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
