 Gerben,

 With a default install of Context, I don't believe write18 is

 any of that?

 I know about write18 and it is turned off bacause  I have to ship a
 default `secure' setup. What the Metapost issue is, you'll have to
 explain.

 If so, what configuration steps do you take?

 Me personally, none. I use ConTeXt and it works fine as is.

Let me be a bit more clear. If you want me to change my  
redistributions, you will have to make clear I understand what is  
needed and why. Most often it has just been something like add this  
or change size setting that. But here, I have no idea what does not  
work for you and in howfar configuration issues are the point to  
address.

In cases like these, the best way is to send me a small example.

If a change would require a non-secure standard config, I will not do  
it. Nor will I if there is a reasonable run-time (not configure time)  
workaround (e.g. adding -shell-escape to tex can be done runtime and  
is thus a better security strategy than turning it on by default). If  
it is possible to offer some configuration options to the user, I  
will investigate.

[NTG-context] texmfstart.exe vs. texmfstart.rb

2006-02-05 Thread Hooman Javidnia
Hi Hans and Taco,

Thanks to all your guidance and a lot of trial and error, now I have a
SciTE under windwos XP which works. There is one strange feature though. I
had to put the .exe version of texmfstart into the scripts ruby scripts
folder so that my files get compiled. SciTE can't understand that
texmfstart.rb is there and ruby is installed.

Before I copy the .exe version to this directory, I could run all
texmfstart commands from the command line without any problem, but from
within SciTE the commands won't run. What is the difference between the
two versions? And why SciTE can't understand that ruby scripts are in
system path and run them?

Best regards,

-h

[NTG-context] New bib beta (release candidate)

2006-02-05 Thread Taco Hoekwater
Hi all,

I have finally uploaded a new beta for the bib module. I really
hope this is the last one before a normal release in a week or
two.

   http://tex.aanhet.net/bib/m-bib-beta-20060205.zip

I do not intend to do any more work on the still open limitations/
wishlist at this time, because synchronisation with the standard
context distibution is becoming an issue. Only the documentation
still needs to be fixed, and of course any fatal bugs that may be
in this beta.

Compared to the november 23 beta, the following things have
changed (many thanks to the people who pointed out bugs and
submitted fixes):

   * Make right-aligned labels work even if autohang=no
   * Use 'et al.' instead of 'et.al.'.
   * Additional headtext for cz
   * Keep whitespace after \cite with single argument
   * Fix broken \cite-with-braced-argument
   * Fix \usepublications not finding it's files
   * Fix compressed version of authoryear style
!!* Renamed the \url and \type to \biburl and \bibtype

Most of those are only fixes and should not bother you, but
watch out for that last one, it breaks compatibility.
I really had to do this, because \url and \type clashed
heavily with predefined context commands, but it invalidates
some existent bbl files, sorry.


Cheers, Taco

It works for me. But your definition of success may be different

[NTG-context] extra space after \quote, \quotation

2006-02-05 Thread Alan Bowen
\quote and \quotation generate an unwanted space after the closing  
quote or quotation mark.

To see the problem, try
\starttext
(\quote{Hello world!})
(\quotation{Hello world!})
\stoptext

Is this old news or an artefact of recent changes?

Best, Alan

Thanks a lot. This gives me A, B, etc. I added

\setuphead[subsection]
   [separator=-]

to get a dash between the section number and subsection. In the 
context manual, separator is not documented in \setuphead but rather 
in \setupheads. I just tried it, crossed my fingers and it worked :)

Thanks,

Gerben, David,

I think the technique I documented here:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Texmf.cnf
...is probably a good compromise for one or the other of you. It doesn't 
compromise the system as a whole, but it does compromise/add-feature for 
ConTeXt.

Oop. Sorry, I hadn't been watching that.
I've suggested texnansi as a starting point, at least within ConTeXt. 
What symbols do people want that *aren't* within texnansi?

(Hint:
  Here are some symbols present in some Unicode-y fonts, but there's

I found the cause of the problem there was a problem with the value I was passing to \chapter{} that prevented the chapter title from being shown in the ToC.I've a second ToC related question.Is it possible to more text to a ToC entry? As I want to list both chapter titles and the author.
Something like:[chapter-title][author].[page no.]Elliot
