[NTG-context] No header line on chapter page + potential columnset problem?
Hi there, I'm having problems with removing the header background from a chapter start page. I'm using \setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on] \setupheadertexts[part][chapter] for a header line and part/chapter texts, and \setupheader[state=empty] to remove the header texts on the first chapter page. But this doesn't remove the header line. And if I'm using \setupheader[state=high] the line goes away, but A) the position of the chapter title moves which I don't like and B) the columnset I'm using runs into the footer on all subsequent pages that do have the header. It seems as if the columnset uses the increased textheight from the first page on all subsequent pages. This is also the case if I use \startcolumns \stopcolumns. Without columns the text doesn't run into the footer. If anyone is interested to look into this, I've got a 25 line minimal example. I'm using Miktex 2.4.1461 on Windows XP SP2 and have updated the context package this morning to ver: 2006.04.24 23:37 fmt: 2006.5.16, but since I'm not a wizard in diagnostics it may still be a problem with my installation. But I would really prefer to be able to remove the header background on the first chapter page anyhow. I don't like to use the state=high option because I'd like the chapter title to stay where it is...

So my wonder is what cause the difference between texmfstart texexec --xetex file.tex and texexec --xtx file.tex.(no output with errors and good output). I am sorry to list this which is the problem for me only. Since my TeX-knowledge is very short, I couldn't do anyting but testing.

Usually, one can build dynamicaly (default) variable environment at the start of a programm (i.e. in the same process and sub-process), then let the original environment untouch while ending the programm. this is what texmfstart --tree= texexec does; it sets env vars specified in either setuptex.tmf in the path mentioned as tree, or some specific tmf file; those tmf files are platform independent. this is how i run multiple (different trees) on one machine (say a web server); Thank you very much. So I can do a little texexec script, add its path in front of the global path (so that it will be found before any standard old ConTeXt distrib) and use the new texexec shell script as the main context executable as usualy. The main avantage over my previous proposal is that it doesn't even require adding a new path in the PATH environment variable (which already is quite accectable!). I don't know much about context, but if you use some texmfstart laucher, it could have the responsability of that job). In fact, I'd like to only have to add some PATH for using a personnal full ConTeXt distribution near another standard LaTeX (containing obolate Context) this is what in regular distributions texmf-local is for Yes, but the texmf-local is part of a particular directory from a particular network or host. And I like to separate my own (full, independant, robust, ...) ConTeXt environmement from the several LaTeX distrib I use (e.g. my unix/osX account is mirror via rsync between hom, work, and another network. LaTeX will probably become again my main xTeX environment, but I'd like to be able to switch ponctualy to a recent ConTeXt distro, without hacking and breaking my main TeX environment. in that case, just put the latest context in your main tree (unzip cont-tmf in texmf-local or so); that should work as always No, because of recent font (lm) probleme, I decided to keep a full context distrib (linuxtex.zip + macosxtex.zip + justtex.zip) in my personnal home directory. I positionned this environment with some setuptex variante before using context program (with all previous problems when comming back to LaTeX) Because the Makefile should work on all plateform (and in a year or two also if possible!) I use only the standard texexec (instead of texmfstart and path argument). But if you say texmfstart become the standard way: I'd switch to! well, you can still use texexec.rb instead of texexec.pl and avoid texmfstart; it's just that then you need to keep an eye on when texexec changes Do you mean that texexec.rb is clever enought to guess its ows directory tree ? Great, that what I asked for ;-) (and if texexec.rb becomme the standard texexec tool the problem is solved (no more need to do a small texexec shell script) but... ... for context programme only, but what about other tools (metapost, mp2pdf...) Just a remark in that case: texmfstart seems a bad name, bacause not related to ConTeXt Why not simply context or ctx as the main ConTeXt tool?) because i use it to run anything organized in a tree (e.g. xsltproc); running context progies i just part of the game Ok, I can always make an alias ctx for texmfstart --tree=... alias ctx=texmfstart --tree=/home/myHome/myLocl/fullcontext perhaps it solves all problem at a time!

[NTG-context] ConTeXt, XeTeX for Linux and xdvipdfmx
Hi,
It seems that some things doesn't work well with ConTeXt and XeTeX for Linux.
For example image inclusion (jpg, png, pdf) with \externalfigure or
\useexternalfigure doesn't work, but does with xdvipdfmx \special's
(\special{pdf: image ...}). Also, \setuppapersize doesn't work (e. g.
\setuppapersize[A5][A5] does the same as \setuppapersize[A5][A4], being A4
the default).
But \color seems to work well.
Are these ConTeXt bugs (related to \special's) or Linux XeTeX-xdvipdfmx bugs?
Thanks in advance,
Ricard

propose a calling / configuration syntax for the ConTeXt version?

I don't know if it's doable or if it breaks the consistency of the current

\startbibentry[name][\startpublication options]
\setupcite[name][what][options] (name optional)
\cite[name][what][ref] or \cite[what][name:ref] (name optional)
To keep the current interface, a default global publication list could
exist:
\setuppublicationlist = \setupbiblist[publication]
\startpublication = \startbibentry[publication]
\placepublications = \placebiblist[publication]
\setupbibtex = \setupbibfile[publication]
Example of use:
% the specs come only from bibtex files
\definebiblist[specs][criterium=all]
\setupbibtex[specs][database={spec1,spec2},sort=short]
\definebiblist[manuals][criterium=all]
\setupbibtex[manuals][database=manbase,sort=short]
% also an embedded definition for the manuals
\startbibentry[manuals][k=me,t=manual,a=Hoekwater,y=2006]
\author[]{Taco}[T.]{}{Hoekwater}
\title{Publication Module}
\stopbibentry
% all the biblio stuff
\definecombinedbiblist[allbibs][specs,manuals][criterium=all]
% let's go
\starttext
\chapter{The doc}
\section{References in the chapter}
\subsection{Specifications}
\placebiblist[specs][criterium=cite]
\subsection{Manuals}
\placebiblist[manuals][criterium=local]
\section{Introduction}
As explained in \cite[manuals][key][me]...
\chapter{References Summary}
\placecombinedlist[allbibs]

What is not clear for me:
- if the bibentry numbering must be global or could restart to 1 for each
list,
- if it is really feasible to place the biblists several times in the doc,
and if so, to which list the \cite actually points to.
I hope that all of this doesn't sound too stupid :-)

{\tfc The \inframed[foregroundstyle=\BigFont,frame=off]{ 7}\high{th} Seal}
or
{\tfc The \inframed[foregroundstyle=\BigFont,frame=off]{ 7\high{th}} Seal}
depending on what you want.
is \startalignment used for this?
I think that startalignment is only for horizontal alignment, but I
may be wrong here.

Re: [NTG-context] spurious space before section heading but only in pdf mode
From:frantisek holop [EMAIL PROTECTED] hmm, on Sat, Apr 08, 2006 at 11:12:56PM +0100, Sanjoy Mahajan said that Thanks, those two space removals in enco-pfr.tex fix it. I guess when I upgrade to pdftex 1.30 I'll unchange it. it seems that people are more afraid to upgrade their pdftex than context. in my opinion upgrading context is much harder, there are much more things which can go wrong. Upgrading context is easy now that I keep it in ~/texmf/, so updates to the Debian tetex packages don't overwrite or shadow the latest context. My worry about upgrading pdf(e)tex is that when I do the next apt-get update apt-get upgrade then my pdftex 1.30 will get wiped out by the v1.21 that comes with the slightly updated tetex-3.0. Then I'll have to regenerate the context formats (the apt-get upgrade will regenerate only the system formats, not my own). Already this overwriting happens with metapost 0.91: After upgrading the tetex, it gets returned to 0.63 or something like that. So I keep the 0.91 install tree around and wrote a Makefile to reinstall it over the 0.63 version (Taco has put that Makefile in the metapost distribution). But I'd like to minimize the amount of homebrew administration, which is why I keep my hands off pdftex. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
