Most articles will be shorter than 2m anyway, I hope. If not, smaller
font size is surely one of the possibilities, but I'll worry about
that later (I don't doubt that I'll be bitten by enough ConTeXt bugs
before that will happen).

Thanks for the tip,

Sorry for the false alarm. I deleted and reinstalled everything and
now it works again.

of course such a feature can be added but where does adding such

first a simplication of the example code:

\startMPenvironment[global]
  \usetypescriptfile[type-buy]
  \loadmapfile[texnansi-bh-lucida.map]
  \usetypescript[lucida][texnansi]
  \setupbodyfont[lucida,10pt]
\stopMPenvironment

the global directive makes the env transparent for the doc 

anyhow, the problem is that in a mp to pdf conversion the mapo info got lost; i 
patched texexec a bit and it works ok now here (needs some testing with other 
mp stuff)

strange indeed; anyhow this vector stuff will be dealt ith in pdftex itself 
soon (the problem is that some font things are global in pdftex and then we can

so why not use a small font; if it's cut and pasted in indesign then

  {\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm]} {\placefloatcaption[figure]{two}}

Hi all,
  
I would reserve a page for several figure (i.e. \placefigure).
\placefigure[page] reserve ONE page for ONE figure...
Can \placefigure reserve a page for several figures with an option I

Since I assume \placefigure can do that for me, I don't want to use

[NTG-context] control the number of items in the startitemize environment

Dear Sirs.

I have a large  buffer that include several items packed in a initial 
startitemize environment. Using this list, I want build a several small 
lists with five inital items in the random order.
I try to do in this way, but without success :-((


%
\startsetups SmallList:make

\getbuffer[LargeList]

\stopsetups


\starttext

\startbuffer[LargeList]

\startitemize[1,random,packed][items=5] %%% -- this d'ont work. Why?
\startitem item 1 \stopitem
  \startitem item 2 \stopitem
  \startitem item 3 \stopitem
  \startitem item 4 \stopitem
  \startitem item 5 \stopitem
  \startitem item 6 \stopitem

[NTG-context] linear_shade not working any more

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

It seems to me that the following code worked in some beta 2 weeks ago:

\setupcolors
[state=start]
\definecolor
[BgColor1]
[white]
\definecolor
[BgColor2]
[r=0.7,g=0.7,b=1]

\starttext
\startMPcode
path p; p := unitsquare scaled 3cm;
linear_shade(p,0,\MPcolor{BgColor2},\MPcolor{BgColor1});
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

But with 2006.07.14 I get:

This is MetaPost, Version 0.901 (Web2c 7.5.3)
(shading-mpgraph.mp
>> (1,0,0)
! Isolated expression.

   ;
scaledgray->begingroup.red;
   endgroup
l.286 ...(scaledrgb(0.7,0.7,1,1)),(scaledgray(1,1)
  ));
?

Any suggestions about what could go wrong?

Thank you,

1. not funny
2. extremely ugly

I would do everything in ConTeXt, but I'm not a designer and I don't
dare to take over the whole design. besides that magazines need
sligtly more "individuality" for each page than books.

The most easy solution would be if there was some TeX plugin in
InDesign. The designers (students) only know how to work in ID and
they suggested that they could do the desing in ID if I provided long
columns of text (typeset in TeX) as PDF document. I never worked with
ID (so I don't know how exactly it works), but apparently they're
going to take the PDF document and order the text more or less
graphically on pages. They don't need to modify text any more once
they get the PDF (they don't understand the content anyway ;).

Taco also mentioned some alternatives to ID, but I forgot which ones.

Re: [NTG-context] align question

[Bruce H. Wagner]

Aditya,

Thanks for the information. Since you indicated that \startalign 
worked correctly on your system, I decided that I should first check 
to see if I had the latest Context. After updating, the problems that 
I was having disappeared. So you'll be glad to know that \startalign 
does indeed appear to work as it should. Sorry about the false alarm.

I'll try out the \startmatrix options as well to see if those will 
fit my needs better for some constructions. Thanks for the detailed 
syntax.

indeed, because processing is done in a separate run, not everything

I recently had to typeset a book about steam engineering with some  
formulae.
I would've done it with TeX, but the customer wanted InDesign data to  
be able to make corrections himself (and I wasn't evil enough to  
place TeX generated PDF pages in an ID document).
I can tell you, typesetting formulae in InDesign are not funny!
Maybe they use some Plugin.

This is an implementation limit of AR7: 200inx200in. This can be
overcome by using UserUnit in PDF 1.6: Then you can have up to

Well, uniqueMPgraphic is slightly different for example. It suspect
that staticMP can't handle stuff such as \overlaywidth or PageWidth by
design.

Mm, I'd have misgivings about scaling down any more: a lot of detail 
gets hard to see with the renders, especially with the default LM.

I also suggest scaling down to approximately 0.7 (70%). It's difficult
to tell the exact size, but it's nice if the example fits on 800(?)
pixel wide screen. I have a bad feeling for what the width should be
since I feel claustrophobic on anything below 1200 pixels anyway.

If we agree on a common page size, I could easily put it in there. If
we don't agree on one, I could perhaps say . This would take a few more minutes to implement (I
still have to implement that the source and the results are next to
each other (left/right).)

There is also the ultimate reference

from 285 onwards.

Also, gnuplot can draw bargraphs easily. Mojca's gnuplot module is

But why do I have to do it? I would only like that
\switchtobodyfont[20pt] scales the font properly (according to
whatever definitions are default). I can't define that for all the
possible sizes of the font that I want to use in the document.

\switchtobodyfont[iwona-t5,20pt] works OK, but one command after
another doesn't.

I do not use this too much. I had once tried porting metaobj to 
context, but found that it is easier to use raw metaobj. However, if 
you can come up with what you want a module to do, it is relatively 
straightforward to add context sugar around it.

\headnumber contains an explicit test that surpresses the output if

No, not always (though it seems to be better than without it).

The original string was
align={flushleft,lohi,stretch,verytolerant,nothyphenated}
which surely didn't work, but I have to do some more testing. Does the
order of parameters make any difference?

There is no defined bodyfont at 20pt, and that is what is causing

  This is great for creating new code as well as editing existing one. 
However, is it possible to change the width of the image that is 
created. I fine the default A4 paper width to be too large and 
ususally add a
\setuplayout[width=13cm]
in the context code. Is it possible to do this with the new feature?

While debugging, it helps to know what is happening in the background.
Everything between
\startstaticMPfigure{name}...\stopstaticMPfigure

is written to \jobname-name.mp. A pdf file is generated using
texexec --mpgraphic which creates a temp file in the background with

\starttext
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\startTEXpage
   \convertMPtoPDF{}{1}{1}
\stopTEXpage

\stoptext

This file is compiled using texexec and the output is renamed to 
\jobname-name.pdf

The second part (that is creating a pdf) happens only if the mp file 
did not change, which is checked by comparing the md5 sums. The md5 
comparison can fail rarely. If you want to force a new pdf to be 
created, rm the md5 file.

There is nothing inherently different in the processing of 
staticMPfigure. So anything that works with someotherMP should also 
work in staticMP.

Hope this helps,
Aditya

I swear that they will pay for each single letter that caused us
headaches this year: they'll have to organize the same event by
themselves next year. (But then again: next year both pdfTeX and XeTeX
will hopefully work in a much less painful way.)

But I still can't understand why the following code costed me at least
an hour to trace and find a workaround for it:

\definetypeface [iwona-t5] [ss] [sans] [iwona] [default] [encoding=t5]
\definetypeface [iwona] [ss] [sans] [iwona] [default] [encoding=ec]

I don't know if sometxt is meant to be used as a metapost command. I use it as

\setupcolors[state=start]
\def\nicecommand#1{nice \quotation{#1}}

\starttext
\startMPcode
draw \sometxt{abc \color[red]{def} $\sqrt{x}$ and quote: " \nicecommand{text}};
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

textext had to write the text in a separate file, run its own instance
of ConTeXt and include that one into metapost and consequently into
the original document. It meant:
- being slow
- \def's don't work
- you have to specify everything in MPenvironment since those labels
don't see your earlier definitions in the document

But with \sometxt you can't use mp variables. To some extent you can
so something. See
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060623.224940.fa179b0b.en.html.

Citing myself (from discussion about gnuplot):

I love the new Hans's \sometxt feature, because:
- it uses the same font as in the document without the need to specify
the font separately in MP environment
- no need for uncomfortable way of specifying the definitions/style in
gnuplot-locals.tex (simply all the definitions from the document work,
even \section-s)
- no need for 'verbatimtex ... etex' or for '\def-s' inside metapost
or inside MP environment (which didn't work)
- external figures can be used for points (YUPI :) !!!
- no problems with math and double quotes: I wasn't able to insert
double quotes with textext, now it's trivial
- text is still part of the graphic: can easily be positioned,
colored, shrinked & stretched, ... if I would have to separate it
(according to my first idea), I couldn't use metapost to control the
color, size, ... but I would have to remember the color for each label
separately and the outcome would be different (now I can still place
graphic over text)
- extremely fast

Re: [NTG-context] formula block with align and pagebreak

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hello,

I have often longer equations of the type

\startformula\startalign
 A = b c
 B = c d
 E = g h
\intertext{Some intermediate text}
 F = h j
 G = k l
\stopformula\stopalign

I would like to keep the alignment (per page), however I also would like
to have automatic page breaks inbetween. I can split it manually into
two \startformula\startalign ... \stopformula\stopalign blocks, but this
I would have to adapt any time I change something, which changes the
text length, before that block.

Any idea?

Additional question: Does anyone know why in the example the "Gauss'
law" starts not at the top of the page but roughly two line further down?

Tobias


Page break with math is a bit tricky at the moment. Before I come to 
that, some comments.


Hans, right now zapf.tex reads

\definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery]
\switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg]

Zapf Chancery

\input tufte.tex

Shouldn't that be surrounded by a start/stop (or bgroup/egroup) to 
prevent font changes in the entire document?


Tobias, startintertext/stopintertext are already in the core, so you 
do not need to redefine those in your document.


Now coming back to the main problem of equations not breaking across 
pages. Taco had provided a fix for making this work. There are a few 
issues with math equations breaking across pages, and this is the 
reason that the fix is not in the core. I am attaching Taco's fix, 
keep in mind that this is not final.

Something very strange is happening here. Looks like a typescript 
loading problem. I can not test with lucida (do not have them) but the 
same problem appears with palatino also.

This does not work

\startMPenvironment
   \usetypescript[palatino][ec]
   \setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt]
\stopMPenvironment

\starttext
\startMPpage
   label.top(btex $a$ first etex,origin) ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext


While this works.

   \usetypescript[palatino][ec]
   \setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt]
\startMPenvironment
   \usetypescript[palatino][ec]
   \setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt]
\stopMPenvironment

\starttext
\startMPpage
   label.top(btex $a$ first etex,origin) ;
\stopMPpage

\stoptext


The same thing happens in

\starttext
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\startTEXpage
   \convertMPtoPDF{t1-mpgraph.1}{1}{1}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext

where t1-mpgraph.1 is the eps file created by the first file.

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0

This explains why --mpgraphic switch does not work as expected, and 
thus staticMPfigure does not work.

I do not know how to make this work.

Does adding the keyword stretch in align={...} give what you want:

\def\contestant#1#2#3{\page
\setlayerframed
[page]
[voffset=3cm,
 hoffset=3cm,
 preset=lefttop]

I tested a bit and \framed seems to work OK, but I have no idea how to
prevent the name to extend outside of the frame in the next example:

\setuppapersize
[S6][S6]

%\definetypeface [iwona] [ss] [sans] [iwona] [default] [encoding=ec]
%\setupbodyfont [iwona,12pt,ss]

\setupbackgrounds

\def\contestant#1#2#3{\page
\setlayerframed

[height=6cm,
 width=9cm,
 align={flushleft,lohi,nothyphenated,verytolerant},
 frame=on,
]{{\switchtobodyfont[35pt]\bf #1
#2\crlf}\crlf\switchtobodyfont[30pt]#3}\strut}

\starttext
\contestant{Someone}{Withavery long Surname}{Country}
\stoptext

̣(All those people Withextremelylongnames are already leaving today,
so one problem less now: I had to improvise a bit to get the names
approximately OK on the slides, but I still wonder how to handle the
problem in the future if it arises again.)

Would it be possible to add those definitions somewhere to cont-en.xml?

That's not my problem any more. They asked me to prepare long
continuous text with TeX (so that formulae and everything else will be
OK) - they intend to use the resulting PDF to design a magazine in
InDesign after that (I don't know how they're going to do that, but I
assume that InDesign should be able to handle that - if not, I'll
think about that after the problems arise).

He replied faster than I noted ;) Yes, \startTEXpage it's *the*
solution that I wanted, only the vertical shifting after \subject has
to be fixed somehow.

FWIW, Acrobat 6 and earlier had severe problems with document dimensions 
over 200cm, so keep that in mind for compatibility.

Thank you, that's great! I knew about TEXpage, but never
thought/forgot about such a misuse.

Except for one little (buggy?) detail:

\setuplayout
[width=8.55cm,
 topspace=0cm,
 backspace=0cm,
 header=0pt,
 footer=0pt,
 height=fit,
]

\definepapersize
[infinite]
[width=8.55cm,
 height=60cm]

\starttext
\startTEXpage
\section{bla}
\input tufte
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext

section is too low and consequently the last (few) line(s) are cropped.

The example on http://pub.mojca.org/presek/articles.tex also has the
last page wider than the first two.

Mojca

PS: this last request has nothing to do with the problem above, but I
have a little request if anyone is willing to help me. I need the file
mentioned above (http://pub.mojca.org/presek/article2.tex) to be
typeset in lucida (only to show it to the editor; they'll almost
certainly buy the font, but I need the example faster than I can ask
them to buy the font and figure out how to use it; they gave me 19 pfb
files, but they're dating back to 1990 and it seems to me that there
are not enough files anyway). Is anyone willing to compile the file
above with lucida font and send me the resulting PDF? I would be very
grateful for that.

The last page has a little problem with accents and everything is
shifted down, but I don't mind if they are a bit wrong this time since
it's only an example.

The maximum paper height TeX can handle is approx 575cm, btw.

5m is "inifinite enough" for me (I hope). I only need to fit the whole
article on a single page and I guess that no article will go over this
limit. It would be nice if the paper size could be adjusted
automatically (that's what I meant with infinite) to the length of the
article, but if that would require too much effort, it would probably
be easier if I crop the page after processing it with ConTeXt.

actually, one can put stuff in a vbox till tex's mem overflows, and even split 
off pieces, as long as one does not calculate using the dimensions of a box; 
tex's overflow check only happens when doing explicit calculations

I just realized you can cheat just a little:

\hsize=575cm
\advance \hsize \hsize
\message{\the\hsize} % reports 32720.66928pt ~ 11.5m

A nice one for Pavel's new 'TeX surprises' in eurobachotex
next year.

DVI maybe, but my Acrobat Reader 7 silently drops the bottom off pages
that are higher than 200in (508cm).

Perhaps the mailinglist archive can help you. Look for the terms

Re: [NTG-context] "infinite" paper height

[Ricard Roca]

I think that's not possible because of TeX. TeX limits any dimension to 2^30 
scaled points (~5.75 m).

But that's only the TeX part. I don't know if dvi drivers can combine several 
TeX pages in one printer page infinitely. Possibly any of the PostScript 
tools?

[NTG-context] strange font switching (bug?)

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

can anyone explain this weird behaviour? The accents on the second

using other sizes works as well.).

\setupbodyfont[8pt]

\switchtobodyfont[7pt]

[NTG-context] formula block with align and pagebreak

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

I have often longer equations of the type

\startformula\startalign
  A = b c
  B = c d
  E = g h
\intertext{Some intermediate text}
  F = h j
  G = k l
\stopformula\stopalign

I would like to keep the alignment (per page), however I also would like
to have automatic page breaks inbetween. I can split it manually into
two \startformula\startalign ... \stopformula\stopalign blocks, but this
I would have to adapt any time I change something, which changes the
text length, before that block.

Any idea?

Additional question: Does anyone know why in the example the "Gauss'
law" starts not at the top of the page but roughly two line further down?

Tobias

[NTG-context] staticMPfigure & fonts

[Renaud AUBIN]

Hi all,

Considering the test http://renojrl.lrv.uvsq.fr/testbed/
I have some problems using lucida:

texexec gives some warnings:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+420/600 --dpi
420 texnansi-raw-lbr
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for texnansi-raw-lbr.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.

and the resulting pdf leads to "Could not find a font in the Resources
dictionary"...

Moreover, I don't want to use pk...

How to solve this problem to embed lucida into
test-3d_kin_foreground.pdf ?
Another point: I am affraid that test.pdf embed lucida twice once one
can embed the font into the staticMPfigure's pdf...

May I have to continue with my old MPgraphics or I'd rather replace
them by staticMPfigure ?

Cheers,

Renaud

Take a look if Aditya's remarks on
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mpgraphic can answer some of your
questions.

staticMP... seems to create an intermediate PDF which is reused in the next run

(I had some troubles making some of the functionality work which
otherwise worked in someotherkindofMPgraphic: I don't remember what
exactly it was, perhaps StartPage. I kept using the old command since
I had no time to investigate, but it wasn't any serious problem.)

I would vote for that feature too. With LaTeX you only get
approximately two or three additional files which is still acceptable,
but esp. when using modules such as R and (yet unfinished) gnuplot,
the whole folder becomes pretty messy and you never know what to
delete and what not. It's almost impossible to extend ctxtools to
delete all the necessary files since even PDF files might serve as
"temporary" files in "static" MP figures or as intermediate results of
gnuplot runs, ...

This would have fixed it:

   \setupcite[doi][interaction=stop]

But my next version makes this automatic by checking the value
of the global interaction mode.

There is no superfluous space when I try it, so I cannot reproduce
the problem. Are you sure your local system is loading the right files?

My next upload (momentarily) will support:

after we introduced the mpgraph name there suddenly apeared a similar file in 
the metapost paths; so, in order to prevent loading of that file by mistake, 
(e.g. when not using the prefixing) i create an empty one in the current path. 
the -mpgraph.mp plays a role in determining multiple runs when not in runtime 
graphics mode, but it does not need versioning

Appearantly, only mpgraph.mp is removed by --purge, and --purgeall only gives 
some CtxTools help messages. Hmm ...

Depending on the process you have to maintain (you know, I mentioned Context 
version numbers before ...), you want to version everything except stuff that 
is there and unversioned by intent. At least you want to get warned of new 
files you may have forgotten to put under revision control, and as said, you 
may want to mark the document tainted because of unclean checkouts. The easiest 
approach would be to have a separate directory for non-output related stuff 
like .tmp, .log, .tui, .tuo, .mp, then any other unversioned file would be a 
sign of unallowed modification.

OK, I will simply mark *.tmp, *.log, *.tui and *.tuo as "ignore".

What's the difference between mpgraph.mp and -mpgraph.mp ? The latter 
is not removed when using --purge. Is this by intent? Then I have to put 
*-mpgraph.mp to the ignore list, too.

   directdiscretionary
l.71 enddef \directdiscretionary
 {;}

Cheers,
  

  
  anything funny in your cont-loc/cont-sys or so? 
  


Hi Hans,

The problem is apparently due to
\useencoding[ffr]
\mainlanguage[fr]

without it works well...

All I can say is: It was working well before updating (ConTeXt
2006.06.09 + bib beta 5)... I have just updated cont-tmf...
It's maybe due to \scanurl-related modifications ???

My cont-sys.tex:

[NTG-context] 2006.07.13 release notes (MP-related)

[Renaud AUBIN]

Hi all,


First, I don't understand this part of the release notes:

"supp-mps.tex:


   \startuseMPgraphic and \startusableMPgraphic no longer have an
argument"

Does it mean that we don't have to use \startuseMPgraphic{myMPgrapharg}
... \stopMPgraphic with any myMPgrapharg ?

I assume I've missed something... 
:-\ 


Second, what's the difference between staticMPfigure and
staticMPgraphic and how (and where) can we use it ? Some advice are
welcome in this part because I use a lot of MPgraphic and I'm really
interested to use staticMPXXX if I can save some processing time... ;)

Last but not least:
I've posted some days ago a thread "[NTG-context] A page for figures
?"... This problem is always topical...

Cheers,

Renaud

I see.

Well, then Context could not benefit from "incremental" builds with just one 
run instead of 4 to 5 runs. But I get the idea.

Then, is there a list of files that are automatically created by Context (not 
mentioning files that are manually created as part of TeX output functions and 
such)?

The prime aspect of my question is to have a reasonable list of file names that 
shouldn't be version controlled with the source code. Our scripts automatically 
check for unknown files and mark our documents tainted if the local version is 
not consistent with the repository (say, completely committed and updated). If 
I could instruct context to put all temporary files into a separate directory, 
I could simply put "tmp/*" to the ignore list, and that's it.

Maybe for this task, --purge is reasonable enough. I'll give it a try.

Thanks, Hans!

[NTG-context] Figure. 3

[David Arnold]

All, Anyone know how to get a period after Figure in figure caption.  
I tried:

\setupcaptions[separator=.]
\starttext

\placefigure
[][fig:one]
{Caption.}
{\externalfigure[blank]}

\stoptext


And

\let\floatcaptionsuffix=.

\starttext

\placefigure
[][fig:one]
{Caption.}
{\externalfigure[blank]}

\stoptext


Neither worked.

Re: [NTG-context] Context 2006.07.13 released

Minimal test:

\useencoding[ffr]
\mainlanguage[fr]

\starttext

Un essai, de ponctuation; un autre.

\startuseMPgraphic{testMP}
draw origin--(1cm,1cm);
draw (origin--(1cm,1cm)) rotated 180;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\placefigure[here]{none}{\useMPgraphic{testMP}}

\stoptext


texexec returns:

This is MetaPost, Version 0.901 (Web2C 7.5.3)
(test-mpgraph.mp
>> currentpen.directdiscretionary
! Improper type.

   {
l.145 draw origin--(1cm,1cm)\directdiscretionary {
