HI Sanjoy!

Isn't texlive in ubuntu? Maybe not in 6.10.
Well all the forces are necessary, tetex and context provide some same
files in /usr/bin
The buglet: The context formats that the package installed in
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex are not found. For example, pdfetex
'cont-en' tries to run mktexfmt. So I made a symlink from

/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex to /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex and then
'texexec' worked fine on my current document (a 50-page mathematics
textbooklet).
(BTW, can you send me this file in private with all support stuff, I

I'm pretty sure the problem arose because I now use pdftex 1.40.0,
which (I think) sets the engine to pdftex, even when it is called as
pdfetex.
Umpf, yes. Well. If you prefer to hack everything yourself you have to
expect bad things...
Not sure what the best solution is. The symlink is a bit of a hack.
THere is none. Stick with pdf(e)tex as shipped by tetex.
In the long run, it's good to get rid of the pdfetex/pdftex
This will be in TeX Live 2006...
engine. So until all surrounding programs are taught to use pdftex as
the engine, this problem will occur and maybe the symlink is the
solution.
All this will go into texlive-* 2006, as there is pdftex 1.40.0
Before I did the dpkg --force..., I was trying to simulate its effect
in a custom script. So I looked through the ctxfmtutil script and was
surprised to find that this texexec command (on line 38) worked:

Re: [NTG-context] debian context updates
Isn't texlive in ubuntu? Maybe not in 6.10. It is there, but if you've upgraded from 6.06, you start and remain with tetex. But I've just managed to get rid of the tetex packages and replace them with the texlive ones. I installed the 7.04 tex-common package (0.42) by hand , and could then install your context packages (which need tex-common = 0.35) without any --force. Progress!

From the texexec man page:

Perform a final run without skipping anything. This option is

So --fast --final could be the pair of switches to add. But I tried
an experiment with mediocre results, using this test file:

I ran it with the attached Makefile, which produced this output:
ctxtools --purge --all /dev/null
rm -f q.pdf
texexec --verbose --fast --final q.tex run.log
Total runs: 4 (counted by grepping run.log for running: pdfetex)
Draftmode runs: 3 (counted by grepping run.log for pdfdraftmode)
TeXExec | runtime: 7.987485
Then I commented out the first line and reran it:
ctxtools --purge --all /dev/null
rm -f q.pdf
texexec --verbose --fast --final q.tex run.log
Total runs: 4
Draftmode runs: 0 (just to check)
TeXExec | runtime: 8.307869
So the draftmode saves 4% in the runtime. But the fastest is to not
use the draftmode and not use --final (which causes an extra run).
Maybe I missing a trick, but the draftmode didn't save much time. I
guess I should make the test file read in a few huge images?
try bigger stuff, say a file with some 100 meg pictures and 25 fonts ; that's
what draftmode is for (one of those ideas that popped up during eurotex 2006 at
our usual pdftex dev chat).

thanks again!
Do you want to say that you would like to use an existing font on your
system for those symbols? What about using XeTeX?
The following example is not very ConTeXt-ish, but it should work (if
you got the unicode glyph right):
\font\astro='name of your font with astro symbols or unicode font'
\def\neptune{{\astro ♆}}

I'm typesetting a journal. I use \chapter to divide it into articles.
I've defined my own heads, and I need to redefine \appendix, however
despite reading the manual I cant get them behave as I want.
Problems:
1. Each article may have appendices. I've tried defining my own
'appendix' head to replace the default one, but I can't decide which
to use, should I derive from chapter or section? The problem with
using section as the base, is that the count from my previous sections
is inherited. I don't want numbers of the form 1.1, 1.2, etc, either.
I want to number my appendices independently, starting from 1 without
the chapter number. Also, I would like to use roman numerals.
You can separate the appendices by a section block. For example
% appendix is already a section block. By default, a section
% block starts a new page, you may not want that in a journal
\setupsectionblock[appendix][page=]
% Change the conversion for sections in appendices.
\setupsection
[section-3]

\starttext
\section{Test}
\startappendices
\section{An Appendix}
\stopappendices
\stoptext
HTH,
Yep. Thanks.
I am now using section blocks to create meta-sections, so that inside
the body-matter sections have no numbers whilst the appendices do. It
works great.
One minor problem though. I need the appendices to have labels, like:
Appendix I, etc..
\setuplabeltext[appendix=Appendix] does not work in this situation
what is the correct way of doing it?
You also need to tell context to use the labeltext, by saying
\setuphead
[section]
[appendixlabel=appendix,
placehead=yes]
% Make sure that \setuplabeltext[section=] is empty.
% By default it is empty.
Thanks. That does the trick.

I did both, and both work methods work - I haven't tried to reuse the deprecated version though.

In my case there were only format files. I had to do that because I got format file mismatch - there were ConTeXt formats in there, but they were older as they should be. Probably it would be OK if I just regenerated the formats again. Don't bother too much. If something causes you troubles, just rename the whole tree.

[NTG-context] staticMPfigure problem with \runMP[TEX]graphicsfalse
Not sure if the following are new behaviors or are the correct ones but
I'm just misunderstanding. The following jjj.tex file doesn't correctly
generate and include the static metapost figure unless I set
\runMPgraphicstrue and \runMPTEXgraphicstrue in cont-sys.rme and set
shell_escape = t.
If \runMPgraphicsfalse and \runMPTEXgraphicsfalse but shell_escape = t,
then the generated pdf figure is only 1pt wide but is included. If all
settings are false, then there's a grey square saying 'dummy' etc.
It all works fine if all three settings are true.
But I thought that one can leave all three settings false, and texexec
will still produce the same pdf just with more runs?
This is with context 2006.12.27 (from the Debian context package),
pdftex 1.40.0, metapost 0.993, plus mostly texlive 2005.
=== begin: jjj.tex ==
