Re: [NTG-context] on block quotes
Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for your improvements and corrections. I always appreciate your lessons! Best wishes Idris I think this is a goog idea but your definition is a little bit to long. \definedelimitedtext [blockquote][quote] \startvariables all blockquote: blockquote \stopvariables \definedelimitedtext [\v!blockquote][\v!quotation] \setupdelimitedtext [blockquote] [location=margin, left=, right=, leftmargin=standard, ] \setupdelimitedtext [\v!blockquote] [\c!left=, \c!right=] location=margin is a default value and set with \definedelimitedtext and leftmargin=standard is taken from quotation. I'm working on a context utility that I want to distribute when done and we need a standard, quotes-empty blockquote mechanism. This way we can leave \quote and \quotation alone.

The first file [1] provides support for the fonts from the wiki page for chinese [3], the only thing you have to do is to unzip my file in a local TeX tree and to place the fonts files in the truetype directory. The second file [2] has support for the cwTeX fonts (cwTeX is a chinese TeX distribution), they look a little bit different and you have to download the fonts from their site [4].To use the fonts unzip my archiv from the module section in your TeX tree and put the truetype fonts in the corresponding folder. You can choose between fonts with centered punctuation or punctuation at the baseline, use only one of them because both have the same files names.

[NTG-context] [OT]UK TeX FAQ, v3.17, released
From http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction=yes What is ConTeXt? ConTeXt is a macro package developed by Hans Hagen of Pragma-Ade. ConTeXt is a document-production system based, like LaTeX, on the TeX typesetting system. Whereas LaTeX insulates the writer from typographical details, ConTeXt takes a complementary approach by providing structured interfaces for handling typography, including extensive support for colors, backgrounds, hyperlinks, presentations, figure-text integration, and conditional compilation. It gives the user extensive control over formatting while making it easy to create new layouts and styles without learning the TeX macro language. ConTeXt's unified design avoids the package clashes that can happen with LaTeX. ConTeXt also integrates MetaFun, a superset of MetaPost and a powerful system for vector graphics. MetaFun can be used as a stand-alone system to produce figures, but its strength lies in enhancing ConTeXt documents with accurate graphic elements. ConTeXt allows the users to specify formatting commands in English, Dutch, German, French, or Italian, and to use different typesetting engines (PDFTeX, XeTeX, Aleph, and soon LuaTeX) without changing the user interface. ConTeXt is developed rapidly, often in response to requests from the user community. *ConTeXt doesn't yet have quite such a large developer community as does LaTeX, but those developers who are active seem to have prodigious energy.*Support is available via a WIKI site and via the mailing list. * * (my bold-italic) Thank you very much , Mr. Fairbairns -- luigi ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] rotate bug?
Hi,
This morning I used \rotate to correct some slightly sloped graphics and
noticed a weird behavior. In case of the rotation angle interval (-1,0)
the negative sign is simply ignored, so the rotation goes to the
opposite direction.
Donno if negative values for the rotation angle are allowed (they
normally work). But it's easier to handle it this way (sign for
direction of rotation).
@Wolfgang: as workaround, only use positive values or add -360 ;)
(and sorry for my wrong interpretation of your table mail)
@Taco: are you still collecting the ConTeXt bugs?
Best wishes, Peter

[NTG-context] Columnsets and footnote placement

Re: [NTG-context] Some update woes on Linux
Hi again, Sorry for the delay, I was taken with real life worries for a bit. So, I realized I did have some leftovers from an earlier installation attempt. I cleaned everything and reinstalled TeXLive from the CD, from scratch. I will wait a bit before updating ConTeXt again, because right now I just want to access my system fonts (I'm on Linux) with XeTeX and I can't seem to manage to do that anymore. Everything else works. Now I just can't remember what I did back on Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty. When I run: fc-list I do see my fonts listed (after a fc-cache -f). What do I need more? Thanks for all the help!

Re: [NTG-context] Doc to ConTeXt [was Re: HTML to ConTeXt]
Hi to all (Idris, in particular, as we are always dealing with the same problems... ), I just want to share some thoughts about the ol' damn' problem of converting to ConTeXt from Word et al. As I told Andrea: For relatively simple documents (like the kind we use in academic journals) it seems we can now 1) convert doc to odt using OOo 2) convert odt to markdown using As suggest by Idris, I subscribed to the pandoc list, but I have to say that the activity is not exactly like the one on ConTeXt list... So the actual support for ConTeXt conversion is not convincing. More, it's always better to put the hands on your machine... My problem is to convert a series of academic journals in ConTeXt. They come form the Humanities so little structure (basically, mainly body and footnotes). Far from me the idea of automatically doing all the stuff, I'd like to be faster and more accurate in conversion. (No particular interest in figures, they are few, not so much in references: they tends to be typographically inconsistent if done in a WYSISYG environment, so difficult to parse). More, as the journal has already being published we need to work with final pdfs. After wasting my time with an awful pdf to html converter by Acrobat, I discovered this, you may all know: http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/ The html conversion is very very good in resulting rendering and also in sources, but after some tweakings I got interested in the xml conversion it allows. The xml format substantially encodes the infos related to page, typically each line is an element. Plus, there are bold and italics marked easily as b and i I'm still struggling to understand something really operative of XML processing in ConTeXt, so I switched back to Python. I used an incremental sax parser with some replacement. This is today's draft.

Not bad as a first step. I guess that you xml gurus could probably do much easier and cleaner.

Re: [NTG-context] Doc to ConTeXt [was Re: HTML to ConTeXt]
Hi Andrea,
I face a similar issue while organizing large-scale documents
prepared by members of my group (many folks are not conversant
with TeX here and write documents with WORD). My solution was to take their
input through a wiki and convert the HTML to context markup
using filters written with ruby (also see
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/HTML_and_ConTeXt). Converting
HTML syntax to ConTeXt syntax is very do-able.
If it is of any use, I attach the ruby filters I use for
my purpose. BTW, I use a ruby library called hpricot to ease
some of these conversions.
