Re: [NTG-context] Type-setting filenames
I am using \filename to type-set filenames. Some of these are very long (greater than 30 characters) and overhang the right hand margin, sometimes even disappearing off the edge of the page. The first line break is just before the full stop. There are usually plenty of spaces in the names. Can I get ConTeXt to put a line-break into filenames? Did you try \hyphenatedfilename ? Yes, I tried that, no difference. I presume that \hyphenatedfilename is for use with filenames that already have hyphens in them? Mine don't, but I want them to split. Perhaps splitting filenames is frowned upon - if so, what is the best way to put them into documents? Or perhaps I should use shorter filenames, but why should I compromise readability? One example is Transfer functions for PID and KF controllers.xmcd Any ideas or comments?

[NTG-context] problem finding files (cygwin-related?)
Hi all, I try to help a colleague who has successfully installed ConTeXt using the Windows installer and has started typesetting some documents. His installation has problems finding files. Using something like \input ./path/to/file.tex works OK, but this doesn't: \externalfigure[./path/to/file.pdf] He gets a figure ./path/to/file.pdf can not be found-error, while the same code works OK with my local Windows in a VMware virtual machine. He happens to have cygwin installed (I don't have it) and I was wondering whether that is the course of his problems? How does cygwin interfere with finding the /path/to/the picture file? Can I solve this by escaping the path in some special way? Or would moving the picture to the current directory help? Thanks for any suggestions, Jelle ___ 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 ___

TEXINPUTS was quite useful, because every user could put his own personal directory in it, and there did not need to be an ls-R file. Cheers, Peter Well, no offense, I used to be a big fan of SuSE myself (still like it a lot, but their package manager really needs work). But: I just double-checked, and TEXINPUTS is still set on my 11.0 system - even though I don't have any SuSE-provided TeX-system installed. That's really unpardonable. I can understand why they want to set it for their own TeXLive packages, but not on a virgin system without any TeX component. For an inexperienced user who wants to install TeXLive from DVD or via the net installer, this will be a major obstacle. So I think the point remains valid: SuSE is not a TeX-friendly distribution.

[NTG-context] Updating LuaTeX on MacTeX-TeXLive 2008
Dear ConTeXters,
I just updated my TeX installation with the latest MacTeX-TeXLive
2008, and since the version of LuaTeX included there was 0.25.0, I
built a binary version
LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.29.0-2008091817.
Now the problem is that my usual procedure for generating mkiv doesn't
work and I couldn't fix the problem… (That procedure used to work fine
with the previous version of MacTeX-TeXLive 2008).
More precisely
mtxrun --selfupdate
seems to work fine, but then
luatools --selfupdate
results in:
LuaTools | to be replaced old script /usr/texbin/luatools
LuaTools | unable to locate new script
LuaTools |
LuaTools | runtime: 0.082 seconds
and the command
luatools --generate
apparently works fine, since there is no complaints, as far as I can
see.
Now when I issue the command:
luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en
luatools stops after executing some commands and finally I get:
LuaTools | using lua initialization file cont-en.luc
LuaTools | running command: luatex --ini --lua=cont-en.luc /usr/
local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex \\dump
(/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex
! I can't find file `context.tex'.
l.16 \input context.tex
Please type another input file name:
If I do give a complete path for this file, that is
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/context.tex
(or for another one /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/
base/context.tex)
again luatools complaints about not finding the file syst-pln.tex… and
so on.
I should say that I execute also the commands
export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp
export TEXMFCNF=/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/
export TEXMF={/Users/kavian/Library/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2008/
texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/
2008/../texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist,/usr/local/
texlive/2008/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local}
export LUAINPUTS={/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua}
export OSFONTDIR={/Users/kavian/Library/Fonts,/Library/Fonts}
export TEXMFSCRIPTS={$TEXMF/scripts/context/,$TEXMF/tex/context/base}
before the above.
Since I do most of the operations without really understanding what is
going on, I am sure I am doing something wrong… But what?
Thanks for your help…
Best regards: OK
