Re: [NTG-context] problem with texmf-local on Vista
OK the problem becomes clearer. The map files are now fixed, and texexec now complains it cannot find punr8a.pfb. Copying all pfb and afm files to c:\context\texmf-context\font\type1\adobe\univers and refreshing the filename database with mktexlsr allows the document to compile. I have two problems: (1) (The original problem) putting the pfb and afm files in texmf-local and updating filename database does not work. So texmf-local is being ignored. (2) (My real problem, preventing me from using my own setups) \input basic-template where basic-template.tex is in the local tree is an error and the file will not compile. However, I get this: C:\Users\Christopherkpsewhich basic-template c:/Users/Christopher/Library/texmf/tex/sources/user/basic-template.tex C:\Users\Christopher So for some reason texexec is not using kpsewhich to find setups.

If not, there might even be a problem with files themselves or with typescripts. (It looks like you have used the files before, but an extra check would not hurt.)

I tested Taco's executables on Windows 7 and they seem to work ok, but I can confirm that what's currently in distribution is broken on windows. (Which means that Hans either needs to take Taco's executables or completely remove them from distribution and I'll add them in minimals separately.) But then again ... I forgot to test texexec.exe, luatools.exe and mtxrun.exe run just fine. (2GB of ram hardly suffices to run windows inside VM since OSX with Safari alone takes it all, but I'll try to test again later.)

dosetupidentity stopped doing anything. (This is a setup for document

Acrobat Document Properties and now I don't, simply from updating

\defineXMLenvironment [meta]

\defineXMLpush[head]
\defineXMLpush[keywords]}
{\dosetupidentity
{\XMLpop{head}}
{\XMLpop{subject}}
{\XMLpop{author}}
{TeX with the ConTeXt macro package}
{}
{\XMLpop{keywords}}

Re: [NTG-context] floats in column sets [was: (no subject)]
I find myself with a similar problem with floats not working. Could I
have a link to 'columns.pdf'. I have searched the website, but no joy.
what do you mean with 'not working', floats in column sets behave
I found columns.pdf, about columnsets. This is useful stuff, but text does not wrap
around images. For example
\placefigure[fxtb:1*1,none]{}{\externalfigure[letwin_101001][width=2.5cm, lines=7]}
drops an image in the right place, but it is floating in the centre of the column.
There is really no way of getting text to wrap around an image, like I was expecting.

Re: [NTG-context] newbie question about xml
It would be wonderful if I could find an easy way to translate my ConTeXt source-files to html. So I was wondering if going via xml would XML in Context is designed for those who plan to set up an XML workflow, and need PDF output. Certainly I use example, but as part of existing workflow starting from XML source. I use XSLT to produce HTML, and Context offers no help here. There was some discussion on this list about adapting T4Ht for Context before Christmas, so check the mailing list. 3) If I understand xml in context correctly, one has to specify quite a few of the xml commands in a dtd so ConTeXt understands them. I had a Use a header file with your example commands in it. A DTD is used for parsing XML, and is really if different ball-game.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not that I see the purpose of using Word in the frist place. Any decent editor has enough macro power to do the same. -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta You missed the point. You markup and style your document using Word styles, and then XML is a matter of search and replace. I am not interested in Word per se, but I find using emacs to insert markup during document creation gets in the way of my thought processes. This way I can push markup worries to the editorial stage. People are fond of pointing out Words vices, and I wouldn't quibble with arguments about its stability, but it is about time OpenOffice and its ilk stopped resting on their laurels and started implementing some macro capability. I notice that AbiWord has a DocBook output format, but how well integrated this is I don't know. On Micro$oft's part if they had some real competition a real market in third-party templates might arrive. As it stands I have a 50% solution that handles footnotes and lists, but re-distribution is hampered by the way Word handles its templates and virus worries. Theoretically I could do tables and limited image markup using the same techniques. Leveraging the visual layout tools of a word-processor makes so much sense I wonder at the mentality of people still struggling with text-editors. I have emacs set up on my machine, but it really looks like back to the future from my point of view. I use WinEdt when I'm booted into Windows. btw you can use the same technique to generate native Context markup. It needs hand-editting, but as a rough draft, this works fine for me, and I don't have to re-invent the wheel every time I have a new document.

If Word hadn't got such a stupid macro installation technology (templates have never been promoted properly by Micor$oft) this would be routine stuff. It would probably be a pain to automatically markup tables, and handling image properties is something I haven't investigated, but as a 50% solution it works for me. As for TOCs and bibliographies, use Context. btw exactly the same technique works for generating LaTeX commands. Context is just so much more elegant.

ConTeXt is very attractive because of its detailed control, layers,

It can obvious produce PDF. Can it also produce HTML and Word from
the same document?
The normal way to get both PDF and HTML is using a XML source.
You know of ConTeXts native XML mode?
AFAIK you can import XML or HTML into MS Office, too, so you need no
real Word DOC output.
Or perhaps there's an other XML to RTF/DOC Konverter...
I know XML source should work, but at least for me, creating XML source
is unproductive. I work with a text editor and find writing this:
``Hello world,'' says HAL.
much more productive than writing this:
p#8220;Hello world#8221;/p, says HAL.
Maybe I'm missing something, but for writing, XML's markup requirements
-- which are invisible to field-based data entry screen -- are way too
intense for hand-editing. TeX source is much less verbose. It is easier
to create, proof (both visually and audibly), spell check
troubleshoot, etc. I have not seen an editor capable of doing XML
source in a productive manner, like (La)TeX with text editor.
This is probably taboo, but surely the smart thing to do is start from Word, generate
some XML with macros, and produce some HTML with stylesheets, some PDF with ConTeXt.
BTW you can generate some simple Context with VB macros and hand-edit -- saves a whole
load of mundane stuff. I can go from a web page to PDF in under 15 minutes using the
Word macros I have for Context.
