 The tick labels are typeset by metapost itself, but the cm is
 typeset externally (by ConTeXt, if you run the garden distribution).
 Metapost is probably using 10pt while ConTeXt uses its default 12pt.
 
  verbatimtex
  \setupbodyfont[10pt]
  etex
 
 or something similar is needed at the top of the file.

Re: [NTG-context] Random numbers in metapost

2009-12-31 Thread David Arnold
Taco et al,

I think I've found a way. Anthony Phan has written a brilliant stats package 
for Metapost.

http://www-math.univ-poitiers.fr/~phan/statsmac.html

I think (haven't tried yet) I can select a number at random from the uniform 
distribution on [0,1], then use one of Anthony's functions such as:

poissonicdf(expr p, lambda). Inverse cumulative distribution function of 
P(lambda).

See Anthony's manual at:

http://www-math.univ-poitiers.fr/~phan/downloads/metapost/statsman.pdf

David.

 Assuming you are using mkiv: create a lua function and use its
 calculated results to create the metapost code. Metapost only knows
 about uniformdeviate and normaldeviate, and metapost is not a good
 language to program mathematics in.

All,

I've recently been playing with a fascinating package tkz-2d (http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/tkz-2d/

I've been using:

All,

I am using Mactex Texlive 2008 on a Macbook pro.

I did this:

sudo ctxtools --updatecontext

After reading http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV, I tried:

sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/ 
current/ /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/
sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/ 
osx-universal/bin/luatex /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/

Then I try:
david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ sudo luatools --generate
And I get:
sudo: luatools: command not found
Then I tried:
david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ luatools --generate
The result was:
-bash: /usr/texbin/luatools: Permission denied
Trying the context command yields the same result:
david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ context --make
Result:
-bash: /usr/texbin/context: Permission denied
So, there is some sort of permissions problem.

We looked at this:

david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ cd /usr/texbin
david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ ls -l lua*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel6 May 13 17:46 lualatex - luatex
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8009384 Aug 13  2008 luatex
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   49 May 13 17:46 luatools - ../../ 
texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua


And tried:

david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ ls -l ../../texmf-dist/ 
scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua
-rw-r--r--  1 33  33  222585 Aug 14 01:50 ../../texmf-dist/scripts/ 
context/lua/luatools.lua


And see that this file is not executable, so we try:

david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ sudo chmod +x ../../texmf- 
dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua


Now the following works.

david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ luatools --generate

But this piecemeal approach to making things executable might go on  
and on. Can someone give a more universal cure? Is there an entire  
directory of scripts that need to be executable?


Thanks.

David

You can try to install context minimals. They will not interfere

For installation instructions see

Re: [NTG-context] MKIV on Mactex Texlive 2008 (Context broken)

2009-09-23 Thread David Arnold

Hans,

My impression from reading installation directions for minimals is  
that when you open a shell, and if you have your .bash_profile  
configured, that setuptex will be sourced. That must set some sort of  
path while the current shell is active? Will that interfere with  
needing to suddenly latex a file?

you should install the minimals alongside (not combined) with  
mactex; the operate isolated and can be updated independently and  
used without interference (issue the setuptex script to switch to  
the minimals tree)

[NTG-context] Mark IV

2009-09-22 Thread David Arnold

All,

Hans recommended I contact the list with my inquiry. I'm running  
Leopard on a Mac, using Mactex, texlive 2008. I've updated my context  
with:


sudo ctxtools --updatecontext

On a first run of ctxtools, I get this error:

loading : ConTeXt Core Macros / Environments
! Undefined control sequence.
argument ...def \...@ea \noexpand \csname \e!start
  \v!setups  
\endcsname {\beg...


\expanded ...\long \xdef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1
  }\@@expanded
l.212 ...xpand\csname\e!stop\v!setups\endcsname}}}

I hit s several time to scroll through the errors til it finishes,  
then run the command again:


sudo ctxtools --updatecontext

This time it seems to complete with no errors. This seem OK to folks?

Now, I'd like to give MKIV a try. I see the following instructions:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV

Are they adequate for my platform? That is, will they work if I follow  
them to the letter? Or do folks have other advice?


Thanks.

[NTG-context] MKIV on Mactex Texlive 2008

2009-09-22 Thread David Arnold

All,

I am using Mactex Texlive 2008 on a Macbook pro.

I did this:

sudo ctxtools --updatecontext

After reading http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV, I tried:

sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/ 
current/ /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/
sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/ 
osx-universal/bin/luatex /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/

Then I try:
david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ sudo luatools --generate
And I get:
sudo: luatools: command not found
Then I tried:
david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ luatools --generate
The result was:
-bash: /usr/texbin/luatools: Permission denied
Trying the context command yields the same result:
david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ context --make
Result:
-bash: /usr/texbin/context: Permission denied
So, there is some sort of permissions problem.

We looked at this:

david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ cd /usr/texbin
david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ ls -l lua*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel6 May 13 17:46 lualatex - luatex
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8009384 Aug 13  2008 luatex
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   49 May 13 17:46 luatools - ../../ 
texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua


And tried:

david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ ls -l ../../texmf-dist/ 
scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua
-rw-r--r--  1 33  33  222585 Aug 14 01:50 ../../texmf-dist/scripts/ 
context/lua/luatools.lua


And see that this file is not executable, so we try:

david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ sudo chmod +x ../../texmf- 
dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua


Now the following works.

david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ luatools --generate

But this piecemeal approach to making things executable might go on  
and on. Can someone give a more universal cure? Is there an entire  
directory of scripts that need to be executable?


Thanks.

David

[NTG-context] \getmyAbstract

2009-09-19 Thread David Arnold

All,

At one time I had a style file that handled my abstract.

\definebuffer[myAbstract]
\startmyAbstract In this activity you will learn how to solve
systems of linear equations using LU decomposition, with both
forward and back substitution.  In addition, you will also be
introduced to function files and a number of \mat's control
structures. {\em Prerequisites: Some knowledge of how to enter
vectors and matrices in \mat. Familiarity with Gaussian
elimination, elementary matrices, and LU decomposition.}
 \stopmyAbstract

In my style file I have things like:

 \midaligned{\bf Abstract}
 \startnarrower[3*middle]
  \noindenting\getmyAbstract
 \stopnarrower

At one time (long ago)  this worked, but now it is throwing this error.

! Undefined control sequence.
\getmyAbstract -\dodoprocessTEXbuffer
   [myAbstract][def-2]
l.218   \getmyAbstract

What is the current workaround for this?

Thanks.

[NTG-context] Miktex

2008-09-30 Thread David Arnold

Mojca,

I saw your note on blog.miktex.org:

If you still want to run ConTeXt on MikTeX while it has been removed,  
you may create a file texmfstart.bat in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7 
\miktex\bin with the content:


@echo off
ruby C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb  
%*


and extract www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip into C: 
\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7. Then, update filename database and  
generate formats, and everything should work again.


Mojca

I followed this advice, installed texmfstart.bat, unzipped cont- 
tmf.zip properly, updated the filename database, then got stuck.


At the dos prompt:

$ texmfstart --help

Worked just fine. However,

$ texmfstart texexec --help

Did not work. What am I missing? If I recall I'll need to do:

$ texmfstart texexec --make --all

Or some such thing.

XP. I got to a point today where I selected the formats tab in the  
Miktex Settings gui, and tried to build cont-en there. It objected  
that it could not find cont-en.ini in tex/something or other so I  
tried moving cont-en.ini from the context distribution to tex/ 
something or other and updating the filename database to no avail.

I'll give your idea of no spaces a try tomorrow. Meanwhile if you can  
think of anything less drastic, as I have to do this on 20 different  
machines, 

Thanks so much.

David.

 If you still want to run ConTeXt on MikTeX while it has been  
 removed, you
 may create a file texmfstart.bat in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7 
 \miktex\bin
 with the content:
 @echo off
 ruby C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby 
 \texmfstart.rb %*
 and extract www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip into C: 
 \Program
 Files\MiKTeX 2.7. Then, update filename database and generate  
 formats, and
 everything should work again.
 Mojca
 I followed this advice, installed texmfstart.bat, unzipped cont- 
 tmf.zip
 properly, updated the filename database, then got stuck.
 At the dos prompt:
 $ texmfstart --help
 Worked just fine. However,
 $ texmfstart texexec --help
 Did not work. What am I missing? If I recall I'll need to do:
 $ texmfstart texexec --make --all
 Or some such thing.

 Can you please try what happens if you install MikTeX in some folder
 with no spaces in base path?

Re: [NTG-context] mswincontext.zip

2008-08-28 Thread David Arnold
I followed these directions exactly and scite is working out of the  
box on mswincontext.zip.

To remove RubyGems from a single Ruby installation, from the
site_ruby/1.8 directory of that installation, remove:

* rubygems.rb (file)
* rubygems (directory)

If you do not have RubyGems installed in other Ruby installation
directories, you can also remove the following files from whatever
command directory is listed in your PATH:

* gem
* gemwhich
* gem_server
* gem_mirror
* generate_yaml_index.rb

And if you are removing RubyGems completely, don't forget to remove the
RUBYOPT environment variable from your environment.

Without actually trying it, I think that will do it.


D.


I also added import metapost in scite, but not all of the menu items  
on the tool menu work, in fact most of them don't work. Ctrl+6  
doesn't open the console, I can't get gsview to work instead of gv, etc.

 mswintex is just a zipped minimal

 After first-setup was complete, I ran cscite.bat. Scite opened.  
 Good! I entered the usual test file:

 And saved as test.tex.

 one option is to let setuptex be executed when you open a cmd

 then start scite from that (it's what i do here, since i do much on  
 the
 console)

 then scite knows in which env it lives

 Then I tried Tools-Compile, which resulted in this error mesage:

 texmfstart concheck test.tex
 ruby: no such file to load--ubygems (LoadError)

 might be some conflict between the ruby in the zip and the installed
 one; this gems stuff overloads the 'require' function in an  
 incompatible
 way (as idris suggested, get rid of gems)

[NTG-context] mswintex.zip versus mswincontext.zip

2008-08-27 Thread David Arnold
Hans et al,

For our students, I need to have Miktex and at least one of these  
distributions (mswintex.zip or mswincontext.zip) coexisting side by  
side.

I've got Miktex installed and working with the Texniccener IDE for  
student use.

Now, I need to get context and metapost working properly (no longer  
any mptopdf in the Miktex distro). Students don't deal well with DOS  
boxes and terminals at first (they can grow into them), so what I  
need is a scite icon on the desktop, that when clicked, will open and  
work (for context and metapost).

I had already loaded mswintex.zip on each machine in our lab, run  
first-setup.bat. I also installed Scite by downloading from the  
scintilla site. I finally figured out that you need to import context  
in the Globals, though (the http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ 
mscite-p.pdf said it should work in user as well, which I could not  
get to work.

So, as I understand it now, the difference is the mswincontext.zip  
comes with perl and ruby, but we already have perl and ruby  
installed. If I get rid of the gems (how?) then I should be able to  
make progress?

What I need is students to have both scite and texniccenter running  
at the same time. What are my best options?

Thanks.

D.

[NTG-context] Some Progress on Installing mswincontext.zip

2008-08-27 Thread David Arnold

All,

As Idris and Hans expected, Ruby was the culprit. I had installed  
Ruby before downloading mswincontext.zip, as that was what I used to  
do in the old days with a Miktex installation.


After following exactly these directions:  http:// 
blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/173018


Scite now works on context documents.

I tried to add metapost.properties to the global with import  
metapost. I can Build a file, but the Go command does not work  
because I don't have gv installed. So I opened metapost.properties  
and tried changing the gv command to gsview32 (and even tried c: 
\Program Files\ghostgum\gsview\gsview32.exe), but neither worked.


Any suggestions how I can get the go command to work?

Secondly, what would I do to compile a metapost file in scite  
directly into PDF? I am aware of context way with processMPbuffer and  
other assorted tricks, and I am aware of mptopdf, but what I am  
looking for is to configure Scite to compile the metapost file and  
open it in acrobat reader.


Here is the test file I am trying to compile.

beginfig(1);

numeric u; 10u=4in;
drawdblarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0);
drawdblarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u);

endfig;

end.

Re: [NTG-context] mswincontext.zip

2008-08-26 Thread David Arnold
Idris,

Thanks. I'm a Mac person at home now, so I'll have to wait until  
tomorrow to give this a try on a windows machine at school. What I'll  
try (unless I get further advice from this list) is download  
mswincontext.zip again, uninstall it, and NOT run first-setup.bat.

Regarding Ruby, I am looking at this page: http://www.ruby-lang.org/ 
en/downloads/, where it seems like I have two options:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29263/ruby186-26.exe

And:

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.7-i386- 
mswin32.zip

Not sure I see anything on this page about without RubyGems. Any  
advice?

D.

[NTG-context] Version Information on each page of text

2007-07-04 Thread David Arnold
Hi,

I'd like to put the phrase Version: Fall 2007 on each page of our  
intermediate algebra textbook.

On even-numbered pages, I'd like to put it in the lower left corner  
of the page, in odd-numbered pages, I'd like it in the lower right  
corner of the page.

I'd like it to be well below the area where footnotes are posted so  
as not to interfere with foonotes.

Any suggestions?

[NTG-context] We have a problem --- Old file no longer compiles

2007-07-04 Thread David Arnold
Hi,

In setting out to update our intermediate algebra textbook for the  
fall semester (http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText/), I've found  
that a file that would formerly compile under a previous version of  
context will no longer compile.

There are three decimal places, so

Shortanswer and longanswer are blocks. Startanswer is an enumeration.  
I've tried this in other files and gotten similar errors, which seem  
to be tied to the frac command.

Can anyone help?

Re: [NTG-context] We have a problem --- Old file no longer compiles

2007-07-04 Thread David Arnold
Here is another example, this time not within a block, but within an  
enumeration again:

The source:

\startproperty
   Let $a$ and $b$ be any numbers such that $a=b$. Then, if $c$ is  
any number other than zero,

\placeformula[-]
\startformula
   ac=bc.\index{equations+multiplication}
\stopformula

If $c$ is any number other than zero, then

\placeformula[-]
\startformula
   \frac ac=\frac bc.\index{equations+division}
\stopformula

\stopproperty

Where property is defined:

\defineframedtext[MyBox]
\definemeasure[BoxWidth][\textwidth]
\defineblank[BoxBlank][medium]

\setupframedtexts
[MyBox]
[width=\measure{BoxWidth},
before={\blank[BoxBlank]},
after={\blank[BoxBlank]},
background=color,
frame=no,
location=middle]

\setuplabeltext[property=Property]

\defineenumeration
[Default]
[location=serried,
width=broad,
text=\labeltext{},
headstyle=bold,
inbetween=\blank,
before=\blank,
after=\blank,
way=bysection,
sectionnumber=no,
number=yes,
right=.]

\defineenumeration
[property]
[Default]
[text=\labeltext{property},
before={\startMyBox[backgroundcolor=lavender]},
after=\stopMyBox,
way=bysection,
sectionnumber=no]


And the error. Again, the \frac command seems to be the culprit.

Re: [NTG-context] We have a problem --- Old file no longer compiles

2007-07-04 Thread David Arnold
Aditya,

Thanks for the reply. As far as I know, we don't explicitly import  
newmat in our environment files:

trunk $ grep usemodule *
bookenv-clean1-base.tex:\usemodule[math-ext]
bookenv-clean1-colors.tex:\usemodule[colors]

As  you can see, we do use the module math-ext.

Yes, it is getting loaded:

Turns out it's not in our style files, but in the exercise file that  
I am compiling:

\usemodule[math-ext]

 Firstly, you do not use to explicitly use math-ext. AFAIU, it is
 included automatically. Secondly, something in your setup is including
 newmat, because \dogenfrac is defined in newmat. Look into the log
 file or the tui file for newmat. If newmat is not being loaded, then
 something strange is happening.

 Notice that all the lines are not of the same size. It seems that the

 Also am I missing a scaling factor in width= expressions above.
 Everything looks fine with unitsize=1mm, but the final figure is
 clearly larger than 16mm. I am confused as to what is happening.

 Is there any better way to do this?

 Thanks,
 Aditya

 Hi Aditya,

 you wanted something like this

 \newdimen\scale \scale\1mm
 \def\rule#1{\hrule width #1\scale}
 \rule{10}

 but you made this

 \def\scale{1mm}
 \def\rule#1{\hrule width #1\scale}
 \rule{10}

 The length of the \hrule in the first example is 10pt (10 \times  
 1pt = 10pt),
 while in the second example it is 101pt width (10  1pt = 101pt).

Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX problem

2007-06-06 Thread David Arnold
All,

I got myself in trouble by using gwTeX  i-installer and tried to use  
Context Updater. The result was that the format files didn't match  
the base files (error message). Then I tried ctxtools --update. Now I  
have the font problem error described below.

Here's part of a log file prior to my problem.

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.0-rc4 (Web2C 7.5.5)

You can see that it is using this path:  usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs.

After my attempts at updating, note that it is now using an entirely  
different area of my tex tree:

Note the path: /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local

I think what I should have done after using i-installer, is try using  
texmfstart texexec --make --all.

Not sure how best to proceed. Does ctxtools have an uninstall? Does  
ctxtools install in texmf.local by default?

 Usually this is because latin modern fonts are not present. Try to

If your question is of interest

Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX problem

2007-06-06 Thread David Arnold
Latin modern fonts have names like what?

Where are they installed in your tree?

Where can I get these fonts?

At what point in my tree do I place the zip file and then what  
command do I use to unzip them?

Thanks, Aditya. Your help is appreciated.

I would have never messed with my installation but I tried your first  
example in section 4, page 4 of:  http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/ 
mathalign.pdf and got two equations but three numbers! (1) (2) and  
(3). So I thought that might be a bug and I hadn't updated context in  
some time, so here I am, hammered again

Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX problem (I'm back)

2007-06-06 Thread David Arnold
Aditya et al,

The cure follows:

1. Use GW's i-installer to: Update gwTeX based on Texlive

During this installation and configuration, I am confronted with a  
warning that I have some personal tex setttings and  This is  
true, as I have some stuff in ~/Library/texmf/.

2. Update gwTeX Support: Context Updater.

Run:

texmfstart texexec --make --all

Watching carefully, I see formats going into ~/Library/texmf/web2c/  
and ~/Library/texmf/web2c/pdflatex/.

And I am back. All is well.

There are still two things I am unsure of:

1. Does GW's Context Updater install Context in texmf.local?

2. Which context installation does ctxtools  --updatecontext update?  
Does it interfere with GW's installation?

[NTG-context] Beautiful source code

2007-06-04 Thread David Arnold
Hans,

I'm revisiting the metafun manual and I am marveling at the format of  
the source code. For example:

\starttabulate[|lT|l|]
\HL
\NC \METAPOST\ code \NC mathematical equivalent \NC \NR
\HL
\NC (x,y) shifted (a,b) \NC $(x+a,y+b)$ \NC \NR
\NC (x,y) scaled  s \NC $(sx,sy)$   \NC \NR
\NC (x,y) xscaled s \NC $(sx,y)$\NC \NR
\NC (x,y) yscaled s \NC $(x,sy)$\NC \NR
\NC (x,y) zscaled (u,v) \NC $(xu-yv,xv+yu)$ \NC \NR
\NC (x,y) slanted s \NC $(x+sy,y)$  \NC \NR
\NC (x,y) rotated r \NC $(x\cos(r)-y\sin(r),x\sin(r)+y\cos(r))$  
\NC \NR
\HL
\stoptabulate

Pasting into my email program does not do this code snippet justice,  
as in the Metafun source, all of the \NC's are aligned vertically, as  
are the \NR's. How do you do this? Does your editor align these for  
you, or do you painstakenly align them manually with the spacebar?

 keeps can be handy when you run into an error and want to see what was

 run is done

Re: [NTG-context] Prepare exams with ConTeXT

2007-06-03 Thread David Arnold
Aditya,

As usual, great work. I don't understand the purpose of the fourth  
argument to \dowritelist:

\def\savescore{\expanded{\dowritetolist{Score}
 {\convertednumber[Answer]}{\countervalue{totalscore}}{Question}}}

There are 4 arguments here, as in \dowritelist#1#2#3#4.

It appears that:

#1 holds the name of the list.
#2 ?
#3 ?
#4 ?

Can you describe what is expected in #2, #3, and #4?

Above, I can see that you are sending the number of the current  
answer to #2 and the value of the total score to #3. This is not my  
problem. My problem is what is generally expected in #2 and #3 and I  
am baffled by the use of #4.

Any help appreciated.

Hans,

I think you may have misinterpreted my question. It seems \lastpage  
holds the pagenumber for the last page. I think. If so, that's not  
what I am looking for. The following code outputs eight pages. The  
first seven pages have a pagenumber at the top of the page, i.e., 1,  
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. However, the 8th page is completely blank.  
There is no pagenumber at the top of the page. My question is: Why  
not? Why isn't there a pagenumber on the 8th page? And what should I  
do to get one?

Re: [NTG-context] Header problem in project

2007-01-08 Thread David Arnold
Taco et all,

 From what I could deduce, our former macro for placeanswers was a  
group.

\def\placeanswers{
   \bgroup
   \doifmodeelse{short}
   {
  \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
   \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
   \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
   \stopcolumnset
   }
   {
   \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
   \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
   \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
   }
   \egroup
}

It occurred at the end of an exercise set like this:

%%% ENDTESTBANK
%%%
\stopquestions

\placeanswers\kern0pt

\stopcomponent

So when the group was finished, the header for the component took  
over. Here is the fix I found. I just set new headers for the rest of  
the way.

\def\placeanswers{\doifmode{long}{%
\page[yes]
  \def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}}
  \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}}
  \setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][]}
   \bgroup
   \doifmodeelse{short}
   {
  \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
   \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
   \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
   \stopcolumnset
   }
   {
   \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
   \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
   \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
   }
   \egroup
}

So now when we compile with:

texmfstart texexec --mode=long,paging section1exercise

We get what we want, which is no page numbers in the headers once the  
solutions start. You can see the result at:

http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText2/chapter2/section1solutions.pdf

We have a paging mode and a perl script that syncs the page numbers  
at the beginning of this document with the chapter page numbers.

Thanks.

[NTG-context] bad page break

2007-01-07 Thread David Arnold
All,

We have a situation where we want to put in a page break to move some  
text at the bottom of the page to the next page. However, there is a  
float that hasn't been typeset yet, so the result of \page[yes] is to  
put the float at the top of a blank page, then page again to continue  
the running text.

Anyway around this?

[NTG-context] Header problem in project

2007-01-07 Thread David Arnold
Hans et all,

We have a project call book.tex, a product in that called  
chapter1.tex, and a component in that called section1exercises.tex.

We have blocks that we save and then place at the end of  
section1exercises.tex with a macro defined in our environment file:

\def\placeanswers{%
   \bgroup
   \doifmodeelse{short}
   {
  \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
   \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
   \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
   \stopcolumnset
   }
   {
  \def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}}
  \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}}
  \setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][]
   \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
   \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
   \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
   }
   \egroup
}

The else part of the do above is an attempt to define a different  
header when we compile with --mode=long, but just for the pages on  
which we use \placeanswers. The other pages have a different header  
defined in the environment file. Those headers have page numbers as  
well with:

\def\headermarkleft{\bold{\pagenumber}\headerskip{\sc\headerskip  
Chapter \headnumber[chapter]\headerskip\getmarking[chapter][current]}}

\def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]\headerskip 
\getmarking[section][current]}\headerskip\bold{\pagenumber}}


The file section1exercises ends like this:

%%% ENDTESTBANK
%%%
\stopquestions

\placeanswers\kern0pt

\stopcomponent

When we compile section1exercises.tex with texmfstart texexec -- 
mode=long section1exercises, all is well until the last page, where  
the former header is used instead of the header defined in the  
\placeanswers macro. But we want to finish out the document from the

And why does this one have page numbers on all pages? And why does it  
end on an odd page? What's the difference from my first example?

Mojca,

Attached.

Meanwhile, I guess I should try to update my Context and see if that  
makes a difference. I found that I needed to update my installer and  
now I am realizing that I am a bit behind the times.


In trying Context Updater in the update i-installer, I get this message:

You are now installing in the location for de deprecated gwTeX  
2003-2005 i-Package in part based on teTeX. This is probably not what  
you want. I suggest you make sure you have the gwTeX i-Package based  
on TeX Live installed. Then the best thing is to reset this i-Package  
to its default package properties. It will then pick up the new  
default location.


Looks like it wants me to install the latest tex.

Any advice?

[NTG-context] GWTEX -- Uninstall before installing the new?

All,

GWTeX has some serious updates.

Should I uninstall the deprecated tex before installing the new? Or  
can they both be installed at the same time (in case the new doesn't  
work well with my old files).

Mojca,

Well, I just finished installing gwtex, the newer version. It is in / 
usr/local/gwTeX.

I am just finishing installing CM Super fonts. I'll then do Freetype,  
libwmf, and ImageMagick and ghostscript.

Then I'll do the contextupdater.

There's something about a preference pane but I haven't found that  
yet. At the moment, from my command line, I am finding the old tex.

darnold $ which pdflatex
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex

Advice welcome as I proceed.

 Mojca,

 What is ctxtools --contextversion

 It tells you the version of ConTeXt rather than the version of  
 texexec.

 Perhaps you need to use
   texmfstart ctxtools --contextversion
 (before upgrading)

 Evn if you uninstall tex.ii2, you can still install it agin if
 something fails. The problem might be that if you don't uninstall
 tex.ii2, context might install under tetex and then you won't be able
 to update context itself (although the version should be OK)

 I am starting anew. I uninstalled the old.

 Now, I do have some stuff in ~/Library/texmf, and I am at a point in
 the installation where I am getting this message:

 I found (a) personal configuration file(s) for user(s): David
 Arnold. These users will not fully use system-wide settings and their
 TeX configuration is not fully covered by this system-wide
 configuration phase.

 I suspect they are related.

 However, I don't want to just delete these as some would be hard to
 recover. Can I put them in a tmp directory somewhere? And, after the
 installation completes, is thre a proper new place to move them to?

 I did
  mv texmf texmf2
 You can recover them later if needed by copying single files or
 folders back. 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.

 Thanks for the quick response.

 I have some questions about your code, because it does not fullfill  
 all
 my wishes.

 The command \inmargin now correctly puts its text on the correct  
 side on
 even and odd pages. But i would like to have the same behaviour for  
 the
 figures too. In a longer script, TeX should know, if the margin image
 has to be placed left or right. So 'inright' or 'inleft' is not an
 option. And 'margin' does not work ... (the image is placed mostly
 outside the page).
 In your code, the long image on the second page does not start in the
 left margin, as desired.
