[NTG-context] Footnote in columns/sets?
Good evening. Since I've got no answer, I date to resent my question once more, and even to add to it. I typeset a document in two columns on the grid. I use both columns, and columnsets. I place footnotes in the "lastcolumn". \setupfootnotes [rule=off, way=bypage, location=lastcolumn, conversion=set 3] \setupfootnotedefinition [location=left, width=fit, hang=1] 1) How can I set interlinespace to a smaller distance? (I don't care that the footnote lines would not be on the grid---I prefer it to a very loose interlinespace.) I guess that there is better way than to write \footnote{\setupinterlinespace[line=9pt] ...\par} Moreover, it doesn't work well since on the first line is apparently inserted a strut. 2) In columnsets, the footnotes appear in the column where they are referenced, not in the last (the second) column. How can I force it to the second column? Many thanks for your answers. M.K. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Module `database' and UTF8?
Good evening. I apologize that I bother you now so much with my own problems but I have to rewrite some of my macros right now for some reason. I found there is a great `database' module. I tried it with ConTeXt version 2007.01.12 15:56, perl TeXExec 5.4.3, and pdfetex 1.40.1 under SuSE Linux 10.1. I use input encoding regime utf8, and fonts in ec-lm encoding. I set it this way: \defineseparatedlist[CSV] [separator=tab,%{,}, %quotechar={"}, before=\bTABLE, after=\eTABLE, first=\bTR, last=\eTR, left=\bTD, right=\eTD] And call it with \processseparatedfile[CSV][file.csv]. It works well with words without accents. If there is an accented letter in the file.csv, it failes with this error message: !

Re: [NTG-context] pdfetex 1.40.1 + ghosscript problem? More findings
Good evening. I found some more puzzling things. I write them here fore anybody who may be interested. :-) I tried to typeset a document using two font families: TrueType Gentium by SIL, and Adobe OpenType Myriad. First I converted Myriad to Type1 using fontforge, then I prepared metrics for all fonts with TeXFont using ec-lm encoding. I found this: (1) Any ConTeXt document produced by pdfetex 1.40.1 (even this one: \setupoutput[pdf] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext makes my GhostScript (gs Ghostscript 8.15.3 under SuSE Linux 10.1) die with this error: Warning: An error occurred while reading an XREF table. The file has been damaged. This may have been caused by a problem while converting or transfering the file. Ghostscript will attempt to recover the data. ERROR: /undefined in /BXlevel etc. However, if I make a ps-file out of it using AdobeReader, I can view/print it with my GhostScript. The newest Ghostscript (Ghostscript 8.54 (2006-05-17)) doesn't write this error message but the rest of problems (see below) is the same. (2) When I typeset my document only with the Gentium font, or only with the Myriad font, or with a combination of the Gentium and LatinModern, or the Gentium and TrueType version of Myriad (made fontforge), the outcome is the same as (1). (3) If I try to combine TrueType Gentium and Type1 Myriad, my GhostScript failes to view/print it properly: strange letters appear in the text. I've got no idea what's wrong. By the way, my input regime is now utf8. Do you thing this is problem of ConTeXt, or pdfetex, or GhostScript? Whom should I tell it? Yours Michal Kvasnicka P.S.

[NTG-context] pdfetex 1.40.1 + ghosscript problem?
Good evening. Excuse me this off-topic, I don't know where should I ask. I've installed pdfetex 1.40.1 to be able to use hz-algorithm with truetype fonts. Both my AdobeReader 7.x, and xpdf under SuSE Linux 10.1 view the output pdf file all right. But my gv viewer based on ghostscript (version 8.15 (2006-04-19)) dies if I try to view the output file with it. When I convert the pdf file to postscript using AdobeReader, it doesn't die but view the document incorrectly (strange letters appears where they are not supposed to be). Can anybody tell me what's wrong, and if there is a ghostscript version capable to view the output of pdftex 1.40.1? Without it it is useless for me. :-( Many thanks for your kind help.

All worked well in ConTeXt---until I found that Czech letters (those with acutes and carons and rings) are present only in the Regular font, not in the Bold and Italic. Can you explain me 1) how is it possible, and 2) how to use this font to typeset Czech documents (i.e. to get a full ec-encoded fonts from it)?

[NTG-context] ec encoding and tcaron
Dear friends, I apologize that I ask the same question that had been asked a year ago but I can't find in the archive the definite solution. I want to use new fonts in the ConTeXt to typeset the Czech documents. TeXFont seems to be the best way to prepare metrics. EC encoding seems to be the standard ConTeXt encoding. But it doesn't include tcaron (well, this is true at least for EC.enc on my teTeX 3.0 under the SuSE Linux 10.0 with the latest ConTeXt from May 28). (In the Czech the lower case of Tcaron looks like tqouteright but nowadays most AFM files call it tcaron). Other glyphs may miss as well (I might not notice since I suspect that ConTeXt replaces missing letter with composites, e.g. Ecaron with \v{E}). So, what is the standard way I should use? I can use ec-lm.enc but is it the right way? (Moreover, it seems there is no information for ligatures.) I could try to use il2, but is the right way? And I had some problems with xl2.enc used formerly for il2-encoded fonts. So, what was decided to be the right encoding for the ConTeXt? (Is the answer the same for the Czech typesetters?) And one more question: Does anybody have the enc file that would make the TeXFont to generate metrics for il2-encoded fonts for the use with csplain (the Czech version of plainTeX)?

[NTG-context] Advance in columnsets/columns?
Good evening. I've been very busy in the last year or so, so I haven't been able to follow up change in the ConTeXt. So I dare to ask: Was there some advance in columnsets and columns in the last year? (I haven't found any mail in the mail archive on this topic.) I typeset our church bulletin in the column layout, so I am especially interested in these matters: 1) If there is some automatic balancing of columnsets, that would allow me to stop the columnset at the middle of the page, balance it automatically (not manually, I know to do it manually, but it's bothering), and start a new columnset on the same page. (I know it's on the edge of TeX possibilities, or beyond perhaps. But Mr. Hagen is a real Wizard---he has already implemented many things that I thought are not possible in the TeX.) 2) Or, what would be satisfactory, if the float-placement mechanism of ordinary columns was improved, so that I would be able to put a float not only "here", or on the "top", but also in the "bottom" in the two columns layout.

[NTG-context] Problems with Acrobat Reader, animation, sound, JavaScript etc.
Good morning. I'd like to ask a little off-topic questions but closely related to ConTeXt. I'm sorry I bother you with this, but I need it. My interest is not purely academic. I'd like to prepare fully interactive documents for my students to work with at home and prepare to my classes. My questions are like this: Theoretically, PDF can contain sound, movie, and JavaScript. 1) In practise, the movie plugin I have found only in the Acrobat Reader 5.x under Windoze; in Linux and in Adobe Reader 6.0 under Windoze it was not present. Can I download it somewhere? 2) What are limits of QuickTime JPeg in the PDF? It worked with a movie included in the QuickTime viewer under Windoze, but not with a movie from my digital camera (Olympus C730UZ). How can I convert it (for free)? 3) How can I include sounds to my PDF? Does it work with all Readers under all platforms, or not? What do I need to install? 4) Some JavaScripts work only under Windoze, not under Linux. Why? How can I fix that? Mr. Hagen's clock example, and Mr. Gundlach euro-anim example are just two cases. 5) Does Adobe still support Linux? There is a reader version 6.0 for Windoze, but only 5.0.9 for Linux. 6) If I want to learn how to use JavaScript in the ConTeXt, what Adobe document should I read first? Is somewhere explained to integrate it in the ConTeXt (more that the widgets manual)? Many thanks for any hint. I apologize one more for this slightly off-topic questions.

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Metapost animation
Good morning. Thanks for your answers. Well, I'm searching for automatic steps. (I know that manual steps are covered in the widgets manual.) And even for more funny stuff, like curves that appear `per partes', or curves thats slide from somewhere to their final location. You need automatic steps? If not, take a look at http://dl.contextgarden.net/examples/euro-anim/euro-anim.pdf As for your example, I don't understand it. It does work under Windoze with Acrobat 4.0 and Acrobat Reader 5.0, but not under Linux with Acrobat Reader 5.x. The same was true with Mr. Hagen's clock example. Why is it so? Can you send me your source? I'd like to compile it myself and see whether it would work, or not. Have you any explanation for that? Well, my more questions I will rahter cover under another subject. :-) Many thanks and greetings anyway.

[NTG-context] Metapost animation
Good evening. First of all I want to thank to Mr. Hagen for his last answer. I will check your last code of balanced columnsets at home (with the newest ConTeXt). As for your correcting code for ordinary collumns, I have tried it with three different types of my documents, and it worked well. Maybe this is the final solution of the problem. I will try it with more documents and let you know, anyway. Now to my next question. I have seen a great thing: Metapost pictures were animated (probably with the JavaScript code). You can found some examples here: http://www.math.muni.cz/~plch/nkpm/nradanm6.pdf http://www.math.muni.cz/~plch/nkpm/nradanm8.pdf (Just click on the `Spustit animaci' button.) Is it possible to do it simply in the ConTeXt? Of course I may break down the mechanism of widgets and write my own JavaScript (I don't know how to do timing), but isn't there some special macro for animating series of figures? It would be great. If so, is Acrobat Reader fast enough to simulate this way the nice feature of MS PowerPoint---curves and shapes that are drawn by pieces, or that appear somewhere and then go to its final location? (This is quite instructive in economics, because you can easily notice which curve is drawn first, what second, and so on.) How can I do it?

Re: [NTG-context] column balancing question
Good evening. Many thanks for your help. Your solution works well with the newest ConTeXt and one particular document I now typeset. I have to check it still with more documents. Do you want to gen a report from these tests? If you want I can send you many examples, but not `minimal files', since I don't know when the problem occures. As I typeset our church bulletin, I've got that result pretty often---approximately on one third or one fourth of all pages. I can't switch to columnset all my documents. Columnsets are absolutely great (one of the ConTeXt miracle---I thought it is not possible to do it in TeX because of its breaking routines), but up-to-now columnsets cannot be ballanced (or can they?), and my church bulletin is typset in such a way that each article can start anywhere on the page, and the columns must be ballanced before it. I can't explain it better because of my English, but its pages look like this: x x x x x x x x Title of article x x x x Therefore I would lobby for the support of the old \startcolumns ... \stopcolumns environment. :-) As for the Willi Egger's question, I don't use `fit' options very often. The problem I've mentioned in my last mail occures even when the `width' is set to some dimen and the `length' of page is set to some number of lines. Many greetings and thanks again.

[NTG-context] column balancing question
Good morning. One reason for me to switch to ConTeXt were its macros for typesetting in columns that are highly superior to any such macro I have ever seen. (I typeset almost all my documnts in two columns.) But I am not able to supress one strange feature: some pages are one more line longer than they should be. It happen randomly -- or at least I was not able to find out when it happens. Therefore I'm not able to prepare an minimal file. I thougth that setting \widowpenalty=0 \clubpenalty=0 \brokenpenalty=0 \normalbottom may help, but it does not. Can you tell me how to fix this very problem?

[NTG-context] \title in the table of contents
Good evening. I'm sorry to post one more rahter simple question, but I'm desperate because I can't solve it myself. In my document I use numbered chapters (\chapter) and non-numbered chapters (\title). I want both to be in the table of content. How can I do it? I tried two solutions, but none worked. First I tried: \definehead[title][chapter] \setuphead[title][number=no, command=\MyTitleCommand] This puts the title to the table of content, but it increases the chapter number, so \title{Foreword} \title{Introduction} \chapter{First chapter} makes that the First chapter has number 3. Then I tried \definehead[title][chapter] \setuphead[title][number=no, incrementnumber=no, command=\MyTitleCommand] which has the same effect as only \setuphead[title][number=no, command=\MyTitleCommand] without the \definehead line -- titles are not placed into the table of contents.

Hi. Many thanks for your kind answer. \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location={header,marginedge}] \setupheadertexts [section][{\headnumber[section]}][chapter][{\headnumber[chapter]}] Your code is rather nice (I have learned one nice trick from it), but it doesn't what I need. I want all the header stuff to go just separated by spaces, not on different sides of the header. Something like this 117_This_is_an_chapter_name_(chap._5)___ where "_" stands for a space. Well, with your trick I could possibly to it with some \hfill, but it's a rather tricky solution. Moreover, I may need the name of a current chapter and section in the document itself. I guess there must be some system solution for such a case in the ConTeXt (I think there is almost everything in it.) :-) Of course, as the last instance I can redefine \chapter and \section in a way like this \let\OriChapter=\chapter \def\chapter#1{\def\currentchaptername{#1}\chapter{#1}} but I don't want to do it -- it is dirty and involves more programming to cover crossreferences.

With many thanks Michal Kvasnicka however, i wonder if you really need all that mp code: \defineframedcontent[SomeTable][offset=1pt,rulethickness=2pt] \startframedcontent[SomeTable] \setupTABLE[2][1][background=color,backgroundcolor=black,foregroundcolor=white] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD Date \eTD\bTD Index CPI \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD jan 1991 \eTD\bTD 59.4 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD feb 1991 \eTD\bTD 63.1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD mar 1991 \eTD\bTD 65.7 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD $\vdots$ \eTD\bTD $\vdots$ \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD dec 1995 \eTD\bTD 112.5 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopframedcontent (\defineframedcontent is just a kind of preset framed text) - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com - information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf - ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Table with metapost framing and colors
Dear Mr. Hagen. I apologize that I bother you once more, but I really need your help (deadline for my document is quite soon). :-( I have to follow a rather complex document design. According to it tables must be framed with two different lines: The outer frame must be thick and the inner thin. Moreover, a part of the header (the first row) must be black. I didn't know how to do it, so I used Metapost in a company with the overlay mechanism provided with the ConTeXt. It works well, but: 1) When a cell has black background, it turns its frame from black to white. It's awfull. How can I switch this behavior off? 2) The frame of the first and last row doesn't fit precisely to frames of the rest rows. What's wrong? Are those cell of a different sizes? How can I improve it? Many thanks for your kind help. Your sincerely Michal Kvasnicka P.S. I include a minimal (but not a small, I apologize) example. tableexample.tex Description: TeX document
[NTG-context] Changes/bugs in the new Context
Dear Mr. Hagen. I'm sorry I bother you, but I really need a help. Some time ago I uploaded and installed the new version of ConTeXt (ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21). After that I was not able to compile some of my documents due to changes (bug?) in the new version (the changes may be older). I'd like to ask how should I handle the following two cases in the new version. 1) Changes in colors In some older version I could write things like this: \setupheader[style={\ss\bfb\red}] \setuphead[chapter] [textstyle={\ss\bfc\setupinterlinespace[line=24pt]\red}] \setupinteraction[state=start, style=\red] where \red is a color. Now it makes errors. How should I handle it now? In heads and headers I can use command option and \setupheadertexts respectively. But how sould I set the interactioncolor? (This is the real cause of the problem I have ask the last week -- by my mistake atributed to the content-lists.) 2) Chagnes (bug?) in references Some time ago command \reference[...]{...} expanded the term in the second (curly?) braces before writing to auxiliary files. Now it doesn't. I use this command in my macros like this \reference[#1]{\the\somenumber.\the\anothernumber}} Now the commands \the\somenumber.\the\anothernumber are placed to .tui/.tuo files without expansion. I had to redefine it in the following way: \global\let\OriReference=\reference \gdef\reference[#1]#2{% \edef\MyRefO{#2}% \def\MyRef##1!!{% \OriReference[#1]{##1}% } \expandafter\MyRef\MyRefO!!% } Is it a bug or a feature? How should I use it? Doesn't my solution interfere with the genious ConTeXt macros? Nonetheless I want to thank you very much for providing such a powerful macro package as ConTeXt is to all of us for free. The ConTeXt is really great. Thank you. Thank you very much for your kind help. Your sincerely Michal Kvasnicka ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] A change in ConTeXt content-lists?
Good evening. Some time ago I've typeset a rather complex document. Now I wanted to make some changes in its content (the text) but I wasn't able to compile it. The new version of ConTeXt/texutil/texexec ( ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21, TeXExec 3.3) is probably slightly different. The first problem (\white in the textstyle of \setuphead) I have already fixed, but there is still one more problem. Can some of you help me? My problem is in the content-list. The first processing of the documnet is all right. In the second run I get this error message: (./dso_casove_rady.tuo ! Use of \@@lisectioninteractie doesn't match its definition. \doifvalue ...f \!!stringa {\csname #1\endcsname } \edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx ... \dosomelijstelement ... #1\c!interactie }\v!tekst {\setlistparameter {#1}\c!... \dodolijstelement ...ment {#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6} \global \utilitydonetrue l.42 ...zy časových řad}{2::0:1:2:0:0:0:0::11}{11} I also get many warnings like this: references : duplicate reference [][high] on page 1 (dso_casove_rady) Can some of you hint me where the bug (in my macros, not in ConTeXt) can be? I'm totally lost. Many thanks for your kind help. Michal Kvasnicka ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Index sorting
Good morning. I'm sorry that I bother you all once more with the same thing as a half year ago, but I was unsuccessful. So: How works the mechanism that sort items for the index? I have to write down my own sorting system for the Czech language. (Mr. Hagen sent me some files for customizing the ConTeXt for the Czech language, but it didn't include index sorting.) Well, I would appreciate some example, since the task is not so easy. In the Czech for example `a' and `acaron' go under the same item `A', but `acaron' is sorted after `a'. On the other hand, `ccaron' has its own item in the index (under the item for `c'). And to be even more complex, `ch' is one letter in the Czech, having its own item in the index. Many thanks for any hint. (And one more apologize for bothering you once again.) Michal Kvasnicka ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
