Anyway, I have found another way around the problem. I have removed the typescript and font commands for Arial and replaced them with: \setupbodyfont[helvetica, 10pt] which is indistinguishable from Arial for 99% of the population, and it has the advantage that all the styles are already defined, including \tt.

[NTG-context] teletype style in type-win.mkiv
Hello all,
I'm afraid I've never spent the time to understand fonts properly, I just
make do with the defaults most of the time. Now, however, I am being forced
to use company default fonts for some documents. I have got as far as using
the following commands to setup my body font:
\usetypescriptfile[type-win]
\usetypescript[arial]
\setupbodyfont[arial, 10pt]
But the teletype style now has no effect: e.g. using {\tt teletype} gives
the same font as normal, and \showbodyfont reveals the same.
I've tried making sense of the type-win.mkiv file but it's beyond me! Any
suggestions how to get \tt to use Courier New, for instance?
Thanks,
Richard

[NTG-context] \SetTableToWidth undefined?
Hello all,
I have just noticed that \SetTableToWidth does not work in MKIV.
Simple example below.
\starttext
\SetTableToWidth{8cm}
\starttable[|l|l|]
\NC One \NC Two \NC\SR
\NC Three \NC Four \NC\LR
\stoptable
\stoptext
I get the error:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.3 \SetTableToWidth
{8cm}
It does work in MKII and also works if you use \tableSetTableToWidth.
Have I missed something, is something wrong or is it just me?

[NTG-context] ConTeXt on MikTeX
Hello all, As I cannot use rsynch to update ConTeXt, I was wondering if the MikTeX distribution might provide an alternative route to getting updates. There are questions: 1) The Wiki page on MikTeX (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MikTeX) still says it's broken. I presume this is out of date? 2) Does MKIV work in MikTeX? 3) How often will the MikTeX distribution be updated with a new ConTeXt? I guess I only need updating a couple of times a year, now that MKIV is looking pretty good. 4) Does TeXworks (which is part of MikTeX distribution) work with ConTeXt? 5) Any opinions or advice?

Thanks Hans, that works.
Will this change be added to the next release, or do I have to
re-apply it manually?
Is \sometxt not recommended now? Should I be using textext throughout?

[NTG-context] Minimals without rsync - again?
Hi all, On the wiki at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/FAQ is says: "Blocked Firewall port You are most probably behind a firewall. Make sure that port 873 is open. If you cannot make any changes yourself and if your admin objects, you probably won't be able to use rsync for the distribution." Yes, I am behind a firewall. No, port 873 is not open. No, I cannot make any changes, and yes, my admin objects :-( So what's the alternative to using rsync? I used to use the zip file at http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-4.htm but that doesn't exist any more! I've now managed to screw up my MKIV installation somehow, so I desperately need some way of getting the beta release re-installed without rsync. Help!! Richard Converteam UK Ltd.

This avoids having to choose! For purists, it rankles, but then we have to accept that the language will change. Personally, for serious writing, I use the rather cumbersome, but grammatically correct, 'he or she'. I personally don't like 'he/she'. The use of 'one' as a pronoun in British english is pretty much dead and sounds very stilted to us - only the Queen and old school masters still use it! Using 'it' is not an option.

[NTG-context] MKIV numbering
Hello,
Does anyone else have the following
problems with numbering for figures, equations etc in MKIV
1. Using \setupnumbering[way=bysection]
does not work
2. The colour of references to figures
etc is wrong.
The example below illustrates the problems.
Try compiling in MKII and MKIV and note the differences.

Thanks Patrick. If the 'volunteers' are REALLY keen they could also change examples so that they have the following form: Some example code for the command in question. which then outputs both the raw code and the formatted output separated by the word "yields".

Re: [NTG-context] suggestions for context documentation
> No, not like those. I mean like a real manual. I read the book > about Hasselt---a few examples without explanations. I am absolutely gobsmacked (astounded, astonished) at some of the comments on this and other threads! "ConTeXt - an Excursion" and "ConTeXt the Manual" together are wonderful. I still consult them at least once a week after 4 year's use. If you actually tried the examples in the former, rather than just reading them, you would be an expert user within 2 days! It would be nice to think that the community could construct documentation, but good, coherent documentation is much harder to produce than good code! It works for collections of small articles (WikiPedia etc), but I've never seen a good book written by a community. While it would be nice to have an updated "ConTeXt the Manual", in my humble opinion the biggest hole in the documentation is a reference for each command. Texshow-web should fill this gap and this is where the community CAN contribute, and where the mechanism already exists. And because it's made up of small articles it could work. When I learn about a command I try to fill in a few words in texshow-web. If everyone added a few words each time they learn a new command, we would soon have a fantastic reference source. Richard P.S. One request for improvement to texshow-web: the source-file for each command is included in cont-en.xml, could this be displayed on the command web-page? It would make it easier to find the source if you need to. Converteam UK Ltd. Registration Number: 5571739 and Converteam Ltd. Registration Number: 2416188 Registered in England and Wales.

After some experiments, I think the problem is that Notepad++ is ignoring the case of the commands when searching for calltips. By re-sorting the list I was able to get calltips to work. However, with this new sorting the auto-complete no longer works! This is definitely one for the Notepad++ developers. Regards, Richard Converteam UK Ltd.

I am using Npp 5.5.1 and the calltips for C++ work okay. I saw the startitemize tip in the context.xml file and tried it out but it didn't work. I was hoping to complete just a few calltips for commands that I use rarely enough not to remember the parameters but often enough to make looking them up annoying! Calltips for all commands would be a wonderful thing! Anyway, if it used to work for you, perhaps I should address the Notepad++ community instead. Thanks again for your help.

[NTG-context] Exporting figures
Hello again,
I have generated some ConTeXt documents
with figures using MetaPost. The figures
have labels which use \sometxt{}. Everything
works beautifully!
Now I have an unenlightened customer
(he does not use ConTeXt) who wants to import my figures into his documents.
He can accept eps or pdf files or any
of the common graphics formats (png, gif, even svg I think).
I have tried to generate the figures
as standalone files in two ways:
1) I compiled the metapost to a PS file
using "texexec --mptex file.mp". Unfortunately, the resulting
figure does not have any labels, presumably
because it isn't accessing TeX to generate them?
2) Inserted \starttext ... \stoptext
around the metapost code and used ConTeXt to generate a PDF
document. This is great except that
each figure covers a full page.
Is there any way of sharing my figures
with the unenlightened masses?
Thanks,
Richard

For the record, after reading Mojca's MyWay, and noting
that textext is deprecated
except in certain circumstances, I have ended up with
the following:
\definetextext[mplabel]{\framed[frame=off,align=right,width=fit]}
\startMPcode
label.rt(\sometxt[mplabel]{One\\Two},origin);
\stopMPcode
Thanks everyone.

Thank-you for a very elegant solution, Wolfgang, unfortunately
I get an error:
! Argument of \dododefinecolor has an extra }.
I have fixed this by using:
label.rt(textext("\framed[frame=off,align=right]{One\\Two}"),origin);
which works okay. It's not as elegant but as the code
is generated
automatically it does not require any more typing
on my part!
Thanks again.

[NTG-context] Lots of problems in mkiv
I've recently started using mkiv because of the fonts, but I have found
lots of things that don't work.
The trouble is, I don't know if it's just me, or whether I need to go back
to mkii until things settle down.
Can someone, PLEASE, tell me if they get any of the following problems with
mkiv (I've included code snippets):
Everything below works perfectly in mkii.
1) References to equations appear as '??' in the final document
\placeformula[eq:pythag]
\startformula
a^2 = b^2 + c^2
\stopformula
Pythagoras proposed \in{equation}[eq:pythag].
2) References to footnotes appear as '??' inside
\startlocalfootnotes...\stoplocalfootnotes
\startlocalfootnotes
This has a note.\footnote[fn]{Footnote.}
See note \note[fn].
\stoplocalfootnotes
3) References to sections are repeated (e.g. reference to section 1 appears
as '11' or ref to section 1.1 appears as '1.11.1')
\section[sec:one]{Section one}
It was in \in{section}[sec:one].
4) \digits command falls over at periods or commas with "\textfont1 is
undefined (character 58)."
\digits{1.6}
5) \infull command does not work for abbreviations: falls over with
"Missing } inserted."
\abbreviation {KF} {Kalman filter}
Rudolph Kalman invented the \infull{KF}.

[NTG-context] Page number updates
Hello again,
I want to set up a header which stretches across the margins as well as the
text area, so I've defined a layer for use as a background, as follows:
\setuplayout[backspace=3.5cm,leftmargin=0.5cm,leftmargindistance=1.0cm]
\definelayer[pagenumber][width=3cm,height=3cm]
\startsetups layer
\setlayer[pagenumber]{Page \pagenumber}
\stopsetups
\setupbackgrounds[header][leftmargin][setups=layer,background=pagenumber]
\starttext
\dorecurse{4}{\page[empty]}
\stoptext
Unfortunately, the page numbers are all '1'.
If I change the line:
\setupbackgrounds[header][leftmargin][setups=layer,background=pagenumber]
to
\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background=pagenumber]
the page numbering works, so I can get what I want by adjusting the offsets
of the layer.
My question is: should the first one work?

[NTG-context] Installation problem (was Updates without rsync)
Hello everyone, I wanted to get a clean, up-to-date installation of Context on Windows (without using rsync), so started from scratch as follows: 1.

Still a few problems though! I have installed it to C:\tools\context. Everything goes well until 'mktexlsr' which returns: Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-project/ls-R to write. Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-fonts/ls-R to write. Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-extra/ls-R to write. because the folders do not exist. So I've created empty folders just in case and no more warnings! Then all goes well until 'context --pdf myfile.tex' which returns: luatex.exe: c:/tools/context/texmf-cache/tuatex-cache/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.fmt: No such file or directory MtxRun | fatal error, code 1 and 'texexec --pdf myfile.tex' returns: c:\tools\context\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua:8603: attempt to concatenate a nil value Any ideas?

[NTG-context] updates without rsync
Gentlemen and Ladies, I am using ConTeXt on a company Windows PC behind two firewalls with no possibility of accessing or changing the firewalls. I've tried to update using the minimals installation and rsync, but nothing gets through. What is the recommended method of updating to the latest ConTeXt when rsync is not an option? The last time I tried, I downloaded cont-tmf.zip from http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm and unzipped the contents to overwrite everything in texmf-local. Is this still the best way? Thanks.

[NTG-context] rsync error
Hello, I've been happily using a fairly old version of Context for a while (ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.05 18:47 MKII fmt: 2008.11.14 int: english/english) but decided that I perhaps ought to try to update to something more modern. I tried to get the minimals for Windows by downloading context-setup-mswin.zip, unzipping it to a new directory and running first-setup.bat from a command window. On the output in the command window, I get a number of rsync error messages, the first of which is: rsync: failed to connect to contextgarden.net: Connection timed out (116) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [receiver=3.0.2] followed by lots of other warnings and errors and ultimately failure!

[NTG-context] Available fonts and using them
Hello all, I have read many of the documents from the Wiki on using fonts, but I am still not sure of one or two, probably obvious, things: 1) I'm being asked to use Arial font (not my choice!) and I see from searching the context tree that there are .afm files, .tfm files and .map files with 'arial' in the name. Does this mean I can use Arial out of the box? If so, how? I've tried putting \setupbodyfont[arial,10pt] in my environment file, but it does nothing. I've tried various other things as well, copied but only half understood, from the other documents, but none of them work either! I could follow the guide on installing a new font, but if it's already available then I'd rather not! 2) How do I find out what fonts are available "out of the box" and how do I invoke them? Thanks, Richard. P.S. I'm using mkii -- one day I'll get around to setting up mkiv, but not today! Converteam UK Ltd. Registration Number: 5571739 and Converteam Ltd.

I was looking for a two-column layout for and IFAC conference which is very similar to IEEE and I ended-up writing my own. I'm not a ConTeXt programmer so it was all done in the document itself rather than setting environments etc, so the source code looked awful.

Most other options seem to work, e.g. \setuphead[section][style=bold]
But \setuphead[section][style=\cap] has same problem as above.
I would try it in the "ConTeXt online" but that doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks,
Richard
P.S. How do I get a full stop after the section number?

[NTG-context] setupwhitespace
Hello All, I have a document in two columns and I need about 3mm vertical spacing between paragraphs. I've tried \setupwhitespace[small] and \setupwhitespace[3mm] but neither looks any different from \setupwhitespace[medium]or [big]. \setupwhitespace[none] gives no space. There is a previous mailing in the archives which suggests that columns don't use \setupwhitespace, and there's a suggestion to use \defineblank[default][3mm] but that doesn't seem to do anything either. Any suggestions?

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] Keeping section head with index
I want to put an index in its own section using
\section{Index}
\placeindex
I cannot use \completeindex because that starts a new chapter, not section.
Unfortunately, the header often gets separated from the index, being left
as the last line on the page.
I searched the mail archive and found a suggestion to use:
\setuphead[section][before={\testpage[4]}]
but this affects the vertical spacing of all section heads. Can anyone
either:
1) suggest an alternative way of keeping the section head with the index,
or
2) show me how to maintain the vertical spacing of headers when using the
above construct.
Thanks very much.
Richard

[NTG-context] texshow-web questions
As an eternal optimist, I often refer to texshow-web in the hope that I will find a function to help me, or a quick description of one that I already know. In most cases I end up reverting to searching the manuals and source code. I like the idea of texshow-web and I sometimes add notes to entries if I find our something interesting. I would be quite happy to add lots more, but I have some questions and suggestions for improvements which I think would help. 1) Is there a way of adding a function to the list? or can it be updated to include all the functions from the many macro packages included with the context distribution. For example, in recent discussion group threads I have found out about the \digits command and the \filename and \hyphenatedfilename commands, none of which is in texshow-web. I would have been happy to add notes on them if I could. 2) If I'm adding notes to a command, is it possible to add a URL link to a particular page in one of the manuals? This would great for looking up a command and going straight to the relevant entry in the relevant manual.

[NTG-context] Type-setting filenames
Hello, Can anyone suggest a good way of type-setting filenames in ConTeXt? They are usually long with few spaces and so often overhang the right-hand margin and even fall off the edge of the page. They also often include backslashes and underscores which I have to manually change - very tedious. Is there, for example, a command which handles some or all of my problems?

[NTG-context] Module documentation
Hello all, I have been using Context for a while now and have learnt a lot from the manuals and wiki. I now want to start to use features that are not documented. On the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Official_ConTeXt_Documentation#ConTeXt_Sources) I found the following command for producing a pdf output for a module: texmfstart texexec --module kpse:core-tab.tex which seems ideal for learning more. When I run the above command line it creates a .ted file but then complains: "I can't find the format file 'cont-en.fmt'!" On Luigi Scarso's page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso/modules.pdf) he suggests the following: texexec --module --pdf core-tab.tex but this returns no output at all, and no pdf. I am working on Windows. I installed (this week) from the context/install/mswincontext.zip on the Pragma site and normally build from the Scite editor. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?
