Re: [NTG-context] Compiling to EPUB

Maybe it makes sense to add “7zip” as well if the Windows binary is really called “7zip” instead of “7z”.

[NTG-context] \startTEXpage and alternative=doublesided woes...
Hello all, I'm trying to get two pages from a PDF inserted into a document with a different paper size (6x9) which happens to be doublesided... I want the inserted pages to retain their original size (letter), and to be centered as they are in the original document, not relocated due to the pagelayout set up by doublesided. When I use \startTEXpage \externalfigure... \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage \externalfigure... \stopTEXpage I get an extra page inserted between the two that I'm including. When I use \setuppagesize[letter][letter] \copypages[...][n=2] \setuppagesize[draft][draft] I get the desired results, aside from the margins... the pages are imported into the pagelayout as defined by doublesided. Help?

Or is the availability of unix commands the main reason? In no particular order: The Unix utilities, richer scripting language, compatibility with existing Unix systems one might need to deal with. Familiarity for those of us who have spent many more years working with Unix than Windows. If you need/want a GUI interface, Windows is great and that's where the applications are, for the most part. If you need/want a command-line environment, Unix is much more capable and powerful than the DOS world of the Windows command line. Something like UWIN or Cygwin allows one to have both. I have no familiarity at all with Macs since using the original Mac Plus to publish a newsletter in the late 1980's so I'm not slighting/disparaging Macs in any way. I won't comment on what I don't know about. [Bill Meahan] Agreed completely. That being said, I run the Windows ConTeXt standalone through cygwin, because it just works. --Jake ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___ ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

My changes were simple - I used the setuptex file that came with standalone, and tweaked it ever so slightly. https://gist.github.com/gatesphere/0afaf5c2c647430ff653 Save that as .setuptex in ~ (home directory) then add the line source /home/PeckJ/.setuptex /cygdrive/c/context/tex to .bashrc, and you should be good to go. I did install (first-setup.bat) from a Windows shell, however, and that took a few tweaks because I'm behind a corporate firewall, but that's a different story all together.

My changes were simple - I used the setuptex file that came with standalone, and tweaked it ever so slightly. https://gist.github.com/gatesphere/0afaf5c2c647430ff653 So basically all you did was replacing platform detection with platform=mswin and commented out three lines of code that notify about the change? (Did you just find those lines annoying or did they actually fail to work?) I just found them annoying - precisely because they worked :p Just curious: what does uname -s uname -m return on cygwin or what is the best way to detect windows in shell? (I believe that should be easy enough.) $ uname -s; uname -m; uname -o CYGWIN_NT-5.1 i686 Cygwin You could test if `uname -s` starts with CYGWIN, or if `uname -o` equals Cygwin... another way is to check $OSTYPE: $ echo $OSTYPE cygwin Save that as .setuptex in ~ (home directory) then add the line source /home/PeckJ/.setuptex /cygdrive/c/context/tex to .bashrc, and you should be good to go. In that case I would use export PATH=/cygdrive/c/context/tex/texm-mswin/bin:$PATH instead, but of course it's your choice. Is that all the script does? I've never read it completely, just tweaked it until it worked. Ah well, my setup works just fine :) --Jake Mojca ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___ ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
