[NTG-context] how to produce text with facing translation?
Hi all, I think I remember some of you already had experience with this, and I'd be grateful for a few hints that can get me started: as a textbook for a class I'm teaching, I want a booklet that will have Greek text with facing German or English translation. For the setup, I was thinking of \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuparranging[2*2] What would be the best way to achieve this? A few requirements: 1. The left-hand pages will have the Greek text, the right-hand pages the German translation. 2. In general, the German translation will be somehwat longer than the original, so I need to be able to insert manual breakpoints, but I want these breakpoints to occur in midparagraph so the last line of the page isn't truncated. 3. Would it be possible to have two sets of footnotes, one for the text, one for the translation? 4. I guess that I'll need to use a grid to make ligns align, right? Any help, as always, will be appreciated. Best Thomas ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Yet Another Install Problem (contextlive)
Bonjour à tous, I trying to update my ConTeXt (and LateX) distribution. I use an unix style environment either on Macosx (tiger) or various linux plateforms. I used ConTeXt from Texlive-2004 (osx or linux) and it worked well. Also (on powerbook) I used Context from tetex3 and it worked well too (and it is smaller). Now, I'd like to upgrade my context environment to the last one (before I need to!) and try to keep in sync with it. I first try to install the texlive-2005 but fall into problems with ConTeXt font (awithout using any any customized fonts!). (I tried the GUTenberg scheme, the full scheme and even de Context scheme) So I'm now trying the standolone ConTeXt distribution which I thought should be a robust and easy to maintain solution. I read the wiki at the page : http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ Linux_Installation#Minimal_ConTeXt_distribution and some various email archive on this list So what is the commands I use: # v=20060215 s=/usr/local/pack/tex/LOCAL/src p=/usr/local/pack/tex/context-$v cd $s wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/linuxtex.zip wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/macosxtex.zip wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/justtex.zip mkdir $p cd $p # CAUTION : don't use unzip -a which break the mktexlsr script # (probably because of numerous regex) unzip -q $s/justtex.zip unzip -qu $s/linuxtex.zip ;# -u for overloading some existing files unzip -qu $s/macosxtex.zip # size is about = 153M chmod a+x $p/tex/*/bin/* . tex/setuptex type -a mktexlsr texexec ;# to verify texexec --make --alone Error !! ! pdfetex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path). # So, my question is: what am I doing wrong??

[NTG-context] metafun boxes
Hi all, Yesterday, I have tried to put \input boxes within a MPgraphic. As a result, I obtain errors at compilation. After discussing this issue with Taco on #context, it appears that boxes.mp and metafun interaction is not safe at all. Ok, but since my needs remain the same, solutions are : 1. just do it, but manually (not smart at all) 2. use metapost then include the result in my document through ps or pdf files (this solution needs the user takes care of fonts + manually metaposting - not really smart) 3. use charts (but depends on what you want achieve - ok, but not for all purposes) 4. define some metafun macros (time consuming at the beginning but it's best to invest for the long term) X. others solutions I don't know yet... (feel free to add yours !) My thought is to finally obtain in metafun: 1. Nodes with text (multiline text!) and a collection of simple shapes to use like box, circle, box with rounded corner... 2. Nodes must be placed freely accroding to the metapost coordinate system 3. Connections between nodes (using boundaries of each nodes + possibility to give angles from...to for each connections) PSTricks can do that but it can be nice if metafun can provide this kind of features. See http://renolab.lrv.uvsq.fr/perso/ConTeXt/sample.png to have an idea (nodes are aligned in this figure but it is a particular case)... Maybe a solution exists, but since I don't know it, I send this post: 1. Are other people interested ? 2. What is the best solution to implement this feature in metafun ? My idea is to use \framed + shapes + path + ...
