[NTG-context] How to get the characters in the attached pdf file using ConTeXt
Dear all,
I have sent this email twice already but return messages said that it
was too large and would be posted at the discretion of the
administrator. I had attached a sample file using only one word from
the original .pdf file in the hope that it would be small enough.
Obviously not! Apologies if I have broken protocol. This time I have
not included an attachment. Apologies again!
I could get the proper characters as seen in the attached sample file
using LaTeX with the preamble:
\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
The result can be seen below. But I would like to achieve this in
ConTeXt (not necessarily with Palatino). Can anyone give me advice on
the setup commands needed. I have tried various ways but nothing has
worked so far. My ConTeXt input file looks like this without any of the
setups that I had been trying. I am using Gerben's installation on a
Mac G4 OS 10.2.6. Also what command do I need in order to use mac
inputencoding in ConTeXt? I think I saw it mentioned in one of the
manuals but I cannot find it again. Of course for the \dh and \k in
LaTeX I could not use Mac inputencoding.
Thank you very much in advance,
Charlie Doherty

[NTG-context] beginner's hazzles with backgrounds and definitions.
Hi,
I am new to context, migrating from latex for the purpose of writing an
online book. I would like to set up a few definitions in the
environment file
that would replace latex's \begin{definition} ... \end{definition}
environments. I realize that this can be done conveniently with
\defineenumeration,
but I want of course a few more features in it then in latex's setup.
For example, I'd like to have the
definition typeset in some color against some background. I tried the
following
in the environment file:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definetextbackground
[defbackground]
[backgroundcolor=blue,
backgroundoffset=.25cm,
offset=.25cm,
frame=off,
location=paragraph,
color=green]
\defineenumeration
[definition]
[text=Definition,
location=left,
before={\starttextbackground[defbackground]},
after={\stoptextbackground},
letter=it]
Then, in the text, when I use
\startdefinition
This is my definition.
\stopdefinition
the text comes out green all right, but the blue background is smeared
all over two pages.
I have tried a few modifications to no avail, so I fear I am doing it
all wrong.
Curiously, when I typeset the above th first time, I only get the green
text (no blue), and the
mess shows only up when typesetting the second time.
Any help?
Thanks,
Matthias

Alexander Klink [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello Alexander, What can people tell me about setting up Emacs to work with Context? I use the AUCTeX from CVS, which can do ConTeXt by now (and has the keybindings I'm used to). Unluckily, it always says Problems after n pages, even though it compiles ok... Anyways, except for that, it works for me... Could you send me off list an example file and an explanation how exactly you get the error? It works fine for me. Please make sure you use the latest cvs version (did not work on it for some time, though). I'll be happy to fix it.
