[NTG-context] 3D MetaPost tool:3DLDF
Hi, 3DLDF might be interesting to some of you. I have not tested it, but it seems to use a similar language to MetaPost (but with 3D coordinates) and generates real MetaPost. http://www.gnu.org/software/3dldf/ | My primary purpose in writing 3DLDF was to make it possible to use MetaPost for | three-dimensional drawing. I've always enjoyed using MetaPost, and thought it was | a shame that I could only use it for making two-dimensional drawings. 3DLDF is a | front-end that operates on three-dimensional data, performs the necessary | calculations for the projection onto two dimensions, and writes its output in the form | of MetaPost code. | | While 3DLDF's data types and operations are modelled on those of Metafont and | MetaPost, and while the only form of output 3DLDF currently produces is MetaPost | code, it is nonetheless not in principle tied to MetaPost. It could be modified to | produce PostScript code directly, or output in other formats. It would also be possible | to modify 3DLDF so that it could be used for creating graphics interactively on a | terminal, by means of an appropriate interface to the computer's graphics hardware.

Re: [NTG-context] m-letter backslash codes in xml database
Contexers, That the best way for coding diacritics in the xml database which you wish to use for your mailing is by using the appropriate iso-latin1 or unicode number: contact num=3 regio=z3 label=`num3' address pJ. Sch#246;ttelndreher/p pJ. Sch#xF6;ttelndreher/p pLaan der Drie#235;enheid/p pLaan der Drie#xEB;enheid/p /address /contact The unicode number (#x..) gives a slightly better result in my pdf. Output: J. Schöttelndreher J. Schöttelndreher Laan der Drieëenheid Laan der Drieëenheid 1234 AB Beginhoven The code is known, of course, but find nevertheless a useful link here: http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/ncrs.html If you should want to copy your text back from the pdf, the diacritic character falls apart: Laan der Drie¨eenheid, but who would? I suppose other codes can be used as well. Regards, Robert Ermers ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Problem with \button
I have found the following somewhere in the
documentation.
\button{...}[the chapter on
whatever]\button{...}[otherdoc::some
topic]\button{...}[previouspage]\button{...}[PreviousJump]
I have tried them : all run very well except
\button{...}[otherdoc::some topic]
How can I replace some topic to indicate a chapter
in otherdoc or a page ?
Thank you.

[NTG-context] Re: ConTeXt dont work with fonts after last miktex update
Adam Lindsay schrieb: The support for this has been built into texfont for the past year (at least). Many more variants are available if you let it work with Eddie Kohler's LCDF Typetools for processing the OpenType fonts. There's a revised article on this in the upcoming MAPS. Hi Adam, thanks for your advice. I found the MAPS at the NTG-Homepage, but it ends with Nr. 27 in 2002. How can I receive your article to read it? I'm very interested in because I experimented with the LCDF-tools in the past, but I wasn't able to combine it with LaTeX or ConTeXt.
