[NTG-context] New release
Hi all, Hans has issued a new release of ConTeXt yesterday (2005.01.13). Highlights: * The distribution now contains Taco's bib module and related files * The TeXShow program now uses the XML versions of the interface definition files, the .tws variants have been removed * Math font definitions (esp. lucida/euler) are completed and improved, resulting in more robust mixed math usage More details on the Wiki, http://contextgarden.net/Release_Notes Greetings, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
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:
J. Schöttelndreher
J. Schöttelndreher
Laan der Drieëenheid
Laan der Drieëenheid
The unicode number (&#x..) gives a slightly better result in my pdf.
if you want to move things around in an encoding neutral way:
\defineXMLsingular
[c]
[n=unknowncharacter]
{\executeifdefined {\XMLop{id}} \unknowncharacter}
sometimes it's handier to move elements around than entities

I have found the following somewhere in the documentation.

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 ?
you need to register the otherdoc by using \useexternaldocument

Thanks, Hans, for the example. I do agree, but I'm sorry I don't quite
understand how to apply this code. Could you be more specific?
Do I still have to use the unicode number, or is this a method to use
\"e again in the database?
Should I code each diacritic in this way, such as ouml (ö) in my
example: J. Schöttelndreher)?
My solution by the way does not work with, e.g., a Turkish scedil
(U0015F) in my database, while Tex excells in all kinds of diacritics.
Kind regards,
Robert

[NTG-context] shading in meta[post/play] & PDF
There's a wonderful tutorial on drawing 3D graphics in PostScript on http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/graphics/manual/, specifically http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/graphics/manual/code/doughnut.eps as an example. And there's a detailed description on shading in PostScript in http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/PLRM.pdf, page 259 (I attached an example and have some more on computer if anyone is interested; I downloaded them from Adobe, but don't know the URL any more) or on shading in PDF in http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference16.pdf, page 272. (They're basically the same.) In metapost, "perfect" spheres can be drawn, like on http://www.gnu.org/software/3dldf/cdsmpls.html. But how can I add colour? Even if it would be too tricky to add colour and proper shading on the sphere - Is there any possibility to use advanced shading techiques described in PLRM inside metapost/metaplay for the most simple cases, say, like in the attached example? Metaplay allows circular and gradient shading and no others. I don't mind if I had to hard-code the shading. PSTricks allows some more advanced shading techniques and even direct PostScript code integration (with \special I think). Is anything similar possible in metapost/play? The spheres drawn directly in PostScript as in the examples above still have straight lines (well, I agree that with some mathematics it would be possible to draw them with proper splines as well). Thanks for all the suggestions, Mojca DECAHED.PS Description: PostScript document ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
