The other alternative I know of for doing math in XML is embedding

don't think that's really complicating things much.  It's certainly 
possible in theory to embed LaTeX-coded equations in ConTeXt, and 
there's a small bit of comment on this on the Wiki.  In practice, it 
may take a bit of coding to make work, but the amount won't be 
excessive.



there is a math module (m-math) and a new implementation of that 
(m-newmat) which does quite some ams math;



It does some, yes, though not (yet) the multiline alignment parts that 
I need.


ok, so just isolate the code that you want to be included

i have no problem with adding more code but each time i ask for 
specs, nothing comes up -)



Yeah, I know.  The specs for what I need are "I've got this pile of 
equations written in LaTeX with the AMSmath package, and I'd like to 
be able to copy them back and forth between LaTeX and ConTeXt without 
needing to edit them."  I'm slowly working on reducing that to 
something that's actually useful as specifications (and as some code), 
and I hope to get some of that to you within the next few months or so.


Ok,  maybe we can also make a small manual then -)

Re: [NTG-context] how to use Times Roman font

[Sytse Knypstra]

On 2005-03-20 and 2005-03-21 there was a thread on this list about using 
the Times Roman font under the CONTEXT distribution for Windows.


I'm running into similar problems (also with the Bookman and Lucida

Re: [NTG-context] line break

[Jörg Hagmann]

Some time ago, I inquired about the problem of an unwanted linebreak.  
The linebreak is inserted after an \inothermargin command, if at the  
same time there is a figure occupying the margin and some part of the  
textarea on the opposite side (a type of figure here called  
"vignette"). When I run the .tex file (see below) on the wiki, I get  
the same result as on my computer.
Could somebody tell me whether there is an abvious mistake in what I  
did or that's the way it is, and nothing can be done (I include the  
complete setuparea, just to be sure).

Thanks a lot, Jörg.

[NTG-context] Re: some beta software (fontinstaller)

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello again,

finally a follow-up. I have been working on my font installer for the
last few (insert your favourite time period here). It has come to a
state where it is actually usable. Although not very fancy yet. 

For those who don't know: it is a set of ruby libraries to create a
font installer as well as some example installers. It can handle a
single font (like afm2tfm) and a font family (like fontinst). 

Included in the distribution is a program called afm2tfm.rb. You might
guess that this is meant as a replacement for afm2tfm (comes with
dvips). It can do a bit more than afm2tfm, for example, it can also
handle truetype fonts and keep kerning and ligature information in the
tfm file.

Another program included is 'rfont', a simple installer for font
families (regular, bold, italic, ...). But for that program, I need
some help for implementing ConTeXt font support. LaTeX support is
already working (although very preliminary - I'd appreciate help
there, too).

Prerequisites:

* ruby 1.8  (I guess, I have not tested it with 1.6)
* pltotf, vptovf (come with your TeX distribution)
* ttf2afm (pdftex), if you want to install truetype fonts
* patience (not everything is bug free)
* subversion if you want to stay up to date and can't wait a few hours
  for the nightly snapshot.

This release is dedicated to Mojca and Nikolai (who have to wait for
the changes in texshow-web - I was just too busy with this)

> Here is the project page: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/rfil/
>
> and here is the 'home page' of the project:
> https://rfil.groups.foundry.supelec.fr/ (documentation in rdoc format)

There is also a mailinglist at that site. You can find it at the
project page.

Because the upload of the foundry server is not working for me at the
moment, I have put the current cvs snapshot at
. This will go away soon. You can
always downoad the nightly svn snapshot.


Any kind of feedback is welcome.

Patrick

Hello,

no problem with inbetween; the inbetween setting was necessary just because
I used paragraph indents (and no vertical space) and I wanted the Theorems
to be

Theorem x.y
No indent is here

and not

Theorem x.y
   Paragraph indent here
looks really ugly

So my example was small, but not really minimal :-)

Thanks,
D.A.

So why not mapping the characters to unicode first and defining the

you mean ...

\defineactivetoken 123 {\uchar{...}{...}}

it is an option but it's much slower and take much more memory


 I may be wrong, of course, but I think Mojca proposed something 
different (and something that should be really easy to implement):  Have 
the unicode vectors stored in a format easily parsed by an external ruby 
script and create the regi-* files from that, using the conversion 
tables provided by your operating system or iconv or wherever ruby gets 
them from.

[NTG-context] bug / feature portal

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

in addition to the wiki there is now a portal for tracking bugs and 
feature requests


 http://context.literatesolutions.com/ 

this is *not* a replacement for the wiki, which is and will be the primary place for on-line user support etc etc. Although the portal is mainly meant for those involved in the development and therefore is moderated, it is open for anyone who wants to contribute in bug reports and feature requests. It's still somewhat experimental and we're trying to figure out the best way to deal with things like bugs (without too much overhead for the developers). In due time there will also be some additional resources for the purpose of history.

I'm excited to have a bug tracker, but I didn't like the forums. In my
experience, forums and lists are competitor. Forums are more opaque than
lists. I don't want to monitor both. And I'm not sure the community is
large enough to really take advantage of a Web forum.

Not so fast: the lib cannot handle opentype fonts yet. And it will
take some thinking to integrate them smoothly (I'd expect).

Yes, I had something different in mind.

A1.) prepare the files to be used as a source of transformation from
"any" character set to utf and prepare a list of synonyms for
encodings

(example: a file that says that in ISO-8859-2, character 0xA3
represents an unicode character 0x0141 (lstroke): for every character,
for every Mac/Windows/iso/[...] encoding that we want to support)

A2.) write a script which automatically generates regi-* files from
those files, but regi-* files would contain only the mapping to
unicode number

(example:
\startregime[iso-8859-2]
...
\somecommandtomapacharactertounicode {163}{1}{65} % lstroke
...
\stopregime)

A3.) prepare a huge file with mapping from unicode numbers to ConTeXt commands

(example:
...
\somecommandtomapfromunicodetocontext {1}{65}{\lstroke}
...)

A4.) ... I don't mind what ConTeXt does with this \lstroke afterwards,
but it seems it is already clever enough to produce the (proper) glyph
at the end

What should ConTeXt do with that?
B1.) The file under A3 should be processed at the beginning. As it may
become really huge, exotic definitions should be only preloaded if
asked for (\usemodule[korean]), while there is probably no harm if
(accented) latin, greek, cyrillic and punctuation (TM, copyright, ..)
are preloaded by default

B2.) Once the \enableregime[iso-8859-2] or any other regime is
requested, the file with the corresponding regime definitions is
processed. However, as \somecommandtomapacharactertounicode
{163}{1}{65} is processed, the character '163' is not stored as
\uchar{1}{65}, but as \lstroke. '\somecommandtomapacharactertounicode'
would first take a look which ConTeXt command is saved under
\uchar{1}{65} and call the
\defineactivetoken 179 {\lstroke} as a result.

I don't know the details of the ConTeXt internal stuff, but I think
(hope) that it should be possible to do it this way. B1 (preloading
mapping from unicode to tex commands) is probably the only "hungry"
step in the whole story.

I think that it doesn't make any sense to ask the user to "\input
regi-whatever". \enableregime and some additional definitions should
be clever enough to find out which file to process in order to enable
the proper regime.

%

Christopher's idea is actually yet another alternative, which combines
the steps A2 and A3. If the mapping unicode->ConTeXt is in some
easy-to-parse format, there's actually no additional effort if the
script writes directly the ConTeXt commands instead of unicode numbers
into regi-* files, so that B2 has some less work to do. As long as it
is guaranteed that nobody will change these files manually, this is
OK. The only drawback is that if someone notices that "\textellipsis"
is more suitable than "\dots", the script has to be changed and the
files have to be generated once more. If the character is mapped to
(0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS) instead, only one line in the file with
unicode->ConTeXt mapping (A3) has to be changed.

If B2 cannot work as described, the Christopher's proposal would be
the only proper way to go.

%

I wanted to test \showcharacters on the live.contextgarden.net (as
Hans suggested that my map files are probably not OK), but it didn't
compile there. (I hope it's not because of my buggy contributions in
the last few days.)

Is there any tool or macro to visialize all the glyphs available in a
font? \showcharacters (if it works) shows only the glyphs that ConTeXt
is aware of. What about the rest?
