[NTG-context] use color in XeTeX+ConTeXt
Dear all,
In ConTeXt, the following example was shown in colors.
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
The use of color in \TeX is not {\red easy}.
{\blue What color is it?}
\stoptext
but, the same text after defining new typescript and saved for XeTeX
+ConTeXt, the colors were gone. It is possible to change color using
following method:
\special{color push}
\special{color rgb 0.0 0.5 0.8}
sample text
\special{color pop}
However, is there a simpler way to use color in XeTeX+ConTeXt as in
ConTeXt?
Thank you
Dalyoung

[NTG-context] French punctuation spacing not working anymore (2006.02.15)
Hello, The following document: % \mainlanguage[fr] \useencoding[ffr] \starttext Essai: \c ca marche? Non; fini! \stoptext % doesn't work anymore.

You mean some more recent texlive from http://www.tug.org/ftp/texlive/Images/ ? Or the context zips from the pragma site ?

Are the above commands suposed to work as is? texmfstart texexec --make --alone ! pdfetex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path). So same error but a pdftex is created in the current directory (just above the main tex ConTeXt directory) But the above texexec --make --alone seams to create file in the texmf-macosx/web2c directory seems like you have the wrong pool file can you try newtexexec? texmfstart newtexexec --make --alone ... ! pdfetex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path). This commande create a pdftex directory in the current directory as above. So I change dir into texmf-macosx/web2c, redo the texmfstart but get the same result. how many pool files do you have on your system? I have several pdfetex.pool because I have tetex (from fink which work) texlive-2004 (which worked but is unused) and texlive-2005 which doen't work. But neither of these TeX distribution are in my path during these trys type -a texexec latex texexec is /Users/diam/live/local/pack/tex/context-20060215/tex/ texmf-macosx/bin/texexec bash: type: latex: not found cd texmf-macosx/web2c mv pdfetex.pool pdfetex.pool.bak texmfstart newtexexec --make --alone ! I can't read pdfetex.pool; bad path? So i seem it is the right pdfetex.pool file -rw-r--r-- 1 diam uma 36906 8 fév 09:52 pdfetex.pool.bak On more try : I stole the pool file from the linux tree to the macosx tree cp -p ../../texmf-linux/web2c/pdfetex.pool . texmfstart newtexexec --make --alone ... and the formats is creaded !! ... ... But I can compile any context file !? So it mean the macosx pool file is broken? Maurice ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] French punctuation spacing not working anymore (2006.02.15)
Salut Gilles,
I use
\useencoding[il9]
\mainlanguage[fr]
\useencoding[ffr]
\def\activateSomeCharacters{%
\defineactivecharacter ! {\,\string!}%
\defineactivecharacter ? {\,\string?}%
\defineactivecharacter : {\,\string:}%
\defineactivecharacter ; {\,\string;}}
\activateSomeCharacters
\appendtoks\activateSomeCharacters\to\everystarttext
\starttext
Essai: ça marche? Non; fini!
\stoptext
Maybe Hans can suggest a better solution ?

Friendly as ever, Hans suggests that you write a sample/spec how
you'd like to use this feature, so that he can think about some
implementation himself.
E.g., would such help?:
\setupsynced[setup name][mode=pages, after=pagebreak, n=2]
% n = (number of synced columns, think of more language versions to
compare...; default=2)
% mode = pages, columns (default=columns; pages only with n=2)
% after = pagebreak, space, continue...? (what should we do with
remaining space in column?)
% footnotes = local, ...? (synced text needs its own set of footnote
counters...)
% frame, background etc.?
\startsynced[mysetup]%
{ greek text }%
{ german text }
\stopsynced
This would be analogous to combinations, but could handle only single
paragraphs, I guess.
I don't think I need this feature, so it's your turn to propose a
syntax!
