Hello again,
I know I can use \starttyping with commands by saying

Can I do the same for \typebuffer[mybuf]? So for example:
No, you can't because buffers are files, and \typefile explicitly
disables option=commands, option=slanted and option=normal.
That bit of code looks quite on purpose, but if you don't mind
hacking, look at lines 10 and 11 of \dodotypefile in core-ver.tex

You said that you did it in LaTeX. Perhaps try to explain what you did
or what you would like to do that LaTeX didn't offer you.
I suppose that solving your problem should be simple enough, but you
have to tell a bit more about it: what kind of input data you have
(from database, manually typeset?), what troubles you (for example if
you don't know how to typeset certain parts of your letter, so that it
will look nice, ...), ...
There are numerous possibilities. In contrast to Word you have a magic
keyword \def in TeX, which means that you can define your own
commands and do just about every trickery with it.
I don't know if I even understood you properly. Here's a very small
ugly example of how you could typeset hundreds of more-or-less equal
pages to be printed. It has no design, but you have to tell how and
what you want before people can help you further.
% start new page supress page numbering
\setuphead[subject][page=yes]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
% here you have to define the body of your letter
\def\TypesetALetter#1#2{%
\subject{Dear #1,}
You are invited to #2.
\blank[medium]
\midaligned{Vittorio}%
}
% define a special kind of a letter
\def\PartyInvitation#1{%
\TypesetALetter{#1}{a party next week}
}
\starttext
\TypesetALetter{Alex}{join me on the trip on Sunday}
\TypesetALetter{sister}{a very special event next week}
\PartyInvitation{Ann}
\PartyInvitation{Betty}
\PartyInvitation{Sue}
\stoptext
For input you can also use XML, comma separated values (whatever is
more handy for you), the design, content and input data can be
completely independent ... But you have to be more precise in
specifying your requirements problems. People on the list are really
friendly, but perhaps you asked too general question.

[NTG-context] updating ConTeXt to latest on openbsd-current
hi there,
i am a (somewhat) long time pdflatex user and i am trying to convert to
ConTeXt. openbsd comes with teTeX 3.0 pre-packaged, that is with a very
old ConTeXt. the package has some openbsd specific stuff, but minimal,
and only for keeping cnf files between updates and a couple of paths are
different, but that is it.
i was (am) having font problems, so i thought an upgrade would not hurt.
the lovely guides on contextgarden.net got me started, and with minor
changes i have a fresh ConTeXt up and running, but i have some problems
still i am afraid. i am very new to ConTeXt and to TeX in general,
i was always behind the safe curtains of macros (like memoir, etc).
as i followed the instructions from here:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation
my question are related to this page
i will break down my question into more mails, so it's not too long,
and so that people can answer to mails they know the answer to :)
the first one:
the first step to upgrade context is:
--\startquote---
Fix texmf.cnf
Now first you have to fix texmf.cnf as supplied with teTeX:
# vi /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
You have to add an engine path to the TEXFORMATS line, so that it reads:
TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}
--\stopquote
i deliberately skipped this one, and the new context worked without it.
what does this precisely do?
when i first run the new context, a new line in the output immediately
caught my attention:
TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
fixing texformat path : .:{!!/home/f/.texmf-config,!!/home/f/.texmf-var,/home/f
/texmf,!!/etc/texmf,!!/var/texmf,!!/usr/local/share/texmf,!!/usr/local/share/tex
mf-local,!!/usr/local/share/texmf-dist}/web2c/{$engine,}{pdfetex,}
so i thought, ok, here's the path issue. so i added {$engine,} as intructed,
but it turned out that that this new line comes up anyway. could anyone
comment on it?
the next tip is to
--\startquote---
While at it, you probably want to set
shell_escape = t
if it isn't already.
--\stopquote
in the default openbsd package this line says:
shell_escape = f
what is the difference? and what is it for anyway?
some external execution of the legends are true? :)

Using # fmtutil-sys --edit you can comment out the lines for metafun,cont-en, and mptopdf And you can use # cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c rm -f cont-en.* metafun.* mptopdf.* to remove the old (fmtutil-generated) formats. --\stopquote -f -- the best way out of a difficulty is through it. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

some gurus will kill me now, because this is (for me) a simple

missing any fonts at all. i must also add, that i did a

before that, my accented letters were simply ingored out from the

Hi there! frantisek holop wrote: my second question, is more like asking for pointers... where can i read more about fmtutil, and how come that context does not use it when (i assume) pdftex does? The following comes from a thread in december about this same issue. The full thread is here: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20051213.100910.f7bb2779.en.html Posted by Taco Hoekwater (hey, that's me!): --- Here's what happened. In the really old days, formats ended with .fmt, like plain.fmt. When etex and omega came around, they identified themselves by having e.g. plain.efmt (note the extra e), so that they could coexist happily. However, this cluttered the build system quite a bit, so recently it was decided to drop the extra characters. At that time, it was understood that there would be an extra subdirectory below texmf/web2c to differentiate between the different engines (at least, that is what Hans and I gathered from the discussion). So you would have, e.g. web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt as well as web2c/omega/cont-en.fmt. But it turned out that since LaTeX has separate names for the different formats anyway (Lambda etc.), ConTeXt was the only client of this new feature, and Thomas Esser decided that it was not worth the effort to support these extra directories. However, for ConText it would be very, very unwieldy to have cont-pdfetex-en.fmt, cont-xetex-en.fmt, cont-aleph-en.fmt etc., each six or seven times. And because context is always called through texexec, the latest texexec's implement this engine subdirectory functionality for you. Finally, what goes wrong: unless you either delete the teTeX-supplied context formats or change texmf.cnf, the old formats will be found first by kpathsea. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

I'm sure you'll like it around here... I'll try and answer some of your questions: shell_escape = t if it isn't already. --\stopquote in the default openbsd package this line says: shell_escape = f what is the difference? and what is it for anyway? some external execution of the legends are true? :) Among other things, ConTeXt has wonderful integration for an implementation of Metapost called Metafun. If you set shell escape to t, ConTeXt will be able to compile Metafun code that is included in your documents. this is a security issue when you're on a system with many users; if you;re running it on your own personal computer, it is safe to set this to true. kpathsea: Running mktexmf ec-lmr12 ! I can't find file `ec-lmr12'. * ...ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12 This is the old Latin-Modern bug that is a recurring event on this list. Download the file cont-lmt.zip from the pragma website, unzip it in your texmf-tree, run texhash, and this should solve your problems on this front. HTH, you'll certainly receive more answers.

frantisek holop wrote: hi there, my second question, is more like asking for pointers... where can i read more about fmtutil, and how come that context does not use it when (i assume) pdftex does? Fmtutil is used to generate the necessary format files to run tex. - Context provides this within texexec. So generating the formats becomes simply texexec --make en metafun mptopdf i.e. a list of requested formats. even shorter this is texexec --make all.. This will however generate formats which you will never use. But nowadays, where diskspace is no issue :-) Kind regards Willi --\startquote--- Cleanup fmtutil Optionally, you can remove ConTeXt support from teTeX's configuration, because ConTeXt does not use fmtutil. Using # fmtutil-sys --edit you can comment out the lines for metafun,cont-en, and mptopdf And you can use # cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c rm -f cont-en.* metafun.* mptopdf.* to remove the old (fmtutil-generated) formats. --\stopquote -f ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

hmm, on Mon, Mar 06, 2006 at 11:04:25PM +0100, Taco Hoekwater said that
This is one of the latin modern fonts. ConTeXt depends on the latin
modern package, and will not run without errors if latin modern is
not installed.
thanks for the all the answers...
this all could be in the wiki thought, would save you/me mining the
archives :) so i'll shamefully steal and put this info into the
openbsd upgrade page i just started :)
ok, seems like my last problem is about the fonts. i must say the
wiki gets a bit controversial here:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation says:
Install a Latin Modern font update
The Latin Modern fonts are still in development, so teTeX has a hard
time catching up. To get a stable system, you have to manually download
the [Latin Modern distribution] from ctan and install the package
according to the[instructions in the FAQ].
The ConTeXt-specific support files are included in Cont-tmf.zip, so it
is just a matter of installing the actual font files.
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cont-lmt.zip says:
This was the Latin Modern release from CTAN, repackaged for an easier
download.
It has disappeared since Context 2006.02.01
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=uselmfonts says:
snip
Note that teTeX distributions, from version 3.0, already have the lm
fonts: all you need do is use them.
according to the wiki, i don't need cont-lmt.zip anymore.
according to the tex faq i already have them.
what now? i downloaded the lm.tgz package, compared files, and
clearly, teTeX 3.0 files are old-old-old.
so i copied over the old files, run texhash, and lo and behold,
fonts are all right.
ok, the only problem i see at first glance is \{o}
(long hungarian umlaut) is with a wave and not the proper umlaut.
could this be a problem with context's encodings?
i presume the lm fonts contain the right character...
it is certainly not that special :)

hmm, on Mon, Mar 06, 2006 at 10:57:57PM +0100, Taco Hoekwater said that Finally, what goes wrong: unless you either delete the teTeX-supplied context formats or change texmf.cnf, the old formats will be found first by kpathsea. excellent explanation. so is it either or? is it enough to change texmf.cnf _or_ delete the old format files? from the wiki: -%-- Cleanup fmtutil Optionally, you can remove ConTeXt support from teTeX's configuration, because ConTeXt does not use fmtutil. -%-- -f -- wasting your life is prohibited by the law ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
