I also ran into this (a few weeks ago on the list) and the patch I
sent Hans after testing it on my Ubuntu Linux laptop was to use two
backslashes:
run("--expand-path=\\$#{varname}")
so that Unix sees the command as, for example,
kpsewhich --expand-path=\$TEXMFLOCAL
which prevents the shell from expanding TEXMFLOCAL as a shell or
environment variable, leaving it for kpse to find it in texmf.cnf.
Interesting that \$ also works. I guess the \ gets passed unchanged,
so the $ still gets procted from the shell.
By the way, the rescue '' doesn't do anything, since a failed run of
kpsewhich doesn't throw an exception. I think I have a patch for
that.
Hans, should I resend those patches?

[NTG-context] problem in kpse.rb
Attempting to find out why this happened on linux
~$ texmfstart ctxtools --updatecontext

I found that line 114 of kpse.rb can be changed from
path = run("--expand-path=\\\$#{varname}") rescue ''
to
path = run("--expand-path=\$#{varname}") rescue ''
which allows it to work, that is, the line should be the same under
windows and linux.

Sorry about the delay. Here you go:
\setupcaptions[ headstyle=\ss\bf,style=\tfx ]
\setupcombinations[ style=\tfx\em ]
\starttext
\placefigure [center] {Combination Caption}
\startcombination [2*1]

Re: [NTG-context] Templates and official documents
Hi Jorge,
In order to fit a table on one page one can put the table into a buffer
and issue the \placetable command, which enables you tou provide a
height. In fact you include the table as a float.
Because the "TeacherDate" line occurs on each page, this can be put
into a footerline.
About your question concerning the amplification of the interlinespace I
have no appropriate answer. I do not know whether you have comman=
option where you could give instructions like \setupinterlinespace.
Kind regards

My main question is: is there any way to prepare this kind of documents

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt problem on Mac mini
A notice for Hans: can you please browse down for
\externalfigure[\jobname-something.tmp]
The thing with \AR versus \FR & \LR and table header & footer handling
might also be misfeatures, esp. if they have already worked before (I
never used them).

The table causes problems here as well, so it's certainly not machine-specific.

Same error here, even with MikTeX with 20060822. Perhaps an error in
macro (either in yours or in Hans's; how old are the other
distributions where your file compiles OK)?

That is (or at least should be?) only formatting issue. At least I
thought so. I have no idea why replacing \AR with \FR/\LR fixes the
problem.
> running texexec --pdf TestFile2.tex
You didn't attach it, but I also needed to make a small change in
your file to make it work:
comment this line:
%\def\StopPersDatTab{\stoptables\stop}
uncomment this one:
\def\StopPersDatTab{\NC\use{2}\ReFormat[l]{}\NC\LR\stoptables\stop}

I always thought that only \externalfigure[\jobname-buffername.tmp]
works properly. But then I figured out that in my MikTeX distribution
\externalfigure[buffername.tmp] works and
\externalfigure[\jobname-buffername.tmp] doesn't and in the standalone
with latest beta it's exactly vice-versa. Seems like partially
backward-compatibility problem in either case. Hans?
> Is it an installation problem?
Bear in mind that you have the latest beta installed on your Mac and
probably some older distros on other computers (but that should not
make that much difference; if it does, it's a bug). If there's
something about installation: well, it would be nice if you managed to
enable "texmfstart" (but it should work without that as well). Apart
from that probably nothing worth mentioning.

One of the problems is also that textext results in calling pdftex
instead of XeTeX (I never managed to get textext working under XeTeX,
but I didn't want to complain too much about it), but "draw
\sometxt{something}" is working perfectly and would be my choice for
this anyway (unless you really need to put something special in those
labels, but ask on the list again if you don't know how to handle it).
Then you don't need to take care of font switching inside of the
graphic, you just switch the font in your document.

[NTG-context] xetex and metapost
Hi,
After switching to `XeConTeXt' my file with MP graphics (which ran fine
before) results in errors. I include a .mp-file like:
\startuseMPgraphic{dia1}
input Diagram1 ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\placefigure{Comment}{\externalfigure[Diagram1.1]}
When I run ConTeXt a file test-mprun.mp is created containing:
[...]
defaultfont:="'Minion Pro:mapping=tex-text;
+onum;
+pnum'";
defaultscale:=12.0pt/10pt;
[...]
which of course is responsible for the errors. Does anyone know how to
solve this?
