Re: [NTG-context] page numbering in words?
Hi all,
There are still a few problems with \numstr when you get beyond the
hundreds. Perhaps this is unlikely when it is a page number, but I
was interested in using this macro for contracts, where an amount of
money is often written out in words.
\input numstr.tex
\starttext
\numstr{-1}\par
\numstr{0}\par
\numstr{101}\par
\numstr{1001}\par
\numstr{101}\par
\numstr{1200021}
\stoptext
This produces output:
null
null
one hundred and one
one thousand one
one millionone
one million two hundred thousand twenty-one
which should be:
minus one
zero
one hundred and one
one thousand and one
one million and one
one million, two hundred thousand and twenty-one
In English, the tens/units (if not zero) should be preceded by and
if the number exceeds 100 (so 101 is correct in the above output).
This applies whether the tens/units is truly tens/units, or is a
thousands or millions multiplier (12 = one hundred and twenty
thousand).
The use of a comma after millions and sometimes thousands is helpful
but not essential, and it only appears in certain cases. I'll have to
think a bit more about a rule for that!
The use of a hyphen between tens and units (twenty-one) is not
incorrect but is nowadays probably regarded as a little old-fashioned
(but personally, I like it).
Best,
Robin

Yes - this works great now. Thank you for sorting out the TeX code,
which is like no other language I know ;-). I've changed only one
spelling (fourty - forty) and the rest looks perfect.
It would be nice if someone (one of the module tutorial attendants :-)
could wrap this command in a module for the contextgarden page.

Re: [NTG-context] texexec+mpost cmr10 vs CMR10 trouble using dvips backend
On 4/16/07, Sanjoy Mahajan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: can also try to create the pd file by hand with dvips -Ppdf test, that gave a correct output on my system. Thanks, that works. I guess -Ppdf tells it to use map files that find the type1 fonts, so cmr in the metapost figures is replaced by the lmodern .pfb. Oh, that's not what happens: it instead finds the cmr10.pfb and includes it correctly. So the final document uses lmodern for the page number (from the ConTeXt src file) and cmr10 for the 'hello' from the metapost figure. This is a hint that the underlying problem is related to map files. With the lm-rep maps the cm hello should become lmodern. Though I'm a bit scared of -Ppdf from years ago when I think it caused encoding problems. A few characters didn't show up correctly in the pdf file, but only when using non-cmr fonts. I think that was fixed long ago, but I rarely use .dvi anymore. -- George N.

Re: [NTG-context] using of field failed when arrange subpages
Hi everybody,
I figured out that it is not because the fields are not treated nor they are
overlapped by other materials. Only the JavaScript failed to excute the
Toggle_Hide function. When I deleted hidden from
\setupfield
[HelpSetup]
[width=1.2em,height=fit,frame=off,option={readonly,hidden}]
the fields are shown and fail to hide now. I think it can be a bug.
I'm still looking for a solution but I'm new to ConTeXt. I hope you can help
me with it. Any suggestion will be OK.

[NTG-context] \cite customisation
Hello! Using the bib module for Context for the first time, I wonder if there is a way to change the \cite definition in order to get something like this: \cite[a_schm:73] -- A. Schmitt, Entrückung (author name with initial, short title -- the real title is much longer) as it is common in the humanities, at least in Germany. I didn't find anything in that direction in former posts, I hope I haven't missed anything, and hacking the t-bib.tex file is nothing I can manage by myself. Have a nice week!

- ver: 2007.03.19 11:20 MKII fmt: 2007.4.2 (updated teTeX)

Re: [NTG-context] texexec+mpost cmr10 vs CMR10 trouble using dvips backend
George N. White III [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Your ConTeXt example is using the default latin modern fonts. The reason the mpost files work with plain TeX is that the cm fonts are being used by plain tex, so the fonts are already defined in the .ps file when the font commands in the figure file are found. That's 95% of the story, but I think with a small addendum. e.g. If the .tex file uses only cmr10 but fig.1 file uses cmsy7 for a subscript, dvips will handle it correctly and download cmsy7 into the .ps file. So it's not only that the fonts are defined in the .ps file, but that dvips knows how to handle the inclusion correctly when the font is listed in a fig.1 embedded by plain TeX. For debian, the procedure for changing updmap.cnf has been debianized, but it is mentioned in the README for the lmodern package Thanks, I didn't know about that. The directions are easy enough to do, esp. on an Ubuntu system. Though I prefer to use the vanilla system, so that I can test the distributions to see what works and breaks, and try to get the upstream folks to fix it. Although, I'm not sure who is the relevant upstream here. Mojca (off-list) suggested trying an older ConText and I'll try that. Meanwhile I'll put the 'dvips -Ppdf' workaround into my Makefiles. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R.

[NTG-context] arxiv.org: submitting ConText documents
Here is the (just tested!) procedure to submit ConTeXt documents to arxiv.org and also provide source. Suppose that document.tex is the source file, and has fig.mp as the figure file that produces fig.1, etc. 1. Generate document.ps using texexec --dvi --nobackend document.tex dvips -Ppdf document.dvi -o document.ps /* the -o in case of stupid systems that send the output to lpr by default */ 2. Make a directory src/ with document.tex and fig.mp. Then make a .tgz file for uploading. It is produced from this file structure document.ps src/ fig.mp document.tex e.g. by tar -czvf arxiv.tgz document.ps src/ 3. arxiv.org will generate PDF from the PS using ghostscript, so make sure that ps2pdf on document.ps produces a working PDF. 4. If all is well, upload arxiv.tgz as your submission using the usual arxiv.org submission (or replacement) procedure. Ideally you'll do step 4 at least 15 minutes (ideally an hour) before the 4pm (US Eastern) weekday deadline, so that you get back the submission date and preprint number from arxiv, leaving time for step 5 5. Incorporate the preprint number (or URL) and submission date into your document and produce an arxiv stampline along the left. Then remake document.ps and arxiv.tgz in step 2, and replace the previous submission with the new arxiv.tgz. 6. Check that all is well. When the paper becomes official (8pm US Eastern time), users should get three choices for format: PS (what you provided), PDF (generated by arxiv.org from the PS), and 'Other formats', which will offer an option to download source. Of course, all of the remaking should be done by a Makefile. You can see http://www.arxiv.org/abs/0704.1854 for an example with a Makefile.
