Re: [NTG-context] several warnings after updating ConTeXt and LM fonts

After updating XeTeX binaries, warnings are disappeared but a new one. ** WARNING ** Could not open config file dvipdfmx.cfg. That one is completely/absolutely harmless. I'll create a fake (blank) file to remove the warning - sorry, forgot to do that before. The warning has been added for dvipdfmx users since they need to copy that file to a different location, but ConTeXt does not need it. I checked the lm-math.map and lm-rm.map in the folder ../dvipdfm/ context/ as Wolfgang suggested. They are there. They may be deleted (first-setup.sh --delete does that). With the new binary these maps should not be needed at all.

Re: [NTG-context] markup format --- ConTeXt
First of all, thank you for your propositions, About markup format: ( a markdown header ;-) Markdown seems an interesting one because: - it's alive (as many other format) - it's available in severall scripting languages (ruby, php, python...) - it seems extensible - it is (more or less) translatable to docbook (and finaly to xxTeX) so allows good quality pdf results About docbook: -- But one current need is about docbook, because file already exists as a dokuwiki hacked generated file (by a php expert from jelix team) ! So other wiki format is not an option? docbook is request About the pandoc tools: --- Le 3 juin 08 à 16:09, Gour a écrit : Take a look at http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ - it uses 'extended' markdown syntax and can export to ConTeXt. But Gour said alsewhere: ...it doesn’t handle tables,... Interesting, but a first try didn't compile with macport (GHC didn't compile). But not important: was just for trying... About dblatex tools --- It just works for now but need LaTeX custom style for advanced customisation which is much lower level than ConTeXt one, so... About ConTeXt tools(THE important information ;-)) === Le 3 juin 08 à 15:11, Hans Hagen a écrit : If some magic command (or a simple tutorial) like : texexec --docbook jelix-manual.xml do some equivalent work than the above dblatex, no doubt that the ConTeXt community will increase by more than 100%! i can probably cook up a basic docbook converter in a couple of hours but since i never run into docbook ... So instead of the not in ConTeXt objective expected response, this is a great news. For all (docbook + ConTeXt) tool maintainers like dbcontext or DocbookInContext, it is a great opportunity to help Hans defining a standard module which would then be maintain in the standard ConTeXt distribution. Other replies about dbcontext tools : - Le 3 juin 08 à 09:43, Wolfgang Schuster a écrit : - dbcontext seams not to be maintained very much I don't think the code in the module is nowadays a good example for writing a module because many low level commands are redefined and it should work now out of the box with the current code or better witth MkIV. I thought so, but ... Le 3 juin 08 à 20:22, nico a écrit : - dbcontext seams not to be maintained very much dbcontext is still alive, but asleep because of few users, and mostly works in the current state. You can give it a try. You can provide your own context layout to customize section titles and layout. It is much cleaner and easier than the latex .sty hack. As an example of the powerful layout capabilities that ConTeXt provides, you can build a PDF with a layout similar to what docbook FO does. So dbcontext resume in a ConTeXt module, it should be part od the context distrib (as a contrib): see above about Hans response. -- Maurice ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Last attempt: numbered margin notes in ConTeXt?
Hey friendly helpers, I see, this list is one for experts and programmers, less for simple users. But given that there is no list for beginners of ConTeXt, I make my last attempt to get help in the following problem: How to create _numbered_ margin notes in ConTeXt? I have already spent some week of my disposable time to that problem without success. I attach an example file as pdf, created in several attempts with OpenOffice-writer, with spare success and giving up after the 14th note on this half-page. But it can illustrate what I want and need: - Margin(al) notes, numbered/referenced like footnotes, preferably in the wider right margin of the page. - Each margin note possibly on the same line with the referenced word/ expression in the text body which shall be translated/explained = if possible, i. e. if this place is not yet occupied by a foregoing margin note for a word or phrase in the same or a former line. - In the latter case, the margin note shall be typeset _below_ the former margin note (without printing one note on the other). Is there a way to setup/define the inmargin in the preamble of a ConTeXt document but then getting this result with a normal or (foregoing defined) command? Any other advice for to get this result? Or is it - for TeXnical reasons - not possible to achieve this result with reasonable effort in ConTeXt neither? I would be happy to get assistance (best the necessary commands/setup text) or any other advice to get the wanted result.

You can remove this software, but I don't know how far to go. It takes some time experimenting. I've played around with this quite a bit and I always get about 2 gig of disk space. Without java, this could be 1.5 or so. Installing such a vm (vmware based) takes about 10-20 minutes, including all vmware hacks.
