[NTG-context] ppctex + pstricks on texlive2009

2009-12-12 Thread Patrice Mégret
Dear all,

I have installed texlive2009 in place of texlive2007 and I can no longer 
compile programmes combining pstricks and ppchtex.

The following example gives me an error (it is still working on texlive2007 on 
another pc)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage[pstricks]{m-ch-en}

\listfiles
\begin{document}
\chemical{O_2}
\startchemical
\chemical[SIX,B1..6,R1..6,RZ1..3][CH_3,CH_3,OH]
\stopchemical
\end{document}


! Undefined control sequence.
l.4441 \writestatus
   {loading}{ConTeXt System Macros / General}
?
! Emergency stop.
l.4441 \writestatus
   {loading}{ConTeXt System Macros / General}
End of file on the terminal!

I have no idea how to cope with that error.



Any help is welcome.


Best regards,

Patrice

Re: [NTG-context] Bug with overprinting in Mark II/IV?

Hi Peter,

Peter Rolf indi...@gmx.net writes:

 I get the same 'kind of knockedout' text as in the other example...
 but the black text is set as /DeviceGray and not /DeviceCMYK
 (k-component). You can make this visible by using
 'Vorschau: Separiert' with the option 'Einblenden: Nicht-DeviceCMYK'.

 I think this is just a limitation of the previewer. You can define
 your own cmyk black with \definecolor[myblack][k=1]. I bet that the
 knockedout effect will vanish with cmyk black (untested).

You're right.  With k=1, the 'kind of knockedout' vanishes.  Thank you
very much, Peter!

So is it advisable to change all black to cmyk black or can I safely
rely on the DeviceGray black?

 Can you test the following?  My Acrobat is on a machine without net, and
 my usb stick broke within the experiments.  

 prepress mess + bad luck = *have a break and enjoy your weekend* :)

Well, due to your kind help, I'm able to do so now :-)

Thanks again,
 olli

Use CMYK. IIRC AR preflight warns about overprinting etc. not working
with Gray.

if needed i can make that an option at some point (as we already have 
more such auto conversion options)

Re: [NTG-context] margin option in itemize

2009-12-12 Thread Curiouslearn
Thanks Wolfgang and Luigi. Luigi's solution worked well.
Unfortunately, left={hspace[normal]} did not give the desired outcome.
The item symbols were still at their original location.

I have a follow up question. Based on your solution I also tried
left=\hskip 2.10em, which works too? Is there a reason why \kern is
better than \hskip?

Thanks.

Re: [NTG-context] overprinting backgrounds

2009-12-12 Thread Oliver Heins
Hi Martin,

Martin Schröder mar...@oneiros.de writes:

 Am 11. Dezember 2009 18:48 schrieb Oliver Heins o...@sopos.org:
 schön von dir zu hören :).  Ich hoffe, dir geht es gut!

 Yep. Und nächstes Jahr komme ich auch mal nach Hannover. :-)

Und ich vielleicht nach Dortmund, schließlich ist da Tagung :)

 It's typical for printing houses to set 100% black to overprint in the
 preprint workflow (can also be done with Acrobat).

 Das heißt, dass die Druckerei schwarzen Text, der in meinem PDF auf
 Knockout steht, noch auf Overprint umschalten kann?

 Sollte sie, weil das ist eine ganz normale Anforderung: Schwarzer Text
 soll überdrucken. Das geht auch im Acrobat (Preflight und dann in den
 Profilen suchen).

Hab ich jetzt gefunden, danke.  War hilfreich, um das Problem zu
verstehen.

 Mein Problem ist, dass die Druckerei anmeckert, dass ein Bereich mit
 schwarzem Text vor einem Hintergrundbild eben nicht auf Überdrucken
 gestellt ist.  Was aber eben nur halb wahr ist: Der Bereich ist sehr
 wohl auf Überdrucken gestellt (kann man im Acrobat unter
 Ausgabevorschau-Vorschau-Farbwarnungen-Überdrucken_anzeigen sehen
 kann), gleichwohl wird schwarzer Text (und nur schwarzer! andere Farben
 werden korrekt separiert!), wenn man die schwarze Farbe in der Vorschau
 entfernt, regelrecht aus dem Hintergrundbild herausgeschnitten:
 http://www.sopos.org/olli/overprinting.jpg

 403 :-(

Wenn man's nicht jedesmal überprüft... scp erhält offensichtlich die
Dateirechte, und die waren auf 0600 gesetzt :(  Jetzt sollte es
funktionieren.

Das Problem scheint allerdings gelöst: ein Fehler in der Anzeige des
Acrobat im Zusammenhang mit der /DeviceGray-Farbpalette.  Wenn man
cmyk-Schwarz benutzt oder das Dokument dahin konvertiert, geht alles.
:-)

 Ich bin Montag wieder am Arbeitsplatz und habe dann Zugriff auf einen
 Acrobat.

Ich sende dir Montag mal einen Link zur aktuellen Version der Broschüre.
Wäre toll, wenn du kurz einen Blick drauf werfen könntest, ob dir etwas
auffällt.  Im Prepress-Bereich bin ich blutiger Anfänger :(

Herzlichen Gruß,
 olli

[NTG-context] How to use vim's syntax folding

2009-12-12 Thread Hubertus
Hello,
I was wondering it there's an easy way how I can use vim's syntax-folding. I've
checked the context syntax files, but there doesn't seem to be anything there. I
also had a brief look at the folding.vim from the LatextSuite, but alas could
not adapt it easily. Is there anyone using this feature?

thx
Hubertus
