[NTG-context] Installation on Windows fails with "unknown script 'texexec.lua' or 'mtx-texexec.lua'"

[Linus Källberg]

Hi,

 

I followed the installation instructions for Windows on "ConTeXt Minimals", 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals. Since I have MiKTeX installed, 
I used the command line method, as suggested. However, when I try to run 
context according to the "Usage" section, I get the following error message: 

 

MTXrun | unknown script 'texexec.lua' or 'mtx-texexec.lua'

 

Any suggestions on what have gone wrong? Thanks.

 

Kind regards,

/Linus

It might help to request it explicitely (--extras=t-fullpage or all)

[NTG-context] Sorting the content of \startlines

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Is there a way to sort the content of \startlines envinroment by the 
alphabet? I have a list of songs in arbitrary order, and what to output 
it in alphabetical one.


ex.:

\starttext
\subject{My set-list}
\startcolumns\startlinenumbering\startlines
Fly me to the moon
Hit the road jack
Sway
Libertango
Sunny
% and more titles
\stoplines\stoplinenumbering\stopcolumns
\stoptext

I just synchronized with beta minimals, and no fullpage module is 
included :(

Re: [NTG-context] Questions about \setuphead and \framed

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Am 20.04.10 23:01, schrieb Michael Ewe:

1 The frames in the chapter both headings are much bigger than in the normal
text.
   
The chapter insert it's own strut in the number and the text and 
changing/disabling
the strut in the header command is useless here (it's a bug but i'll 
report this

in another mail)

2 The gap between the chapter number and the chapter name is different for
chapter 1 (on page 1) and chapter 2 (on page 2). The word "test" is not
aligned
   
Setting a font for style is not the same as setting it to textstyle and 
numberstyle.

3 The value of "strut" has no effect at all.
   
strut in \setuphead accepts only yes and no, in \framed you can use the 
values

yes, no, global and local, dimensions are no legal argument.

Since you haven't shown what dou want to achieve i can only guess but maybe
this setup is what you want:

\definefont[FontA][Sans at 36pt]

\defineframed[chapterframe][offset=0pt,strut=local]

\definehead[ChapterA][chapter]

\setuphead
  [ChapterA]
  [deeptextcommand=\chapterframe,
   deepnumbercommand=\chapterframe,
   distance=0pt,
   style=FontA]

\starttext
\ChapterA{Test}
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] ! Undefined control sequence

Hello Wolfgang,

It works event without \setvariables:

\defineitemgroup[Tst]
\setupTst[1][n,\getvariable{tst}{broad}*broad]
\starttext
\setvariables[tst][broad=1]
\startTst
\item text
\stopTst
\setvariables[tst][broad=5]
\startTst
\item text
\stopTst
\stoptext

But why? I don't see any "\noexpand" in the definition of \getvariable...
   

Not sure but it could be possible \setvariables makes only a one level
expansion and in this case you get '\csname ...broad\endcsname*broad'
but not the the number itself.

Wolfgang

yes (example works) and no (no general solution) :)

I updated the example (end of mail). Haven't looked into the code, but
this looks like an indexing problem to me. If \@@mc4 stands for 'multi
column 4' we are in trouble, because only three columns are used here.

[NTG-context] Problems with metapost in texlive 2009

[Ram Potluri]

I had a working installation of texlive 2007 on my opensuse 11.0
machine. I had metapost
working nicely converting my *.mp files into *.pdf files. Yesterday, I
upgraded to texlive
2009 that is available at
http://software.opensuse.org/search/download?base=openSUSE%3A11.0&fil...

I installed all the upgrades of the following packages:

texlive
texlive-bin-tools
texlive-bin-metapost
texlive-bin-latex
texlive-bin
texlive-tools
texlive-metapost
texlive-latex
texlive-context
texlive-latex-doc

To test my installation, I ran the command mptopdf on some mp files
that
I had successfully converted to pdf on the earlier installation. Here
is the
message I am seeing for one such file (blk.mp):

r...@linux-94ai:~/Desktop> mptopdf blk.mp
MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.12
seconds

MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : running 'mpost --mem=mpost   --tex=latex  blk.mp'
This is MetaPost, version 1.208 (kpathsea version 5.0.0)
! I can't find file `blk.mp'.
<*> blk.mp

Please type another input file name:

You see, the file blk.mp is very much present in the directory (~/
Desktop).

Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,
Ram.
