[NTG-context] Question: [mpost .. texnum.mpfatal: Command failed]
Hello,
I am using the default implementation of TeXLive 2010 which provides
MetaPost 1.211
on Windows 7. I'm getting a fatal error on texnum.mp on the simplest
possible use
of graph. Here is the simplest possible test case that shows the error:
input graph
end
Here is the error message I get.

Is there something I need to configure in TeXLive or my .mp file in
order to get this to work? Or is there some other debugging I can do to
determine
how to resolve this problem?

Re: [NTG-context] counter values as label names
Thomas and Aditya, thank you both for your replies! As Thomas already
suspected it was a mere typo that \advance\entrycounter lied outside of
the macro definition - sorry for the unnecessary confusion.
I tried to compile Aditya's attempt (MKIV ver: 2010.12.31) but receive
the following errors:
references : unknown reference [][lr:b:line:0]
! Missing control sequence inserted.
inserted text \inaccessible
I am not sure what you want to do,
My simple idea - being a total newbie to macro programming - was to
create an automation of the following, in which the unique numbers in
the label names would be inserted by a counter:
\starttext
\startlinenumbering
This is a sample %
% wrapper macro would start here
\startline[line:1]\pagereference[page:1]lemma\stopline[line:1]
\footnote{\at[page:1] \inline[line:1] some comment}%
% and end here
. \crlf
And this is another
\startline[line:2]\pagereference[page:2]one\stopline[line:2]\footnote{\at[page:2]
\inline[line:2] another comment}. \crlf
\stoplinenumbering
\bigskip
Endnotes
\placefootnotes
\stoptext
But probably my whole approach is completely out of the (Con)TeXt-Way of
thinking… (May it be possible to collect the endnotes into various
buffers and recurse over them at the end?)
Thanks for the hints,
Daniel

Here's a test file for what I try to do. The problem is that the page-
and linenumbers printed by \placefootnotes all take the values of the
last reference.

Finally: is the format of your apparatus (endnotes) a requirement?
Yes, unfortunately it is.
I am not sure what you want to do, but the following at least increments
the references (in MKIV)
\setupfootnotes

[NTG-context] In-text itemizations break spacing
Hi ConTeXtans, \startitemize[text] is a very cool command, but i run frequently into “Overfull \hbox” errors. It would be nice if some context magicians would change the ~1em-wide space in front of the “•” or “(1.)” to scale and compensate the majority of line width issues. (you can easily chop off or add loads of space to a 1em-space without making it ugly) i hope you dig my idea, Philipp PS: if somebody doesn’t know how \startitemize[text] looks like; about like this: „Formen sind • Überspringen von Exons, • Benutzung alternativer 3’- und 5’-Splice-Stellen, • und alle Kombinationen aus oben genanntem.“ (You’ll need a proportional Font to see this and gmail and the mailing list need to conserve the em quad…) ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
