[NTG-context] [t-vim] Line numbers
Hi everybodyoy
Hi Aditya
I like your t-vim module. I think it's a nice concept not te reinvent the
wheel and to take advantage of the hundreds of syntax files of the vim
contributors.
1) You have »Add line numbers« on your TODO list. What's the progress?
2) To set the font size I do the following, is there a better solution like
bodyfont=xyz for definetyping or is it just fine like this?
\definevimtyping [PHP] [
syntax=php,
before={\switchtobodyfont[small]},

Re: [NTG-context] some equivalent of latex beamer \item?
Hello Hans,
thanks for your reply.
This is
Installed Packages
Name: texlive-context
Arch: i686
Version : 2007
Release : 56.fc14
Size: 103 k
Repo: installed
>From repo : fedora
Summary : ConTeXt is a document preparation system based on TeX
URL : http://tug.org/texlive/
License : GPLv2 and BSD and Public Domain and LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ and LPPL
Description : ConTeXt is a document preparation system based on TeX.
on fedora 14 (latest release).
It seems that texlive is not the latest what you have. I don't know
whether that makes a difference.
In any case, I only have these here:
deukalion(pts/101)| locate s-pre-6
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-60.tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-61.tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-62.tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-63.tex
deukalion(pts/101)| locate s-pre-7
So, no s-pre-7*
In one of the 60 I have seen what seems to be what I asked for:
In s-pre-61.tex I see
\StartSteps
\startitemize
\item Mark Hollis \FlushStep
\item Roger Waters \FlushStep
\item David Gilmore \FlushStep
\item Peter Gabriel \FlushStep
\item Randy Newman \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\StopSteps
Obviously I have to define Steps and I am using for my presentation pre-fuzzy
How could I add Step to pre-fuzzy?
I have looked into s-pre-61.tex to see whether I could get an idea (I
apologise for my ignorance).
However, I do not see the function defined in it and, when I tried to
run texexec on "exemple.tex", which uses it as
\usemodule[s-pre-61]
\usemodule[amsl]
\useMPlibrary[txt]
\starttext
\Topic{And Some More}
\StartSteps
\startitemize
\item Mark Hollis \FlushStep
\item Roger Waters \FlushStep
\item David Gilmore \FlushStep
\item Peter Gabriel \FlushStep
\item Randy Newman \FlushStep

\stoptext

[NTG-context] attachment attaches twice
Hi I'm trying to use PDF attachments again, but run into some issues. Here's my small example (att.tex): %%% start %%% \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \useattachment[myfile][title][name][att.tex] \attachment[myfile] \stoptext %%% end %%% 1) Using context-current makes 1 attachment, whereas context beta makes 2 attachments (page + attachments tab?). I've attached the two generated PDFs. I guess the "attachments tab" attachment is not intended. 2) The third parameter should give a custom name for the attachment, and I recall this from old times (maybe mkii) to behave like that, though I can't reproduce this now. Is this broken (as it has no effect right now)? 3) I want to have some attachments (source code) from a url, can this be added to behave like \externalfigure? I want to use it like this: "\useattachment[myfile][title][name][http://git.example.com/master/att.tex]"; Right now that just attaches an "Unknown" (maybe shortcut) but it cannot be viewed/opened or saved.
