MK II ( \mainlanguage[fr] && \useencoding[ffr] )+ mpost
by aubin＠nibua-r.org 11 Oct '09

11 Oct '09

Hello, I'm trying to compile a product of a complex structure (env + project + product). - My useMPgraphics are included in a product using input - My environment starts with : enableregime[utf8] useencoding[ffr] mainlanguage[fr] just before startenvironment (else the horizontal spacing are not ok for my products, compiled as standalone documents) As is, the metapost processing halts on ! Illegal suffix of declared variable will be flushed. { l.149 path theshapemathortext { ;}{;} If I comment out *only* mainlanguage[fr], metapost's processings are OK but I have english labels (Content, Chapter...) instead of french ones (obviously). If I comment out *only* useencoding[ffr], metapost's processing areOK but horizontal spacing for punctation are not OK (i.e. with respect to french typographic standards). My question is : how I can obtain french labels + french punctuation SIMULTANEOUSLY ;) I use the up-to-date context/metapost from minimals... And I can't use MK IV since I need t-vim... (useencoding[ffr] is not known by MK IV as typeSTUFF from t-vim) Renaud

The layers I made include one graphic and two boxes of text. We use the graphic and two text boxes on the first page of a letter. The other pages use plain sheets of paper. You also showed me how to get the effect I want in a separate message. This solution worked perfectly. Thank you very much! The solution: > \usemodule[letter] > > \definelayer[PC][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] > > \startsetups PC > > \setlayer[PC][y=20pt]{...} > > \setlayer[PC][x=..,y=..]{...} > > \stopsetups > > \setupletterstyle[lettermain][setups=PC,background=PC] > > ... % more settings > > \starttext > > \startletter > ... > \stopletter > > ... % more letters > > \stoptext As I understand it, \setupletterstyle[lettermain][setups=PC,…] means that those setups are repeated with every letter. Hence, the desired effect. Thanks again! Michael

letter module: different first page for multiple letters in one file
by Michael Green 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

I have one file containing several letters that I process using Wolfgang's letter module. I have a special background for the first page of a letter. I define and set three layers: PCLogo, PCDept, and PCAddress. Here is a representative example: \definelayer [PCLogo] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, preset=lefttop, y=20pt, state=start] Then I make these layers backgrounds like so: \setupletterstyle[lettermain][background={PCLogo,PCDept,PCAddress}] The result I *get* is that the first letter in the file gets the background on its first page as normal. But the subsequent letters do not. Their first pages are plain. The result I *want* is for each letter to have the background on its first page, like the first letter in the file gets. How can I achieve that? Thank you! Michael

Installing minimals
by Alain Delmotte 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi! On the 16th of September I mentioned that I had problems to install the minimals. Further, on my portable, the one I used during EuroTeX I could not connect to INTERNET anymore even after changing the connection parameters!! I then decide to un-install the firewall program I use (COMODO -- which I disabled when I tried to install the minimals, but with no result) and... everything is now OK: I could reconnect and more important install the minimals. Still a problem using TeXworks: the synctex system is not working: neither adding -synctex=1 in Preferences or \synctex=1 at the start of the tex source. Synctex appeared only in MikTeX 2.7 by a special (?) instruction in the pdftex (?) program. Is synctex taken into account in context? Alain

\setupquotation affecting \quote
by Matthijs Kooijman 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, I've been trying to use \setupquotation, but it seems it doesn't just affect \quotation, but also \quote. In particular, setting style to tfb enlarges the font used by \quote and somehow removes the quotes from around it. Seeing that there is also a \setupquote, and from looking at the code, I think this is not supposed to happen. This happens with MkII as well as MkIV, it seems. The following example shows the problem: \starttext \quote{Foo} \setupquotation[style=tfb] \quote{Bar} \stoptext Gr. Matthijs
