new version, new manuals, new files

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I uploaded a new version (stable and beta are now the same). This version 
inclused a few patches/extensions discussed recently. There is quite some 
new support for side floats, column sets have become rather stable (a 
manual will follow soon). Although a lot of functionality is still 'my 
little secret' to be revealed when users request it, you can ready find 
some info in

   www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals.details.pdf

so, this manual has now moved from temp. It has currently some 80+ pages, 
and will probably tripple in size over time. This manual provides you some 
info about how to apply the relatively new layer and related things. The 
idea is that this kind of detailed trickery and/or thinsg not related to 
structuring will be discussed in details.pdf, while the structuring ends up 
in the ref manual (i'll pick up that thread soon).

I also updated

   www.pragma-ade.com/show-fil.pdf

(made nicer, watch the new image archive),

   www.pragma-ade.com/show-man.pdf

(more manuals, not all yet on the site but i need the file here and it 
gives you an idea of what is coming),

   www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf

Next in my list of manuals is finishing the correspondence manual (letters 
and envelops and alike), the pstopdf manual, and a few more.

Happy reading and contexing,

Hans

hmm, i still get the old show-fil.pdf when i download it.
The mill.png in the cont-img.zip is broken. Gimp tells me that
this is due ascii conversion. I've used unzip with different
options, but always the same error.

layout of xsteps-p

[Gregory Vanuxem]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 131 bytes --]

Hello,

Is it possible to obtain the source of 
xsteps-p.

I like this layout, but it's difficult to realize the same.


				Cheers

I suppose that you mean the style? I'm not goint to publish undocumented 
styles (also, i took a quick look into it and could redo it in 30% less 
code nowadays [one problem is that there is more code in ther ethan used in 
the styles, esp alternative style code]

>I like this layout, but it's difficult to realize the same.

what aspect is giving you troubles, i can explain those

Yes,  I mean the style.

 In fact just how have the margin or edge ??? in black (with footer end
header),
 and the great title in (right and horizontal left).

backgrounds like this can be made with mp :

\setupbackgrounds
   [page]
   [offset=3mm,
    background=page]

\defineoverlay
   [page]
   [\reuseMPgraphic{page}]

\startreusableMPgraphic{page}
   StartPage ;
     path p ; p :=
       ulcorner Page --
       llcorner Page --
       llcorner Page shifted (BackSpace-LeftMarginDistance,0) --
       ulcorner Page shifted (BackSpace-LeftMarginDistance,0) -- cycle ;
    fill
      (p enlarged PageOffset) rightenlarged -PageOffset
      withcolor \MPcolor{FillColor} ;
   StopPage ;
   setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged PageOffset ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic

i use a dedicated head \Aspect{Bla bla}:

\definehead
   [Aspect]
   [subject]

\setuphead
   [Aspect]
   [command=\MakeAspect,
    color=lightgray,
    style=\bfb,
    before={\blank[2*big]},
    after={\blank[2*big]},]

\def\MakeAspect#1#2%
   {\hbox
      {\hskip-\marginwidth
       \hskip-\margindistance
       \framed
         [width=.5\textwidth,
          offset=2pt,
          frame=off,
          background=color,
          backgroundcolor=AspectColor]

interesting, maybe your mem values don't match the format values or so; do 
other miktex users have a this problem as well?

So, did you replace the old ConTeXt stuff with the new one?

If you keep getting the same error, what did you do between the

The author is one of many OS researchers who are attempting to unify the
name spaces
in the operating system in varying ways
[e.g. Pike {\sl "The Use of Name Spaces in Plan9"} ].
None of us are well funded compared with the size of the task,
and I am far from an exception to this rule. The natural consequence is
that
we each have attacked one small aspect of the task.

Databases have traditionally used balanced tree algorithms to pack many
small
objects (fields) into a block. However, various efforts to implement
filesystems
on top of databases failed for performance reasons, leading to a
widespread belief
that balanced tree algorithms were somehow inherently too slow for use by
filesystems for traditional filesystem usage patterns, which would
of course imply that the status quo is well founded, and databases and
filesystems should be separate programs....
We suggest to the reader that it was just that better balanced tree based
storage layer
implementations were needed, and that in fact balanced trees offer better
performance
for traditional file system usage patterns than traditional file system
architectures.
We encourage perusal of our benchmarks.

Your test file runs perfectly fine here (absolutely latest
MiKTeX).

Did you generate the .mem file via texexec --make metafun? Please
observe that this puts the .mem file in the wrong directory, you
must move it manually to the correct place. Also, you may want to
make sure that your local texmf tree is searched before the global
one (you can do this via MiKTeX Options).

Good to know :) Maybe you should follow up to your bugreport in

That is nice. From time to time I like to scan sites like pragma for 
updates I think I need. However the manual items do not have version 
numbers or a version date such as the context beta download. The stuff 
is too large to download just for looking at its version inside. Is it 
a good suggestion to show version/date on the manual items too on the 
download page? I would appreciate.

You can look at the directory listing (thanks that Hans or his provider 
didn't block it!) and see the upload date.

there's a file overview.dat which you can feed into wget; maybe wget can 
just upload the changed files (don't know); anyhow, some 
sync-your-local-context thingies in on my agenda

Good, but I am accessing the file though a browser, not through ftp. 
The download page has not revealed upload dates, at least not to me. 
But I may be lookingin the wrong places. Can you be more specific, 
please.

You don't need an FTP client for that.
The directory listings are made by the web server, not by the client.
Just try: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/
or: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/
