hyphenation not working

hyphenation not working

[Paul Tremblay]

Has anyone else had problems with hyphenation? I have a brand new
version of ConTeXt, and cannot get one of its main features, hyphenation,
to work. 

I looked at the documentation, specifically the file called hypenation
patterns. According to this, I should be able to invoke a took called
ctxtools, or at least a tool called texmfstart ctxtools. Neither tool
exists with my distribution.

I do have a file called hyphen.tex. On Hans' suggestion, I copied this
to ushyph1.tex and ushyph2.tex. That didn't help. I also  changed my cont-usr.tex file, changing all lines that had ushyp* to hyphen. This also didn't work.

I am at a loss, and I consider hyphenation pretty important. How do I
proceed from here?

Thanks

Paul

did you run mktexlsr ?

another option is to fetch cont-pat.zip from our website and install that one in 
the same texmf tree as context; run mktexlsr, and regenerate the formats (with 
--all option)

i'd appreciate feedback about this working or not (since it's step 1 towards 
shipping context with its own instances of patterns)

I downloaded the patterns file and unzipped it. It put the following
directory in my texmf directory:

.tex/context/patterns

I then ran texhash. I then ran ./mktexlsr --all.

I then ran texexec test.tex.

Still no hyphenation. 

My log file is below.

At this point, you missed a step:

Hello folks,

I don't know, since I looked directly into the file structure. That is
because I run yet another ConTeXt mirror at 

http://mirror.contextgarden.net 

You all know that there is http://tex.aanhet.net/context/ (Taco's
mirror, click on the first link to get there - it leads you to
http://context.aanhet.net/ ). Both mirrors are updated several times a
day.

how to place figures next to each other

[Peter]

Dear list,

How can I place two figures next to each other without using a 
\startcombination ... \stopcombination group?

I now have this, but it is not what I want:

\gebruikexternfiguur[kortoctaaf][cekort][type=eps,hoogte=30mm]
\gebruikexternfiguur[gebrokenoctaaf][gebroken][type=eps,hoogte=30mm]
\plaatsfiguur
     [hier]
     [fig:klavieren]
     {Enkele varianten van het groot octaaf}
     {\startcombinatie[2*1]
     {\kortoctaaf}{kort octaaf}
     {\gebrokenoctaaf}{gebroken octaaf}
     \stopcombinatie}

I want to have the two figures numbered as seperate, independent 
figures, but when using a combination, the whole combination is treated 
as one figure and gets only one number and one label.

XXXX      XXXX
X  X      X  X
XXXX      XXXX

fig.n      fig.n+1

I've consulted the manuals and searched the list archives, but I have 
not found a solution.

tnx in advance,

Peter van Kranenburg

p.s. I've already sent this message to the list, thursday, but it didn't 
show up in my inbox. So this is another try.

When I click over the link "dir"
http://mirror.contextgarden.net/dir

I see:

Not Found

The requested URL /dir was not found on this server.

Re: yet another mirror

[Taco Hoekwater]

The virtual directories (/dir and /exalogin) cannot be mirrored
at the moment. The same problem occurs at htpp://context.aanhet.net

Hi Paul,

All of this must be maddening you by now. :'(

Mine does that as well, but somewhat deeper in the log file, it
restarts loading patterns, like this:


   (./cont-fmt.tex
   language        : patterns nl for nl loaded(n=1,e=texnansi,m=texnansi)
   (/home/taco/texmf/tex/context/patterns/lang-nl.pat)
   language        : hyphenations nl for nl loaded
   ...

culminating in :

   210 hyphenation exceptions
   Hyphenation trie of length 99454 has 4157 ops out of 35111
     117 for language 34
     31 for language 33
     ....<30 lines or so, counting down> ..
     265 for language 1


perhaps you also need to get the cont-tmf.zip from 'latest'? Mine has

ConTeXt  ver: 2005.03.16  fmt: 2005.3.19  int: english  mes: english


Good luck!

Taco

Yes, now that I look deeper down in my log file, I see the same. Oh
well. I guess I'll have to live without hyphenation. Just when I thought
I was getting somewhere.

So if I understand what you're saying, that suggests you do have the
capability for hyphenation somewhere in your system. What is your test
file? Can you strip it to its barest form?

You are getting somewhere. The format files that have been created
by texexec in that last 'texexec --make' know how to hyphenate text.
There is only one job left to do: making it so that 'texexec test'
uses the right (new) format file (and not the old one). Without
exact log files, I doubt I can sort that out for you, but assuming
you ran 'texexec --make' today, then 'texexec -version' should
report the following date info:

    context : ver: 2005.03.16
    cont-en : ver: 2005.03.16  fmt: 2005.3.19  mes: english
    cont-nl : ver: 2005.03.16  fmt: 2005.3.19  mes: dutch

if not, some files need to be copied.

Good luck,

Taco

That does show a fair bit of hyphenation, here. Taco says some wise
things, and here are a couple things to insert at the beginning of your
text that may help debug. (But, again, I'm no expert in this area.)


\the\hyphenpenalty % (50 on my system)

\showhyphenations{hypertextual}

I put these lines at the top of my file. My resulting dvi file shows
these lines:

50
language : en(code:1)
font : cmr12
encoding : default
mapping : default
sample : hypertextual

It seems that the hypen penalty is what it should be.

So your format with the new patterns is not used. You generated the
format Feb. 20 and downloaded the patters a few days ago. 

What happens if you run 

texexec --make --alone

and copy the cont-en.fmt (or whatever it is called now) into the
'correct' path? Or leave it in the path that your test file is in and
try the \showhyphenations{hypertextual} again.

Back from my rally. 

And, success! If I leave the cont-en.fmt file in the same directory as
I am running texeec, then I get hypenated text. So the goal is to move
it to my path. But where exactly is my path?

If I do a search for the cont-en.fmt file in texmf, I get:

./doc/man/man1/cont-en.1
./tex/context/base/cont-en.tex
./tex/context/config/cont-en.ini
./tex/context/interface/cont-en.xml
./context/data/cont-en-scite.properties
./cont-en.log
./cont-en.fmt

Thanks

Paul

Re: hyphenation not working

Hi Paul,

there should be some cont-en.fmt somewhere on your disk. Like
/usr/local/texmf/web2c/context/cont-en.fmt, but this is just a wild
guess. So you could copy your newly generated cont-en.fmt over the old
one.

Okay. I was looking for it in /usr/TeX/texmf directory. It was in

/usr/TeX/texmf-var/web2c

So everything works fine now. I assume that future versions of ConTeXt
will install this file correctly?

That should have been the case anyway. Can't tell you what went wrong.

  And in case that's unexpected: You need to run texexec --make, since 
patterns are loaded at format generation.

Re: how to place figures next to each other

[Matthias Weber]

The best I can get is

\starttext

\useexternalfigure[myfigure][filename][width=1in]

\placetable[here][tab:2figures]{none}
\starttable[|c|c|]
\NC
\placefigure[here]{My Caption 1}{\externalfigure[myfigure]}
\NC
\placefigure[here]{My Caption 1}{\externalfigure[myfigure]}
\NC
\FR
\stoptable

\stoptext


But something in \placefigure produces undesired glue so that the 
figures
end up in the margins.

Somebody else?

Thanks for the try. I've also tried columns. But the floating mechanism 
and columns/tables doesn't cooperate very well...

Maybe there is a way to increment the figure counter by hand? And to add 
a label for the added figurenumber? Then I can make the 
[2*1]-combination appear as two independent figures.

the only problem then is the caption of the combination. I don't want 
that caption, and I don't want the space that is occupied by that caption.
