\FlushStep in module s-pre-50 adds too much space

\FlushStep in module s-pre-50 adds too much space

[Curious Learn]

Hello,

I tried using module s-pre-50 to get stepwise revelation of the content in my
presentation today. I noticed that the command \FlushStep adds what seems to be
too much space between successive items. Is there a way, I can prevent
\FlushStep from adding this much space.

Thank you.

depends on mkii vs mkiv

in mkii it's injecting nodes, so you need to keep the \FlushStep 
attached to the previous paragraph if possible like here\FlushStep

in mkiv it should not matter

Thank you Hans. I will try to install Context Minimals in a couple of days. In
MKII it does not help even if I keep it attached to the previous paragraph. 

The reason I have not been installing Context Minimals is that I am not sure how
I will make the text editor I use (TextMate) to use it. The instructions for Mac
OS X talk about TexShop and another one, but not textmate. Also, from the
instructions (for Mac OSx) it is not clear whether it will install the latest
stable version or the latest beta. 

If anyone can clarify these things that would be great.

In any case, when will MKIV be included in the TexLive distribution.

I don't know this, I have never used TextMate. Normally, if you open your 
editor from a terminal, you can just source setuptex before opening your 
editor, and everything should work fine.

Mac installation is same as any other Unix like system. See details at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals. By default, beta 
installation is installed, but you can pass --context=current to get the 
stable distribution.

> In any case, when will MKIV be included in the TexLive distribution.

It already is. See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV

Bascically, you need to run luatools --generate and context --make, then 
you can you context filename to use mkiv.

it is in 2008 and will be in 2009 but even then, because luatex/mkiv 
moves fast you need to update rather frequently (there will be update 
packages for tex live once that infrastructure is up and running; 
norbert and mojca proved that it could be done)

Re: \FlushStep in module s-pre-50 adds too much space

[Curious Learn]

Thanks very much for replying. From your replies, it seems easiest to do what
Aditya suggested; use the commands

luatools --generate
context --make

I looked at this message and also went to the link he had in his message. 

My question is, am I supposed to be in any specific folder when I run those. I
went to terminal (on Mac OS X) and typed

luatools --generate

but got the following message:


LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file
LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file
LuaTools | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known)
LuaTools | 
LuaTools | runtime: 0.002 seconds

Can someone please help? I know nothing about Unix. 

Thanks very much.

Perhaps I am not getting something which I should. Wolfgang, it seems to me that
the links that you have suggested talk about installation of Context minimals
and then how to get it working. I want to use MKIV that comes with TexLive. I
already have TexLive. I thought that by running the "luatools --generate"
(without the quotes), and the other command mentioned by Aditya, I can use MKIV
that comes with TexLive and do not necessarily need to install minimals. Am I
wrong in thinking that?

Actually, I find safe to keep separate texlive , context minimals and
context minimals-beta.
TL2008 is the best for latex ,etex, pdftex  and so on,
but mkiv/luatex in TL2008 are already old .
I think that minimals are updated about every 3/5 months, even less
for minimals-beta .

When I tried to use MkIV from TeXLive I failed too but I don't need  
LaTeX
and can live with the minimals.

Re: \FlushStep in module s-pre-50 adds too much space

[Curious Learn]

Okay, I have installed the minimals. It works with a file I tried without tikz.
The examples on the wiki also work well. It does not work with a file that has
tikz code in it. It stops compiling with

! Undefined control sequence.
l.13 \starttikzpicture


Does Tikz not work with mkiv?

Thanks.

It does. The above error basically means that you do not have tikz 
installed. Does your log file say that module tikz was not found?

When you install the minimals, add
   --extras=t-tikz
either to first-setup.sh or run ./first-setup.sh --extras=t-tikz

(Run "luatools --generate" afterwards.)

Thanks Aditya and Mojca. Mojca, I tried running that; a lot of things happen,
but the process stops with following lines (last few lines I copied and pasted

You need a recent LuaTeX.
