Hi all,

I am new to this list, and to context also. So I apologize if my 
questions were already asked... (is there a FAQ or an archive list, 
btw?)

First as I am a mac-user, I made an enco-mac file (seems to work), 
and as I am also a french user I need to make double ponctuations ( 
";" "!" "?" ":" ) active in order to add a non breakable thin space 
before ";" "!" and "?" and a non breakable word space before ":" 
(that is the rule in french typography).

But of course I expect these characters dont remain active when 
coming back to an other language...

Any Idea ?

Hm. Can you explain this a bit more? Maybe there are better ways (|:| etc
or so);

ConTeXt on Mac?

Hey, you managed to get ConTeXt work on MacOS?
\stopenthusiasm

How? With OzTeX, CMacTeX or TeXtures?
What about the Perl scripts?

I tried it once with the environment Alpha, OzTeX and MacPerl and had no
success.
I would be glad, if I hadn't to boot Linux PPC only to work with ConTeXt.

Would you please send me your enco-mac.tex ?

I just install the context archive in a tds directory, built a 
cont-en format and test it with (very) simple demo files...
\stopallegromanontroppo

>How? With OzTeX, CMacTeX or TeXtures?

with CmacTeX which is a web2c distrib, have a pdfetex engine and 
support a \write18 command : I think it was the best challenger...
moreover : the future version 3.7 will run on macOSX (3.7beta already exists).

>What about the Perl scripts?

I had very bad experiences last year with mac perl and, as Hans says 
that use command line wad possible, I try it (I think that we can 
expect an unix port of perl that will run on mac OSX terminal 
anyway... also CMacTeX is Applescriptable, and may be it is an other 
way).

Here is what I do :

Get the context archive and install it in the tds tree.

set up pdfoutput in cont-sys.rme and copy it to cont-sys.tex

extending pdftex.cnf to huge values (as for context in texlive5 texmf.cnf)

setting memory allocated to pdfetex tool to 30Mo.

Generate the format :

execute pdfetex -ini -efmt=cont-en *cont-en.ini

move cont-en.efmt to cmactex/texformats

Now I can run context by calling pdfetex and selecting the cont-en 
format file in the format menu...

>Would you please send me your enco-mac.tex ?

ftp://gutenberg.eu.org/pub/gut/MAC/context/contrib/enco-mac.tex.sit.bin

Please note that file should go in a context/local directory.

please use the beta for this, and adapt enco-mac to suit the named glyphs
and regimes; probably it will be just an input filter

If the both of you write a nice summary of this, it can go into the
installation manual; i can also add a mac specific section to texexec.rme
if needed.

You're right: We need only an input regime like the 'applemac' encoding
for LaTeX's inputenc.

Hi

how can i get the figures/tables numbered "by section", but without
the prefixed section number? ("Fig. 1" not "Fig. 12.1")

Dear gang,

Is there a Context way of stamping a greyed <Draft> on each page of a 
document, like the TUG preprints?

Dear gang,

What is the best way in ConTeXt to define a word so that is does not 
hyphenate. E.g., 

\def\SAN{\hbox{{A\d{s}-\d{S}an\={a}`ah}}}

\SAN{} this is a test

\bye

does not work; it creates an unwanted line break (anyone know why?)

Best wishes
Idris

Hello all,

I am trying to create a simple flowchart:

\usemodule[chart]
\startFLOWchart[cells]
     \startFLOWcell
         \name       {first}
         \location        {1,1}
         \shape      {singledocument}
         \text       {not really a document}
     \stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart
\FLOWchart[cells]

When I process the tex file w/ "texexec --verbose --pdf test.tex", I 
have to press return once and enter '\end' manually. Is this correct? Is 
there something I need to fix? Thank you for any help.

BTW, this ConTeXt is installed on a MacOSX system by a package used by 
the latest TeXShop.

The following is the output with my two comments where I have to press 
enter or '\end':

Hi All,

Attached you find an example of pdftex's impressive protruding character
capabilities. I'm still experimenting with the right values, as well as
with the high level layer around the low level primitives. 

Since protruding is font design specific, it's part of the filename spec.
This functionality is present in the latest beta release.

There is a chapter on that in the dutch manual (around page
310); the english chapter on tables is being translated right
now. 

\starttable[|c|c|c|c|]

\VL aa \VL bb \VL cc \VL dd \VL\FR

More advanced stuff is coming (i'm working on that now) like
arbitrary backgrounds, overlapping backgrounds etc. That will be
the better mechanism, working in both tables and tabulate,

Concerning fonts (2 questions): 

I suppose taco knows more about this. Are you sure the ss is in
the font? Are you also sure that the font is in ec encoding? If
the glyphs are there and the encoding matches, things should go
ok. 

For those characters, try: texnansi, ec or il2. 

(Fonts is one the most complex things in tex, since one should
match input encoding with internal and font encoding).
