Patrcick,
Would you mind posting a link to your talk here too? (I don't
subscribe to the
ConTeXt mailing list anymore)

Haris,
In general, I believe that you can use plain tex commands, but
ConTeXt also provides a complete macro
set built on TeX, so that you do not need to use plain TeX commands.
I've attached a good template file from Sanjoy Mahajan that you can
typeset in TeXShop.

\title{Hello, world!}
Here is a hello-world template document to illustrates a few \ConTeXt\
features. Have fun. You can find a lot more information at
\from[wiki]; the preceding text should be colored and clickable, and
clicking it should take you to the wiki.
\subject{A list}
Here is an example of a list.
\startitemize[a] % tags are lowercase letters
\item first
\item second
\item third
\stopitemize
\subject{Math}
An equation can be typeset inline like $e^{\pi i}+1=0$, or as a
displayed formula:
\startformula
\int_0^\infty t^4 e^{-t}\,dt = 24.
\stopformula
% don't use $$...$$ (the plain TeX equivalent)
You can also have numbered equations:
\placeformula[eq:factorial-example]\startformula
\int_0^\infty t^5 e^{-t}\,dt = 120.
\stopformula
And you can refer to them by name. I called the previous equation {\tt
factorial-example}, and it is equation \in[eq:factorial-example].
\ConTeXt\ figures out the number for you. And with interaction turned
on, you can click on the equation number to get to the equation.
\subject{Text with figures}
Now text with a few figures. The first figure goes on the right, with
the paragraph flowing around it.
\placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
\input tufte
The next figure will go inline, like a displayed formula:
\placefigure[here,none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
\input tufte
Here's another reference to the numbered equation -- equation
\in[eq:factorial-example] on \at{page}[eq:factorial-example], so that
you can test clicking on it or on the page reference.
% most plain TeX commands work

Hi,
I noticed some weird indentation problem when using "Insert as
Snippet" as the output for a command. I reduced it to a simple test
case (at least I hope):
Make a command with
Output: "Insert as Snippet"
Command: echo -n "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT"
Example text:
✂------✂------✂------✂------
- list1
[tab]- indented list2
paragraph 1
paragraph 2
✂------✂------✂------✂------
If I select the text somewhere in the first line to the end and run
the command, nothing changes, which is good.
If I select the text somewhere after the tab in the second line to
the end I get this:
✂------✂------✂------✂------
- test list
[tab]- test indented list
[tab]paragraph 1
[tab]paragraph 2
✂------✂------✂------✂------
If I use "Replace selected text" instead, this doesn't happend.
So, if I understand this right: When a command inserts a snippet on a
indented line, everything in the snippet is indented. Why?
Just in case, I deselected "Re-indent pasted text" in the prefs,
still the same.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Hi,
I was wondering if there's an easy to to prefix or suffix selected
lines with a string.
Anyone who has used BBEdit will know what I am taking about.
I assume there is a way to do this, but I was hoping to avoid regular
expressions other overly complex gyrations.
Thanks in advance.
I've found this topic a few times in the archives, but never came up
with a definitive answer.
I'm using Textmate for basic XHTML/CSS/JavaScript editing and while
Camino and Safari happily pop right up when I choose "Open Document
in Running Browser(s)" and Refresh when I pick "Refresh Running
Browser(s)" but Firefox responds a bit differently.
It doesn't respond at all to "Open Document in Running Browser(s)"
and Refresh Running Browser(s)" just opens a new, empty, window or tab.
It's a bit frustrating as Firefox is my browser of choice for working
on sites, thanks of course to the Web Development plugin among others.
Any advice?
Hi all.
I've just finished the 0.1 release of a command I've been working on
tonight, based on Tom Counsell's (http://tom.counsell.org/view/
ExcelToLatexTableConvertor) excel2latex, that will take an excel
table from clipboard (copy from excel. doesn't work for selected text
yet.) and run by typing excel[tab] (excel⇥').
It requires that the longtable package is included, but if you're
working with tables, you'll probably want that anyway. This isn't
perfect, you'll probably want to change the '\begin{longtable}{c c c
c c c }' to format the rows how you like, but it seems to work for me.
let me know what you think. I know this saves me a lot of time, so I
hope it will for you too.
Cheers, Al.

Hello!
Two Problems on the Latex bundle.
I have a project structure like this:
-Projectfolder
projectmain.tex (master file)
-- subfolder1
-- file_1_1.tex
-- file_1_2.tex
-- subfolder 2
-- file_2_1.tex
When I now drag file file_1_2.tex into file_2_1.tex,
I get
\include{../subfolder1/file_1_2.tex}
The problem is, that I´get an error, because the file
can not be found. The file path has to be
\include{subfolder1/file_1_2.tex}
because it depends on the master file. But when I then
invoke the command "Show outline", the file file_1_2.tex
is not found, because it expects the path as the first
statement.
Another problem is, that latex does not typeset the
files, that where included. Why does the drag command
produce a include command?

Hi,
Is there a way to setup Textmate (for Ruby on Rails development) such that
when I'm "tailing" the error log I will get different line colors for errors
based on the severity of the error?
Eg
- logger.error ('xxx') => RED
- logger.warning ('xxx') => ORANGE
- etc
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to crate a simple snippet so that tab
completion: //(tab) will insert CSS comments and wrap any text on the
line if applicable.
I've got so far as this:
/* ${1:${TM_CURRENT_LINE/(^\s+)(.+;)/$2/g}} */
$2
Which when you feed something like:
//(tab)some-property: some-value;
Produces output:
/* some-property: some-value; */
some-property: some-value;
What I would like is to delete the second instance. Is there any
way? Or, will I just have to settle for selecting the text and
create a key equivalent snippet (which means I have one snippet for
plain comment and another for wrapping...).
Oh and one other question about snippets: in the sequence ${«tab
stop»/«regexp»/«format»/«options»} what are the options? I stuck with
g because that's what I had seen.
thanks in advance,
Gabriel
