debian package on contextgarden.net
by Mojca Miklavec 27 Dec '06

Hello, There was no voice from Patrick for a long time, but in case he's still reading his mail occasionally: He wanted to upgrade the TeX distribution on contextgarden.net. Couldn't the new Debian package be used for that? (Which would probably mean that one would get/could experiment with XeTeX and perhaps even luatex "for free" then.) Mojca

ugly bug in sometxt
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hello Hans, I don't understand how I managed not to spot this before since I use it frequently, but \sometxt seems to scale the labels according to the last defined label. In other words, if one defines one \sometxt{short} in the first graphic and one \sometxt{\dorecurse{10}{very }long} then the first text will be scaled to the length of the second one. Mojca \setupcolors[state=start] \setuptyping[file][option=TEX] % In my opinion this should be the default \chardef\TeXtextcolormode\zerocount \def\getexample{\placefigure[force]{none}{\getbuffer}} \startbuffer \startMPcode draw fullcircle xyscaled (3cm,2cm); label(\sometxt{Hello world!}, origin); \stopMPcode \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getexample \startbuffer \startTeXtexts \TeXtext{1}{Hello} \TeXtext{2}{world!} \stopTeXtexts \startMPcode draw sometxt(1) withcolor red; draw sometxt(2) shifted (2cm,0) withcolor blue; \stopMPcode \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getexample \startbuffer \def\ForThoseWhoReallyHateLongCommands#1% {\framed[framecolor=blue]{\strut\bs #1}} \definetextext[xs]{\ForThoseWhoReallyHateLongCommands} \startMPcode picture p; p = \sometxt[xs]{Framed title with eXtra Small overhelm}; fill bbox p withcolor .7white; draw p; \stopMPcode \stopbuffer \typebuffer % try to uncomment this one \getexample \stoptext

bib: 'note' from book entry appears in incollection entry
by Sanjoy Mahajan 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

The 'note' field in the entry for the book appears in the incollection entry as well. Here's a test file to show what I mean: =================== begin: test.tex ================== \usemodule[bib] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbibtex[database=talk] \setuppublications[alternative=num] \starttext See \cite{Ericsson:2006}. \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext =================== end: test.tex ================== It uses the bib file below. In the bibliography in test.pdf, the 'note' for the main book appears both with the book (which is good) but also with the chapter entry (which is not so good). It might be a general bibtex problem, because latex+bibtex does the same thing. Well, it does once I lost the battle with automatic crossref inclusion and had to cite the book entry by hand (the context bib module handled it fine citing just the chapter). =================== begin: talk.bib ================== @Book{Ericsson:Charness:Feltovich:Hoffman:2006, editor = {K. Anders Ericsson and Neil Charness and Paul J. Feltovich and Robert R. Hoffman}, title = {The {C}ambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, year = 2006, address = {New York}, note = {This collection cannot be recommended highly enough}, } @InCollection{Ericsson:2006, author = {K. Anders Ericsson}, title = {The influence of experience and deliberate practice on the development of superior expert performance}, booktitle = {The {C}ambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, crossref = {Ericsson:Charness:Feltovich:Hoffman:2006}, pages = {683--703}, year = 2006, chapter = 38, address = {New York}, note = {This collection cannot be recommended highly enough}, } =================== end: talk.bib ================== ConTeXt ver: 2006.12.07 18:22 MK II fmt: 2006.12.11 int: english/english -Sanjoy `Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.'

bib entries missing full stops in "unpublished" and "book" types
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

In the PDF output from this file (and bib file below), the full stop (a.k.a. period) is missing after "editors" ad the title in the first entry, and after the author ("...Foundation") in the second entry. ====================== proposal.tex ====================== \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=proposal] \setuppublications[alternative=num] \starttext Try \cite{HPL:2000} and \cite{GPLv3}. \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext ========================================================== ===================== proposal.bib ====================== @Unpublished{GPLv3, author = {Free Software Foundation}, title = {{\sc gnu} {G}eneral {P}ublic {L}icense revision}, month = {November}, year = 2006 } @Book{HPL:2000, editor = {John D. Barnsford and Ann L. Brown and Rodney R. Cocking}, title = {How people learn: Brain, mind, experience, and school}, publisher = {National Academy Press}, year = 2000, address = {Washington, DC}, edition = {expanded}, } ===================== end proposal.bib ====================== It works fine in latex with the same proposal.bib, using this latex file: ====================== tlatex.tex =================== \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Try \cite{HPL:2000} and \cite{GPLv3}. \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{proposal} \end{document} ====================================================== I tried comparing the {book} and {unpublished} code in cont-no.bst and plain.bst (latex) but didn't have much luck figuring out why the full stops are missing. I've never noticed it with regular books (with just authors), only with editors. And I hadn't tried an unpublished entry before with ConTeXt. context version: 2006.11.22 11:02 / Ubuntu Linux / i386 BibTeX 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.4) p.s. Should this mail go to dev-context or to the main list? -Sanjoy `Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.' (John Lennon)
