DocbookInContext: new version uploaded
by Simon Pepping 23 Dec '02

23 Dec '02

Hi, I have uploaded a new version of DocbookInContext. This version has an implementation of blockquote, epigraph and attribution. After the long thread on customization on this list, I dived into Context's customization API. I have succeeded to use it and enable customization for blockquote, epigraph and attribution. See the file Customization.xml for details. This does not include the type of customization for attribute values, that was also discussed on this list. That would require much more work, so I put it on some stack. :-) You can find DocbookInContext at http://www.hobby.nl/~scaprea/context/.

University of Twente mirror down
by Gilbert van den Dobbelsteen 23 Dec '02

23 Dec '02

Hi ConTeXt fans, Due to maintainance, the University of Twente mirror was brought down. The whole machine will be upgraded to apache 2.0.43 and the latest linux stuff. All hardware will be upgraded, and the new machine setup will be more fault-tolerant, since it is a clustered linux solution. I will try to bring it up before christmas, and since my boss encouraged me not to make any more hours this year for the University, I am pretty confident it will work.... Greetings, Gilbert. --- A TeX a day keeps word perfect away

update swedish in lang-ger.tex?
by Mikael Persson 21 Dec '02

21 Dec '02

Hi there! I had a look at lang-ger.tex and it seems to need a update for the swedish language in the setuphead names. \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!tabellen=Tabellen] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!tabellen=Tabeller] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!figuren=Figuren] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!figuren=Figurer] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!grafieken=Grafiskt] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!grafieken=Grafik] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!intermezzos=Intermezzot] should be (I think) \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!intermezzos=Intermezzon] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!index=Index] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!index=Sakregister] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!afkortingen=F\oumlaut rkortningen] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!afkortingen=F\oumlaut rkortningar] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!logos=Logo] should be (I think) \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!logos=Loggor] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!eenheden=Enheten] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!eenheden=Enheter] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!grafiek=Grafisk ] should be \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!grafiek=Grafik ] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!regels=raden ] should be \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!regels=rader ] Then there were also some things that didn't have any swedish parts: \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!pagina=Sida ] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!oppagina=p\aring\ sida ] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!hierboven=se ovan] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!hieronder=se nedan] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!zie=se ] That was all I guess. I hope this makes sense, so I'm not looking in an obsolete file or something like that (I started learn ConTeXt just a week ago...). I also have some questions: 1) When I want to load swedish (so I get Innehållsförteckning instead of Contents and so on), how do I do? I read the manaual, but I didn't really understood how to do. I have tried this: * run texexec --lang sv en and then * \language[sv] in the file * \installlanguage[sv] But no luck. 2) Is there a way to make multiple pdf files output from one file. Say, I want to get one pdf for every page I have. (The reason I want this, is that I want to typeset some pictures in ConTeXt and then include them in my LaTeX project. I don't want to "convert" my LaTeX project (about 200 pages) into ConTeXt) So, what I want is something like: \starttext \startpdfpage[picture1] Stuff that will appear in picture1.pdf \stoppdfpage \startpdfpage[picture2] Stuff that will appear in picture2.pdf \stoppdfpage . . . \stoptext =========== Since this is my first post, I would also like to thank you for making ConTeXt available for free. If I could help with some swedish tranlations or similar I would be glad to. Regards, Mikael Persson

Problem with figuretext in recent betas
by Michael Guravage 21 Dec '02

21 Dec '02

I have encountered a problem while compiling a document with figuretext; I have attached a small example that demonstrates the problem, and its accompanying log file. The problem occurs in the current beta: 2002.12.17, and the beta from 2002.12.01. The problem does not occur in the beta from 2002.10.23. Though it's only a minor annoyance, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Michael

UTF8 problems with Hangul Syllables
by Cho, Jin-Hwan 20 Dec '02

20 Dec '02

Here is my comment and question on the new feature of ConTeXt supporting the UTF8 encoding. Actually I tried to test the following short ConTeXt document containing two Korean characters. At the second line I used the Bitstream Cyberbit font and the corresponding TFM files were generated by ttf2tfm with Unicode.sfd (the same way as the UTF8 support in CJK-LaTeX). \enableregime [utf] \definefontsynonym [UnicodeRegular] [cyberb] \chardef\utfunihashmode=1 \starttext ^^eb^^bf^^a1 ^^ec^^80^^80 \stoptext Here, ^^eb^^bf^^a1 = U+BFE1 and ^^ec^^80^^80 = U+C000. 1. Without the third line (\chardef\utfunihashmode=1), I could not see any characters. Why? 2. After enabling \utfunihashmode, I could see the first character. But not the second character. The difference was that the value of \unidiv were 191 for the first character and 192 for the second character. In fact, all characters with \unidiv >= 192 and \unidiv <= 223 (from U+C000 to U+DFFF; half of Hangul Syllables) were not shown correctly. Why? Anyway, it is now possible to get a PDF file containing several different languages with ConTeXt + dvipdfmx. Furthermore, the texts in the PDF file can be searched and extracted. Bookmarks and text annotations too! I used the following map entry (usually in cid-x.map) for dvipdfmx. cyberb@Unicode@ Identity-H :0:cyberbit.ttf Best, ChoF. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** | Cho, Jin-Hwan == ChoF | ^ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o | Research Fellow | ~~~ | School of Mathematics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Korea Institute for Advanced Study | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | chofchof(a)ktug.or.kr | | http://free.kaist.ac.kr/ChoF/ | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DocBookInConTeXt customization?
by Gour 19 Dec '02

19 Dec '02

Hi! I'm interested how one can customize output when using DocBookInConTeXt module? With XSL DocBook stylesheets, one can pass certain parameters or build his own customization layer on the stylesheets, and thereby customize output. In README file it is stated: "The mapping translates the XML file internally to a context ..", so I'm interested (pls. excuse me if it's a stupid question) is it possible to just convert DocBook input file into ConTeXt format or/and how isone supposed to tailor output according to his/her preferences? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

Bib bug
by Nigel King 18 Dec '02

18 Dec '02

The citations in my latest document show [56] for the number of the reference. This happens to be the number of documents in my bib file. The relevant commands in my various sources are:- \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=/Users/nigelk/Library/texmf/tex/context/Nigel] \setuppublications [alternative=apa] \def\refwithbrackets#1{[#1]\quad} \setuppublications [numbering=yes,% refcommand=num,% numbercommand=\refwithbrackets,% sorttype=cite,% criterium=used,% autohang=yes,% align=right] \setuppublicationlist [after={\blank[medium]},% strut=yes,% offset=0pt] And in the document \cite[abc:01] And \placepublications The bib file is a standard old style bib file generated by bibdesk Is there something that I have done wrong? TIA -- Nigel

Reference + footnote = bug
by Giuseppe Bilotta 17 Dec '02

17 Dec '02

... and a rather odd bug, too! \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext Some text \goto{text with footnote\footnote{here it is} showing the bug}[hook] \page[yes] Some text \reference[hook] referenced from before. \stoptext See how the word "footnote" is superscripted ... it's an odd bug indeed, and it almost seems the footnote can detect the previous word ... -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
