\setuptolerance
by Richard Gabriel 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hello all, could somebody explain me the usage of the \setuptolerance command and its particular parameters? I've found several forms of this command, but no explanation of them at all... The main ConTeXt manual (cont-eni.pdf, pages 87-88) only mentions that it is used [horizontal,verystrict] and [vertical,strict] by default... Should I issue two \setuptolerance commands to setup up horizontal and vertical tolerance? On contextgarden.net I've found one example using the following form: \setuptolerance [{horizontal, verytolerant},{vertical, verystrict}] ...tried this, but it produces "Overfull \hbox" at almost every third line... :-( Currently I use the setup: \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] which gives quite good results, but I don't know what it exactly does (I googled it somewhere)... Thanks for help. Richard

Dr. Schmidt, I hope you don't mind that I'm forwarding your email to the ConTeXt discussion/help list.

Wrapping \type{}
by Nikolai Weibull 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

In my BNF module I use " as an active character that begins and ends terminals in the grammar: <regex>: <branch> ; <branch>, "\|", <regex>. Now, the above doesn't quite work as written, as \ is still active (and so is, in fact | as we're really inside a \starttabulate. What I would like for the "" pair to do is work as a wrapper for \type{}, so that everything in-between is passed on to \type{}. Is there a way of getting them to do that? This is my current definition: \gdef"% {\ifBNFoutsidestring% \global\BNFoutsidestringfalse% \begingroup% \BNFunsetcatcodes% \catcode`\"\@@active% \@@bnfterminalstart% \else% \@@bnfterminalstop% \endgroup% \global\BNFoutsidestringtrue% \fi} I figured something like \long\gdef"#1"% {\type{#1}} might work, but it didn't. It chokes on "." where . is also an activated character for terminating a production in the grammar. Any suggestions on how to go about this? I mean, the obvious solution is simply to write <regex>: <branch> ; <branch>, "\type{\|}", <regex>. instead, but I would like to keep the input as clean as possible. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

m-bib, \cite and no year?
by Christopher Creutzig 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Salve Taco, I'm using m-bib, with \setupbibtex[database=literatur,sort=author] \setuppublications[sort=bbl,refcommand=authoryear,numbering=yes] This leads to three problems: First, I do have entries such as @Misc{Wikipedia, key = {Wikipedia}, title = {Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia}, howpublished = {\gotoURL{http://wikipedia.com}} } with no year entry, and this comes out as "Wikipedia ()". I think the parens should only be used if the year is nonempty. Second, I getempty entries in my list of references, which do get a number. Also, the first 20 numbers are printed in red, while the subsequent entries are in black. I know this is a vague description, I haven't been able to analyze it in more detail yet. Just wanted to let you know. Third, I have entries in my bibliography where the authors are listed with their family names only. This causes spurious commas in the list of references. I'll probably add initials and/or chrisitan names where I know them, but I think m-bib should support these entries. @inproceedings{corless97sequence, author = "Corless and Jeffrey and Knuth", title = {{A Sequence of Series for the Lambert {W} Function}}, booktitle = "{ISSAC}: Proceedings of the {ACM} {SIGSAM} International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (formerly {SYMSAM}, {SYMSAC}, {EUROSAM}, {EUROCAL}) (also sometimes in cooperation with the Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation Groupe in Europe ({SAME}))", year = "1997", url = "citeseer.ist.psu.edu/corless97sequence.html" } As an aside: Does m-bib provide a way of including page numbers etc. in the citation? (For authoryear style, this would be overkill, but for other styles, I think "[233, p. 40]" to be pretty readable and helpful.) regards and keep up the good work, Christopher

XeTeX currently doesn't accept or ignore the -translate-file option that Hans has chosen as a default for normal ConTeXt operation. I haven't figured out how to run different "profiles" or configurations within my current installation, so I just edited the following line in /usr/local/ teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/config/texexec.ini [1] from: for tetex set TeXPassString to -progname=context --default-translate- file=cp8bit ...to... for tetex set TeXPassString to -progname=context ... I think that should be enough to set you on your way. I run ConTeXt with both pdfetex and XeTeX under this configuration, and it seems to work well enough (except for a minor warning). I'll add this advice to the wiki, but Hans, Gerben, can you offer advice on how to handle this configuration conflict longer term... we want ConTeXt to work well out of the box, *and* to make it easy for mac users. Yes, JK needs to update XeTeX to handle the -default-translate option better, but there are other reasons for changing texexec.ini as well... [1] or wherever your texexec is getting its configuration from. Look at the output of `texexec --verbose` for a line like: reading : /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/config/texexec.ini -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
