Setting up a sombined list ...
by Willi Egger 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Hi, I am trying to setup a special TOC which should show the version instead of a pagenumber. My approach was to setup newheads with \definehead[][] and defining a new combined list. The struggle is that I can't manage to get the list entries numbered and the lower level listentries are not indented as intended. Could some one give me a clue where I am missing the proper options. Please try the attached minimal file. Tanks and kind regards Willi %test \def\Version{20-01-2005} \definehead[Mypart][part] \setuphead[Mypart][number=yes,placehead=no] \definehead[Mychapter][chapter] \definehead[Mysection][section] \definecombinedlist[Mycontent][Mypart,Mychapter,Mysection] \setuplist[Mycontent] [level=Mypart,pagenumber=no] \setuplist[Mycontent] [level=Mychapter,distance=4em] \setuplist[Mychapter][pagenumber=no] \setuplist[Mysection][pagenumber=no] \starttext \completeMycontent[criterium=all] \expanded{\writetolist[Mypart]{Test Part 1}{}} \dorecurse{3}{% \chapter[Ch-Test]{Test} \expanded{\writetolist[Mychapter]{Test \recurselevel}{\hfill Version:~ \Version}} \input ward } \section{Problems seen:} \startitemize[2,packed] \item With the configuration above, the Mypart has still a pagenumber in the TOC. \item In the \type{\completeMycontent} the chapters are not indented. \item I would expect that the TOC entries would be numbered. \stopitemize \stoptext

Duplex question ...
by Stefano 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

All, I used the example shown in section 3.5 of the ConTeXt manual to enable duplex printing. I would like to shift the page as demonstrated in the first right/left pages in Figure 3.9. The following, however, does not work, as the right and left pages both remain in the top left corner. I'm using the MiKTeX distribution and WinEdt (TeXExec 5.2.3). Any info is appreciated ... Stefano \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuplayout[location=duplex] \showframe \starttext Page 1 \page Page 2 \page Page 3 \page \stoptext

The number of ligatures is limited, however. Arabtex in fact has more than strictly necessary. However, I never got omega running, in spite of my attempts. By the way, be aware that Hebrew may not have ligatures, but it does have some characters whose shape changes when they appear at the word ending, so, e.g., -n is not the same character code as n- or -n-. You should also take in account that people will want to use dotted consonants, i.e. the dots that distinguish b from v, and s from sh, etc. Robert

Using LateX packages
by Holger Peters 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hi, I want to use a LaTeX Package (clrscode), or at least I want to port it to Context. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/clrscode/ Is there some way to use LaTex Packages (I guess not). Is there documentation about writing ConTeXt modules? (I didn't find any). -- Holger

bib module problem
by David Munger 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

The bib module won't complete the publications list when there is more than one cite command. Try the following: ------------------------------------------------ \usemodule[bib] \startpublication[k=biskamp2003,t=inbook, a={Biskamp},y=2003,n=1,s=Bis03] \author[]{Dieter}[D.]{}{Biskamp} \pubyear{2003} \title{Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence} \pubname{Cambridge University Press} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=sneyd1994,t=article, a={Sneyd and Wang},y=1994,n=2,s=SW94] \artauthor[]{A.~D.}[A.~D.]{}{Sneyd} \artauthor[]{A.}[A.]{}{Wang} \pubyear{1994} \arttitle{Interfacial instability due to {MHD} mode coupling in aluminium reduction cells} \journal{J. Fluid Mech.} \volume{263} \pages{343-359} \stoppublication \starttext See \cite[authoryear][biskamp2003] and \cite[authoryear][sneyd1994]. \placepublications \stoptext ------------------------------------------------ You'll get no publication list. Then comment out either of the \cite commands and you'll get the single-publication list. Thanks for any help. Regards, David

cz support
by Vit Zyka 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hallo Hans and other ConTeXters, I have started to collect and clean up Czech ConTeXt localization. And I have discovered that Tomas Hudec includeded Czech (non-trivial) sorting rules into texutils.pl (calling czsort.pl from Jan Pazdziora). Unfortunately it was not incorporated into official ConTeXt disribution. Hans, what is your prefereble solution in case of local sorting rules? I know, there is \definesortkey, but this mechanism is insufficient for Czech. I think that calling external Perl sorting routine is a suitable solution. If so, it can be incorporated into current version? Files are attached. Thanks Vit Zyka

finishing a module
by Thomas A.Schmitz 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

I spent some (too much) time today improving my Greek module. For the time being, two questions remain; I'm confident that they're not too difficult for the experts; any help would be appreciated. I've succesfully defined my fonts and scale like so: \def\setupgreek#1[#2]{% \getparameters[GG][Scale=,Font=,#2] \edef\MyScale{\GGScale}% \processaction[\GGFont] [ SomeFont1=>\def\MyFont{somefont }, SomeFont2=>\def\MyFont{someotherfont }]% } \protect (The space after "somefont" looks ugly, but I haven't figured out how to get rid of it; TeX will always complain if I delete it.) 1. After this definition, this will work: \definebodyfont[4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.5pt,11pt,12pt,14pt,14.4p t,16pt,18pt,20pt,22pt][rm][Gf=\MyFont sa \MyScale] This, however, will not work: \definefont[Gf][\MyFont sa \MyScale] and I don't see why. Can anybody explain? I see that the \definefont... takes care of the annoying problem with font sizes, so I would prefer that way. 2. In my module, I define some special symbols: \define\koppa{\getglyph{\MyFont}{\char37}} Is there a way to give the same scaling factor here as in the definition of \Gf? I tried \define\koppa{\getglyph{\MyFont scaled XXXX}{\char37}} as a first attempt which kind of works but gives me the letters "at" in the pdf in front of the symbol. Best Thomas

Hi, Just updated my FC3 box to teTeX-2.99.10 (ConTeXt 2005.01.13).
