bibtexing problems
by Wolfgang Zillig 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hallo, I've started to add bibliography to my documents. Now I have some questions: 1. How can I handle multilanguage bibtex files (entries in German and English)? I'm writing english texts but I need to cite german documents and in all german references all capital letters are trasfered to small ones. 2. How to encode glyphs/german umlaute (öäüß) in the bibtex file? It seems that I can not use utf for that. 3. I have in the bibtex field: "comment = {genauere Analyse des Papers nötig!}," some comments. They are added at the end the individual reference. Is there a possibility to suppress this field? 4. is there a way of citing by bibtex key? (to get (Hameury2005) for the entry @ARTICLE{Hameury2005,...)). I think that is nice to have during writing the document and only to change this in the final version. Many thanks Wolfgang

Context 2005.11.24 Released
by Taco Hoekwater 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip The current release has version 2005.11.30. As usual, there is a page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.30 New features since 2005.11.24: * A support module for loading DraTex * Itemgroups now accept a command parameter. This allows \item c.s. to work on bits of the following paragraph, like so: \def\MyItemCommand#1{{\bf#1}\quad} \setupitemgroup[itemize][command=\MyItemCommand] \startitemize \item {test} is this okay? \item {test} is this okay? \item {test} is this okay? \stopitemize * Extension for the use of marks in column sets using a new, three-argument, call to \getmarking : \getmarking[subsection][first][1] % column 1 \getmarking[subsection][first][3] % column 3 * A set of font synonyms to enable easy ligature prevention (esp. useful in XML) \usetypescript[serif][handling][noligs] \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif] [latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif] [latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[mine,10pt] \starttext asjemenou-het--lijkt---te----werken \stoptext * \setupinterlinespace[auto] makes interline (double) spacing work even across bodyfont switches * new system modes for the current language: {\language[nl] \startmode[*en] english \stopmode \startmode[*nl] dutch \stopmode \language[en] \startmode[*en] english \stopmode \startmode[*nl] dutch \stopmode} Bug fixes: * ConTeXt now allows more MP specials, on user request (through \manyMPspecials). This is sometimes needed when MetaPost is called in-between runs instead of using the shell_escape mechanisms * use TEXMFTE and TEXMFGW in type-tmf.dat. This allows texfont to function correctly under gwtex. * Use the new map file names for the font families/typescripts antt, iwona, and kurier. * Footnote markers no longer appear in headings Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

enco-pfr.tex - support for Adobe Acrobat
by Richard Gabriel 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hello Hans, Taco and others! I would like to know how the "enco-pfr.tex" module works and how to properly use it. Besides of other languages, I also typeset documents in Czech. The search doesn't work (in recent Acrobat 7.0.5) for particular Czech letters (e.g. č,ž etc.). If I try to search for a simple letter (e.g. "č") it stops on every word containing "č", but also "c". If I try to search for a whole word (e.g. "počítač"), nothing is found. :-) I've followed the instructions posted on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Encodings_and_Regimes and in the mailing list thread linked from that page. So I tried: \input enco-pfr \useencoding[pfr] \startencoding [ec] \usepdffontresource ec \stopencoding \setupbodyfont[lbr]% I have typescripts for Lucida Bright fonts, the Czech is typeset OK \starttext A testing Czech sentence follows: Příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy. \stoptext Later I've found out that: - \input enco-pfr is already done in context.tex - \startencoding [ec] \usepdffontresource ec \stopencoding is already done at the bottom of enco-pfr.tex - so it seems that the only command I should issue is: \useencoding[pfr] BTW, in the Czech format (cont-cz.tex), I have defined: \setupencoding[default=ec] Doesn't it collide with the \useencoding[pfr] command later in the document? ANY GUESS? Note: The ligatures work OK even if I don't use the \useencoding[pfr] command at all. Thanks to all, Richard

items question
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi, I'm working on the responses to the mini survey, and quite ofthen there is an itemization with a title of sorts. It makes sense to give such structures a bit different layout from a normal itemization. My question: does anyone know of an easy way to do this: bla di bla di do re mi As you can see: 1. this is a gnat 2. that is a gnu instead of this: bla di bla di do re mi As you can see: 1. this is a gnat 2. that is a gnu ? TIA, Taco

fonts / lucida
by Hans Hagen 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi, I uploaded a new cont-fnt.zip file. This ons has lucida metrics (ec and texnansi). If I did things right, one only needs to copy the lucida pfb files to the .../fonts/type1/bh/lucida path. Hans

IPA/TIPA support in Context?
by Jason Knight 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

What support is there for IPA/TIPA in Context at this point? I've had a look through the mailing list archive and the last comment I saw about it was from the first half of 2004. Has anyone done more hacking on this? Jason -- Jason Knight Systems-Analyst-at-large "They fix 'em, I break 'em. Thus, analysis."

bimath vs bfmath
by Hans van der Meer 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Why does $\bfmath a \rightarrow b$ % b-f-math behaves different from $\bimath a \rightarrow b$ % b-i-math In the first I get a bold arrow, not in the second one. In bfmath the symbol font switches to bold, but in bimath it does not. The variables do change correctly to bolditalic in both cases.. Is the symbolfont in the mathfamilies not switched in \bimath? For the font (Lucida) I have normal and bold symbol definitions installed: sy=MathSymbol mo 1, \definefontsynonym [MathSymbol] [LucidaNewMath-Symbol] sybf=MathSymbolBold mo 1, \definefontsynonym [MathSymbolBold] [LucidaNewMath-Symbol-Demi] I did set \setupformulas[method=bold] in the preamble and verified that \boldfacemathmethod has the value 1. Inspection of font-bfm.tex did not give me the solution. I must confess being lost here. As an aside another observation with bold math. After: \setupformulas[method=bold] \startformula[method=bold]\bfm .... the call to \bfm makes \quad's in the math disappear (using lucidabright font setup) And in the default font (no fontsetting) \bfm even gives an error ! \textfont 7 is undefined (character !). \stopdisplaymath ->\stopinnermath $$ \ifgridsnapping \egroup \afterdisplayspa... yours sincerely, dr.

texteuro
by Hans van der Meer 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I clearly have some misunderstanding about the typesetting of the euro sign. In an attempt to implement the MathTimes font and expert fontset, I came across a problem with typesetting the euro. I could not redefine the \texteuro. In \showcharacters it stays empty. Doing \definecharacter texteuro to_some_value in a typescript does not work (giving: Runaway argument?) The euro does appear when I define it explicitely (as coming from the marvosym font): \def\euro{\symbol[europe][EUR]} But then \texteuro is still unaffected and therefore doing "\enableregime[mac] € (euro)" does not work. Any pointer how to solve this? yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer
