Scite and wrapping
by David Arnold 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi, What tips can folks give me about wrapping in Scite? A. Starting with a blank document. B. Starting with a document that is not wrapped (lots of long lines). In particular, is there a way to wrap a document while still preserving stuff like: \placeformula[-] \startformula \eqalign{ f(x)&=x^2-2x-3\cr f(x)&=(x-3)(x+1)} \stopformula David Arnold College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department Eureka, CA 95501 (707) 476-4222 http://online.redwoods.edu/instruct/darnold/

Paragraph itemization
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

How can one do paragraph itemization in context. I want \startitemize[r][left=(,right=),stopper=] %paragraph option somehow \item The first thing, \item the second thing, and \item finally, the last thing. \stopitemize to come up as (i) The first thing, (ii) the second thing, and (iii) finally, the last thing. Being lazy, I want to ConText to do the numbering for me :-) Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008

BIB Module + Bibtex + Cite + Uppercase and Lowercase
by Miguel Queiros 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hello, I'm using the BIB module, and a Bibtex bib file, and I'm facing the following problem: I need to have the Bibliography generated so that the author name is typeset with uppercase so I'm using something like: @Misc{iosn:free_open_source_education, author = {Tan Wooi \uppercase{Tong}}, title = {{\underbar{Free/Open Source Software Education}}}, [...] } But when using \cite I need the author name to be typeset in lowercase like this: Tong (2004). I tried using \Word{\cite[authoryear][iosn:free_open_source_education]\} but I got an error. Does anyone knows how can I get it right ? Thank you! Miguel Queirós

ConTeXt + FEATPOST
by Renaud AUBIN 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hi all, I'm trying to use FEATPOST with ConTeXt so I have used in my product the following code: \startuseMPgraphic{simplefeatpost} input featpost3Dplus2D; cartaxes(1,1,1); draw tropicalglobe(5,black,1,blue); \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure[here][fig:featpost]{featpost}{\useMPgraphic{simplefeatpost}} but I obtain the following error althought the pdf output is correct... (/usr/local/texlive/2005/texmf-dist/metapost/featpost/featpost3Dplus2D.mp Preloading FeatPost macros, version 0.6.7) >> vacuous ! Improper `addto'. <to be read again> withpen draw->...:also(EXPR0)else:doublepath(EXPR0)withpen .currentpen.fi._op_ <to be read again> ; l.124 draw tropicalglobe(5,black,1,blue); Seems to be a problem between ConTeXt and FEATPOST... In my opinion, it's a problem due to the fact that featpost use the type 'color' for 3D coordinates. I will try to see if I can solve this problem by myself but if you have already encountered it, you know what to do... ;-) Cheers, Renaud
