Regression Test project started
by Taco Hoekwater 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Hello everybody, I am pleased to let you know that a regression test project for ConTeXt has started. The pages of the project are here: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contexttest/ and the goal is to create a repository of small, easily verifiable test files to test new ConTeXt releases against. The project is of course looking for help from the community. You do not have to have a deep understanding of ConTeXt to be able to help! you only have to know how to write an input file that tests a small part of ConTeXt (say \startitemize options), nothing complicated. We will put all those files in the version control system, and eventuall create an automated system to compile the whole batch overnight after each new beta release. If you want to join in, please register yourself as a user on the above site and let me know so I can add you to the project and its mailing list. Cheers, taco

\page inside a block
by frantisek holop 30 Mar '06

hi there, the following is a minimal example of the layout i am working on. -----------------------%<------------------------- % output=pdftex \enableregime[latin2] \setuppapersize [A5][A5] \defineparagraphs [poem][n=2] \setupparagraphs [poem][1][width=.35\textwidth] \setupparagraphs [poem][2][rule=on] \starttext \startpoem \section{poem} \poem\startlines line 1 line 2 \page line 3 line 4 \stoplines\stoppoem \stoptext -----------------------%<------------------------- when the poem gets long, i need to start a new page obviously. but page is not working. what am i missing here? also, using \page is one thing, good for me, so i could tell, flush the page right here, but i thought i'll get an automatic pagebreak when the text gets to the bottom.... sorry if this is a very silly question, just getting my feet wet with context.... thanks -f -- bungee diving - living it up when you're going down!

bib module/XML
by Johannes Graumann 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hello, I have a couple of questions concerning the bib module, which I'm using in conjunction with XML document code. In my header I say: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={../Bibliography/bibliography.bib}] 1) \completepublications problem in the xml I say: <cite id="storz:02" key="authoryears"/> and use \defineXMLargument [cite] {\cite[\XMLpar{cite}{key}{}][\XMLpar{cite}{id}{}]} in my mappings. This works ok, however, I also have the following definition included: \defineXMLenvironment [chapter] { \defineXMLargument [title] {\chapter} \defineXMLprocess [content] {} } {\section{References}\placepublications} so that a xml chapter definiton like this: <chapter> <title> Example </title> <content> <cite id="bibtexkey1" key="authoryears"/> <cite id="bibtexkey2" key="authoryears"/> </content> </chapter> will be read out properly and I get a chapter specific publication list at the end of each chapter. This does not work. I will get a Reference List, but it contains the second entry twice and its second copy is indented in relation to the first ... Any Idea on how to remedy this? 2) I'm a biologist and author/year citation is usus where I work. The options 'authoryear' ('Hoekwater (2006)') and 'authoryears' ('(Hoekwater, 2006)') are great, but I would also want to have the option to prepend the latter with something like 'e.g.' ('(see e.g. Hoekwater, 2006)'). I understand this is possible to the right of the actual citation with 'extras', but how difficult would it be to do that on the left? Thanks for any help, Joh

hi there, what is the rationale behind the "Creator" pdf field context sets? for radnoti.tex i get: Creator: ConTeXt/user/radnoti.tex -f -- you can never get rid of a bad temper by losing it.

descriptions
by Jeffrey Drake 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

On page 180 of the manual, ConTeXt lists many kinds of descriptions. Like one that indents the body of the definition. It is extremely frustrating to me that it doesn't say how to do it and I can't figure it out. Any ideas? - Jeffrey

Substack in Context
by Aditya Mahajan 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hi, What is the context equivalent of latex's substack? How do I type the following $$ \sum_{\substack i \in P \\ j \in Q} a_{ij} $$ I search on source browser shows that this command was defined in newmat but pruned out. Is there a replacement for it? Is it safe to simply copy the definitions from m-newmat.tex and use them in my project? Thanks Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008
