Line Break in URLs
by Helin Gai 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hi all, In the 15th edition Chicago Manual of Style, all URLs are broken before punctuation, e.g., http://www.tug .org I'm wondering how I could achieve this with \useURL. Thanks!

ConTeXt Marcro Quesiton

09 Feb '07

Hi, I wand to write a macro, that handles both [] and {} as optional arguments. For example, I have a command with three optionl arguments [#1][#2]#3 I want \command to give #1=\empty, #2 = \empty, #3 = \empty \command [1] to give #1=1, #2 empty, #3 empty, \command [1] {3} to give #1=1, #2 empty, #3 = 3 \command [1] [2] {3} to give #1=1, #2=2, #3=3 \command {3} to give #1=empty, #2=empty, #3=3. I tried the following macro, it works except for \command[1][2]{3}. \def\finalcommand[#1][#2]#3% {1 :-> (#1), 2 :-> (#2), 3 :-> (#3)} \def\command% {\dodoubleempty\docommand} \def\docommand[#1][#2]% {\dodoublegroupempty{\finalcommand[#1][#2]}} \starttext \command \command [1] \command [1] {3} \command [1] [2] {3} \command {3} \stoptext which gives 1 :-> (), 2 :-> (), 3 :-> () 1 :-> (1), 2 :-> (), 3 :-> () 1 :-> (1), 2 :-> (), 3 :-> (3) 1 :-> (1), 2 :-> (2), 3 :-> () 3 <--------- This does not work 1 :-> (), 2 :-> (), 3 :-> (3) Can someone suggest a better way to do this?

Footnotes lost in Natural Tables
by Steffen Wolfrum 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hi, once again I ran into a dead-end where I never dreamt it could be a problem: using footnotes in tables. For my current project I have to use 16 tables, spread over the whole text (about 400 pages). Some of these tables also need footnotes (sometimes quite large). But they should be numbered and placed within the regular footnotes at the end of the page. Trying the minimal below I saw the table's footnotes got lost: \starttext First paragraph\footnote{One}. \bTABLE \bTR \bTD Cell\footnote{Two} \eTD \bTD Cell\footnote{Three} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE Next paragraph\footnote{Four}. \stoptext As I have to weave 31 footnotes in these 16 tables I hope I don't need to place fake notes by hand, do I?

Why why why? lmodern in Debian is at version 1.00 and Taco (or Hans) told me that the math fonts *are* included (and in fact I see them!) in the 1.00 version, too. > Formats should also be generated automatically, but I experience > similar problems on mac. No. Currently formats are NOT autogenerated in texlive in Debian for conext, because mktexfmt/fmtutil does NOT support engine specific subdirs for formats. This will work again with texlive 2007.
