Bibtex: empty reference and reference-title / -data
by Henning Haeske 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, maybe this is a stupid question, but I am "deadlocked" in this case. In the text I always getting an empty reference «()» and the listOfReferences has no title and looks also a little bit discontenting: 3 (2001). Leseverhalten in Deutschland im neuen Jahrtausend: Eine Studie der Stiftung Lesen. Spiegel Verlag und Stiftungs Lesen, Mainz, Hamburg, Deutschland I would like to get following results: A. Quellen Stiftung Lesen (Hrsg.): Leseverhalten in Deutschland im neuen Jahrtausend: Eine Studie der Stiftung Lesen aus: Schriftenreihe «Lesewelten», Band 3, Stiftung Lesen und Spiegel Verlag, Mainz, Hamburg 2001 Here is my tex-file (studie.tex) ------------------------------------------------------------- \mainlanguage[de] \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=studie,bibtex=bibtex8] \setupheadtext[de][pubs=Quellen] text text \cite[stl] text text \placepublications Here is my bbl-file (one book for the begining: but no author - only an editor)(studie.bbl): ------------------------------------------------------------- \setuppublicationlist[ criterium=all, totalnumber=1] \startpublication[ k=stl, y=2001, n=1, s=StL2001, t=book] \lang{de} \title{Leseverhalten in Deutschland im neuen Jahrtausend: Eine Studie der Stiftung Lesen} \series{Schriftenreihe: «Lesewelten»} \volumne{3} \pubyear{2001} \city{Mainz, Hamburg} \country{Deutschland} \edition{1.} \pubname{Spiegel Verlag und Stiftungs Lesen} \stoppublication Both files are in the same directory. When I am running texexec --xtx studie.tex it is showing stuff like this: hapter : 2 Textrepräsentation section : 2.1 Der Text !

Here I am answering with an return I it continues. I am happy for any hint. Thanks, H.

additional footnote (quite late)
by Steffen Wolfrum 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, sometimes – just before the printer heats up his machine – there is something important too add, but yet the footnote-numbering can't be changed anymore (see example below please): \starttext First sentence.\footnote{First footnote} Something added\footnote[-]{In-between footnote}. Second sentence.\footnote{Second footnote} \stoptext Do you know a reliable way to make footnote "In-between footnote" labeled "1a" (in text and page end)? Steffen

hyphenation, paragraphs
by Jörg Hagmann 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi all, I have an appendix consisting of a long list of genetic defects, containing e.g. a number, the name of a disease, and the enzymes concerned. I tried to set that up as paragraphs: \defineparagraphs [mypar][n=3,before={\blank},after={\blank}] \setupparagraphs [mypar][1][width=.1\textwidth] \setupparagraphs [mypar][2][width=.3\textwidth] and \defineparagraphs [Two][n=2,distance=0.5cm] % tolerance= at this point? didn't make a difference \setupparagraphs [Two][1][width=.3\textwidth] % tolerance= at this point? didn't make a difference 2 pages of the outcome are shown on "www.ogbasel.ch/ appendix.pdf" (61KB). Do some words overlap, because ConTeXt doesn't know where to hyphenate funny words? (But Doli-chol, not a common word really, is hyphenated correctly). Or can it be corrected with "tolerance"? (I couldn't). Besides playing with tolerance, I tried: 1. Writing a hyphenation file containing: \hyphenation{Acyl-CoA-De-hy- dro-ge-nase} etc., then: \input FunnyHyphens.tex \starttext \input appendix \stoptext No effect. 2. Writing the unfamiliar words in the appendix with ||, |-|, or |\-| where hyphens might be placed. The latter introduces brakes, but without hyphens. the other two insert hyphens everywhere. It seems that I misunderstood what I dug out of the archives. Could somebody enlighten me? Thanks, Jörg.

How to set page background?
by Zhichu Chen 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi there, I know there is a command \setupbackgrounds[page][background=???], and I can use \defineoverlay[page][\useMPgraphic{page}], then use MetaPost to draw the page background. But I also use something like \setuppapersize[A7][A3] to compose the output, and it seems that the \setupbackgrounds command only affect on A7 sub-paper. I also noticed a command \setuplayout[marking=color]that really acts on the A3 paper rather than the subpaper. So I think there should be such a macro that handles the whole page's background. Can anyone tell me about it? Thanks. -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

TikZ for standalone ConTeXt
by Mojca Miklavec 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hello, Since some people asked about how to "install" TikZ on standalone ConTeXt, here's a zip: http://modules.contextgarden.net/TikZ There is one little problem I experienced while testing though. xkeyval is located under tex/latex/, so it's not found by ConTeXt (at least not with the default settings of standalone). Suggestions? Should xkeyval be moved to /tex/context/xkeyval? Please let me know if you have any problems with it. Mojca (PS: I uploaded the version 1.10. Later on better support for XeTeX was added, perhaps some other issues were solved as well. I will probably try to fetch it from cvs one day, but if anyone needs newer version(s) sooner, let me know.)

gnuplot & ConTeXt
by Mojca Miklavec 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Hello, I've put the gnuplot binary for windows on http://modules.contextgarden.net/gnuplot-win, just in case that anyone is interested (Firefox has problems displaying that page, but I didn't figure out whether the problem lies in the garden, firefox or on my computer). Some functionality and documentation is still missing, but the interface should be stable now. If anyone would like to suggest what the default settings for some options should be, feel free to comment. I'm not sure if the current settings are all sensinble and there might still be time to change some. Gnuplot 4.2 will probably be released very soon. The context terminal might have chances to be included in the "patchset 1", but the developers are reluctant to include it without any feedback from other users. Even a few comments like "it works for me" on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1654807&group_id=2… or on the mailing list would probably help. There are known limitations (like "memory limit exceeded"), unimplemented features, but also bugs. So please report/email any bugs to me as soon as you find them. Mojca
