Publication list ragged right
by Oliver Buerschaper 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi all, is there a way of typesetting the publication list ragged right? Unfortunately the following doesn't work: \startalignment[right] \placepublications \stopalignment With each publication item filling barely more than two lines justification looks rather ugly (and causes a number of overfull boxes) ... Best, Oliver

m-bib question: URL, DOI
by Tobias Burnus 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hello, I have a question regarding URLs and DOIs. I would expect that the attached example file would produce hyperlinks for the DOI and URL, but ConTeXt does not. Using \cite[doi] also produces the wrong output. For doi = 10.1103/PhysRevLett.45.566 I would expect 10.1103/PhysRevLett.45.566 and not: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.45.566 as output. In the reference list, the output is ok, but is no hyperlink. Whether \cite[doi][] should link to the item in the \completepublications list or to the webpage dx.doi.org and whether the link target should depend on \setupcite[interaction=start|stop], is not clear, both options have its merits. In addition, what is the way to insert "#" in URLs? If I don't protect them, I get a TeX error, if I use \# the backslash is printed, too. Tobias

ConTeXt and vim spell check
by Robin Kirkham 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hi, I'm using vim 7.0.17. When I edit a ConTeXt source file, it does the syntax highlighting correctly, but it won't do spelling error highlighting. It works for other filetypes (including LaTeX). Is there something extra needed in .vimrc? I have filetype plugin indent on syntax enable set spell spelllang=en_au Robin

XML in ConTeXt (TeX -> XML)
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

Hi, in the XML manual "example .pdf" the chapter "basic workflows" talks about TeX -> style -> XML : "we simply typeset XML. The typeset document (with lots of angle brackets) is then converted into raw text". That sounds like ... texmfstart texexec --xml --foo.tex ... but this also calls pdfetex and results in a pdf file. So what is actually meant by "we simply typeset XML"? Steffen
