bib + local & global citations
by Tobias Burnus 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hello, I use bibl-aps which has references of the form "[1]". I want to have a global bib index (\placepublications[criterium=all]), but in two sections I want to have a local bib index (\placepublications[criterium=section]) too. The numbers should not be reseted in between. Currently, I get: \chapter{somewhere} [1]...[45] \chapter \section{local 1} [1]...[30] % <-- should be 46-76 \placepublication[criterium=section] [1]...[76] % <-- should be 46-76 \placepublications[criterium=all] [1]...[76] Any idea how to do this?

missing/misconfigured fonts question
by Jeremy Johnson 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

After installing ConTeXt on Gentoo linux, I've begun trying to learn ConTeXt. However, when I try to use fonts such as 12 pt times: \setupbodyfont[pos,12pt] I get the following warnings: Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/origina l-ams-base.map): invalid entry for `lcirclew10': font file missing }{/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/original-ams-euler.map} {/usr /local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/original-public-lm.map Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/origina l-public-lm.map): invalid entry for `cmbsy6': font file missing Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/origina l-public-lm.map): invalid entry for `cmbsy8': font file missing Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/origina l-public-lm.map): invalid entry for `cmbsy9': font file missing Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/origina l-public-lm.map): invalid entry for `cmex7': font file missing Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/origina l-public-lm.map): invalid entry for `cmex8': font file missing Any ideas on what's wrong with my font setup in ConTeXt? I unzipped the cont-tmf.pdf and cont-fnt.zip to /usr/local/share/texmf/ and followed the instructions. -- Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) Public Key: http://www.acjlaw.net:8080/gpgkeys/acjlaw_publickey.asc GPG Key Fingerprint: A06F 40ED 6F0E 6392 5CA3 7103 B3B7 6FD0 5B75 0588

Keeping it single valued
by David Arnold 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

All, This example from the Metapost manual is beyond my expertise. The second figure is sweet, just what I would want. Can anyone wax philosophic for a bit and explain why the y-scaling keeps the second function single valued? starttext \startbuffer[figure] numeric scf, t[]; 3.2scf=2.4in; path fun; fun:=(0,-1)..(1,.5){right}..(1.9,.2){right}..{curl .1}(3.2,2); fun:=fun scaled scf; draw fun; \stopbuffer \placefigure [][fig:one] {Caption.} {\processMPbuffer[figure]} \startbuffer[figure] numeric scf, yscl, t[]; 3.2scf=2.4in; path fun; yscl=.1; %keep the function single valued fun:=(0,-1yscl)..(1,.5yscl){right}..(1.9,.2yscl){right}..{curl .1} (3.2,2yscl); fun:=fun yscaled (1/yscl); fun:=fun scaled scf; draw fun; \stopbuffer \placefigure [][fig:one] {Caption.} {\processMPbuffer[figure]} \stoptext

Prescript in ConTeXt
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hi Hans and Taco, I want a command for writing prescript, something that works like ${}^1 f_t$ but with correct spacing. As far as I know, such a command does not exist in ConTeXt. A bit of a search shows that the "best" definition in LaTeX is by Michael J. Downes http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/msg/49206d0dffe71236?dmode=sou… This is very similar to \lohi[left] but defined for math mode and takes care of math spacing. \DeclareRobustCommand{\prescript}[3]{% \@mathmeasure\z@\scriptstyle{#1}% put the sup in box 0 \@mathmeasure\tw@\scriptstyle{#2}% put the sub in box 2 \ifdim\wd\tw@>\wd\z@ \setbox\z@\hbox to\wd\tw@{\hfil\unhbox\z@}% \else \setbox\tw@\hbox to\wd\z@{\hfil\unhbox\tw@}% \fi % Do not let a preceding mathord symbol approach without any % intervening space. \mathop{}% % Use \mathopen to suppress space between the prescripts and the % base object even when the latter is not of type ord. \mathopen{\vphantom{#3}}^{\box\z@}_{\box\tw@}% #3% } To port it to ConTeXt, I need something equivalent to \@mathmeasure, which is defined in amsmath. % \begin{macro}{\@mathmeasure} % The function |\@mathmeasure| takes three arguments; the third arg % is typeset as a math formula in an hbox, using arg |#2| as the % mathstyle, and the result is left in the box named by the first % arg. It is assumed that we are already in math mode, so we can turn % off |\everymath| (in particular, |\check@mathfonts|). % \begin{macrocode} \def\@mathmeasure#1#2#3{\setbox#1\hbox{\frozen@everymath\@emptytoks \m@th$#2#3$}} What is the correct way to define mathmeasure in ConTeXt? I do not completely understand how math tokens are handled. Thanks, Aditya

Side caption in floats
by Tobias Burnus 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hello, I want to a normal caption next to a float: ########## ########## ########## Fig. 1: Some object desc. ########## in this caption. where the text should be bottom aligned unless the text is much longer: ########## Fig. 2: Some textual ########## description to a rather small figure. Using \startfiguretext[], I get something similar, but without "Fig 1". And \placefigure[....] does not seem to offer this option either. Tobias

llap, rlap, clap equivalent for math
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Inspired by Alexander Perlis' macros in http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb22-4/tb72perlS.pdf can we have the math equivalent of llap etc. in ConTeXt. Ideally, \llap etc. should be modified so that they work in math mode also (just like \smash and \phantom). If not, we can have the following simple definitions: \def\mathclap{\mathpalette\domathclap} \def\domathclap#1#2{\clap{$\m@th#1#2$}} \def\mathllap{\mathpalette\domathllap} \def\domathllap#1#2{\llap{$\m@th#1#2$}} \def\mathrlap{\mathpalette\domathrlap} \def\domathrlap#1#2{\rlap{$\m@th#1#2$}} Usage: \startformula A = \sum_{\mathclap{1 \le i \le N}} a_i \stopformula Aditya

Hi Hans and ConTeXters, please can you add two Named AcrobatReader functions ShowThumbs ShowBookmarks useful especially in Presentation (full screen) mode due to missing key shortcuts in last Reader versions. Usage: \goto{thumbs}[ShowThumbs] and \goto{bookmarks}[ShowBookmarks]. Please, can someone add dutch, german, italian, romanian, and french translations?

A ConTeXt style for emacs-muse
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hi all, If some of you know and like Emacs-Muse (http://www.mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html) you might be interested to try the style I wrote to produce context documents within Muse; you will find it at: http://jm.bornier.free.fr/muse.html I have tested this file and it seems to work in most situations, but it is a first version and necessarily imperfect; feel free to report on errors. cheers, -- Jean
