Hi all, I'm using the bib module. How can I adjust the space between publication items? Is it just an itemization? Thankx, -- Yi

New bibligraphy style
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Hello, I am using the bib module and I want to redefine the display style for the references. I have therefore created a new file "bibl-ris.tex" which I have put in the same folder as bibl-apa.tex and the other existing ones. In my environment file I have \setuppublications[alternative=ris]. Unfortunately, I get the error file bibl-ris not found, unknown style ignored Where should I put my bibl-ris file, or is there something else I need to do before it can find my file? Thanks. Richard

Re: [NTG-context] syntax highlighting problem with vim module
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 19 Nov '08

Hi, I updated context and grepped mtxrun for noquotes and the output is same as yours. I have a query. Line 270 of t-vim says \runvimsyntax{#2} Line275: \input #2-vimsyntax.tmp\relax where #2 is product_name-vimsyntax.tmp. This means that if the product name is xyz then \runvimsyntax{#2} which is basically a run of vim over #2 and it generates the #2-vimsyntax.tmp. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Hi, I am running MarkIV and "luatools t-vim.tex" shows me the path of t-vim.tex. The version does say version=2008.07.15. I tried to execute the same command which t-vim.tex executes for vim but it says that command line is not correct. I switched on the logging and then I read the log and it says tabstop=8 is a new file. I doubt that something may be wrong with the command line for vim. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

What a pity... With MKII and texlive, I could do this: \definebodyfont[15pt,14pt,13pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt] [sc] [bf=cmbcsc10 sa 1, tf=cmcsc10 sa 1] \pdfpkresolution=1200 \starttext \sc Normal and \bf bold Small Caps. \stoptext But there seems to be no possibility to use bitmap fonts in the minimals. Once, I've heard about workarounds, for example getting bold by double printing with some displacement. Would this be possible? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Hi, I am using the following setup to typeset very long codes. The problem is, it can only appear on one page. Can anybody help me to split the resulted codes onto several pages? Thanks. \setuptyping [before={\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth, background=screen, backgroundscreen=.96, style=\tfxx, frame=off]}, after={\stopframedtext}] \starttyping very long codes \stoptyping -- Zhaopeng XING Tinbergen Institute

For long letters, I use a narrower textarea, but I don't think that's what you're asking me. Thanks again. Michael

XeTex & Mara Font
by Bart C. Wise 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

I am currently trying to get the mara font loaded into XeTeX. Here's some information about the font (via fontforge): file: marafont.ttf Fontname: MaraFontNFPlain: Family Name: MaraFontNF Plain: (yes, the colons are in the name) I've tried a couple of ways, using both the fontname and the family name, both with and without the ending semi-colons; however, it fails at compile time. Here's some sample code: \definetypeface[Mara][rm][Xserif][MaraFontNF Plain] \starttext \startfont[Mara] This is a test. \stoptext Here's the relevant output from the log file, which looks very similar to the output of a font that works: ! Font \**\thedefinedfont**:=Mara at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found. <to be read again> \relax \dododefinefont ...ontspec {#2}\rawfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \redodefinefont #1#2#3->\dododefinefont {#1}{#2} \doifsetupselse {#3} {\setup... \dodefinedfont ...ring \thedefinedfont \endcsname \the \everydefinedfont l.7 \startfont[Mara] ? ! Emergency stop. <to be read again> \relax \dododefinefont ...ontspec {#2}\rawfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \redodefinefont #1#2#3->\dododefinefont {#1}{#2} \doifsetupselse {#3} {\setup... \dodefinedfont ...ring \thedefinedfont \endcsname \the \everydefinedfont l.7 \startfont[Mara] End of file on the terminal! How do I get the font loaded? Thanks, Bart
