several details (maybe bugs)
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

While typesetting some proceedings, I stumpled upon the following issues: (1) \setupheads seems to do nothing - I must set every option for every head separately. AFAIR this is broken "forever", at least it was the same in 2000. (2) \setuphead[chapter][header=none] should switch off the header only on that page where the chapter starts, shouldn't it? (It disables headers completely.) Or how else would I achieve that? (3) \startitemize[n] Numbered itemizations suddenly(?) start with 0 - as this may be suitable for programmers, but it's, ehm, a bit unusual in every other context. Hm, it works in the garden. (4) Is it possible to include footnotes in tables in the normal footnote numbering and placement? (At the moment I use localfootnotes to enable footnotes in tables at all, but that's unsatisfying.) (5) Is it possible to disable hyphenation in titles? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

scite properties enable utf8 and customizing
by Jan-Erik Hägglöf 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI! I am trying to make Scite work in a context way by copying context.properties and friends, and it does work . The problem seems to be that make scite automatic be in utf8 mode. I have copying following parameters in the file .SciTEUser.properies by inserting following: LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 output.code.page=65001 but it seems not working when the program is restarted. All adjustments seems to be "forgotten" every time I restart. Thanks in advance!

References with or without interaction
by Morgan Brassel 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hi everyone, I noticed what seems to be a lack of coherence when typesetting references with interaction enabled. Look at the example below: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext See \in{figure}[fig:a]. {\it See \in{figure}[fig:a].} \placefigure [][fig:a] {A caption.} {HELLO} \stoptext When interaction is enabled, the two references are typeset bold and upshape. When it's not, the first one is upshape, the other is italic. This can lead to overfull hbox when turning on interaction, and this is quite unintuitive. Is there a reason why it is so in ConTeXt? Best regards, Morgan

First document — problems with bib module and layout
by Matija Šuklje 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hullo, I'm just making my first real document in ConTeXt and although I'm thinking more and more how this was a great idea. I also decided to simultaneously write an external document/module containing all definitions to fit the But as a newbie, of course, I stumbled upon some beginner's problems: 1. Chapter heading is not like I would expect — I would like to have the line above the chapter as long as the one below it 2. The empty page at the end of the document annoys me and doesn't want to go away. 3. The citations won't show any content, neither does the list of publications — I'm clearly doing something very wrong here. What I want is numbered citation with short references at the bottom and full references in the list of publications in the appendices. 4. If I want to include 'pf_ul.tex' and 'moja_bibliografija.bbl' into my user's local modules in Linux, where should I place the link to them? It's a bit annoying to have to place links to them in each directory where I make a new new file that uses them. And clearly, there will be many yet to come! If anything I just wrote doesn't make much sense, I excuse myself ...I'm tired, tried to learn and hack together this definitions the whole day today and didn't sleep much yesterday either.

mpost update in minimal windows
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hallo, I tried to update my metapost executable in the Windows ConTeXt minimal. In the bin dir I found both mpost.exe (Version 1.000-rc1) and a mpost.dll In the archive 'metapost-1.002-windows.zip' there is mpost.exe (Version 1.002 (Web2C 7.5.5)) and no dll So I downloaded 'mplib-alpha-0.20-win32.zip' but there is an other exe newpost.exe (Version 1.002 (Cweb version 0.20)) and no dll So I wonder where I can find the matching dll and which exe above is the right one. There is an other strange thing: In the aktuell 'cont-win.zip' is a 'texmfstart.exe' dated 2007-08-07 with about 700 KB. But the 'texmfstart.exe' in my bin dir, which is installed 7 or 8 months ago ist dated 2007-08-08 and much bigger (~900KB). The next thing I wanted to do ist to update LuaTeX. Ohjeohje?!

I'm trying to typeset English and German texts in two columns. With the following example every bilingual section goes on a new page. How can I avoid that?
