Dne sreda 30. julija 2008 je Willi Egger napisal(a): > So please let me know whether you are interested in a copy, so that I > can place the copy-shop order and start binding ;-) I'd like one (although, sadly, I won't be able to attend the meeting). Another idea would be to get a few more and give them to (technical) libraries. At least the CTK (Central Technical Library) here in Ljubljana would be interested in it.

by Mehdi Omidali 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi everyone, I want to translate "Context an excursion" to farsi and went to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_on_Excursion,_translations and tried to create an account to be able to access source files. I faced a problem in the "anti automated account creation question" which is something like (23 plus 8) times roman 'C' What must be inserted as the answer to such a problem. I tried everything but no success. Best Wishes.

Overriding a chapter number
by Gerben Wierda 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

When I compile a chapter of a book separately, I want to override the automatic numbering because otherwise every separate pdf will have chapter 1. So I tried: \doifmode{standalone}{\setuphead[chapter][2]} \chapter[h:foo]{Foo} But the chapter still gets number 1 when I compile with texexec --pdf --mode=standalone c_foo.tex what am I doing wrong here? Thanks, G

by Aditya Mahajan 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi, I am using the bib module with ssa style. Quite often while citing articles with long author names, I find author names protruding into the margin. Does bib module not support hyphenating author names, or is something wrong in my setup? Aditya

End notes and compile per chapter question
by Gerben Wierda 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

I have a book project with a structure I copied a few years ago from some instructional page. The product file looks like this: > \startproduct prd_book > \project project_teoada > > \starttext > \start > \startstandardmakeup \ss > \hairline \start > \switchtobodyfont[20pt]\bf > \leftaligned{Test Project Title}% > \stop \hairline \blank[line]\rightaligned{Gerben Wierda}% > \blank[10cm]\start\leftskip=10cm\hairline\stop > \rightaligned{1995--2006}% > \stopstandardmakeup > \stop > > \startfrontmatter > \completecontent > \component c_foo > \stopfrontmatter > \startbodymatter > \component c_bar > \component c_foobar > \stopbodymatter > \startappendices > \component c_endnotes > \stopappendices > > \stoptext > > \stopproduct My book has per page notes as well as more lengthy end notes which end up in a chapter at the end of the book. c_endnotes.tex looks like this: > \startcomponent c_endnotes > \product prd_book > \project project_teoada > > \starttext > \startbuffer [chapter:quote] > ToDo > \stopbuffer > \chapter[h:endnotes]{Notes} > > \placenotes[endnote] > > \stoptext > > \stopcomponent But I would at this stage like to compile the chapters per chapter. This works, but if I compile c_chapter1.tex, I do not get the endnotes of the chapter. How do I go about it that when compiling per chapter, I get the endnotes for that chapter at the end of that file, while when compiling the entire book they go at the end of the book as they should? Thanks, G

Passing unicode characters
by Mehdi Omidali 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi everyone, Is it possible to pass a character to another in MKIV, I mean, like XeTeX in which one can pass one unicode character to another one (this is done in some mapping files with some lines in it of the form U+0030 <> U+06F0 )
