Let's ignore it. The first problem, with the two periods after a book title, has been with me since at least last year. I can reproduce it with the following: [A] ConTeXt version. ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.05 18:47 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.6 int: english/english This is based TeXLive 2007, originally installed with the MacTeX installer and updated with cont-tmf,zip from pragma and the ppc- darwin binaries from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/osx-ppc/ texmf-osx-ppc/bin/. My understanding of TeX installations is not sophisticated. Perhaps I goofed. But everything seems to work. [B] File \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[alternative=apa,refcommand=authoryear] \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={Kav86},totalnumber=1] \startpublication[k=Kavka:1986qe,t=book, a={{Kavka}},y=1986, n=2,s=Kav86] \author[]{Gregory}[G.]{}{Kavka} \pubyear{1986} \title{Hobbesian Moral and Political Theory} \city{Princeton} \pubname{Princeton University Press} \stoppublication \starttext Here is a reference to the Kavka book: \cite[Kavka:1986qe] \placepublications \stoptext The output I get is: Here is a reference to the Kavka book: Kavka (1986) Kavka, G.

Hi, What is wrong with my attempt to create a bibliography and a reference to it? All I get is a (Xxxxx,0000) where I use \cite, and no list of references at \placepublications. %------------------------- \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[pt] \usemodule[bib] \setuppublicationlist[] \startpublication[t=manual, a=Fung, y=1993, n=1] \author{}[Y.C.]{}{Fung} \title{Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues} \stoppublication \starttext According to \cite[1]. \placepublications \stoptext %------------------------- Thanks, Maurício

Two bibliography problems
by Michael Green 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

This sort of bibliography entry gives me two kinds of trouble. @book{ODonovan:1999uv, Address = {Grand Rapids, Michigan}, Author = {O'Donovan, Joan Lockwood and O'Donovan, Oliver}, Publisher = {William B. Eerdmans}, Title = {From Irenaeus to Grotius: a sourcebook in Christian political thought, 100-1625}, Year = {1999}} (1) I get two periods after a book title when using \setuppublications [alternative=apa]. For this particular entry, here is what I get. O'Donovan, J. L. and O'Donovan, O. (1999). From Irenaeus to Grotius: a sourcebook in Christian political thought, 100-1625.. Grand Rapids, Michigan: William B. Eerdmans. This happens with all books. On looking at the source, I'm afraid I can't track down where it's coming from or how to fix it. (2) Is it possible to use smart quotes in citations? For instance, for this book, authored by O'Donovan, I can enter the appropriately curly character between O and D in my bibtex file. But it comes out straight in the final document. Thanks! Michael

Hello again I wish to use the structure of block to hide somme of them. Unfortunately reseting them doesn't seem to work. Here is a minimal example : ****************************************************** \starttext \defineenumeration[exercice][location=inleft] \defineblock[titre,question,reponse] \hideblocks[,reponse] \begintitre \exercice {\bf Facile} \endtitre% % \beginquestion $\displaystyle \sin\left(\pi \over 6\right)$ \endquestion \beginreponse $1 \over 2$ \endreponse {\bf Réponses} \reset[exercice] \useblocks[titre,reponse] \stoptext ****************************************************** I get an error with ****************************************************** !

\word of synonyms
by Matthias Wächter 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Hi list! What am I doing wrong? \Word, \Words and \WORDS cannot be applied to synonyms, they are displayed unmodified which is a pity as these words should be capitalized at the beginning of a sentence. Is there a solution? \starttext \definesynonyms[term][terms] \setupsynonyms[term][headstyle=bold,width=4cm,criterium=all] \term[FTce]{fault tolerance}{The ability of a system to mitigate a fault avoiding desastrous behavior} \placelistofterms Original: \FTce\ First letter: \Word{\FTce} All first letters: \Words{\FTce} All letters: \WORDS{\FTce} First letter: \Word{fault tolerance} All first letters: \Words{fault tolerance} All letters: \WORDS{fault tolerance} \stoptext Thanks, - Matthias
