math font size in captions (and other places)
by Mikael Persson 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Dear all, I want small caption texts in a document. However, neither of the following two alternatives work: %%%%% %\setupcaptions[style=small] \setupcaptions[style=\tfx] \starttext \placefigure[here][none]{Some math $x=y$}{Dummy figure} \stoptext %%%%% In both cases the text is small, but math font is not changed. I can solve this by doing a \switchtobodyfont in the caption, but I'd like to do it only once and for all. I guess I have the same problem in all environments where there is a style= parameter. (For now, I also would like to set it in \setupmarginblocks. I've tested this both on mkii and mkiv and with updated (minimal) ConTeXt. Best regards, Mikael Persson PS Any progress in getting the fourier (utopia+fourier) fonts to work in the new minimals? I miss that combination of fonts. I did not get the reason of why it is not included anymore.

Then there are a lot of wiki-pages wrong. Who is allowed to correct this? Wolfgang

Bibliography: comments not ignored any more
by Mojca Miklavec 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hello (Taco), I have no idea when this turned into a problem (the files that I'm recycling are 2 years old, so it must have worked at that time), but percentage sign seems to have lost its original meaning inside publication: \usemodule [bib] \startpublication[k=mybook,t=book,a=Last Name] \author{First Name}[F.~N.]{}{Last Name} \title{Title} % \pubyear{2007} % This should have been a comment \stoppublication \starttext \nocite[mybook] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext I have put comments out of the definitions now, so it's not critical for me, but it might cause problems to others as well.

Re: [NTG-context] who eats my spaces (was: chapter setup / table of contents)
by Henning Hraban Ramm 25 Sep '08

Coming back to my old thread. Here's my latest chapter setup: --- >8 --- \unprotect \resetvalue{\??sw\v!chapter} \startsetups chapter:list \def\\{{\ \nomarking{\nolist\crlf}}} \doiftextelse{\sectionworldparameter\c!author} {\expanded{\writetolist[\v!chapter] {\sectionworldparameter\c!author:\space \sectionworldparameter\c!text}{}}} {\expanded{\writetolist[\v!chapter] {\sectionworldparameter\c!text}{}}} \def\ChapterAuthor{% \doiftextelse% {\sectionworldparameter\c!author}% {\rm\tf\sectionworldparameter\c!author\crlf\vskip0.2em} {}% } \def\ChapterTitle{{\ss\bfb\sectionworldparameter\c!text}} \def\ChapterSubTitle{% \doiftextelse% {\sectionworldparameter\c!subtitle}% {\crlf\vskip0.3em\ss\bf\sectionworldparameter\c!subtitle}% {}% } \stopsetups \setupsectionworld [chapter] [setups={chapter:list}, author=] \def\ChapterCommand#1#2% {\vbox{\ChapterAuthor\ChapterTitle\ChapterSubTitle}} \let\ChapterAuthor\relax \let\ChapterTitle\relax \let\ChapterSubTitle\relax \protect \setupmarking[chapter][limittext={}] \def\nocr{{\ \nomarking{\nolist\crlf}}} \starttext \startsectionworld[chapter][author=B.

(Two different problems, I guess.) (I use XeTeX with latest ConTeXt) For I must send my book to the printer, I fixed it with inserting "\ ". But I'd appreciate a real solution.

Fun with Bibtex
by Peter Daum 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi all I'm using Taco's Bibtex module and got some problems with it. \setupbibtex[database=xxxxxx,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa-de,refcommand=authoryear,monthconversion=month] \placepublications[criterium=all] ... works fine. The references list contains only publications referenced in the document. Unfortunately, I was forced to use a special bst file, since I needed to change the fields of the entrytype "misc". As I didn't find a way to make ConTeXt or texexec aware of this new file living in my document's directory, I deleted the database parameter, customised the aux file and ran bibtex by myself. The problem is, that, with the new method, only a very small subset of the referenced publication makes it into the list. If I add "criterium=all" to the setuppublications command, I get the whole database, whether the pub is referenced or not. Any ideas? Thanks and regards Peter -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?

Clickable Subsections in TOC

25 Sep '08

Hi, it's me again. :) Why can I only click the green dots left of the words but not the words themself? (Tested with luatex an pdftex.) >>> \setupcolors [state=start] \setupinteraction [state=start] \setuplist [subsection] [interaction=all, alternative=d, style={\tfx}, margin=5mm] \starttext \placelist[subsection][symbol=one] \subsection{one} \subsection{two} \stoptext >>> Best regards, Eyke

setupinteraction breaks urls in MKⅣ
by Matthias Wächter 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

minimum source: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \useURL[u][http://www.x.com/] see \from[u]. \stoptext It works: • in MKⅡ • in MKⅣ only if the first line is commented, i.e. without setupinteraction. It doesn't work in MKⅣ, no change by updating to latest. Are there any known workarounds? It makes my bibliography undeliverable … Thanks, - Matthias

page-log.tex
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hallo! I tried to download and unzip context-setup-mswin.zip. The wiki says 'Run first-setup.bat, go for a coffee.' But thats not possible. I am six times asked for a replacement name for 'page-log.tex' which does not exist. I gave him 'page-log.mkii' and finally all goes ok.
