Content head
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hallo, I would like to def a costum head, but I also want the pure word 'Inhaltsverzeichnis' as content head. I tryed: ---------------------------------------- \def\Vortrag#1#2{#1~Vortrag:~#2}% \setuphead[chapter][command=\Vortrag ] \definehead[contenthead][title] \starttext \contenthead{Inhaltsverzeichnis} \placecontent \chapter{Bla} blub \stoptext ---------------------------------------- But the content head is still prefixed with 'Vortrag:'. What is the solution for this? Gruß, Wolfgang

for the brave
by Hans Hagen 27 Jan '09

Hi, I uploaded beta zip with a prelude to the new structure related code. I hope that I didn't forget files. context --make xp will generate the experimental format (you really need a luatools --generate because there are many new files). With context --interface=xp yourfile will use that format. Eventually the xp format will go away but this is a nice intermediate step for those who are willing to help debugging the code. Those who look into the source ... it all happens in strc-*.tex|lua and when you look in the tua/tuc file you see what is carried around (this will be optimized). Much code still needs a rewrite. The format file is slightly smaller and less hash space is used, in spite of more functionality. This is a side effect of a more dynamic inheritance model (slower, but not so much an issue noaways and compensated by speedups in other areas like one time multipass data reading). For xml users: although somewhat experimental, we now have roundtrip xml in lists (and some other constructs, more to come). \setuphead[chapter][expansion=xml] This only works for mkiv xml, as we also keep track of the document root in order to apply the right setups. For Aditya: numbering of math is redone and soon we have to split up strc-mat into pieces (when we start doing unicode math) but you can already have a look at it. Don't worry too much if your documents crash. I simply cannot test everything so it might be a good opportunity for volunteers to help documenting behaviour and making tests. The main incompatibilities are in the numbering: we now use sets for numbering, seperators, converters etc as well as processors for specific layout of these thingies. This info is carried around so that intermediate style changes are reflected in tables of contents and references (of course they can be overloaded). It's the price we pay fro more flexibility.

BibTeX in ConTeXt natbib style
by J.A.J. Pater 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

In LaTeX when using the natbib package I can use: \citet[p. 113]{Bell1992} to get: "Bell (1992, p. 112)" \cite[p. 113]{Bell1992} to get: "(Bell, 1992, p. 112)" Trying to do this in ConTeXt I came up with this: \setupcite [author][left=,right=] \setupcite [year][left=,right=] \def\CiteP#1#2% {(\cite[author][{#2}]% ,\ \cite[year][{#2}]% ,\ {#1} )} \CiteP{p. 13}{article-full} And: \def\CiteA#1#2% {\cite[author][{#2}]% \ (\cite[year][{#2}]% ,\ {#1} )} \CiteA{p. 13}{article-full} It works alright, but it seems rather crude to me. Is there a more elegant way? Or maybe more to the point: a way in which I do not have to use \setupcite? Thanks in advance, Adriaan. P.S. I made my first contribution to the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Version_Control

Background on paragraphs
by Antoine Cailliau 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm new to ConTeXt but not new to LaTeX and I really enjoy to learn again something new and that seems to be cleaner in syntax at least. By reading the excursion, I typed something that did not work on my computer. It is about the background on paragraphs. I've a big black background and we cannot see the text. I attached the PDF file produced. I used texexec : % texexec TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD and the following code : \setupbackground[background=screen,corner=round] \starttext \startbackground Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam semper mi pellentesque diam. Vestibulum tellus erat, vestibulum vel, blandit ac, placerat at, metus. Integer rhoncus neque vel dolor. Sed dapibus arcu eu lorem. In eleifend nunc nec justo. Maecenas sagittis ultricies orci. Proin nec est. Integer dictum dictum felis. Mauris nibh dui, tempus eget, auctor et, ultrices nec, nulla. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Duis lacinia vehicula pede. Sed eros tellus, ultricies id, porttitor sed, bibendum quis, metus. Pellentesque et justo eu ante tristique aliquet. Quisque dui tellus, cursus sit amet, tincidunt nec, imperdiet et, nibh. Quisque sapien elit, semper ac, molestie et, dapibus vulputate, nunc. Sed in nisl. Vivamus ligula. Aliquam eros pede, iaculis vitae, imperdiet sit amet, commodo a, nibh. Pellentesque a turpis. \stopbackground \stoptext I hope to have some help and feedback about, Cheers, Antoine C.

endnotes grouped by chapter in a separate chapter
by Jesse Alama 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

I'd like to have endnotes placed in an appendix. I would like that appendix not to be one large list of notes; instead, I would like the notes to be grouped into sections within the appendix. Currently, I'm aware of \setupnotes[endnote][way=bychapter] and \placenotes[endnote] This setup produces a list of notes labeled in ascending numerical order, with numbering reset by chapters. Appendix A: Notes 1 Note from chapter 1. 2 Second note from chapter 1. 3 Third note from chaper 1. 1 First note from chapter 2. 2 Second note from chapter 2. 1 First note from chapter 3 ... I'd like to have the endnotes grouped by chapter and displayed something like this Appendix A: Notes Notes from Chapter 1: My Great Chapter 1 Note from chapter 1. 2 Second note from chapter 1. 3 Third note from chaper 1. Notes from Chapter 2: My Second Great Chapter 1 First note from chapter 2. 2 Second note from chapter 2. Notes from Chapter 3: ... ... I've looked through the mailing list and the wiki, but I've not been able to find out how to accomplish what I'm after. Any ideas? Thanks, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu)

Centering a defined text frame
by Bart C. Wise 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

I'm trying to have a centered text frame. There are two examples in the code below. 1) This one works. It uses a text frame that is in line in the code. 2) This one does not work! It's using a defined text frame and flushes the text frame to the left. How do I fix this? Thanks, Bart \defineframedtext[CenteredText][width=fit] \starttext % This one works! \startalignment[center] \dontleavehmode \framedtext[width=fit]{ \startlines The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. \stoplines } \stopalignment % This one fails! \startalignment[center] \dontleavehmode \startCenteredText \startlines The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. \stoplines \stopCenteredText \stoptext
