Ambitious project (Font Folio)
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello everybody, I have an ambitious project in mind. I'm in position to make typescripts for the whole Adobe Font Folio 11. By now, I'm only concerned with Western/Cyrrilic Fonts (490+ fonts), and MKIV engine. The benefit is that users will be able to use most popular fonts out-of-the-box, thus giving the ConTeXt strong advantage in professional typesetting world. I think my effort will require some support from NTG ;o), but before applying I'd like to hear your response. Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hi, There is a new beta: a few additions to math as well as a prelude to new cjk support, now to be triggered explicitly (since the methods differ too much we cannot share them) \setscript[hangul] \setscript[hanzi] % arthur, is this the right name?

Bib module...
by Willi Egger 08 Mar '09

08 Mar '09

Hi, I should typeset an article... Now I tried out different approaches but I do not get a complete list of references. I am puzzled why I do get only Taco's reference in the list and why there is no journal mentioned in Taco's reference. Here is a minimal example: \setuppublicationlist[totalnumber=2,criterium=all] \startpublication [k=me, t=manual, a=Hoekwater, y=2006, s=TH2006, n=2, u=http://contextgarden.net/Bibliography] \artauthor{Taco}[T.]{}{Hoekwater} \arttitle{\CONTEXT\ Publication Module, The user documententation} \note{In case you didn’t know: it’s the document you are reading now} \pages{14} \journal{MAPS} \pages{100-114} \pubyear{2008} \stoppublication \startpublication[% k=Allan-eighty, t=article, a=Allan et al., y=1980, n=1] \artauthor[]{}[E.M.]{}{Allan} \artauthor[]{}[H M.]{}{Pirle} \artauthor[]{}[P. M.]{}{Msolla} \artauthor[]{}[I.E.]{}{Selman} \artauthor[]{}[A.]{}{Wiseman} \arttitle{The pathological features of severe cases of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis} \journal{Vet.

new beta
by Hans Hagen 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

Hi, I uploaded a new beta (mkiv): -- some optimizations to color literals; i might have introduced problems there so keep an eye on color -- beter definition for virtual lm math (design sizes etc) and a fix for undefined sizes -- taco and i also tracked down some accuracy problems with cirtual glyphs in luatex itself; it's not that critical unless you have eyes that can zoom in to .05pt so ther eis no real need to upgrade luatex now -- there are a few more optimizations but don't expect too much speed improvements in the future next comes integration of the new structure stuff (quite some impact) and further split of mkii/mkiv code Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Two questions - Cross Referencing (Automated label generation + Random items)
by Curious Learn 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

As I mentioned earlier, I am trying to use Context to make a multiple choice test. I have two questions. (1) Suppose I want to get a list of answers to the the multiple choice questions. One way I can think of doing this is by assigning a label to the CORRECT answer as done in the following code and then referring to that label. Is there a way these labels can be generated automatically, instead of hardcoding them as I have done below? defineenumeration[problem][text= ,location=inleft] \setupenumerations[problem][stopper=)] \defineitemgroup[choices][levels=1] \setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed] \nextrandom \starttext \problem This is the first question. \startchoices \startitem This is incorrect answer 1. \stopitem \startitem This is a wrong answer too. \stopitem \startitem[1] This is the CORRECT answer. \stopitem \startitem Yet another wrong answer. \stopitem \stopchoices \problem This is the second question. \startchoices \startitem[2] This is the CORRECT answer. \stopitem \startitem This is a wrong answer too. \stopitem \startitem This is not a correct choice. \stopitem \startitem Yet another wrong answer. \stopitem \stopchoices Answers to the questions \in[1] \in[2] \stoptext (2) When I add the option "random" to the itemgroup (\setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed,random]) then as expected the choices are listed in a random order. However, the label does not change with the choice listing. I want the reference to be attached to the CORRECT answer, which changes its position with random option. Is there a way to have the reference reflect the letter corresponding to the correct answer. Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it.

How to use my own BibTeX style (bst)?
by Wei-Wei Guo 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Dear all, I have both English and Chinese citations in my paper. Because Chinese citation has some special requirements, such as using "等" instead of "et al". I made a bst file to solve the localization problem. But after reading the manual of t-bib and searched in garden and mailing list, I find it might be tricky to make t-bib use my own bst file. Could you tell my how to do it? Thanks a lot! Best wishes, Wei-Wei Guo
