simplefonts
by Wolfgang Schuster 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi all, I uploaded a new (29th August :) release of the simplefonts module, the biggest changes are: - different names for the keys to select fonts in the case bold, italic etc. alternatives are not found, each of the key ends now with ..font, e.g. italicfont, boldfont, bolditalicfont ... - the command name to define a typeface (\definetypeface) is now \definesimplefonttypeface but this will eventually change again - I added keys to enable font expansion and protrusion, you can use them with \setupsimplefonts what will affect all fonts or with \set..font which will affect only the current style Wolfgang

Dear list, Just an idea that has been haunting me for some time already. Since we can generate metapost and lilypond graphics on the fly, why not give processing.org a try? Piotr -- http://okle.pl

References in MKIV and bib module
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Hello, I have not been following the list too closely ... what is the status of cross-references in MKIV? I don't seem to get any number printed. \starttext this is in figure \in[bla] \placefigure[force][bla]{caption}{figure} \stoptext The bib module almost works (Hans and Taco - thanks a lot!). But self-defined publication layouts seem to have problems or don't appear in the list of references at least: \newbibfield[conference] \newbibfield[cobissid] \setuppublicationlayout[conference]{% \insertartauthors{}{\unskip. }{}% \insertarttitle{\bgroup }{\egroup. }{}% \insertconference{\bgroup \it}{\egroup\insertday{, }{. }{}\insertmonth{}{\ }{}\insertpubyear{}{}{}. }{}% \insertcobissid{[COBISS.SI-ID\ }{]}{}% } \startpublication [k=key, t=conference, y=2009, s=, u=, ] \artauthor[]{Me}[M.]{}{Personally} \arttitle{Very important title} \conference{Very important conference in Bochum} \pubyear{2009}\month{March}\day{16-20} \cobissid{42} \stoppublication Mojca

typo in bibl-tra.mkii: firstiftwoarguments --> firstoftwoarguments

13 Sep '09

ConTeXt ver: 2009.09.11 18:14 MKII fmt: 2009.9.13 int: english/english Using MkII documents with bibliographies fail because \firstiftwoarguments is undefined. Guessing this was meant to be firstoftwoarguments seems to work: $ diff -C3 bibl-tra.mkii.orig bibl-tra.mkii *** bibl-tra.mkii.orig 2009-09-11 08:59:47.000000000 -0300 --- bibl-tra.mkii 2009-09-13 07:51:39.000000000 -0300 *************** *** 1183,1189 **** \def\doifbibreferencefoundelse#1% {\preloadbiblist \doifdefinedelse{pbdk-#1} ! {\firstiftwoarguments} {\showmessage\m!publications{5}{#1 is unknown}% \secondoftwoarguments}} --- 1183,1189 ---- \def\doifbibreferencefoundelse#1% {\preloadbiblist \doifdefinedelse{pbdk-#1} ! {\firstoftwoarguments} {\showmessage\m!publications{5}{#1 is unknown}% \secondoftwoarguments}} -- George N.

synctex
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Hi, I have a discussion with Jonathan Kew about mark IV option in TeXWorks. We need to to pass the argument "-synctex=1" to the actual *tex invocation, so that the engine creates a .synctex.gz file alongside the .pdf output; this enables texworks to jump back and forth between source and preview locations. How this can be done? Regards, Vyatcheslav
