bib in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi all, shouldn't this work in mkiv as well? It does work in mkii. In mkiv, I see in the log file publications : warning: cite argument * is unknown on line 175 so it looks like it's interpreting the \nocite[*] literally. Any thoughts on this? All best Thomas \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={vdORW06},totalnumber=2] \startpublication[k=arafatpausanias,t=book, a={{Arafat}},y=1996, n=1,s=Ara96] \author[]{Karim~W.}[K.~W.]{}{Arafat} \pubyear{1996} \title{Pausanias' Greece: Ancient Artists and Roman Rulers} \city{Cambridge (Engl.)} \pubname{Cambridge UP} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=sidebottompausanias,t=article, a={{Sidebottom}},y=2002, n=8,s=Sid02] \artauthor[]{Harry}[H.]{}{Sidebottom} \pubyear{2002} \arttitle{Pausanias: Past, Present, and Closure} \journal{Classical Quarterly} \volume{52} \pages{494--499} \stoppublication \setuppublications [state=start, sorttype=bbl, criterium=all, numbering=yes] \setuppublicationlist[criterium=all] \starttext \section{References} \nocite[*] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext

\skipenumerationcoupling in mk4 and other troubles
by Matthias Weber 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Dear all, with today's beta, I am trying to use \skipenumerationcoupling without success. A sample project is attached. Will this stay an mk4-only feature? Also, I still have major misnumberings of all enumerations in mk4. They come out as I want in mk2, but I have the hunch that I am using erroneous code in the setup that is tolerated in mk2 but not in mk4. For instance, does \defineenumeration [exercise] [before=\blank, after=\blank, way=bysection, text=Exercise, start=1, location=hanging, letter=rm] make sense in mk4? Thanks, Matthias

Hello, Thanks for the hint. Actually, I rather use it "inline" as \bTR[background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] .... Regards, Vaytcheslav > referring to is the first row, you could add before \bTABLE: > > \setupTABLE[row][1][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] > >

Repeating page backgrounds
by Willi Egger 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi, I thought that \setupbackgrounds[page][state=repeat] would result in placing the defined background on every page. - It seems that I miss something or the mechanism is broken. Se attached sample-file. This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.50.0-2009122422 Context current version: 2010.01.25 11:09 The example gives the page background on the first page only with MKII as well as with MKIV. Willi

useblocks troubles
by Bernhard Vogel 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Dear all, When selecting multiple blocks: \useblocks[someblock,otherblock], the blocks are selected but the before and after statements are not processed. Is the expected behaviour? Tia, Bernard Example: \defineblock[someblock] \defineblock[otherblock] \setupblock[someblock] [before={ -Begin- }, after={ -End- }] \hideblocks[someblock,otherblock] \starttext \beginsomeblock SOMEBLOCK \endsomeblock \beginotherblock OTHERBLOCK \endotherblock \section{No before or after} \useblocks[someblock,otherblock] \useblocks[otherblock,someblock] \section{Separately they work} \useblocks[someblock] \useblocks[otherblock] \stoptext

updating Minimals for MKIV
by Gour 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hiya! I've decide to (finally) learn ConTeXt and use it exclusively as well as port (some of) the old documents from LaTeX/LyX. In order to do that I've installed context-minimals-git package available for Arch Linux (thank you Aditya! - mahajano yena gatah sa panthah) ;) I've some issues with update (left the note on AUR), but I'm curious what is the proper way to update ConTeXt for MKIV format? (I do not need MKII and want to focus on MKIV exclusively - to help with testing and because I've no need to keep any MK II document.) The wiki page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals) says: * For making MKIV format luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make while the package for Archlinux has the following update function: post_upgrade() { source /opt/context-minimals/setuptex mktexlsr texexec --make cont-en metafun texexec --make --xetex echo "*************************************************************" echo "To use ConTeXt minimals run" echo " /opt/context-minimals/setuptex" echo "To use MkIV run" echo " luatools --generate" echo "*************************************************************" } i.e. only "luatools --generate". Anyone can clarify? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG key: F96FF5F6 ----------------------------------------------------------------

More numbering trouble with blocks
by Matthias Weber 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Dear all, when pairing exercises with recalled solution blocks it seems that both are numbered consecutively but independently. When I don't give a solution to an exercise, the subsequent solution numbers are incorrect. What is the proper way to deal with this? Manipulate the counter in the exercises without answers somehow? Basic example attached. Thanks, Matthias
