Trouble with ConTeXt's project structure
by Stefan Müller 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Dear list, I tried to set up a project of mine using the project structure propagated in the wiki [1]. Because I ran into some trouble I made the following small example (using MkIV, minimals 2010.10.14 13:14). %% project_mymag.tex \startproject project_mymag \environment env_mymag \product prd_year2004-01 \completecontent[criterium=all] \stopproject %% EOF %% env_mymag.tex \startenvironment env_mymag \setupindenting[medium, yes] %some random setup \stopenvironment %% EOF %% prd_year2004-01 \startproduct prd_year2004-01 \project project_mymag \component c_editorial \component c_article01 \stopproduct %% EOF %% c_editorial.tex \startcomponent c_editorial \product prd_year2004-01 \project project_mymag \chapter{Editorial} Dear reader... \stopcomponent %% EOF %% c_article01.tex \startcomponent c_article01 \product prd_year2004-01 \project project_mymag \chapter{First Article} This will be awesome... \stopcomponent %% EOF When I translate the project file I get what I want, e.g. 3 pages: first page "Editorial", second page "First Article", third page "Content". When I translate the product file I don't get "Editorial", "First Article" as expected, but "Content", "Editorial", "First Article". It seems as if context first typesets the project file without going down inside the products again, before typesetting the originally called project. When I translate one of the component files, lets say c_editorial.tex, I get "Contents", "Editorial" instead of just one page "Editorial". Again, it seems as if context first looks inside the project file (without going down) and only then typesets the component. Another case, same problem. If I drop the "product", i.e. I only have a project file including several components, the individual component files and an environment file, kind of the same problems appear. Translating the project file works well. Translating the component file c_editorial.tex results in a PDF with 4 pages (instead of one with "Editorial"): "Editorial", "First Article", "Contents", "Editorial". Context puts the whole project in the PDF and appends the component c_editorial... All this seems very strange to me, especially since a friend told me project structure works pretty well in his projects. I tested on two different machines (Windows Vista and Linux). Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug or a feature? Thanks for your help in advance. Best wishes, Stefan. [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure

pictures in tabulate
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to use pictures inside a tabulate environment. Unfortunately, newer versions of ConTeXt don't take the picture height into account. The following code gives a somewhat disappointing result both in mkii and mkiv: \starttext \starttabulate[|rw(3em)|p|] \NC YYY \NC ZZZ \NC \NR \NC XXX \NC \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[cow][frame=on,width=0.5\textwidth] \NC \NR \NC YYY \NC ZZZ \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Interestingly, this used to work a couple of years ago (last time I used this was 2008), but something must have changed. I tried putting the externalfigure into a \tbox, but no dice. Bug or feature? All best Thomas

\ReadFile in MkII vs MkIV
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi, In MkII, I can say \ReadFile{/tmp/filename} to read a file in /tmp directory. However, in MkIV, that fails because ReadFile is defined as \unexpanded\def\ReadFile #1{\doreadfile{any} {.}{#1}\donothing\donothing} so it explicitly searches in the . (current) directory. Bug or feature? Aditya

title settings
by Herbert Voss 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '10

If I understand the documentations correct, then the first command should set _all_ titles to slanted except the subsection. When I run this example the titles are always upright. \setupheads[textstyle=slanted] \setuphead[part][placehead=yes,color=blue] \setuphead[subsection][numberstyle=bold,textstyle=cap] \starttext \part{Teilebene} \chapter{Kapitelebene} \section{Abschnittsebene 1} \subsection{Abschnittsebene 2} \subsubsection{Abschnittsebene 3} \stoptext running TeXLive2010 with mkiv Herbert

Wanted: ConTeXt: The poster
by Martin Schröder 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi, for use at a conference booth I'd like to have a poster (A3 up to A0) describing (and of course promoting) ConTeXt. You may assume that the audience already knows (La)TeX. :-) The first use would be at OpenRheinRuhr in November. Since most ConTeXt developers will be together next week, could you please spend some time creating one? A short (say 20 frames) PDF presentation on the same subject would also be nice to have. Best Martin

Re: [NTG-context] Furigana
by S Barmeier 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Thank you, it's almost working. I am making use of projects, products, environments and components. My \usemodule[ruby] sits in my environment file, but I'm using the \ruby command down in the component file. The environment is only called in the project file, but the component links back to the product (with \product - I guess that's how you do it?) and the product back to the project. The error occurs, no matter at which level (project/product/component) I am compiling. Do I really need to call the module in each component? I thought the component should trace back to the higher levels to find which modules to load...

Extra spaces in APA bibliography style

Hi, I just noticed that there is an extra space after the booktitle and before ', pages' in the publicationlayout inproceedings in the english APA bibliography style.

A few puzzling problems (bugs?) with enumerations
by Mathieu Boespflug 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi, using the latest beta, I've had a bunch of problems using enumerations in mkiv. Earlier betas have had the same problems. Consider the following document: \defineenumeration [definition] [ text=Definition, title=yes, list=all, listtext={Definition }] \defineenumeration [theorem] [ text=Theorem, title=yes, style=italic, list=all, number=definition, listtext={Theorem }] \defineenumeration [proof] [ text=Proof, number=no, headstyle=italic, title=no, closesymbol={\mathematics{\square}}, style=normal] \starttext blah blah \startdefinition{foo} body1 \stopdefinition \startdefinition body2 \stopdefinition \startdefinition[-] body3 \stopdefinition \starttheorem $P = NP$ \stoptheorem \startproof too long to fit here. \stopproof \section{Inside sections} \subsection{Inside subsections} \startdefinition{foo} body1 \stopdefinition \startdefinition body2 \stopdefinition \startdefinition[-] body3 \stopdefinition \starttheorem[thm:pnp] $P = NP$ \stoptheorem \startproof too long to fit here. \stopproof Let's talk about \in{theorem}[thm:pnp]. \stoptext I see five problems : 1. Even when the enumeration has no title, the parentheses appear. Judging by Aditya's code in his MyWay on theorems, it used to be that when there is no title, the parens don't appear. How do I recover this behaviour? 2. I want the "theorem" enumeration to share its number with the "definition" environment. That doesn't seem to work. Outside of any section, the theorem just doesn't have any number. Inside a section, the theorem very oddly displays the section number. 3. I want the "proof" enumeration to have no number. That doesn't work inside a section. As for the "theorem" enumeration, the section number is printed even though here i requested no number at all! 4. Suppressing the number for a specific enumeration using the [-] switch doesn't work. As before, inside a section, the section number appears instead of no number. 5. Citing a specific theorem using \in{theorem}[thm:pnp] doesn't show the number of a theorem. I'm guessing the last four points are all related. Best regards, Mathieu

How to set the caption length?
by seasoul 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

When a figure is placed, but this figure size is much smaller than the textwidth, the caption length will adjust after the figure size. \placefigure [][fig:xxx] {xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx} {\externalfigure[xxx]} when set the figure size to an arbitrary size, the caption length will also change. But what I expect is, i change the figure size, but the caption size is always the textwith, or i can set it arbitrarily, for example 90% of the text size. I know it should be very easy, but honestly, i do not know.
