sorting bibliography
by Yury G. Kudryashov 24 Nov '10

Hi! Could you please tell me how to sort bibliogrpahy in ConTeXt Mark IV? I've tried \setuppublications[sorttype=author,sort=yes] but this doesn't work. It seems that bibl-tra.lua contains two compare() functions. Which one is used (my Lua knowledge is far from perfect)? P.S.: I'm ready to convert my bibtex db to another format if this will help.

Tabs inside \starttyping \stoptyping
by Richard Stephens 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hello again, I am using the latest beta (20.11.2010 12:15) and I've found that a file with a [tab] inside \starttyping...\stoptyping results in an error. Example: \starttext \starttyping Some typing. \stoptyping \stoptext Note the [tab] before "Some". This results in error: ! LuaTeX error ...ools/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/util-str.lua:56: attempt to call global 'rep' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...ools/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/util-str.lua:56: in function 'tabtospace' ...ools/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/buff-ini.lua:576: in function 'line' ...ools/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/buff-ini.lua:289: in function 'action' ...ools/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/buff-ini.lua:231: in function 'type' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \nododowithbuffer ...\typingparameter \c!range ")} \dostoptagged \endofverbat... l.4 \stoptyping Any thoughts?

Mojca, Thanks for trying to help, Here's what I do know so far. . . 1. Yes I bought TUG Lucida and have installed the fonts in c:\localtexmf and done fndb update via MikTeX 2.9 wizard. 2. Yes I also used 3rd party patch and installed those tfm files also in the localtexmf directory Here is a sample of the log file:: (Master.tex publications : loading formatting style from bxml-apa (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/base/bxml-apa.mkiv) ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV fmt: 2010.11.19 int: english/english system : cont-new loaded (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv)) system : cont-fil loaded (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : ConTeXt File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/base/type-def.mkiv) (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/base/type-lua.mkiv) (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/base/type-siz.mkiv) (C:/Users/barndog/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv)) system : Master.top loaded % % begin of optionfile % % % runtime options files (command line driven) % \unprotect % % special commands, mostly for the ctx development team % % feedback and basic job control % % handy for special styles % \startluacode % document = document or { } % document.arguments={ % } % document.files={ % "Master.tex", % } % \stopluacode % % process info % \setupsystem[inputfile=Master.tex] % \setupsystem[\c!n=1,\c!m=1] % % modes % % options (not that important) % \startsetups *runtime:options % \setupoutput[pdftex] % \stopsetups % % styles and modules % \startsetups *runtime:modules % \stopsetups % % done % \protect \endinput % % end of optionfile % (Master.top) fonts : preloading latin modern fonts bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : language en is active !define font : forced type afm of lbr not found !define font : font with name lbr is not found !define font : forced type tfm of hlcrim not found !define font : font with name hlcrim is not found !define font : forced type tfm of hlcrim not found !define font : font with name hlcrim is not found !define font : forced type tfm of hlcry not found !define font : font with name hlcry is not found . . .

Problem with expansion tables (macros with variable numbers of paramaters)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hello ConTeXist... I work on my first module (t-scancsv) which allows to process external CSV files. Now I have a problem with the processing of tables that require expansion line data. Unable to discover why my macro is not capable of handling the expanded rows. It seems to me that the macros with variable number of parameters work differently from the macros with a fixed number of parameters. I attach a minimal example of what problems occur in the processing of expanded lines. I need to write a macro \doloopaction with a variable number of parameters that would work as well as macro \doloopfromto, which has 3 fixed parameters. In addition, I attach a demonstration of the failing macro \DOLOOPFROMTO (variable number of parameters), but seems to me the same as the macro \doloopfromto. Someone help me find out what the problem is?? Thanx Jaroslav Here is my example: \def\FirstName{\recurselevel. MyFirstName} \def\Surname{\recurselevel. MySurname} \def\Id{\recurselevel. MyId} \def\lineaction{\expanded{\bTR\bTD \Id \eTD\bTD \FirstName \eTD\bTD \Surname \eTD\eTR}} \def\tab{\bTR\bTD \Id \eTD\bTD \FirstName \eTD\bTD \Surname \eTD\eTR} \def\xtab{\expanded{\bTR\bTD \Id \eTD\bTD \FirstName \eTD\bTD \Surname \eTD\eTR}} \def\bT{\bTABLE\bTR\bTD ID\eTD\bTD FirstName\eTD\bTD Surname\eTD\eTR} \def\eT{\eTABLE} \def\doloopfromto#1#2#3{% \dostepwiserecurse{#1}{#2}{1}{#3} }% \def\doloopaction{\dotriplegroupempty\doloopAction} \def\doloopAction#1#2#3{% \doifelsenothing{#1} {\doloopfromto{1}{10}{\lineaction}%0 par., } {\doifelsenothing{#2} {\doloopfromto{1}{10}{#1}% 1 par } {\doifelsenothing{#3} {\doloopfromto{1}{#2}{#1}%2 par } {\doloopfromto{#2}{#3}{#1}%3 par }}} } \def\DOLOOPFROMTO{\dotriplegroupempty\DOLOOPFROMTOAction} \def\DOLOOPFROMTOAction#1#2#3{% \doifelsenothing{#1} {%\doloopfromto{1}{10}{\lineaction}%0 par., \dostepwiserecurse{1}{10}{1}{\lineaction} } {\doifelsenothing{#2} {%\doloopfromto{1}{10}{#1}% 1 par \dostepwiserecurse{1}{10}{1}{#1} } {\doifelsenothing{#3} {%\doloopfromto{1}{#2}{#1}%2 par \dostepwiserecurse{1}{#2}{1}{#1} } {%\doloopfromto{#2}{#3}{#1}%3 par \dostepwiserecurse{#2}{#3}{1}{#1} }}} } \starttext 1.

by Paul Korrol 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

I am attempting to move from LaTeX to ConTeXt. I hope my question is not too simple. I am trying to see how to go about creating a master document using context. I have searched the mail archives and other documentation I could find but have found no information as to how to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Dear ConTeXt group, I have Winedt 6.0 latest release with ConteXt support, MikTeX 2.9 16 Nov build (Luatex ver. .60). I am trying to move a book full of math to a ConTeXt document using lucida fonts. I have read everything I can find on this subject and serched all I can find in this list. I get the body text by: \setupbodyfont[lucida] and that works fine but ..... how do I get all the math symbols I need using lucida? neither %\setmathfont [Lucida New Math] %\setmathfont[Lucida] works. Please advise barney

referencing position on page in index
by Philipp Gesang 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hi all, one of my favorite grammars contains rather elaborated indices: to a given entry they not only list the page numbers, but also the position on the respective page. To this end any page is subdivided into four regions to which the entries may refer separately. For instance, these entries: Aspekte beim Verbum 509\high{2} Assibilation 154\high{2·4} would refer to the second quarter of page 509 and to the second and fourth quarter of page 154 respectively. Is there a mechanism to achieve that or could the context’s referencing be extended in that way? Some page scans from the indices: http://bayimg.com/pAAhkAaDn http://bayimg.com/aAAiJAaDn Thanks for your time, Philipp

Re: [NTG-context] index sort question
by Horacio Suarez 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Jano, thankyou very much. It is a songs book, and I need an author table of content. Your solution is very good, works fine, but using \pagenumber or incrementing a counter I can´t make it work. I replace \pagenumber with a incremental number to assure the label sorting. So using the original sample, instead of:A\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+rojo}\pageB\index[araña+\pagenumber]{araña+linda}\pageC\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+verde}\pageD\index[araña+\pagenumber]{araña+grande}\pageE\index[arbol+\pagenumber]{arbol+blanco}\page it is nowA\index[arbol1]{arbol+rojo}\pageB\index[araña2]{araña+linda}\pageC\index[arbol3]{arbol+verde}\pageD\index[araña4]{araña+grande}\pageE\index[arbol5]{arbol+blanco}\page Even it´not elegant, the Author index is very nice! Maybe yo know why I can´t make it work. Well, thankyou again. -------------------- Horacio Suarez Editorial Antropofagia www.eantropofagia.com.ar > To: ntg-context(a)ntg.nl > From: jano.kula(a)tiscali.cz > Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 10:49:35 +0100 > Subject: Re: [NTG-context] index sort question > > On 11/19/2010 10:45 AM, Jano Kula wrote: > > Hello Horacio, > > > > if you have only one index item per page, than on the second level you > > can use \pagenumber for sorting: > > or your own counter increased by every index item, which doesn't > restrict it to one item per page. > > J. > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context(a)ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________
