Hi, please have a look at this: \definestartstop[redimportant][before={\startcolor[red]\bf\penalty10000\hskip\zeropoint},after={\/\stopcolor}] \starttext This is normal, but this\startredimportant one\startfootnote at least \stopfootnote is bold\stopredimportant style. This is normal, but this\startredimportant one\startfootnote at least \stopfootnote is bold\stopredimportant. This is normal, but this\startredimportant{} one\startfootnote at least \stopfootnote{} is bold\stopredimportant{} style. This is normal, but this\startredimportant{} one\startfootnote at least \stopfootnote{} is bold\stopredimportant. \stoptext Is the missing \autoinsertnextspace back in the meantime? Or does someone has a good substitute ... other then {} braces? Steffen

Dear Hans, maybe my request comes a bit late, but nevertheless - how difficult is it to fix \longrightarrow in MKIV in Lucida font? (In MKII it works fine.) \setupbodyfont[lucida] \starttext $\longrightarrow$ \stoptext The arrow has white space in the middle. Thanks a lot, Mojca

Dear Till/Christian/Hans, The following is broken in ConTeXt MKIV (assuming the usage of patched TikZ to allow running it under MKIV at all), but works fine in ConTeXt MKII: \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \starttikzpicture \node[circle,ball color=red!10] (a) at (0,0,0) {$p_x$}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] Bibliography contains references not cited in the text

But I saw that the the .bbl file was sorted. I then found that when you add sorttype=bbl as an argument to \setuppublications (so, in your example use \setuppublications[refcommand=authoryear,sorttype=bbl]) and use \placepublications[] you will get the cited publications sorted alphabetically by author name. I later saw that this solution was already given by Aditya Mahajan in ntg-context Digest, Vol 76, Issue 141 Date: 29 oktober 2010, Message 4, Subject: sorttype for bibtex Regards, Robert Blackstone

how to flip even pages upside down??
by Leo Razoumov 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi List, I am a new ConTeXt user coming from LaTeX background. To print duplex on my printer I need to flip even pages upside down. I looked into section 3.7 "Arranging Pages" of the latest ConTeXt manual (2010-10-26). It shows how to setup very elaborate page compositions but somehow I failed to find a solution for my little problem. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. --Leo--

seeking 'hello world' example for Arabic typesetting with conTeXt
by Jon Crump 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Dear all, I'm gradually getting my head around using ConTeXt to typeset texts marked up in TEI/XML. I'm trying to typeset an English/Arabic text and I keep breaking my teeth on the Arabic. I'm trying to do what I can with the macTeX 2010 distribution, but the documentation on the conTeXt wiki has me confused. The amount I don't know about TeX is truly daunting, but clearly there are some basic things about font management that I don't understand. I thought I had found a minimal example in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew that I could use as a starting point. After saving it locally as ara-sty.tex I tried to typeset: % engine=luatex \environment ara-sty \starttext \setarabic أهلا بالعالم! \stoptext a PDF was produced but it contained no text save for !. Among the things that conTeXt told me was: !define font : font with name arabtype is not found !define font : unknown font arabtype, loading aborted !define font : unable to define arabtype as \*Arabic20ptrmtf* Where should I look for this font? Where is conTeXt looking for it? If I were to find it, where should I put it? I gather that fonts on my system can be used, but font metric files for them have to be generated. How to do that? Apologies for the unfocused tyro questions, but the TeX world has become so much larger than it was when I last used it that I feel quite at sea with all the available documentation. thanks, Jon
