I too would be very happy with the possibility to produce a Bibliography with various sections. In my case separate sections would be needed for Manuscript Sources and Early printed versions, where the data concern mostly Libraries or Museums and things like catalogue numbers and shelf marks, and for Music (with Composer instead of Author and the possibility to indicate the whereabouts of manuscripts or early prints, and/or the name of the copyist). Incidentally, there must be many others with similar wishes, for in the past few years I have seen this topic several times on this list. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

facing-page translation
by Jon Crump 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

All, More naive questions about xml and context. I'm finding this slow going and documentation opaque, or just thin on the ground. Posting as a separate question: I've trawled through the documentation for help in typesetting TEI marked-up documents as facing-page translations. What little I've found there that I can understand is not encouraging. Does anyone know of examples of XML -> ConTeXt -> PDF that could give me a clue as to how this might be done? thanks, jon

Unwanted spaces removing
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hello ConTeXist, For some reason I need to use \placefigure environment in such a way that no space are before and after this environment (eg space for image caption under image). I want to hit as a result of using \externalfigure separately only. Can this be arranged? I tried \removelastskip, \removeunwantedspaces etc, but without success. Thanks Jaroslav. Here is my example ... \starttext \input knuth % here is no blank in PDF document \externalfigure[cow] % here is no blank in PDF document \input knuth % <- Here is blank before image and I can remove it, so it was like in the previous example \placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[cow]} % <- Here is blank under image (for caption of figure) and I can remove it, so it was like in the previous example \input tufte \stoptext

How can I set a different color for external URLs than that used for internal (in document) links? \setupinteraction[state=start,color=red] \starttext \section[1]{One} In \in{section}[1] and url \goto{example.com}[url(http://example.com)]. \stoptext P.S. I can't use \setURL \useURL for several reasons. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

tiny bug in table (or my code?)
by Mojca Miklavec 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Dear Hans, There is something wrong in this example, but I'm not able to figure out if it's a problem in my code or a bug (with MKII it works just fine). When compiled with MKIV, I get extra space on the right, as if a column on the right was missing. \def\mymacro#1#2#3{\VL #1 \NC #2 \NC #3 \VL\AR} \starttable[|cp(2em)|rp(2em)|rp(2em)|] \HL \VL 1 \NC 2 \NC 3 \VL\AR \mymacro123 \HL \stoptable Mojca PS: \startTEXpage ... \stopTEXpage around the code behaves as if table was infinitely small. Is that OK?

\definefontalternative breaks font switches in math
by Florian Wobbe 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Dear typescript experts, in an earlier Email I reported, that the font switches did not work in math mode. E.g., $\bf a=\alpha$ $\bi a=\alpha$ did not display bold math. It turned out that this happens when I invoke \definefontalternative. Normaly \bf is defined like this: *\show\bf > \bf=\protected macro: ->\ifmmode \mathbf \else \normalbf \fi . <*> \show\bf After using \definefontalternative it looks different: *\show\bf > \bf=\protected macro: ->\setcurrentfontalternative {bf}. <*> \show\bf Minimal example: % \definefontalternative [sb] % <-- uncomment me to break bold math \starttext $\bf 3x^2+7x$ \stoptext How to avoid this? Thanks for advice, Florian
