another bib bug: missing text after %
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hans, here's another bib-related bug report that I have only noticed today (I don't know how long it has been present). It works fine in MKII. The link is OK, but it displays wrong - everything after percentage sign is missing if I enable interaction. \setuppublicationlayout[image]{% {\sc url}: \inserturl{}{}{}} \startpublication[k=img:sigma_bond_d,t=image] \biburl{http://www.d.umn.edu/%7Epkiprof/ChemWebV2/Overlap/images/sigma-dz2.jpg} \stoppublication % this triggers the bug \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \cite[img:sigma_bond_d] \placepublications \stoptext Thanks, Mojca

custom colors for verbatim in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi all, pardon my ignorance, but how can I define custom colors for pretty printing xml in current mkiv? I tried defining a palet, I tried defining the usual colors prettyone etc., but to no avail. And, on a related note: are the files pret-lua.lua pret-mp.lua pret-tex.lua pret-xml.lua no longer part of mkiv? What has replaced them? I attach an example which works with mkii and with my older installation of mkiv (2010.10.22 16:46) but not with the current beta (2010.12.02 08:51). Thomas \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[paleblue][r=0.5,g=0.5,b=0.9] \definecolor[palered] [r=0.9,g=0.5,b=0.5] \definecolor[palecyan][r=0.41,g=0.84,b=0.84] \setuptyping[option=color, % palet=colorpretty, bodyfont=10pt, before={\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth, background=screen, frame=off, backgroundscreen=.9]}, after={\stopframedtext}] \definepalet[MYcolors] [prettyone=paleblue, prettytwo=palecyan, prettythree=palered, prettyfour=darkgreen] \definepalet[XMLcolorpretty][MYcolors] \starttext \startXML <main type="important">hello world</main> \stopXML \stoptext

bug: colors in TikZ/ConTeXt MKIV
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Dec '10

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

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation was very outdated. I tried to update it. Could someone have a look over it if everything is ok now? Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

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

\setuptyping: font size
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 01 Dec '10

Hello, I'm trying to \setuptyping to use a 8pt font size [of a tt typeface]. Here are my trials - in several cases I get the wanted result but with error messages: --- t.mkiv \enableregime[cp1250] %\setuptyping[default][style=\ttxx\setupinterlinespace] % This works somehow but with errors \setuptyping[default][bodyfont=8pt,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] % This works somehow but with errors %\setuptyping[default][style=\eightpoint\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][style=\viii\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][bodyfont=viii,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][bodyfont=sixpoint,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] \starttext \typefile[default]{t.mkiv} \stoptext --- A part of the error message: --- !

So what is the CORRECT way how to select a specific font size for \setuptyping or \typefile? Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Indent after Float
by Andreas Harder 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, please consider the following example: \setupindenting[big,yes] \setupfloats[indentnext=yes] % default: no \def\TestFloatPlacement#1% {\input tufte \par \placefigure[#1,nonumber]{place=#1}{} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte \par} \page} \starttext \TestFloatPlacement{top} \TestFloatPlacement{bottom} \TestFloatPlacement{auto} \TestFloatPlacement{right} \stoptext Only "top" seems to give the right indenting. It worked (at least with "auto") a while ago. I have many floats placed "auto". So is there a quick fix? Greeting Andreas
