Hello, I'm receiving errors when compiling the following code (although a .pdf is created): --- \starttext \placecontent \section{AAA \nolist{aaa}} \stoptext --- Error message: --- structure : section @ level 3 : 0.0.1 -> AAA \nolist {aaa} !

interactive chapter titles in margin
by Thomas Schmitz 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, for my document setup, I would like to have interactive chapter headings, and I want the chapter titles in the margins only; they should not interfere with normal indentation, spacing, etc. So far, I haven't really found a solution. Here's a small example (with some code from the wiki): \defineinmargin [ChapterInMargin] [outer] [normal] [distance=0.3em] \setuphead[chapter][style=bold, number=no, expansion=yes, alternative=text, distance=0pt, indentnext=yes, before={\blank[0pt]}, after={\blank[0pt]}, command=\MyChapter, page=no] \def\MyChapter#1#2{\ChapterInMargin{#2}} \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter][all][force=yes] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \starttext \startchapter[title=One,bookmark=One] \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Two,bookmark=Two] \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Three,bookmark=Three] \dorecurse{5}{\input bryson} \stopchapter \stoptext Can anybody provide an idea what to do? THanks! All best Thomas

itemgroup broken
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 Dec '10

Hi, is "\setupitemgroup" broken in current beta? Or did the syntax change? I am missing "symbol", "left", "right", "stopper". They don't seem to work. See example below, please. Thanks, Steffen ----- \defineitemgroup [NumberBracket] \setupitemgroup [NumberBracket] [symbol=2, left={(}, right={)}, stopper=x, itemalign=flushleft] \starttext \startNumberBracket[1] \item foo \item foo \item foo \item foo \item foo \stopNumberBracket \stoptext

bib problems
by Thomas A. Schmitz 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, the last days have brought a couple of bug reports on bibliographies in ConTeXt. I will try and create a number of examples so Hans can test and debug. In order to facilitate the creation of minimal examples for all users, we have a couple of suggestions: 1. There is now a dedicated page for bibliography support on the wiki; unsurprisingly, it's at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliographies. For the time being, this page is just a skeleton; you are all invited to contribute. 2. The page contains a link to a sample bib file. This file will be part of the main distribution (and hence of the minimals) under context/tex/texmf-context/bibtex/bib/sample.bib. I will send this file to Hans. At the same time, it is meant as a bibliography for ConTeXt related publications. So if you build minimal examples, please try with this file first. If the error you are reporting is triggered by a certain publication type which is not yet represented in the sample file, please modify the file on your disk, but *remember to add these modifications to the file on the wiki* (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/sample_bib) and drop me a line! If you want to add further ConTeXt related publications, feel free to do so! I will send Hans and Mojca updated versions of this file which I'll pick up on the wiki. 3. As you know, priority in development is given to mkiv. The bib module for mkii was written by Taco, and as far as I understood him, it is quite unlikely that he will have the time to do extensive work on it. Later today, I will try and coordinate the bug reports I can still find in an example. Please add your reports as well. All best Thomas

Help! There is an error with \registerparoptions. Of course, I have not (yet) come up with a minimal example as this depends on some condition that not obvious. Looking into the code here (in anch- pos.mkiv?) does not get me any further. ! Extra \else. \registerparoptions ...gisterparoptions \fi \else \dodoregisterparoptions \f... <everypar> ...stponedbookmark \registerparoptions \flushsyncpositions \flush... <to be read again> \hskip \fixedspace ...malhbox {\mathortext {0}{0}}\hskip \wd \scratchbox \relax \ejectdummypage ...vmode \ejectinsert \fixedspace \vfill \gotonextpage \fi \executepagebreakhandler ...cification \endcsname \else \ifcsname \??pe :: \@... ... I can work harder at stripping my code down to a minimally broken example if this be necessary in order to debug... Please let me know. Alan
