Undesired indent in enumerations (mk4)
by Matthias Weber 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Dear all, when I have an enumeration with empty text (i.e. text={},), mk4 produces undesired indenting. mk2 works ok. Here a minimal example: \setupbodyfont [10pt] \defineenumeration [exercise] [before=\blank, after=\blank, way=bysection, text={}, start=1, location=hanging, letter=rm] \starttext \section{Addition} \startexercise $1+1=?$ \stopexercise \stoptext

Example markup
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 12 Feb '10

Hello, There are examples (usually one paragraph long) in my lecture text, and I want them to be typeset in smaller font (\tfx). An excerpt: The entities in question fall into two broad categories: {\em endogenous} (intrinsic to the SUI itself) and {\em exogenous} (belonging to a system's environment). \example{All processes that take place inside Earth (and other planets) are considered endogenous. These processes make the continents migrate, push the mountains up, trigger earthquakes and volcanism, and are driven by the warmth that is produced in the core of Earth.} More text... I hesitate about how to define \example. I know about \definedescription and \defineenumeration, but they seem not much logically suitable to me. What could you advise? Regards, Vyatcheslav

bib: authornum
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi, sorry if this is yet another bib question: the "authornum" cite style is a recent addition. It doesn't accept all the setup functions that other styles (such as "authornum") do. The one thing I miss most ATM is the "andtext" option between a publication with several authors. It takes the form Author1,Author2 (just a comma, no space; this can be configured in authornum). I tried adapting the code in bibl-tra.mkiv l. 1506-1515, but failed miserably. Would it be possible to add the configurable andtext to authornum? Thanks, and best Thomas

Thank you, Hraban. I've already solved my problems with Lilypond guitar tab notation. ) And you are right, it's easy to include LilyPond's PDFs as externalfigure. Vyatcheslav

My opinion is, that it should be 0x2247 (the whole glyph scored out), because that would be the clear negation of the sign (similar to what \not\cong should do). Maybe provide another command for 0x2246? \congneq or \simneq for example. And many thanks for fixing this. Stefan

[bib] getting full author(s)'s name(s)
by Philipp Gesang 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Good evening, how do I retrieve an author's (or editor's) full name in the correct order (little endian: first name(s) -- surname) from a bib entry? I can do stuff like \getcitedata[author1] but that does leave me with only one of many. I'm convinced the answer lies somewhere hidden in bibl-tra.mkiv inside \complexbibdef and particularly \specialbibinsert but I can't grasp the relevant part (getting the list) of it. Thanks very much, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

[translation] Context, an excursion
by Sebastien Mengin 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi, More than a year ago, I started to participate to the translation project of the context for the beginers guide: ConTeXt, an excursion. For some reasons, I had to stop this. Now, I'd like to try again. Is this doc still accurate? I mean, does it worth to work on its translation or should I wait for another version? Thanks, -- Sébastien Mengin Édition et logiciels libres < Mise en page avec LaTeX > http://edilibre.net

some math symbols not working
by Warrence 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi, I was trying some math symbols and stumbled over the following commands, that do not work in my context documents (the comments say what's not working exactly). The pasted document works at http://live.contextgarden.net/ . I'm using the latest context-minimals as provided on the website. Is this a MkIV issue? In addition: \ncong is not aligned with = and \cong Thanks in advance! Stefan \starttext \startformula % the following give "Undefined control sequence": \gneq % \lneq works \lhd \rhd \unlhd \unrhd \Diamond % the following produce no symbol: \mapsto \hookleftarrow \longleftarrow \Longleftarrow \longrightarrow \Longrightarrow \longleftrightarrow \Longleftrightarrow \longmapsto \hookrightarrow \Join \blacksquare \bowtie \models \ncong % \cong produces the wrong symbol: it shows a dot on top of a plus, but there should be a ~ on top of = \cong \stopformula \stoptext

indent lost after \placefigure
by Tom 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

When I place a figure at the bottom of a page, everything is fine if it splits a paragraph, but if it falls between paragraphs, indentation of at least one of the paragraphs, generally the one coming after the figure, is lost. It appears that this has been a problem for some people over the years. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey
