Hi, Could anyone please explain what \startmakeup do (and similar commands)? I suspect that commands like this are often used for creating title pages. But have now idea what they do. When given explanation, I want to wikify it. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/startmakeup Regards, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] Multiple citations at one position

Thank you for the fast responses. > Did you try "\cite[ref1,ref3,... ref9]" ? Yes, I did try this, but instead of "[1,2,3]" or "[1-3]" I just got "[1]". > Yes, it is OK. I am using in MKIV for multiple citation > \cite[ref1,ref3,... ref9] > Last delimiter is setting due commands \setupcite, for example > default setting (for num style) is \setupcite[num][lastpubsep={ and }] > I am using \setupcite[num][lastpubsep={,\,}] ... > > More informations about using bib module (\usemodule[bib] > \usemodule[bibltx]) is in Taco's document on: > http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/context/bib/bibmod- > doc.pdf > > Jaroslav I tried what you suggested, but without success. I'm using MkIV. My test case is: "\usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={test.bib}, sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=ams] \setupcite[num][lastpubsep={,\,}] \starttext \section{Section} \cite[ref1, ref2, ref3] \completepublications \stoptext" With this example tex-file I only get "[1]". Strangely: If I remove either the \section or the \completepublications command I get "[]"... Any ideas what causes this? Stefan

protcode again
by John Culleton 22 May '10

The following code works with mkii but not with mkiv: \usetypescript[times][texnansi] \usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure] \setupalign[hanging] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] \setuphead[chapter][page=right] I substituted "termes" for "times" in both places but it still works under mkii (texexec) but not mkiv (context). I'll proceed with mkii for the current project but long term I expect difficulties. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

ucgreek=normal as default
by Mikael Persson 21 May '10

Dear list and Hans, I recently realized that by default capital greek letters are italic. I believe that the default should be "normal", i.e. upright. %%% Test file %\setupmathematics[ucgreek=normal] % comment out to get nice upright greek captial letters :) \starttext $\Theta$ \stoptext %%% End test file What do others think? Best regards, Mikael

feauture request - no numbers on blank pages at chapter's end
by Piotr Kopszak 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hello list, I don't know if it is only an idiosyncrasy of Polish typography but if a chapter ends with a blank page it should not display its number. It would be very useful if this could be an option (if not a default behaviour) of \setuppagenumbering . It's not a huge problem and I think I will not wait for a solution before sending my next book for printing, but it would be nice if it appeared in the future. Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Hi all, what is wrong with the following example? I would expect "Erstes Kapitel" etc. instead of "Kapitel Eins" in the bookmarks. Further "Inhaltsverzeichnis" don‘t appear in the bookmarks. \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[all] \starttext \starttitle[title=Inhaltsverzeichnis,bookmark=Inhaltsverzeichnis] \placecombinedlist[content] \stoptitle \startchapter[title=Kapitel Eins,bookmark=Erstes Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Kapitel Zwei,bookmark=Zweites Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Kapitel Drei,bookmark=Drittes Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext Thanks in advance Andreas

Lua and metapost
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hi all, Since ConTeXt has LuaTeX and it contains Lua interpreter so I wonder if it is possible to write Lua code which can generate Metapost code for graphics. MetaLua can also help here. However, I do not know how to develop a Lua library which can be integrated with ConTeXt but then again I have not looked in this matter. As you people may be knowing Prof. John Hobby has written a Haskell frontend for Metapost which generates Metapost code. Having a Lua version of same will help a lot. My only concern is using MetaLua with ConTeXt. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal
