List of all bibliography items is empty in mkiv
by Nicola 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi, the following code results in an empty output when typeset by MKIV on my system: \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[criterium=all] \setupbibtex[database=mypublications] \starttext \placepublications \stoptext \end The same code typeset with MKII produces the list of all bibliography items in the .bib file, as expected. Is it a bug or is MKIV different in some respect? If it is a bug, is there a workaround? What I use: ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKII ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.1-2010042810 Below you find the log file.

unicode no-break spaces
by Peter Münster 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hello, This used to work with MKIV, but with today's version, it does not: \starttext X X THIN SPACE (U+2009)\blank X X NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE (U+202F)\blank X X NO-BREAK SPACE (U+00A0)\blank \stoptext Should this work, or should we rather use "~" and "\," as in the past? Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

I have found another problem which is probably related. In the same sort of arrangement, two columns with margins on either side, I would like to place floats like this: 1. If they appear on the left side, they should end at the right edge of the left column. 2. If they appear on the right side, they should begin at the left edge of the right column. Using \placetable[inmargin] (my best guess), this works fine for case (2), but case (1) begins at the left edge of the left column and can overprint the right column.

Unnumbered titles in table of contents
by Tom 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

I modified the sample code for creating unnumbered table of contents entries to include a title page for the appendices. It does create the unnumbered appendices entry as desired, but increments the "chapter number" to B for the first appendix "chapter." How does one accomplish this without this unwanted incrementing? Also, is it possible to have the unnumbered entries align with the chapter titles rather than the chapter numbers? \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead [intro] [number=no] \definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section] \setuplist [intro] [headnumber=no] \starttext \completecontent \startfrontmatter \intro{Preface} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Text of the Book} \stopbodymatter \startappendices \intro{Appendices} \chapter{Supporting Data} \stopappendices \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

Metapost: union test of two paths
by Marco 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

Hi, two arbitrary paths are given. A small path and a larger path, both cycled. How to find out if the smaller path lies completely »inside« the larger path? If this is too complicated, it might help if I can find out if a given point lies inside a given cycled path. I hope it's understandable what I want to achieve. Marco

Setuparranging[XY] and arrangement of labels
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

Hello all, I have a reason to print labels to page in "vertical mode". This means, that labels are place to page underneath first and then abreast (ie top to bottom first and then subsequently left to rigth). According to the example of the way they are now labels numbered : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 but I want to be numbered: 1 6 11 2 7 12 3 8 13 4 9 14 5 10 15 Exist any simple way in \setuparranging [XY] mode (not in columns mode) for this? If it will not somehow just does not matter. Otherwise I'll do sort of data that I print to the labels (but otherwise I find it quite helpful as I could keep my original gear mechanism). Thanx Jaroslav Here is my minimal example: \newdimen\labelwidth\labelwidth=30mm \newdimen\labelheight\labelheight=20mm \newdimen\disthor\disthor=1mm \newdimen\distvert\distvert=1mm \newcount\counthor\counthor=5 \newcount\countvert\countvert=10 \definepapersize[label][width=\labelwidth,height=\labelheight] \setuppapersize [label][A4] \definemeasure[topspace] [\dimexpr(\printpaperheight-(\labelheight + \distvert)*\countvert+\distvert)/2\relax] \definemeasure[backspace] [\dimexpr(\printpaperwidth-(\labelwidth + \disthor)*\counthor+\disthor)/2\relax] \setuppaper [topspace=\measure{topspace},backspace=\measure{backspace},dx=\disthor,dy=\distvert,nx=\counthor,ny=\countvert] \setuplayout [page] [topspace=\measure{topspace},backspace=\measure{backspace}] \setuplayout [page] \setuplayout [location=middle] \setuparranging [XY] \showframe[edge] \starttext \dorecurse{50}{{\recurselevel\page}} \stoptext

Shaded frame with colored text
by Tom 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

I haven't had any luck filling in the background of a frame with any color other than black and with changing the color of the text in the frame to white or gray. What needs to be added to this mkii code? \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=on,align=middle] {\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}} \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyChapterCommand,textstyle=\ss\bf, header=empty,footer=chapter, numbercommand=\ss\bf\em\tfd,after=\vskip 0.5in,before=\vskip 1.0in] \starttext \chapter{Test Chapter} \input knuth \stoptext Thanks, Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

"Large paper" dimensions detecting
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hi All Is there a way to detect of paperheight and paperwidth of "large paper", when I print a "small page" to "large paper" ?? When I use \paperwidth and \paperheight commands, then I get dimensions of "small paper", but I want get dimensions of "large papers" too. (I need this dimensions for next calculations) Thanx, Jaroslav My min. example: \definepapersize[MyPap][width=300pt,height=200pt] \definepapersize[MyPaper][width=1000pt,height=500pt] \setuppapersize [MyPap][MyPaper] \starttext Small paper dimensions: MyPap paper width - \the\paperwidth MyPap paper height - \the\paperheight \blank[big] Large paper dimensions: MyPaper paper width - ????? %\the\commandforMyPaperwidthdetect MyPaper paper height - ???? %\the\commandforMyPaperheightdetect \stoptext
