Hello Aditya, You're the witness ! I obtain the same document that you've obtained : look at the third page : the size of the document is smaller, the text doesn't flow correctly on this page. I've tried it on my document : no success. For Hans, the \page make me jump ton a new page but doesn't correct the problem. Thank you for your help, Pierre-François. -- Bonnefoi Pierre-Francois | E-mail : bonnefoi(a)unilim.fr Universite de Limoges, Laboratoire XLIM | Tel : 06 28 18 03 38 83, rue d'Isle | Mrs. Peel, we're needed... 87000 Limoges - FRANCE | The Avengers.

Error: \rootfloatparameter has an extra }
by zs 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hello, trying to recompile older work with recent context, strange error appeared: ! Argument of \rootfloatparameter has an extra }. I extracted minimal example, see below. It seems, it has something to do with position of first image. When the code is slightly changed (removing/adding x or image, font size change), compilation runs well. Similar error was reported few days ago (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg58816.html) but the patch has no effect here. ------- minimal example compiled with "context example.tex" -------- \starttext \setupbodyfont[rm,13pt] \subsection[]{x} \startitemize[] \item x \item x \item x \stopitemize \subsection{x} x x x x x \placefigure[][]{}{ \externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth] } x \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \subsection[]{S} x x \stoptext

I wonder why they are working. I have the reader 9.4.6 and no acrobat at all. Wolfgang

This is working ok with pdf > files and this has worked ok with context prior to the update. I have the following questions: The executable pdfdde, resp. their incarnations pdfopen and pdfclose know an option --rx. Is this necessary to use acrobat reader 10? pdfdde --help outputs: Beware: only documents opened by `pdfopen' can be closed by `pdfclose'. But if I open my compiled file manually (not by pdfopen), --autopdf works ok. It closes the reader and opens him with the new compiled file and so on. So, an initally open with pdfopen does not work! How is pdfopen/close working? Can someone explain? pdfdde seems to be based on ------------------- DDEOpen.c This file is furnished to you by Adobe Systems Incorporated under the terms of the Acrobat (r) Plug-ins Software Development Kit License Agreement.

I do not understand at all what has happend. 10 Minutes before my context-update, all was working ok. There must be a little difference. Wolfgang

\doifmode and friends
by Meer, H. van der 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

I find that "abc \doifmode{mode}{text} more text" can introduce extra whitespace. I conclude therefore that there is no \ignorespaces at work here. As a consequence the \doifmode does not completely disappear if mode is not satisfied. Is this intentional or should this behaviour be changed? Hans van der Meer

\cite with authornum and extras
by Stefan Müller 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hi, please consider the following example. \setupbibtex[database={sample}] \starttext \cite[alternative=authornum, extras={, p.\ 1}][Eijkhout1991] \cite[alternative=authoryear, extras={, p.\ 1}][Eijkhout1991] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext In the cite with "alternative=authornum" the "extras"-key seems to be ignored, I only get "Eijkhout [4]" while on the next line I get "Eijkhout (1991, p. 1)" with the page number as intended. What am I doing wrong? Also, if I comment the \placepublications line I get "Eijkhout [[error 2]]"... Thanks for any hints! Best regards, Stefan

Bibliography related questions
by Alexandre Krispin 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hello, I am trying to get references working with Context as well as it did with Biblatex. Since I didn't find anything helpful in the documentation and the mailing-list, I ask here. My setup at the moment is the following : \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=test] \setuppublications[alternative=apa-fr] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=darkgreen] - Can I get hyperlinks working with references in Context ? For example, with Biblatex with a citation and its reference, if I select the authoryear style, then I get : "my citation" (author year). And the reader can click on the year and be redirected to the reference in the bibliography. The year is a hyperlink. Can we get the same behaviour with Context ? - Also, I have tried to get the following pattern for my references : (author year, page number). It is the pattern of the Chicago manual of style (http://library.williams.edu/citing/styles/chicago2.php) To get this style, I have tried for example the following : \cite[extras={, p. 41}][guerrien2008theorie] But instead of the pattern (author year, page number), I get (author, year, page number). Can I remove the comma between author and year ? - Finally, is my setup wrong ? Indeed, with the setup I have copy-pasted above my bibliography remains empty. Sincerely, Alexandre Krispin

Finding Minion and Myriad
by john Culleton 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

These two fonts are in /usr/share/fonts/OTF. In that directory they are listed in fonts.dir. I want to use simplefonts to use Minion as the base font. I ran the various commands described in the Wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX and got the two fonts listed in the font database. I put the following in my MKIV context file: ... \usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module \setmainfont[minionproregular] % %\whitespace[line] \usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure] \setupalign[hanging] \setupbodyfont[minionproregular,14pt] ... Now I get a new error message: ------------------------- mtx-context.lua:675: attempt to call field 'locate_format' (a nil value) Any suggestions? -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Puhh, there is more broken. With letter style I got ! Undefined control sequence. l.13 \setupletterstyle [option][backaddress=yes] It is always a risk to update context (never change a running system). :-((( Wolfgang
