xmldir (mtxrun still unpatched?)
by Andreas Harder 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Hi Hans, with the latest beta I still have to patch mtxrun to make xmldir work … Besides, the root-parameter (--root=some/path) don’t seem to have any impact. As an workaround I’m using \startmode[*first] \executesystemcommand {cd some/path && mtxrun --script tools --dirtoxml --pattern=*.pdf --output=some/path/xmldir.xml} \stopmode Thanks in advance Andreas

Two bibmod questions: first initials and points after question marks, etc. in reference list
by Renald Buter 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hello, I have a reference list in a bibtex file. For example, an entry such as this one: @article{hirsch_does_2007, title = {Does the h index have predictive power?}, volume = {104}, shorttitle = {Does the h index have predictive power?}, number = {49}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}, author = {Hirsch, J.E.}, month = dec, year = {2007}, pages = {19193--19198} }, Currently, this entry appears in my list of references as follows: Hirsch, J. (2007). Does the h index have predictive power?. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 104(49), 19193–19198. I have two questions: - Notice that only the first initial appears? How to get both/all initials? - There is a point after the question mark, which is ugly. The same would go for a title ending in a '!', btw. How to get rid of it? To be complete, here are my relevant settings: %%% Bibliography \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database={bibliography},sort=author] \setuppublications[ alternative=apa, % the default refcommand=authoryears, % e.g. (Buter 2010) sorttype=cite, % in order of citing criterium=chapter, % per chapter numbering=yes, % number the references ] \setuppublicationlist[ authoretallimit=10, artauthoretallimit=10, ] \setupcite[ pubsep=; ] The answer is probably straightforward, so I apologise in advance. With kind regards, Renald

transparency in latest beta (mlib)
by Peter Rolf 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hi, I just tested the latest beta (2011.10.19 00:02) and get some curious results for transparent colors. For example \nopdfcompression \setupcolors[state=start] % mkii works \startMPpage fill unitsquare scaled 100 withcolor transparent(1,.5,red); \stopMPpage gives me an opaque(!) and very dark red (r=.12,a=1,t=1). Can someone confirm this? Regards, Peter This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051907 (rev 4277)

Arranging: corruption of lists
by Willi Egger 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hello, I compiled a book with 353 pages... What I did: 1. compile the boek without arranging. This gives a correct TOC, correct lists of figures and tables. 2. compile the boek once with arranging enabled. This results in correct arrangement, however all lists are corrupted, wrong sorting and the page references are all wrong. I used: ConTeXt ver: 2011.10.19 00:02 MKIV fmt: 2011.10.19 int: english/english Willi

[m-chart] Connections
by Marco 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Hi, I cannot figure out how to connect to the bottom right point (the small red one). Anyway, in the manual the shortcuts to address the individual points are not really explained. I blindly guess: tm - top middle t - top middle bl - bottom left br - bottom right bm - bottom centre b - bottom centre … However, in the following example it doesn't work. Any ideas? %%%%%%%%%%%%% \usemodule [chart] \setupFLOWcharts [option=test] \startFLOWchart [mychart] \startFLOWcell \name {foo} \location {1,1} \shape {action} \text {Foo} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {bar} \location {1,2} \shape {action} \text {Bar} %\connection [tmbl] {foo} % left \connection [tmbr] {foo} % also left ?? \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \starttext \FLOWchart [mychart] \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%% Regards Marco Patzer

A special case: hiding section head information in the text but still keeping the TOC entry
by Willi Egger 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Hi all, I had to deal with a special case. In my document there are only sections and subsections. The section titles are placed in a different place than they naturally would occur according to the coding in the text. What I needed to do is to hide the section title, having no placeholder/white space inserted but still keeping the entry in the TOC. \setuphead [section] [placehead=hidden] \setuptexttexts[{\placerawheaddata[section]} The first setup hides the title completely and does not insert any whitespace. It causes on the other hand, that the TOC entry is also hidden/gone. With the second command the data are flushed and end up in the TOC. Thank you Hans for providing this solution! I edited the following page on the wiki and added also a short test. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chapters_headers#Chapter_headers Willi
