Help with citation layout.
by Christian 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Dear list, I need the help of a BibTeX/citation module expert. I want to modify the appearance of @INBOOK entries. Currently they look like this (apa-de style): author (year) _booktitle_, Chapter chaptertitle, pages, publisher, edition. What I'm aming for is this: author (year) _chaptertitle_, In editor (Edt.): _booktitle_, pages, publisher, edition. Where chaptertitle refers to the title of the chapter (usually some sort of article or essay), very similar to arttitle. Is there a way to accomplish this? Or is the INBOOK entry not meant to do this? I'm especially having trouble to get the editor to show up (let alone having "In " in front of it). Does editor and author conflict here? Thank you for you help!

Dear all, I'm having a hard time to get context typeset arabic words with ligatures, or say, to some order>1 according to page 7 of: http://luatex.org/talks/print-orientaltex-eurotex-2009.pdf. I'm using: ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.15 int: english/english I've put up this minimal example where the font used is amiri from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amiri/files/ and more precisely amiri-regular.ttf therein. Any hint as to what I should do to get (at least the lam-alef ligature)? Thank you for your help, Olivier %%%%%%%%%% minimal %%%%%%%%%%%% \mainlanguage[arabic] \definefontfeature [arabicfeats] [analyze=yes,mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab, ccmp=yes,init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes, liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,tlig=yes,clig=yes, calt=yes,salt=yes,aalt=yes, trep=yes,ccmp=yes, mark=yes,mkmk=yes, kern=yes,curs=yes, aalt=yes,mset=yes] \definefont[ArabicFont][amiriregular*arabicfeats at 24pt] \def\ArabicGlobalDir {\pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT\pardir TRT\textdir TRT} \define\setarabic {\ArabicGlobalDir% \ArabicFont} \starttext {\setarabic لا في } \stoptext \end

Is textbackground broken in mkiv? I need its usage (it seems the recommended way to do backgrounds). The following minimal example fails. Who is wrong? Is it me or is it ConTeXt?

Hi Hans, quite often I wish we could have a kind of in line comment: Something like ¿this is my comment¡ this. I assume it is not trivial due to catcode issues, to say the least. But nevertheless, as it is getting close to christmas, I just wanted to mention this idea here. Thanks, Steffen

User macros and settings: environment or style module?
by Romain Diss 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi all, Like any of the context users who write documents, I use some personal macros, definitions, setups... In most of the context manuals, it is recommended to declare all of these personal settings in an environment file. This file is then included by: \environment myStyle However, in certain case, these settings goes in a style module file, like what is done for MyWay articles where one includes the style file with: \usemodule[myStyle] So my question is: Is there any technical reason to choose between those two possibilities or is it only a matter of personal preference? All the best. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Rotate text in TABLE-header
by Christian 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Dear list, is there an easy option to rotate all text (not the table itself) in the first row of a TABLE? something like this: \bTABLE \bTR[rotate=90] \bTD I am flipped \eTD \bTD Me too. \eTD \bTD Same here! \eTD \eTR \eTABLE That would be super useful, but I didn't find anything.

Hey folks, The second \footnote doesn't show in the generated PDF. The number is listed where it should at the end of the sentence, but the text of the footnote is not listed at the bottom of the page. \definestartstop [SomeDocument] [before={ \crlf \setupbackground[frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, leftoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm, bottomoffset=0.5cm] \startbackground }, after={ \stopbackground \crlf }, commands={\setupalign[yes]}, style=italic] \starttext First footnote.\footnote{This one works.} \startSomeDocument Second footnote.\footnote{This one doesn't.} \stopSomeDocument \stoptext Thanks anyone. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Quotations...
by Willi Egger 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi, it looks like there is something wrong with \quote, \quotation and the respective setupcommands. \setupquote[style=slanted] results in no quotation marks and yes, slanted text. \setupquote[left=(,right=)] results in text between parentheses. \setupquote[style=slanted,left=(,right=)] results in slanted text, but no parentheses. \setupquotation[style=bold] results in having the texts in \quote{} becoming bold instead of the texts that are in \quotation{}. \setupdelimitedtext [quotation][1][style=bold] does not result in bold text. \setupdelimitedtext [quotation][1][style=bold,left{[},right={]}] does result in text between brackets in \quotation{}, but no bold text. Please refer to the attached example file. Kind regards Willi
