Graphics in text-line
by Robert Blackstone 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

Dear list, Would it be possible to insert a tiny graphic, not larger than a capital M, into a textline? I am presently making a bilingual version of a sixteenth century French musical treatise, and I would like to copy as much as possible the typographic features of the original in the modern version, both French and a translation. In the original French edition some text lines contain musical symbols, not only the sharp, flat and natural characters but also some others, of which I can make graphics (png or pdf). I can place these praphics in the margin and even in a footnote (although with rather too much space above it) but I would prefer to have them in their text line. Is that doable? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

strange behavior with apa and apa-fr bibliographic styles
by Alexandre Krispin 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

Hello, I have noticed that, for a reason I don't understand, dots after dates in the bibliography are not placed in the same manner. For example, I get (copy-paste from pdf) : Morales, I. (1997) . The mexican crisis and the weakness of the NAFTA consensus. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 550 :130-152. Morales, I.(1999). NAFTA : The governance of economic openness. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 565 :35-65. Robey, J. S. (1999) . Civil society and NAFTA : Initial results. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 565 :113-125. Totman, C. (1980) . From Sakoku to Kaikoku. The Transformation of Forei- gn-Policy Attitudes, 1853-1868. Monumenta Nipponica, 35(1) :1-19. So for the first entry, the point after (1997) is placed after a space, whereas it is not the case for the second entry (there is also no space between I. and (1999)). In some cases (when I add more entries), I even have the point before the parenthesis, though the bib file might be right (or in any cases, since the field are completed in the same manner, I didn't expected different behaviors in the result since it is automatized and all fields are articles). Here is the bib file : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @article{conrad1980transformation, author = "Conrad Totman", title = "From {S}akoku to {K}aikoku. {T}he {T}ransformation of {F}oreign-{P}olicy {A}ttitudes, 1853-1868", journal = "Monumenta Nipponica", year = 1980, volume = 35, number = 1, pages = "1-19", publisher = "Sophia University", url = "http://www.jstor.org/stable/2384397", } @article{robey1999civil, author = "John S.

Point 3, yes, but I'm dubious about space after ° for the temperature units °C or °F as it breaks the rule about unit ambiguity ("° C" is a degree-Coulomb -- although I can't image a physical situation that would need such a unit). Point 4 is a bit beyond the scope of the SI units scheme but sounds like a potential need. Over the weekend I've discovered a couple more problems with \unit so I'll make up some test cases and desired output and post it in a few days. Robin

The problem now is that the footnote sits inside of textbackground boxes at the bottom of them. I'd like them instead at the bottom of the page with the rest of my footnotes.

captions trouble
by Meer, H. van der 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Something seems amiss in the code below. The idea is having in general figures with numbered labels, but now and then a figure without. First I thought to use [location=none] on the placement, but then the numbering is not interrupted: label-1 (label-2 invisible), label-3. That is disturbing to the reader who will think a figure is missing. The numbering and the label are suppressed by \setupcations[number=no] and reinstated with \setupcaptions[number=yes]. But this kills the space between the label and the caption. I enclose a minimal example that shows the effect. Could this be a bug? \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \starttext \placefigure[][fig:1]{label with space}{\externalfigure[arrows.pdf]} \setupcaptions[number=no] \placefigure{}{\externalfigure[arrows.pdf]} \setupcaptions[number=yes] \placefigure[][fig:3]{label without space}{\externalfigure[arrows.pdf]} \stoptext Hans van der Meer

Feature request: criterium=component
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Dear inner circle, I have two components, each a book in its own right, and each with multiple \part's, \chapter's, \section's etc. Through products and components I have all crossreferences between the two books set up, thanks to the mechanisms put in place this fall by Hans. I compile both components through the product file. Problem: I cannot separate the list of Tables in component~1 from those in component~2. So a list of Tables in component~1 contains the tables in component~ and vice versa. For TOC I was able to get around this by defining, for component~2, mirror section heads with different names but identical functionality to those in component~1. But for tables I have not been able to get this work-around to work: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111124.203204.79333c77.en.html So, in any case, it sames that adding a criterium=component option would be the most user-friendly way to handle this kind of case. Is it feasible?

Change the gap between image and caption
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hello ConTeXt folks. Is it possible to adjust the size of the gap between the lower edge of the picture and its caption in simple externalfigure command? By experimenting I found that this gap can be set in a floating environment (placefigure) using "inbetween" parameter. Is there possibilities do gap somehow larger or smaller in externalfigure environment? See minimal example. Thanx Jaroslav \starttext \setupcaptions[number=no,style=\ssxx,inbetween={\blank[1cm]}] \setupfloats[spacebefore=none, spaceafter=none] % \input tufte \placefigure[here]{Here is farther caption} {\externalfigure[mill][type=jpg,metod=jpg,width=5cm,frame=on]} \input tufte \page \startTEXpage \startcombination[3*1] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on]}{This caption has to be more distanced.} {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on]}{This title has yet to be more distanced.} {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on]}{This label is to be closer to figure.} \stopcombination \stopTEXpage \stoptext
