m-obsolete & mkii problem
by Mojca Miklavec 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Dear Hans, would it be possible to change the following line in m-obsolete.tex \writestatus\m!system{skipping obsolete module} so that it wouldn't generate errors (undefined m!system) when compiling with mkii? (I suspect that it is connected with bib module, but I'm not sure). Thanks a lot, Mojca

Page break between \title and \itemize
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hello, I used the following setup for title: \setuphead[title][style=\bfb,align=middle,after=\blank] Then, in the middle of the source code, I used: \title{A title} % Unwanted page break here! \startitemize \item ... \item ... \item ... \stopitemize But it happened that the title was placed to the bottom of a page and the item list appeared on the new page. When I removed "after=\blank" from the setup, the title and the item list got back to one page. So - the question: - Is there a parameter for \blank which would prohibit page break at the place of use? To affect the space after a head but to keep binding with the next element? BTW: There is an option "\blank[samepage]" but with a note "mkiv only?". So how - if - is this supposed to work with MKIV? Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing.

How to sort the reference by the cite sequence
by seasoul 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I want to list the cited reference in the publication list, and numbered by the citing sequence. so I use \setuppublications[alternative=num,criterium=cite,sorttype=cite] But it seems the sequence is the one in the bbl file. So i add one line to generate a bbl file by the citing sequence. \setupbibtex[database={blabla},sort=cite] This time, there is even no bbl file generated. How do i get my publication list to what I want: numbered by the citing sequence in the text?

Trouble with columns
by Alasdair McAndrew 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

I was setting up a test for my students, consisting of one page (A4 landscape), three columns. Each column consisted of a question, below which there was an empty frame in which to write the answer. The layout then was something like -- \startcolumns[n=3] \startitemize[n] \item First question \framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{} \column \item Second question \framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{} \column \item Third question \framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{} \stopitemize \stopcolumns -- All well and good - except! the second "\column" command pushed the third column onto a second page. However without that "\column", no matter what parameters I gave the page layout, the third question text would appear at the bottom of the second column. I ended up getting around this by putting a "\vskip3cm" in place of the second "\column". This worked, but seems like an ugly workaround. What's going on here - and what am I doing wrong?

\definepalet ignores transparency (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hi, the subject says it all. The question left is if this is a bug or a feature :-) Example: \starttext \definecolor[foo] [s=0,a=1,t=.5] \definepalet[bar] [foobar=foo] \blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm,color=foo] % transparent black \blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm,color=foobar] % pure black \stoptext Tested with ConTeXt beta from 26.01.2011. Sorry if this has been solved in the meantime. I still haven't found the time to adapt my 'specials'. Regards, Peter

LinearShade trouble
by Kumar Appaiah 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Dear ConTeXt list, I have been having troubles with LinearShade with ConTeXt for quite a while, even with the latest version. Steps to reproduce: There is a test.tex at the bottom of this e-mail: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580447#5 Copy paste it into the ConTeXt Live interface at the ConTeXt Garden. Result is blank. But what I expect (produced with an ancient version of ConTeXt, Debian version 2008.05.21-1): http://people.debian.org/~akumar/dump/test_expected.pdf Could you please let me know where things are going wrong? The mail has the log files attached. Thanks. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah
