[NTG-context] How to retreive the bibentry number and use it somewhere?
by seasoul 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi, I sorted the reference by the squence they appear in the text. I want to retreive a bibentry number, but use it at other places. I try to use \onlinecite, this number is the same as \cite[xxx]. Its number will become smaller if I put it before where I cite it. Can I get the absolute number of the bibentry, which means, this number will not change when I use it somewhere?

synonyms/abbreviations and style setup question
by Julian Becker 09 May '11

09 May '11

I'm guessing that I have not yet understood how to use abbreviations/synonyms correctly, but why does it make a difference if I call the synonyms "abbreviations" or "tests"? That is why do the following two files produce different results on my PC (Windows 7, context version 2011.02.09 16:42)? In the first case I get the abbreviation in capitals, in the second case, no capitals. What would I have to do to get small capitals? I tried "style=smallcaps", but that only gave me capitals all of the same height, and no small capitals. fileone.tex: %---------------------- \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull] \setupsynonyms[abbreviation][criterium=all,style=cap] \abbreviation{ABR}{An Abbreviation} \starttext Here goes \infull{ABR}. \placelistofabbreviations \stoptext %---------------------- filetwo.tex: \definesynonyms[test][tests][\infull] \setupsynonyms[test][criterium=all,style=cap] \test{ABR}{An Abbreviation} \starttext Here goes \infull{ABR}. \placelistoftests \stoptext Best regards, Julian

[ctx] s-mod fails with self-referential modules
by Philipp Gesang 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi all, there’s an issue with s-mod. Consider a test module “t-Test.mkiv”: ··8<····························································· \startmodule [Test] \unprotect %M \usemodule[Test] % <-- calling itself in docstring \startinterface all \setinterfacevariable {Test} {testvariable} \stopinterface %D Reserving a namespace. \definenamespace [\v!Test] [ type=module, name=\v!Test, parent=\v!Test, setup=\v!list, ] \protect \stopmodule \endinput ··8<····························································· This fails if processed with “context --ctx=s-mod”, although the actual module code is fine. (Appears to be a common problem, for instance t-fancybreak, t-rst, and possibly others are affected.) Philipp

[t-rst] inclusion into Minimals, i. e. installation using `./first-setup.sh --extras='t-rst'`
by Paul Menzel 09 May '11

09 May '11

Dear Philipp and ConTeXt folks, what needs to be done, that the module t-rst [1] can be installed using the following command. $ ./first-setup.sh --extras="t-rst" (I. e. how can this module be included into the ConTeXt Minimals distribution?) Thanks, Paul [1] https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-rst

mtxrun fails after update to ubuntu 11.04
by S Barmeier 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi, After updating my system to ubuntu 11.04, all sorts of access permissions seem to have changed. In particular, when compiling any ConTeXt document, I get oad otf > loading: /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmono8-regular.otf (hash: lmmono8-regular) load otf > font loaded okay load otf > file size: 66268 load otf > enhancing ... load otf > saving in cache: /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmono8-regular.otf report | lua: compiling /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/fonts/otf/lmmono8-regular.tma into /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/fonts/otf/lmmono8-regular.tmctexluac: cannot open /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/fonts/otf/lmmono8-regular.tma: No such file or directory luac: cannot open /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/fonts/otf/lmmono8-regular.tma: No such file or directory Trying to mtxrun --script fonts --reload, it tells me MTXrun | resolvers: unable to save 'files' in '/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/trees/1240e363db2f4c53de58379d2b0c6f6b.lua' (access error) MTXrun | fontnames: unable to access database cache MTXrun | fontnames: accessing the data table failed and similar errors. I've tried sudo mtxrun [...], but then the command is not found. I hope the problem will be resolved by changing folder permissions, but I'm not sure which folders are affected and which I should refrain from changing. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you, Severin

Some Ethiopic examples (hyphenation/breaking) in ConTeXt
by Mojca Miklavec 08 May '11

08 May '11

Dear Hans, We were originally preparing the example for XeTeX (which behaves very weird anyway) and I would like to know how to typeset Ethiopic text in ConTeXt. The basic requirements are: - Words may be split after any character (character = syllable; it's in the range "1200-"139F), but not before word/sentence dividers. (We have hyphenation patterns, but one could just as well use some other mechanism to break.) - "1361 and "1362 are word dividers and sentence dividers. - One doesn't use spaces when writing. - In output one should get something like space (approximately the same width) before and something like space after word/sentence divider, except that the "space" before divider should not be breakable; I highly suspect that the amount of space before/after dividers depends on the font being used, but I may be wrong. - Text should be nicely justified (I wonder if microtypography would also help). I'm attaching a sample text that does approximately what I expect it to do, but I would like to avoid active characters, make the space before and after divider of equal size and I'm not sure what is the most appropriate approach in ConTeXt. The example also leaves a bit too much whitespace after dividers that end the line. Here's the font used in the example: http://scripts.sil.org/AbyssinicaSIL_Download Thanks a lot, Mojca PS: In char-def.lua see [0x1361]={ category="po", description="ETHIOPIC WORDSPACE", direction="l", linebreak="ba", unicodeslot=0x1361, }, where linebreak="ba" means "break after" or "allow break after this character". But I guess that ConTeXt ignores those meanings at the moment.

Annotation and background color
by Otared Kavian 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi Wolfgang, Following up one of the recent threads about your annotation module, I made some experiments and found it a wonderful and extremely useful module. Out of curiosity, I wanted to know whether there is a key to set a background color for an annotation (as it is possible to use headcolor=darkred, or textcolor=darkgray, for instance). Also I didn't get the difference between textcolor=darkgray and color=darkgray: are they the same? The example I was testing is below. Best regards: OK \usemodule[annotation] \define[2]\MyQuotationCommand {\textrule{#1}#2\textrule} \defineannotation[MyQuotation] [alternative=command, command=\MyQuotationCommand, text=Quotation , number=yes, headcolor=darkred, color=darkgray, % textcolor=darkgray, ] \starttext \startMyQuotation{Peter D. Ward} \input ward.tex \stopMyQuotation \startMyQuotation{Donald Knuth} \input knuth \stopMyQuotation \MyQuotation{Wolfgang Schster}{The annotation module is wonderful!} \stoptext
