bib module cripples authors?
by Steffen Wolfrum 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Hi, an other issue with bib: already at the stage of running bibtex three or more authors are "shortened". See an easy example: \setupbibtex[database=mytry_x.bib] \starttext Test \completepublications \stoptext The referenced "mytry_x.bib" looks like this: @BOOK{daunerliebkonzenschmidt, author = {Peter Schlechtriem and Horst Konzen}, } @BOOK{schlechtriemschmidtkessel, author = {Peter Schlechtriem and Horst Konzen and Karsten Schmidt}, } And the resulting bbl lookes like this: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={SKS},totalnumber=2] \startpublication[k=daunerliebkonzenschmidt,t=book, a={{Schlechtriem},{Konzen}},y=, n=1,s=SK] \author[]{Peter}[P.]{}{Schlechtriem} \author[]{Horst}[H.]{}{Konzen} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=schlechtriemschmidtkessel,t=book, a={{Schlechtriem},{}},y=, n=2,s=SKS] \author[]{Peter}[P.]{}{Schlechtriem} \author[]{Horst}[H.]{}{Konzen} \author[]{Karsten}[K.]{}{Schmidt} \stoppublication Why is "a=" now {{Schlechtriem},{}} and not {{Schlechtriem},{Konzen},{Schmidt}} ??

bib module makes titles lowercase?
by Steffen Wolfrum 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi, maybe I just overlooked some very basic (german?) settings, but when I am running the bib module it rewrites entries of "title" in my bbi file to lowercase! See an example: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=mytry_x.bib] \starttext Test \completepublications \stoptext The referenced "mytry_x.bib" looks like this: @ARTICLE{altmeppendb20011399, author = {Holger Altmeppen}, gender = {sm}, title = {Untaugliche Regeln zum Vertrauensschaden und Erf¸llungsinteresse im Schuldrechtsmodernisierungsentwurf}, shorttitle = {DB 2001, 1399}, journal = {Der Betrieb}, year = {{\noopsort{2001a}}2001}, pages = {S.~1399 - 1405} } And the resulting bbl lookes like this: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={Alt01},totalnumber=1] \startpublication[k=altmeppendb20011399,t=article, a={{Altmeppen}},y=2001, n=1,s=Alt01] \artauthor[]{Holger}[H.]{}{Altmeppen} \pubyear{{\noopsort{2001a}}2001} \arttitle{Untaugliche regeln zum vertrauensschaden und erf¸llungsinteresse im schuldrechtsmodernisierungsentwurf} \journal{Der Betrieb} \pages{S.~1399 - 1405} \stoppublication Any ideas?? Thanks, Steffen

Get a list of all links to a \reference
by Cecil Westerhof 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

I am writing a document in which I describe several tables. In the document I link to those tables. Is it possible to generate a list with links to the places where there is a link to a table? I would like to go easily to the places where the table is used. -- Cecil Westerhof

Missing space between digit and unit with the new unit-command
by yoraxe 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hey, I was happy to have a new (and easier) unit-command, but now I miss the space that was between the digits and the unit in the unit-module. I attach the old (unit1) and new variant (unit2) with tex- and pdf-files. Do I type it in a wrong way or is it possible to fix this? Thanks, Yoraxe

Columns and figures in MKIV
by Jason Earl 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

I am trying to upgrade an existing document from using texexec and pdftex to context and luatex. Unfortunately, the document relies pretty heavily on columns (using \startcolumns[n=2,tolerant=verytolerant]) and the idea that figures that are too wide to place in a column float to the top of the next page. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case with the current minimals. The following example works fine for texexec (even if I comment out the \startpostponing \stoppostponing code). The figure is placed (centered) at the top of page 2. With MKIV, however, the figure stays in the first column and bleeds over into the second column (the postponing code does change it to the next page, but it doesn't force it out of the column). --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \enableregime[utf-8] \starttext \startcolumns \chapter[chap:testing]{Testing} \startcolumns[n=2, tolerant=verytolerant] \input knuth %\startpostponing \placefigure [center][fig:foo] {none} {\externalfigure[foo][] [width=1.5\textwidth]} %\stoppostponing \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \stopcolumns \stoptext--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I am using the Context minimal distribution (on Linux) and context reports that the current version as: current version: 2011.06.29 09:57 It is quite likely that I am simply doing this wrong, but I have read: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns and it appears to support what I am trying to do. I have experimented a bit with columnsets, but they appear to be overkill for my use. Then again, I am probably doing it wrong. Any advice would be appreciated. Jason Earl

changing numbers of columns
by Bernd Kosubek 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi, is it possible to change the number of columns on the same page? small example: a) text text text text \startcolumnset[n=2] bla bla bla \column bla bla bla \stopcolumn b) text text text text The mixing of a) and columnset is o.k. The mixing of columnset and b) wil produce a new page with b) on the second page, where b) can be normal text or another columnset. Bernd

footnotes, blank
by Thomas Schmitz 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi all, two questions here: 1. Is it possible to define a blank so that the paragraph after it will not be indented (in a document which otherwise does have indents)? I looked at \defineblank and the new \definevspacing, but couldn't find anything appropriate. 2. I want footnotes placed at the bottom of the page so that the vertical place is filled (so with a flexible vertical space between text and notes), but on the last page of every chapter, the publisher prefers the footnotes right below the text, not at the bottom of the page. Is this feasible? Thanks and all best Thomas

Using Luatex.
by John Culleton 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Been away for a while. Currently using luatex for lightly formatted documents. But I want to use Context for my next job (lots of formatting). How do I incorporate luatex and the fonts found by luatex in my Context file? And should I use MKII or MKIV? My luatex books are basically pdftex files with a few statements to get at fonts not included with TeX, e.g., \input luaotfload.sty \font\lll={CHOPS___.TTF} at 48bp \font\lk={CHOPS___.TTF} at 36bp \font\hl={CHOPS___.TTF} at 16bp \font\head={CHOPS___.TTF} at 26bp \font\lr pplr7t at 12bp \font\llr pplr7t at 14bp \font\rm pplr7t at 10bp \font\it pplri7t at 10bp \font\bf pplb7t at 10bp -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters Cover design, Indexing, Interior Layout
