Citations fail when components and bodymatter are used
by Marco 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi! Citations don't work when components are present in a bodymatter. The presence of a component breaks the citations. Tested with versions: MkIV, 2011.11.29 23:11 MkIV, 2012.01.16 18:33 Regards Marco Example: %%%%%%%%%%%%%% % report.bbl % %%%%%%%%%%%%%% \startpublication [ k=updatedmediasense, a=Victor Kardeby, t=inproceedings, ] \arttitle {The Updated MediaSense Framework} \author {Victor}[V.]{}{Kardeby} \author {Stefan}[S.]{}{Forsström} \author {Jamie}[J.]{}{Walters} \title {Fifth International Conference on Digital Telecommunications} \pubyear {2010} \organization {Mid Sweden University} \stoppublication %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % component.tex % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \startcomponent component Content not relevant \stopcomponent %%%%%%%%%%%%%% % report.tex % %%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext % works if start/stopbodymatter is commented out \startbodymatter From product: \cite[updatedmediasense] % works if \component is commented out \component component \stopbodymatter \placepublications [criterium=all] \stoptext

19 Jan '12

The labeling for first level enumerations using \startitemize[n] \item Foo \item Bar \stopitemize yields 1. Foo 2. Bar What is the preferred method for changing enumeration symbols from 1. and 2. to 1) and 2), respectively? I also want to be able to do something similar for second, third, and fourth level enumerations. Thanks, Troy Henderson

MKIV only installation of the suite
by Romain Diss 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi, Is there any way to install a MKIV only context suite (with no file used only for MKII). I know there is a --engine=luatex option for the first-setup.sh script but it doesn't prevent from installing MKII files. All the best -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

separate publication lists for different publication types
by Eidenbenz Michael 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

hi all, is it possible to have separate publication lists for different publication types? eg. one list for the book, booklet, inbooks, manuals and the other list for article, conference, periodicals? I tried to define two different bibliography style files for each list, where I defined \setuppublicationlayout just for the desired types, but this doesn't work. either it gives me a blank line for an undefined record type or it takes the definition from somewhere else. thanks, michael

Problem with "location=left" (at least) of setlayer
by Cedric Mauclair 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi Hans, hi list, The following example shouts at me (something about "\syst_boxes_with_next_box", "\pack_layers..." and a bunch of other stuff) if I uncomment the "location=left" part ("right" and others are fine): % Example below \definelayer[page][x=0pt, y=0pt] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=page] \starttext %% \setlayer[page][location=left]{It doesn't work} \setlayer[page][location=rightbottom]{It works!} \input knuth \stoptext Best regards. -- Cédric

xtable formatting issues
by Brian Landy 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, I’ve been experimenting a bit with converting some natural tables into xtables and ran across two issues. The first has to do with nested xtables and settings. In particular, if you attempt to set a cell’s width on the internal table using \setupxtable the option is lost. In the below example testtable1 doesn’t format properly when nested; testtable2 does. I also included some font and color examples to show they cascade more as I’d expect (the outer table’s settings are used unless overridden by the inner table). The second thing I noticed is that attempting to set the font via foregroundstyle only works when done vie \setupxtable. Attempting to assign this directly to the cell causes compile errors (the commented table in the example). Maybe I should be setting the font some other way? (this is how I always did it with natural tables). Finally, does xtable have something like the aligncharacter mechanism in natural tables? Thanks, Brian \starttext \setupxtable[wd1][background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow,width=1.0in] \setupxtable[wd2][background=color,backgroundcolor=green,width=2.0in] \setupxtable[fnit][foregroundstyle={\switchtobodyfont[modern,ss]\it}] \setupxtable[fnbf][foregroundstyle={\switchtobodyfont[modern,ss]\bf}] \startbuffer[testtable1] \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell[fnbf] bold \stopxcell \startxcell[wd1] 1in? \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stopbuffer \startbuffer[testtable2] \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell[fnbf] bold \stopxcell \startxcell[background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow,width=1.0in] 1in? \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stopbuffer \getbuffer[testtable1] \getbuffer[testtable2] \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell[fnit] \getbuffer[testtable1] \stopxcell \startxcell[wd2] \getbuffer[testtable1] \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[fnit] \getbuffer[testtable2] \stopxcell \startxcell[wd2] \getbuffer[testtable2] \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable % below fails, foregroundstyle set in this fashion must be done through \setuptable %\startxtable %\startxrow \startxcell[foregroundstyle={\switchtobodyfont[modern,rm]\it}] italic \stopxcell \stopxrow %\stopxtable \stoptext

Questions on \definition
by Kip Warner 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hey list, A couple of questions concerning \definition: (1) What is the difference between \definedescription and \setupdescriptions? (2) What is the difference between \definition and \description? (3) How do I change the colour of the definition header? I tried the following, but it did not work: \setuphead [definition] [color=colour_head] -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
