RFC: path relative to current file.
by Andre Caldas 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hello, list! A while ago, I raised a question about how to, in a tex, specify a file with a path relative to the currently being processed file. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069132.html http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/068902.html Even though the issue did not get much attention, I do believe it is the right thing to do. I wrote a module to implement a macro I called "\pathrelativetome". My code is still a lot ugly. I don't know how to do many things in Lua, LuaTeX and ConTeXt. It can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/bade74046a6b/lib It would be REALLY NICE if the functionality of "pathrelativetome" was provided by ConTeXt. call it using, for example: context --usemodule=lib/relativetome src/products/assorted.tex Ugly things remaining: 1. pathstack should be initialized with the path of the first tex script. I.e.: src/products/, instead of pathstack[1] = 'src/products' 2. Functions pop and push should be local. (relativetome.lua) 3. Call function "pop" automatically, just like the "push" function is called automatically. 4. Avoid having to define "\xproject", "\xproduct", "\xcomponent" and "\xenvironment". http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069305.html Any suggestions/improvements are very welcome! Cheers, André Caldas.

\externalfigure and large-paged pdfs
by Taco Hoekwater 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, Actually, this is a bug report. If you try to include a pdf with a large page size: \starttext \externalfigure[plankaart] \stoptext chances are that you get an error message like this: ! Dimension too large. <recently read> \hsize \setraggedness ...yphenpenalty \dimexpr 2.8\hsize /\dimexpr #1\relax \relax ... \raggedcenter ...spac_align_set_raggedness_middle \raggedstatus \plustwo \at... \next ...ght \pack_framed_do_setups \raggedcenter \vss \bgroup \localbegstru... \grph_include_finalize ...tedexternalfigureframed {\vfilll \box \foundextern... \grph_include_place ...ode \grph_include_finalize \fi \ctxlua {figures.pop()... ... l.2 \externalfigure[plankaart] It seems that \externalfigure forces execution of \raggedcenter, and if your PDF's page is large enough, that then fails. There is, in fact, a workaroud: \starttext {\setupalign[nothyphenated]\externalfigure[plankaart]} \stoptext but that looks totally bizarre. Hans, can you find a way to fix this properly? Best wishes, Taco

Spacing around integrals
by Jeong Dal 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear Aditya, In "ntg-context Digest, Vol 99, Issue 59", you mention about "\int_a^b", but I could't find the follow-up for that. I also have a similar problem when using "\int_a^b". a and b are located at the bottom and top of the integral sign respectively. Also there is a somewhat big space between the integral sign and "f(x)". I am using the latest beta. Is there any progress for that? Thank you. Best regards. Dalyoung \setupbodyfont[xits] \starttext \startformula \int_a^b f(x)dx \stopformula \stoptext

Dear Otared, Thank you for the sample files. I may miss the follow-ups. I'll check your samples and choose a good one for me. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

apa like bibliography: entries not indexed correctly
by Andreas Mang 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear all, I am experiencing problems with the bibliography. My bibliographystyle is apa like. In the minimal example given below the maybe year is not set up correctly. That is I would expect to have (Firstauthor et al., 2012a,2011,2012b) but I get (Firstauthor et al., 2012,2011,2012). It took me some time to reproduce this error. My description of the error is probably quite difficult to follow. I hope the example is more intuitive: The reason for this problem to occur is that the entries in the bbl file are probably processed according to the alphabetic order of the last name of the authors. If one refers to an author publishing several articles in a single year (in my example 2012) and there is an additional publication that is published in another year (in my example 2011), the ordering is essentially determined by the first letter of the last name of the second author (if it was a different second author, otherwise third author and so on). If the letter of the second author in the publication published in the year in which there was only a single publication (in my example 2011) happens to be inbetween the letter of the second author on the two publications published in the year in which there have been two publications (in my example the publications in 2012), the publication (in my example 2011) will appear inbetween those that appeared in the same year (in my example 2012). This results in the maybeyear to be screwed up. The listing will be Firstauthor et al., 2012 Firstauthor et al., 2011 Firstauthor et al. 2012 instead of Firstauthor et al., 2012a Firstauthor et al., 2011 Firstauthor et al., 2012b Cheers, Andreas 2012.11.06 09:56 MKIV fmt: 2012.11.7 int: english/english \setuppublications[ alternative=apa-de, sorttype=bbl ] \setuppublicationlist[] %bibtex support \setupbibtex[database={references-example},sort=author] %\setupbibtex[database={references},sort=author] %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \cite[Firstauthor:2012b,Firstauthor:2011a,Firstauthor:2012a] \placepublications[criterium=text] \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%%

Re: [NTG-context] A problem with autopunctuation
by Andres Conrado 04 Nov '12

In dont't really know why you think it should render differently. Everything TeX is supposed to ignore white spaces in math, AFAIK. If you want a space in math, you need to force it, like this: \setupmathematics[autopunctuation=yes] \starttext $(2,\ 5)$ versus $(2,\ 5)$ \stoptext Best, Andrés Conrado Montoya El Andi andresconrado(a)gmail.com http://chiquitico.org ---------------------------------------- Los fines no justifican los medios, porque la medida verdadera de nuestro carácter está dada por los medios que estamos dispuestos a utilizar, no por los fines que proclamamos. ---------------------------------------- Por favor, evite enviarme documentos adjuntos en formato Word o PowerPoint.

New module: crossref
by Zenlima 04 Nov '12

04 Nov '12

Hi, after the feedback for my first module (pararef) and regarding my next upcoming module I decided to put crossref into its own module, so that it can be used by other modules or without any other module. http://modules.contextgarden.net/crossref Unluckily I forgot to fill out the filename field at the very beginning. As I cannot change the filename anymore, I ask a modules-db admin to change it from -0.9.zip to t-crossref-0.9.zip - thanks! :-S http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cross_Referencing @Sieste and Wolfgang I removed move my wrong spelling of bra[c]kets and replaced it by left and right as Wolfgang suggested. @Lukas I added your czech alternative. @Philipp I like to put into a public vcs like github. I think it should be something general for all modules (maybe a github like installation on contextgarden? @Philipp and Wolfgang Is there any quick to understand doc for s-mod? @Wolfgang I did not understood your "helpers example". Maybe you can show me a point where it would make sense in this crossref module? Of course to all: feel free to comment it and I hope it will be usefull for some of you. H. PS. Sorry for my half finished post sended before.. it is clearly too late. PPS. pararef will be updated soon to work with crossref
