by Emmanuel Asante 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Hi All, I tried to setup a page header with two lines using a command like this: \setupheadertexts[Left Text][Right Text 1. \crlf Right Text 2] but the \crlf command gets ignored. How do I achieve this? Best regards, Emmanuel

\definedescription usage
by Kip Warner 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hey list, I'd like the contents of my \startdefinition \stopdefinition pairs to have their title above them on a line of their own, but am having problems with the usage: \definedescription[definition] [location=top, hang=20, headcolor=colour_head, headstyle=boldslanted, command=\hskip-1cm, margin=1cm] According to what I understand here, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Description#ConTeXt_3 , this should work? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Footnotes gone
by Kip Warner 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hey list, For the first time in several months, today's nightly build actually managed to digest my book without crashing or bailing. I'm using 2012.03.05. There is one thing I noticed though and that is all of my footnotes are now invisible. The number next to them is visible, but the text itself is black on black (my page colour is black). I am preparing my footnotes as such: \definecolor[colour_page][r=0,g=0,b=0] \definecolor[colour_text][r=0.754,g=0.516,b=0.324] \definecolor[colour_footnote_background][colour_page] \definecolor[colour_footnote_text][colour_text] \setupfootnotes [color=colour_footnote_text, backgroundcolor=colour_footnote_background] This was working in previous builds, but it could be someone changed the method to alter the footnote text's colour. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Simple bibliography
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hello ConTeXist. Unfortunately, I give up. The standard way to use the bibliography fail (output still is not sorted in the order they came citing). I can not even after many hours of testing and experimenting get win. Therefore I decide that I am looking now other ways. Does anyone have experience with simplebibliography in contextgarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Bibliography)? Solve someone something like that? Has anybody a simple minimal example? From information from wikipedia I do not make functional example (especially the first case). Second case is very simple and understandable, but now I looking for a way to automate the sorting (that the order is not what I require). Or exist something similar? Can you please advise me a way to get the better of a very simple bibliography without using standart bibliography system of ConTeXt? Sorry to inundating these bibliographic questions, but I need to somehow resolve my problem in the near future and looking for every possibility, where to get something that would help me. Thanx Jaroslav Here is my minimal example from ConTeXtgarden (second option). It shows (without automation) as the need. \definereferenceformat[Cite][left={[},right={]}] \defineitemgroup [bibliography] [levels=1] \setupitemgroup [bibliography] [symbol=n, left={[}, right={]}, width=1.5em, stopper=, itemalign=flushleft, inbetween={\blank[2pt]} ] \appendtoks\let\bibitem\itemgroupitem\to\itemgroupcommands \starttext This is \Cite[4] and \Cite[2] \Cite[3] \section{Bibliography} \startbibliography \bibitem[4] (4) Hashimoto S., Sato F., Fabrication and mechanical properties of sintered leucite body, Journal of the Ceramics Society of Japan 113(7), 2005, 488-490 \bibitem[2] (2) IPS Classic, Scientific Documentation, Ivocar Vivadent, July 2003 \bibitem[1] (1) Thermal expansion, chapter 2, The Materials Information Society \bibitem[3] (3) Taylor D., Henderson C.M.B., The thermal expansion of the leucite group of minerals, The American mineralogist, September-october 1968, 1476-1489 \stopbibliography \stoptext

Itemize Prefixes
by Kip Warner 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hey list, I'd like an itemized list using the following format... Article I ... Article II ... Article III ... ...and so on. I've tried defining the behaviour with... \defineenumeration[article] [location=top, text=Article, between=\blank, before=\blank, after=\blank] \setupenumerations[article][R] ...but the problem is that after a list of items provided with matching \startarticle \stoparticle pairs, the last count persists to the next list of items which should start at 'I' again. I am assuming I am not doing this correctly and would appreciate any suggestions. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Including command output
by Kip Warner 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hey list, I'd like to include the output of a command. I am using the following to define the command, \def\BazaarRevision{\cldcontext{os.resultof"bzr revno | tr -d '\\n'"}} and the following to use the output of the command, \BazaarRevision A concern I have is whether this command is executed multiple times during the typesetting process when it need only be done once with the result cached. If this is indeed the case, does anyone have any suggestions? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Bug in ConTeXt? Conflict in titles, sections and bibliography (was bibliography problems)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hello ConTeXist. I present an bug with which I have been seeing over the last few versions of Context. In collaboration with Thomas, who helped me find the perfect minimal example, I managed to finally find out what is the core of my problem. But it is perhaps deeper than at first glance. Bibliographic system is today (last version of standalone) in conflict with results of \title and \section commands. I show in the example below, how strange it works ConTeXt, while using inserting of the bibliography together with title and section commands. I want show three cases of behavior of ConTeXt: As you see below then: 1. When document is both without Title and without Section (both commands are commented) then you see a problem with list of bibliography - list of figures and list of bibliography are mixed. 2. When document is with Title (uncomment \title command) then you see that bibliography is not working. You get errors in bibliography links and ConTeXt do not include list of bibliography. 3. When document is with Section (uncomment \section command) then you see that all is working now without any problems - links are right and list of bibliography is correct too. Additionally, you can track down and how it behaves ConTeXt when inserting figure with or without captions (in case 1). It really is a bug somewhere or doing something wrong? Thanx Jaroslav Here is minimal example: \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications[alternative=ams, sorttype=cite] \starttext %\section{Section} % When you uncomment this line you see, that everything is OK, both bibliography links and list of bibliography works fine \title{Title} % When you uncomment this line you see, that bibliobraphy links are broken and ConTeXt do not include list of bibliography Citations are \cite[hh2010b] and \cite[hh2010a]. \placefigure[force][fig1]{Caption of figure \cite[Eijkhout1991] with citation} % get "mixing" problem {\externalfigure[fig1]} % \placefigure[force, none][fig1]{} % Figure without caption - no problem with bibliography (both links and "mixing") % {\externalfigure[fig1]} %\placefigure[force][fig1]{Caption of figure without citation} % you see, that problem does not depend on whether the citation is inserted or not % {\externalfigure[fig1]} \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stoptext
