Another very useful tool for me. I realize now that many things with labels can be used as anchors for references, and I'm still a bit surprised that a delimited text with a label cannot be used that way. Anyway, your and Wolfgang Schuster's advice give me all I need on this point. Kind regards, Robert Blackstone

Marking a textfragment for later reference
by Robert Blackstone 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

Dear list, How can I refer to some text, for example a discussion of a particular topic, on another page or in another chapter of my document with, for instance "(See discussion on page xx)"? I tried to do this by marking the relevant text as a delimited text without altering its layout: \definedelimitedtext[topica] \setupdelimitedtext[topica][left=,right=] %maybe superfluous? \starttopica some text \stoptopica and then, further on, referring to that text with (See discussion on \at{page}[topica]) But this does not work (mkiv 27-07). Thanks in advance for any advice. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Bug in \startitemize[randomize]
by Aditya Mahajan 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

Hi, \startitemize[randomize] does not randomize properly (one entry at random is gobbled and another is repeated in its place). I guess that this is because of an off-by-one error somewhere. Example (from: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/65662/323) \defineitemgroup[institm] \setupinstitm[1][text, random] \setupinstitm[1][symbol=2, indentnext=no, intro=yes] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=5mm] \bold{Contributions} \startinstitm \startitem Foo Pvt Ltd {\sc nsw} \stopitem \startitem Bar Pvt Ltd {\sc vic} \stopitem \startitem Baz Pvt Ltd {\sc abc} \stopitem \stopinstitm \stopTEXpage \stoptext Aditya

Strange bug with \ in footnotes

Using MPgraphics as externalfigures?
by Mari Voipio 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hi All, I'm being a bit clueless about the MPgraphics again... I've got a pile of instructional graphics that will be used and reused in a project. My first try is/was an unwieldy buffer construction, but I'm sure there's a better way than \placefigure[here] [fig: 5 loop departed setup] {The start position for a 5-loop braid with departed loops} {\framed{\getbuffer[setup 5-loop basic]}} Come to think of it, is there another way of framing the incoming graphic? I don't want to include the frames in the MPcode as I may not always want them, but that \framed{\getbuffer} construction is downright ugly. I think the solution to my problem can be found somewhere in the \startreuseagleMPgraphic and \reuseMPgraphic, but I don't seem to be able to figure out the last bits... On the moment my MPgraphics have \startbuffer[g1] \startMPcode ... \stopMPcode \stopbuffer but that's probably an overkill... And I'd really prefer to have the graphic as just a pic so I can easily use them as external figures. Of course one option would be to pdf the MPgraphics and then to insert the pdf, but I'd prefer to skip that step. Any ideas of how to do this in a smart way? Preferably without having to go into the bowels of ConTeXt to get it done... Thank you, Mari
