Line break in tables
by Malte Stien 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hi, How do I force a line break in a tabulate table cell? I have tried \par, \\ and \crlf none of which seem to do the trick. Thank you, Malte.

by Wolfgang Schuster 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hi Hans, when I try to load a ctx file I get a error message from mtxrun. Example: context --ctx=s-mod.ctx tabl-ntb.mkiv Error message: mtx-context | jobname: tabl-ntb.mkiv mtx-context | ctxname: s-mod.ctx/Users/wolf/context/beta/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun:8420: attempt to index local 'settings' (a nil value) Wolfgang

Enabling PDF bookmarks creates links in red
by Malte Stien 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hello, I have been playing with the creation of PDF bookmarks and found this page here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Bookmarks_and_Headers So I have tried this (and a few variations of it): % Enable PDF bookmarks \setupinteraction[state=start] % Make chapter, section bookmarks visible when opening document \placebookmarks[chapter, section, subsection][chapter, section] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] The problem is that all of my cross-references (\in and \about) produce links (which is great) in bold and red, which is not great. I don't want my cross-references marked up in any way at all as I find that quite unappealing when printed. Can I turn that special mark-up off somehow and have normally formatted links instead? Thank you, Malte.

xml cross-references in lua?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hi all, I have a question about xml processing and I think that what I want/need can best be achieved by using lua code, but so far, I'm not really sure how to proceed, so any help from one of the resident lua gurus would be welcome. So: the question. xml allows to provide elements with unique identifiers so that one can add cross-references within the document structure. Here is a sample xml file that shows what I mean: <document> <bibitem xml:id="hagen2011"> <author>Hans Hagen</author> <title>The Meaning of Life Is 42</title> <journal>The Rhetoric of Mathematics</journal> <date>2011</date> </bibitem> <bibitem xml:id="hagen2012"> <author>Hans Hagen</author> <title>The New Meaning is Now 43</title> <journal>High Energy Metaphysics</journal> <date>2012</date> </bibitem> <text> <p>This has been successfully proven in papers by <bib ref="#hagen2011"/> and <bib ref="#hagen2012"/>.</p> </text> </document> [Note: the TEI guidelines add the hash character in the attribute value to such references, but after much googling, I'm still not sure if this is standard or necessary or bizarre.] So: at the point of the reference (which may be empty, like here, or contain text), I want to refer back to the bibitems. The typesetting engine should then be instructed to pick up the information, so that this is, e.g., typeset as "This has been successfully proven in papers by Hans Hagen (2011) and Hans Hagen (2012)." My idea: since the xml:id attributes must be unique across the document, it would be easiest to collect them into a lua table, with the xml:id as key, so their content could be accessed and typeset later. But unfortunately, I have no clue how to go about this... Could somebody provide a pointer? Thanks for your interest, if you've read this far! Thomas

Wrong values for \inputfilename etc.
by Wolfgang Schuster 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Hi Hans, when I run the following example (saved as filename.tex) I got in the past this output \jobname filename \jobfilename filename.tex \jobfilesuffix tex \inputfilename filename.tex \inputfilebarename filename \inputfilesuffix tex \outputfilename filename \operatingsystem osx-64 but now I get this output \jobname filename \jobfilename filename \jobfilesuffix \inputfilename /Users/…/filename \inputfilebarename filename \inputfilesuffix \outputfilename filename \operatingsystem osx-64 where the suffix is missing. Example: \starttext \starttabulate [|T|T|] \NC \type{\jobname} \NC \jobname \NC\NR \NC \type{\jobfilename} \NC \jobfilename \NC\NR \NC \type{\jobfilesuffix} \NC \jobfilesuffix \NC\NR \NC \type{\inputfilename} \NC \inputfilename \NC\NR \NC \type{\inputfilebarename} \NC \inputfilebarename \NC\NR \NC \type{\inputfilesuffix} \NC \inputfilesuffix \NC\NR \NC \type{\outputfilename} \NC \outputfilename \NC\NR \NC \type{\operatingsystem} \NC \operatingsystem \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Wolfgang

bibliography: multiple categories
by Andreas Mang 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Dear all, is there a way to split the bibliography (at the end of the document with bibtex support) in several categories, which have different headings (similar to what latexs' multibib or splitbib does)? Cheers, Andreas This is what I would like to have as an output: ========== Original Papers My Name and Friends, Some Title, Some Journal, Some Year My Name and Friends, Some Title, Some Conference, Some Year References (other authors) Author A. and Friends, Some Title, Some Journal, Some Year Author B. and Friends, Some Title, Some Conference, Some Year Author C. and Friends, Some Title, Some Conference, Some Year ==========

Hans— Belated thanks. I will reinstall the latest standalone and then see if I can reproduce the problem.

Period at the end of a "alignment block".
by Andre Caldas 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

I have a macro to typeset function definitions: \define[5]\functionarray { \startalign[n=4, align={left,right,center,left}] \NC #1: \NC #2 \NC \to \NC #3 \NR \NC \NC #4 \NC \mapsto \NC #5 \stopalign } I use it like this: (notice the period at the end) \startformula \functionarray{f}{X}{Y}{x}{f(x)}. \stopformula I get the following error: Display math should end with \Ustopdisplaymath ... If I remove the ".", the error does not happen. How should I implement my "functionarray"? Thanks, André Caldas.

Paragraphs: blank line instead of new line
by Xenia 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Dear context folks, I am expected to write a number of texts containing paragraphs separated by a blank line. Is there a parameter/command to set the line break between paragraphs to a blank line between the paragraphs? Thanks in advance, Xenia

Passing variables on invocation- and reading them in ConTEXt
by Ian Lawrence 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

A feeble request from me, again. I'd like to pass variables into context on invocation, just as you can do with setting modes So context --arguments="number=8", "time=full-time" --mode=trial test.tex And have the values of the variables show up in the body of the text, so: ---- \starttext Hello world % This is \getvariables{arguments}{number} it. % this does not work - what do I need here to write out the next line? This is 8. % This is \getvariables{arguments}{time} it. % Nor does this - what do I need here to write out the next line? This is full-time. \stoptext ---- As ever, I've trawled the manuals and wiki and archive emails (which is where the construct --arguments="number=8" came from.) Thanks in anticipation Ian
