index: distinguish entries by pagestyle
by Andreas Mang 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi there, I got a question considering the registers. I'd like to distinguish between the definition of some term and its appearance/use somewhere else (boldface vs. normal font of page number for instance). The garden provides a solution, which does not seem to work for me: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupregister[index][nb][pagestyle=bold] \starttext My \index[nb::dog]{dog}dog is a cat\index{cat}. \placeindex \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% (modified from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Registers) What I'd like to have is, that dog appears with a bold page number and that cat doesn't. ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.10 01:04 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.11 Cheers, Andreas

Thank you, Sietse, That works a treat. And thank you for your idea of looking at the source code. I should do that more often to ease myself into understanding TeX a bit better. At the moment I still look at myself as a "user". Regards, Malte.

Bibliography in authornum format
by Devendra Ghate 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

I am using ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.10 01:04 MKIV and here is the MWE. I would like to create numbered bibliography with *Author name [1]* format. If multiple authors are present then it should produce *Author /et al./ [1]*. This does not happen. Instead I get *Author, [1]*. Since I am new to ConTeXt, I might be making a basic mistake. Devendra --------------- \setupbibtex[database={bib}] % As suggested by Aditya on TEX SX. \setuppublications[alternative=num, refcommand=authornum] \starttext I am refering to \cite{me13} . \placepublications[criterium=text] \stoptext ---------------- bib.bib ---------------- @article{me13, title = {This bibliography in context}, author = {Convert, Recent and User, Power and Fiddler, Amateur}, journal = {Tex SX}, volume = {1}, number = {1}, pages = {1-11}, year = {2013}, } ---------------

Any ConTeXt-Lua changes
by Rogers, Michael K 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi, I wrote Lua routines a while back that parse a string representation of a weekly schedule to create a table representation of the schedule. It worked last fall. Certainly in August, 2012 and I think at least as late October. I just tried it again, but it failed; and it failed on the same file it worked on before. Before I roll up my sleeves and starting digging through the code, I was wondering if something had changed in the last two or three months that I should know about. No MWE for you, but here's the ConTeXt command that sends an ID (#1) and a parameters (#2) to Lua \def\defineschedule{\dodoubleempty\dodefineschedule} \def\dodefineschedule[#1][#2]{\ctxlua{userdata.schedule.new("#1","#2")}} Thanks for any tips, Michael ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt on the Mac (TexShop). Problem of a newbie
by Meigen, Thomas 13 Jan '13

Hi, once again, thank you very much for your help. @Hans > Most of those presentation styles were used at tex user group meetings and in those cases I often use new (or experimental) functionality, i.e. hooking in extentions and such; in the transition from mkii to mkiv some of the hacks needed in traditional tex are gone but then I need to check all those styles too and I don't use them that often. Thanks, now I understand the experimental nature of these modules. > The benefits of mkiv over mkii compensate the occasional issue. Also, issues are often fixed quite fast and as we have a perfect update structure running on the garden problems never stay long. I (and probably others) use mkiv in (often unattended) production runs so it's on the average pretty useable. I haven't used mkii for years. Great, so this would be be an argument for me to use mkiv as well. And the very fast and helpful comments here in the Forum are very convincing. Thanks > I have no clue what Scrivener is. Sorry, I forget to mention. Scrivener is a very nice editor which mainly supports the creative part of writing and the organisation of additional material. The reason I mentioned it here is that it can export the text in a large variety of formats including LaTeX. But the question about how it might cooperate with Context might be better suited to the Scrivener Forum... ;-). @Sietse thanks you very much for your clarifications. These explanations are very helpful! > So if it's stability you worry about, you have three options: > * Use Mark II, solid as a rock. > * Follow the stable Mark IVs. > * Take a bleeding-edge beta and don't update it. Thanks. I see, there are different options (which is always good...) Best wishes Thomas

Controlling Appearance of \inoutermargin
by Malte Stien 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Hi, I have just changed one of my documents from single-page to double-page to be printed as a book. I have some margin remarks, that used to be on the left which I am now trying to move to the outer margin on odd and even pages (that is, left on even, right on odd pages). In doing so, I had to modify all of my \inmargin's to \inoutermargins (Please pull me up on this if this is not a good way of doing this; I found this in some forum, there does not seem to be a Wiki page about this command). As it turns out, I am no longer able to control the appearance of these \inoutermargins using my \setupinmargin command. I have been playing with different options, like \setupinmargin[outer][style=\slx, color=darkgray, stack=yes] or \setupinoutermargin[style=\slx, color=darkgray, stack=yes] but cannot get it to work. Is there any documentation about the \inoutermargins command? Any hints? Thank you, Malte.

big vertical distance
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Hallo, the following was ok with mkII: % coding: utf-8 \def\B{\vphantom{\bigg)}} \setupbodyfont[11pt,sans] \starttext \startitemize[a,columns,three,joinedup][grid=no,width=8mm,right=)] \item $\B 5b\cdot (3a+4b-5c)$ \item $\B 3xy\cdot (2x-6y-xy)$ \item $\B (-0{,}5x)\cdot (3y-5x)$ \item $\B (2z-3x+5)\cdot (0{,}5z+x)$ \item $\B 8ac\cdot 3\frac{1}{4}ax$ \item $\B 2\frac{1}{2}ab\cdot 6ax$ \item $\B \frac{2}{3}ax\cdot 1\frac{1}{2}by$ \item $\B 7\frac{1}{2}ay\cdot 1\frac{3}{5}ax$ \item $\B (+4ab)\cdot (-15xy)$ \stopitemize \stoptext now with LuaTeX I get very large vertical distances. Much more then \bigg(. Why is this? Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] Page Numbers on Outer Edge of Outer Margin
by Malte Stien 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Marco, Thank you, I have opted for your solution as it was the one I most easily understood and it seems to do the job. One thing, though, it turns out the #pageno variable does not seem to work. I had to rename it to #1 to do the trick. Even #p did not work. Do those variables have to be numbers? Here is what worked in the end: \setuppagenumbering[ alternative=doublesided, location={header, margin}, style=bold, command=\PageNumberCommand ] \starttexdefinition PageNumberCommand #1 \doifoddpageelse {\rightaligned{#1}} {\leftaligned{#1}} \stoptexdefinition Thank you again.

Page Numbers on Outer Edge of Outer Margin
by Malte Stien 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

Hi, I have a rather wide, 41mm, outer margin in a manual and I am trying to put the page number into the margin like so: \setuppagenumbering[ alternative=doublesided, location={header, margin}, style=bold, ] The trouble is that the page number is only a few millimetres wide and gets positioned on the inside edge of my outside margin. Hence, it does not end up close enough to the edge of the page. I guess, I would like to right-align it 4mm from the edge of a right-hand page and left-align it by the same amount from the edge of a left-hand page. Is that doable? Thank you, Malte.
