Hello, During the weekend there will be a short downtime of the contextgarden.net server (excluding wiki which is hosted in NL), most probably on Sunday. I will let you know once the exact time will be known. Mojca

Using num and authornum bibliography style simultaneously
by Devendra Ghate 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hi, I want to use *num* and *authornum* bibliiography style simultaneously in my document. \setuppublications[alternative=num] ------------------------------------------- [1]. \setuppublications[alternative=num, refcommand=authornum] -- Author name [1]. So I have defined a macro as: \define[1]\citet{% \setuppublications[alternative=num, refcommand=authornum] \cite[#1] \setuppublications[alternative=num] } to give me the *authornum* format and default \cite behaviour is *num*. This works. However, I have a feeling that this is not the recommended way of doing things in ConTeXt. Do let me know. Regards, Devendra

\goto links to figures are inactive

The following compiles in the latest beta standalone but with dead links to the Figure: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \goto{Figure A}[fig:Figure.pdf] \goto{Text A}[TextA] \page \useexternalfigure[Graphic][Figure.pdf][] \placefigure [here,page,force,nonumber] [fig:Figure.pdf] {Figure A} {\externalfigure[Figure.pdf][type=pdf, width=\textwidth]} \reference[TextA]{} \input knuth \stoptext Any suggestions?

Bug in \externalfigure[...][factor=max]
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

\externalfigure[...][factor=max] behaves incorrectly (or at lease does not behave as expected) when the width of the figure is less than the height. Minimal example: \startbuffer \startTABLE[frame=off,align={middle,lohi}] \NC none \NC \externalfigure[cow][ratio] \NC \NR \NC max \NC \externalfigure[cow][ratio][factor=max] \NC \NR \NC fit \NC \externalfigure[cow][ratio][factor=fit] \NC \NR \stopTABLE \stopbuffer \starttext \subject {Width > Height} \defineexternalfigure[ratio][height=1cm,width=5cm] \getbuffer \subject {Height > Width} \defineexternalfigure[ratio][width=1cm,height=5cm] \getbuffer \stoptext See attached output. I thought that factor=max scales the figure (while maintaining the aspect ratio) until the used_width > asked_width and used_height > asked_height. Looking at the grph-inc.mkiv (in particular \grph_scale_apply_size), I no longer understand what factor=max is supposed to do! facor=fit seems to behave as expected, although I don't understand the purpose of factor=broad (why subtract 4*bodyfont? To fit the caption?) Aditya

\setupgraphics[location=local] does not work
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

How do I disable \externalfigure to search in texmf-directory? Using \setupexternalfigures [location=local] \starttext \externalfigure[cow] \stoptext still includes the figure. The tracker shows: graphics > inclusion > locations: local graphics > inclusion > path list: . .. ../.. graphics > inclusion > strategy: unknown format, prefer quality graphics > inclusion > found: ./cow.pdf -> /opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/sample/cow.pdf Also, if location={local,global}, which directories of TEXMF tree are searched? Thanks, Aditya

No interaction for publications with author-year style
by Martin Rimmler 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

Hi all, I cannot get interactive publication references with author-year styles, i.e. all apa and ssa alternatives. See below: \setupbibtex[database={sample}] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue] \setupcombinedlist[publications][interaction=all] \starttext Here I reference Ref1 \cite[ref1] and Ref2 \cite[ref2]. \page[yes] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext It works, however, with \setuppublications[alternative=ams] or with the num alternatives. In short, author-year styles do not work, but number styles do. Any clues as to what might help? I attached the bib file. Thanks in advance. Best, Martin

Re: [NTG-context] Broken scripts

>> {\mi\cap\tfx INTRO} >> gives "Undefined control sequence ..." > > Try this: {\cap\tfx INTRO} Hi, Thanks for the answer, that was the cause. Why \mi, \mc and others are not usable anymore? My intention was to select medium italic and medium condensed variant of the font. Please, advise me, how to switch to condensed (and possibly medium) variant of the font. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Processing MP graphics without interference
by Marco Patzer 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi, I have MetaPost graphics that are generated by an external program. Each graphic is an individual file and the code is enclosed by beginfig(1) … endfig; end The beginfig argument is always “1”, it does not increment. Including the graphics using MPrun fails, since the first figure's “end” stops the MetaPost run: \startMPrun{foo} beginfig(1); fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor blue; endfig; end; %% prevents the second graph from being processed \stopMPrun \startMPrun{bar} beginfig(1); fill unitsquare scaled 2cm withcolor red; endfig; end; \stopMPrun \starttext foo: \externalfigure[mprun:foo.1] bar: \externalfigure[mprun:bar.1] %% not shown \stoptext I want to avoid preprocessing the generated MP graphics, if possible (stripping the “end”s). What is the best way to deal with these graphics? Marco
