A very simple macro that does not work...

Hello, list. Also posted this to: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/124494/simple-macro-does-not-work-wi… ConTeXt version: 2013.06.10 22:51 MWE: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \define[1]\anios{{\tfx \inmagin{#1}}} \starttext {\tfx \inmargin{2008-2012}}This is what has been done so far in this years. % this works... \anios{2008-2012}This is what has been done so far in this years. % this doesn't work... \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Error message: system > tex > error on line 5 in file [...]/MWE.tex: Undefined control sequence ... Any ideas? Maybe is something stupid, but it doesn't work. I have other `\define` commands in the same file and they work very well.

Linecorrection and distances
by "H. Özoguz" 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

I use grid-setting, but have elements, which should not be set on the grid (because it is impossible, because of different interlinespaces, bigger fonts, or whatever). For these elements I use \startlinecorrection Elements \stoplinecorrection After these elements the normal text is continued, set on the grid again. That is all working and fine. But: The distances between these "\startlinecorrection Elements \stoplinecorrection" blocks and the text (both distances, before and after) are not always the same, they seem to be random. How to correct that without inserting "\vksip+-Xpt" manually before/after the linecorrected blocks? For testing: \showgrid \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definefont[big][name:Arial at 25 pt] \def\kurztext{Dies ist ein kurzer Text. Die anderen Standardtexte sind deutlich zu lang.} \starttext \kurztext \startlinecorrection \big \kurztext Und noch Zusatztext. \stoplinecorrection \kurztext \startlinecorrection \big \kurztext \stoplinecorrection \kurztext \stoptext In the above example you can see it, the distances between the grid set and the not grid set text are different. Thanks for your help once again. Huseyin

Some questions about the letter module
by Michael Ash 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Dear all, I am using the letter module that came with context. A sample of a basic letter is below; I have put in "dummy" for the logo and the signature, but these are working fine when I include the files. I have several questions: 1. to center the footer. 2. to lower the footer (closer to the bottom of the page) 3. to delete the word "Date" above the date. 4. to put the date *above *the recipient address (and how in general do I adjust the vertical space here). 5. to left-justify the date. 6. to control the foldmarks (for US-letter-size paper, omit, etc.) I have consulted http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter but there are many things I don't understand. What is the meaning of "alternative=example"; what is the option "preset=" in \setuplayer[foot] ? Also is there a better way to manage color? I \definecolor, \startcolor, \stopcolor, but maybe there is a better way to indicate that certain sections of the letter should be in a color. Thanks. Thank you very much for your guidance. Yours, Michael \usemodule[letter] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \definecolor[maroon][h=990033] \setuplanguage [en] [date={dd, month, year}] \setupletteroptions [language=english, bodyfont={rm,12pt}, ] % Define logo for the first page \defineletterelement[layer][head][example]% {\framed[background=logohead,height=25mm,frame=off,align=left]% {\externalfigure[dummy]}} % We put our logo in the head \setupletterlayer[head] [alternative=example, x=9mm, y=10mm ] \defineletterelement[layer][foot][example]% {\startcolor[maroon] \ss \tfx The University of Massachusetts is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Institution. \stopcolor} \setupletterlayer[foot][ align=centerbottom, alternative=example] \setupletter[ name={Michael Ash}, dept={Department of Economics}, building={Thompson Hall}, street={200 Hicks Way}, city={Amherst, MA 01003-9277}, phone={+1-413-545-2590}, fax={+1-413-545-2921}, email={mash(a)econs.umass.edu} ] \defineletterelement[layer][location][example]% {\setuptabulate[bodyfont=normal] \startcolor[maroon] \starttabulate[|lw(.4\textwidth)|rw(.55\textwidth)|] \NC \tfa \sc University of Massachusetts \NC \NR \NC \tfa \sc Amherst \NC \correspondenceparameter{dept} \NR \NC \NC \NR \NC\correspondenceparameter{building} \NC tel \correspondenceparameter{phone} \NR \NC\correspondenceparameter{street} \NC fax \correspondenceparameter{fax}\NC\NR \NC\correspondenceparameter{city} \NC \correspondenceparameter{email} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopcolor} \setupletterlayer[location] [alternative=example, x=42mm, y=4mm ] \starttext \startletter[ toname={Professor Addressee}, toaddress={123 West Home Ave.\\Chicago, IL 60614}, opening={Dear Dr. Addressee,}, subject={A test letter}, closing={Best regards,}, signature={\externalfigure[dummy]\\Michael Ash} ] Thank you very much for the invitation I am truly honored by the opportunity and delighted to attend.

Problems with bibtex in current beta
by Steffen Kram 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi all, I've got still problems with the latest beta. I used first_setup.sh to setup my basic environment, and then I replaced the slightly older beta, as Marco suggested, with the current version from http://pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip. Now, if I try to build my doc, no bibtex is generated. I use the following bibtex setup: \setupheadtext [de][pubs=Literaturverzeichnis] \setuppublications[numbering=no, alternative=apa-de, refcommand=authoryears, autohang=no, criterium=cite, sorttype=bbl] \setuppublicationlist[style={}, after={\blank}, criterium=text] \setupbibtex[database={papers,books,articles,reports,urls}, sort=author] To make sure, none of my libraries contains an error, I also replaced them with sample.bib file from the wiki. \setupbibtex[database={sample}, sort=author] During the tests I always removed all generated bibtex artifacts. But I still end up with a main.blg file saying: This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2013) Capacity: max_strings=150000, hash_size=150000, hash_prime=127507 The top-level auxiliary file: main.aux I couldn't open style file cont-au.bst ---line 2 of file main.aux : \bibstyle{cont-au : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command I found no style file---while reading file main.aux You've used 0 entries, 0 wiz_defined-function locations, 85 strings with 495 characters, and the built_in function-call counts, 0 in all, are: … The main.aux contains \citation{*} \bibstyle{cont-au} \bibdata{sample} and the main.bbl stays empty. I just don't get it, this did work and I even tried to compile a known working version. Do I have to initialize bibtex somehow? Thanks for any suggestions! Steffen

Hi, I uploaded a beta. There are not that many changes. Currently I develop in a separate branch but it might be that some changes are reflected in the betas, and hopefully not breaking anything.

Re: [NTG-context] PDF-Toc text is wrong for new \start? commands

Have you tried formatting it this way: \startsection [title={my fancy section}] bla \stopsection Breaking before closing or after opening the square braces has always given trouble to me.

Table cell spanning multiple columns in tabulate

PDF-Toc text is wrong for new \start… commands
by Steffen Kram 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi all, I just converted my thesis from the old \chapter format to the new \startchapter … commands, to be more flexible when defining the titles for toc etc. If you're just giving a title, e.g. \startsection[ title={my fancy section} ] bla \stopsection then the title is correctly displayed within the document. Nevertheless, it ends up enclosed in curly braces in the PDF-Toc. My current workaround, if I put a comma after the title \startsection[ title={my fancy section}, ] it looks fine. Guess this is bug, not expected behavior. Cheers, Steffen
