Starting with bibliography / international entries
by Henning Hraban Ramm 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Hi, it’s the first time I need a proper bibliography, and our book will be published in three languages (German, English and Russian). Most of the sources are in Russian. I’d use everything (titles, author names) in original spelling (i.e. cyrillic), but would like to provide also a transliteration. In German and English issues I’d like to use a „Latin“ reference code, in Russian a Cyrillic (or original-type) one. What format would you suggest for the database? Can ConTeXt MkIV already handle something „better“ than .bib? (I guess the information in the wiki is outdated?) Does general BibTeX documentation still apply? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Strange error with bookmarks
by Michał Goliński 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

While trying to make a longer document with ConTeXt I stumbled into a strange error with the latest beta (I spotted it for the first time some time ago). For the following file: \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard] \placebookmarks[part,chapter][part,chapter][number=no] \starttext \chapter{0} \startpart[title={A}] \chapter{1} \chapter{2} \stoppart \startpart[title={B}] \chapter{3} \chapter{4} \chapter{5} \chapter{6} \chapter{7} \chapter{8} \chapter{9} \chapter{10} \stoppart \completecontent[criterium=all] \stoptext ConTeXt would generate a file in which the link for chapter "6" is not working. Neither the link in the table of contents works nor the link in the generated PDF bookmarks. When removing the second line, the link in the table of contents doesn't work, but everyting is ok if one removes the table of contents. What seems even more weird for me, the problem goes away if one removes *any* chapter. It persists for chapter "6" even if chapters are distributed differently between parts without changing their order. Am I doing something wrong? I hope someone might be able to help. Best regards Michał

new mechanism

14 Oct '14

Hi, As we needed it for a project, I made this: \showinjector \setinjector[register][3][\column] \setinjector[list] [2][{\blank[3*big]}] \starttext \placelist[section][criterium=text] \blank[3*big] \placeregister[index][criterium=text] \page \startsection[title=Alpha] first \index{first} \stopsection \startsection[title=Beta] second \index{second} \stopsection \startsection[title=Gamma] third \index{third} \stopsection \startsection[title=Delta] fourth \index{fourth} \stopsection \stoptext A typical ugly last-resort hack. Only for auto-generated lists and registers. It's in the beta.

resetting footnotes number
by Andrea Valle 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Dear list, As I have a book with many chapters, I’d like to reset footnote numbering at each chapter. How can I achieve this? I’m looking here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes but can’t find a solution I looked also at \setupfootnotes but it says: way bytext bysection Start numbering from 1 again at the start of every section? BTW on mkiv, so I guess I should use \setupnotation Thanks Best -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - StudiUm Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.fonurgia.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanderaalle/sets/ --> http://vimeo.com/vanderaalle --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- "This is a very complicated case, Maude.

Hi, I’d like to have first line indents for the whole document I’m working o (the latter including various chapter). Each new line, an indent. Following the wiki, I’m able only to get the first line of a section indented.

\writetolist in mkiv
by Jano Kula 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Hello to everybody! Minimal story ------------- How to insert local TOC of manually created subsections after the section starts? % start minimal example \def\ManualSubsection#1{\blank% {\bf Manual Subsection #1}\par% \writetolist[subsection]{whatever}{Manual Subsection #1}% \input tufte\relax} \starttext \dorecurse{3}{% \startchapter[title=Chapter] \placecontent[chapter,criterium=local] % local TOC OK \startsection[title=Section] Here we would like to see the local list of manual subsections \placecontent[section,criterium=local] % local TOC not OK \ManualSubsection{\recurselevel-1} \ManualSubsection{\recurselevel-2} \stopsection \stopchapter} \stoptext % stop minimal example Longer Story ------------ Predefined \start<chapter|section> inserts "titledata" in TUC file: ["titledata"]={ ["label"]="chapter", ["title"]="Chapter", }, ... ["titledata"]={ ["label"]="section", ["title"]="Section", }, while \writetolist[subsection]{whatever}{Manual Subsection #1} inserts "userdata": ["userdata"]={ ["first"]="whatever", ["second"]="Manual Subsection \\recurselevel -1", }, Is this the reason and can I force to write "titledata" in the TUC file? Real case is of course more complicated and also PDF hyperlinks should work. Thank you in advance, Jano

I have found the following example for mkiv in the unofficial test suite ( https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite) \setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+] \starttext \chapter[one]{Chapter One} \section[bla]{Blablabla} \chapter[two]{Chapter Two} See \in{Section}[one:bla] \stoptext The test suite also contains the output pdf with the correct reference. So there must have been a time when mkiv did resolve the reference in the above example correctly. On my ConTeXt standalone dating 2014.08.19 11:57, the above example does, however, not work. The example does only a test of "non-local" references (from within the namespace "two" to the different namespace "one"). Local references do, however, work even with my version of ConTeXt. Here is an example: \setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+] \starttext \startchapter[reference=chap1,title=First Chapter] \startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in First Chapter] Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1]. \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[reference=chap2,title=Second Chapter] \startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in Second Chapter] Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1]. \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext But how can I now reference chap1:sec1 from withing chap2? I tried \about[chap1:sec1], but in vain. Referencing the global namespace with "-:" does, surprisingly, work. Here is an example: \setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+] \starttext \startsection[reference=sec1,title=Freefloating Section] \about[sec1] \stopsection \startchapter[reference=chap1,title=First Chapter] \startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in First Chapter] Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].\par Reference \type{-:sec1} is \about[-:sec1] \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext Any help is appreciated.
