Influencing the vertical spacing of the table of contents? No possible?
by Gerben Wierda 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

I asked this on the list a while back. Is there no answer on this one? I use \startpacked\stoppacked with some effect, but I'd like to have more finegrained control. Original question: I'm using mkii. I've got a table of contents that just places one item on the next page, which is ugly. I'd like to tweak the spacing between lines, but which parameter do I have to adjust? It wasn't clear to me from the docs. Thanks, G

After updating ConTeXt standalone, \startanimation … \stopanimation is not working. Here is a sample code and its log file. I tried another animation and have the same error message at \stopanimation line. What is wrong in this code? Thank you.

splitting bibliographic references
by Andrea Valle 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Dear all, I’m working on a project for a book that is a collection of essays. Each one needs at its end a list of references. Of course I’ve started from here http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv But how can I force context to take into account only a portion of text for generating bibliographic references and for inserting a block of references after a section? (To collect all refs in a single bib file or to have split bib files is not an issue) Thanks a lot, 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.

Combining "outer" effect with filled glyphs
by Mojca Miklavec 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi, I would like to get red text with black outlines. The magic in ConTeXt that does the outline is \starteffect[outer] Something \stopeffect but I would like to combine normal filled glyphs with an outline. While I'm able to come up with some magic to do this for single lines (creating zero width hboxes etc.), I would really like to typeset a complete paragraph on a poster. Is there any magic that would allow me to do that? Thank you, Mojca

What I would do anyway is to make a subsection or a subject “References" after each essay, add the references that I have not cited in my text as \nocite[key] and finish with \placepublications[criterium=cite]. I should perhaps add that I always process my projects without using the bib-module. I separately make the necessary .bbl-files, which I linput before \starttext. It gives me a lot of flexibility. I hope this helps. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Because of the concise syntax "prefix=+" it is difficult to google for an example. This feature is mentioned in two places: 1. contextref.pdf in section "12.5 Cross references" explains the main mechanism but seems a little outdated. 2. Hans Hagen, "This Way - Cross document referencing", September 2011. This is more up to date, but mentions the feature only briefly. The mentioned key there is not "prefix" but "referenceprefix", which doesn't seem to work either. Regards, Christoph Reller

Metafun standalone and fonts
by Pol Stra 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Hello! I have an mp file that I use with success in my document with mprun. But if I try to generate the figure alone with this command: mpost --mem=metafun myfigure.mp I obtain this error: > ! Font cmr10 not usable: TFM file not found. > thelabel->...ture(EXPR3):infont.defaultfont.scaled > > .defaultscale.fi;(p.shifte > ... > > l.22 label.ulft("$\vec{k}$", point infinity of p4) ; This is with my ConTeXt installation with only mkiv. The ConTeXt installation with both mkiv and mkii, the error is: > Warning: cannot open font map file psfonts.map > ] > Missing character: There is no 226 in font cmr10! I tried to set: >defaultfont:="latinmodernmath"; Which is in the list of: >mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern= but it doesn't found the TFM file either. I know I can use the: \startMPpage \input myfigure.mp \stopMPpage But the point is I want to generate an svg file, not a pdf. (mpost -s 'outputformat="svg";prologues:=3' --mem=metafun myfigure.mp) Note that with mpost command, it use metafun.mpii, while with mprun, it use metafun.mpiv. Thanks
