Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[section][criterium=all] \def\FootnotesHeading{\translate[en=English Notes, es=Notas en español]} \def\mimo{\section{\FootnotesHeading}} \starttext \es\mimo \en\mimo \stoptext Headings except in PDF bookmarks are fine. How can I get titles in PDF bookmarks? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Most probably I’m not qualified to seriously discuss Bibliography matters in ConTeXt, but wat Keith has written here appeals to me. It would probably be OK to try and control all and everything in a Bibliography with commands and codes if there were only a few standard ways of presenting a bibliography. But that is not the case, even if most people seem to use apa-style. What should one do with an old book, of which there are several “facsimile editions” and an English translation, and you were required, by the publisher or the university, to render it in the Bibliography in the following way: Gasparini, Francesco, L’Armonico pratico al cimbalo (Venice, 1709); repr. (New York, 1967); repr. (Bologna, 2001); trans. Frank Stillings as The Practical Harmonist at the Harpsichord (New Haven, CT, 1963) or, other example: Buchner, Hans, Das Fundamentbuch (c1525), CH-Bmi, MS F.I.8; ME: in Carl Paesler, ‘Fundamentbuch von Hans von Constanz, Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte des Orgelspiels im 16. Jahrhundert’, VMw, 5 (1889), 1-192 ? With a Bibliography to make of about 500 items, for a PhD thesis, of which more than half were of this kind, I gave up on all sophisticated tools of BibTeX and exclusively used the format Booklet, with Author, Title, City and PubYear, generated a .bbl and edited that to give me the correct form. And, yes, I had to tweak the apa -style a little but that part was easy. The two examples are in the .bbl-file as follows: \startpublication[k=Gasparini:2001ublt,t=booklet, a={{{Gasparini, Francesco}}},y=2001, n=73,s={Gas}01] \author[]{}[]{}{{Gasparini, Francesco}} \pubyear{1963} \title{{L'armonico pratico al cimbalo {\em (Venice, 1708); repr.~(New York, 1967); repr. (Bologna, 2001); trans.~by Frank Stillings~as} The Practical Harmonist at the Harpsichord}} \city{New Haven, CT} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=Buchner:1525fblt,t=booklet, a={{{Buchner, Hans}}},y=, n=39,s={Buc}] \author[]{}[]{}{{Buchner, Hans}} \title{{{Das Fundamentbuch} {\em ({\em c}1525), CH-Bmi, MS F.I.8; ME: in Carl Paesler, \quote{Fundamentbuch von Hans von Constanz, Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte des Orgelspiels im 16.~Jahrhundert}}, VMw, {\em 5 (1889), 1-192}}} \stoppublication Primitive? Certainly. But it is straightforward, very flexible and it works. I hope of course that the new Bibliography tool will be very powerful, but I also hope that it will remain possible, in ConTeXt, to keep doing things in a simple manner. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

bibliography: alignment of first hanging lines in publications list, hyphenation
by Jörg Weger 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Attached are a MWE using plain APA and the corresponding BibTeX file. (Don’t mind the mistakes regarding series/volumes, I got that working in my personal setup that overrides plain APA.) APA style defaults with hanging indents in the publications list. The respectively hanging first lines of each entry in the publications list are not properly aligned on the left. (The indented lines are). I would like all of those first lines to start on the very left of the textfield. If I use \hyphenation to prevent e.g. names from being hyphenated those words might be driven into the right margin. Hanging punctuation doesn’t seem to work as well. Is there anything that can be done about that? Or how can the justification be switched to flush left/ragged right with hanging indents on the left? Greetings Jörg PS: And by the way, “\placebtxrendering[criterium=all]” is not working anymore. I think I had it working before to place all entries from the BibTeX file into the publications list regardless of their actual appearance in the text as citations–which was a good way to test only the publications list’s layout.

Announcement: kfreebsd binaries
by Alan BRASLAU 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hello, Kfreebsd is a Debian/GNU distribution built upon a freebsd kernel rather than a linux kernel. I have been building binaries for kfreebsd 64bit and 32bit systems (as well as both freebsd and linux binaries). However, we do not believe that anyone is downloading and using these binaries. Unless someone asks that we continue to provide kfreebsd binaries, we intend on dropping support for them in the Context standalone distribution. We shall continue providing both freebsd and linux binaries. Alan P.S. linux binaries typically suffer from glibc compatibility issues. We attempt to build them on systems that are old enough (read outdated) so that they will work for all users. Freebsd does not suffer from such issues, but kfreebsd binaries do to some extent, making its support slightly more complicated.

Formatting bibliographic inline references and publications list
by Jörg Weger 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hello everybody, I am rather new to ConTeXt and I am momentarily stuck with the following: How can I further format the way an inline reference and a bibliographic reference in the publications list are displayed? For example I would like to display the author(s) in spaced-out small caps (I am using the “letterspace” module). The year should be in oldstyle numbers both in the inline reference and in the publications list. An inline-reference should like this (simulated without BibTeX, letterspacing slightly exaggerated): % ====== MWE =============================== \usemodule[t][letterspace] \defineletterspace [LSsmcp] \setupletterspace [LSsmcp][factor=.08, spaceskip=.4em, suppresskern=no,] \starttext \input knuth ({\LSsmcp {\sc Knuth}} {\os 1991}) \input zapf \stoptext % ========================================== I have defaulted oldstyle numbers my environment but I would like to get the the small caps working for the author(s) name(s). I messed around with \setuppublications and \setupcite without success. Is there a way to invoke such formatting in those setups? Greetings Joerg

checking the first word in a command
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \def\Persona{señor Juan Martínez} \def\Persona{señora María Pérez} El/La \Persona\ ha aprobado. \stoptext How can I replace "El/La" in text with a command that can assign the proper article? I could use the translate module, but the real case is more complex than the previous sample. What I need in the command is that it can check the first word in the command \Persona and assign "el" or "la". Which is the right way to do this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Bibliography: separating different kinds of literature
by Mojca Miklavec 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi, What is the proper way to separate bibliography according to some criteria? I would like to separate "serious" publications from web sites (used when referring to hardware models used in experiments for example). Thank you, Mojca
