custom :cite setups with new bibliography system
by Eidenbenz Michael 06 Oct '15

This works only with method=dataset in current context. In beta the method=local works, but then \btxfield is broken for the :cite setups Is there a workaround or is this temporaily broken?

reading attribute from ancestor element in XML
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hello list, I have an XML fragment like this: <div id="myid"> <p><sup>12</sup> blah blah...</p> </div> In the typeset text I want to substitute the text of the sup element ("12") with the id ("myid") in its div grandfather. The xmlsetup associated to the sup element looks like this: \startxmlsetups xml:sup \xmlatt{\xmlfirst{#1}{../..}}{id} \stopxmlsetups This gives an error (TeX capacity exceeded). I'm using ConTeXt version 2015.06.15. I've tried \xmlfilter and \xmlall too, with different lpaths. Sometimes ConTeXt ends without errors, but I've never managed to get the text of that attribute. What's the right way to backtrack to parent and ancestor nodes?

Form with character separators
by DesdeChaves 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

I would like to produce a form with a character separators. However, my code presents two problems: first, the character box has no fixed dimensions and, two, I can't indent the text when it occupies multiple lines (ex, address field). I tried to use the starttabulate environment, but without sucess. My questions are: Can I fix the size of the boxes? and Can I apply the starttabulate environment to indent the field description and align all descriptors and fields names (name, age, sex, race, address, ...)? Thanks in advance Jorge

Register sort method for unicode quotes
by Rik Kabel 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Is there a sort method that can be specified for register sorts that will ignore unicode quote marks (“‘’”) in the same way that primes ("') are ignored. This was asked in 2010 (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg51348.html) and not answered. It is still a problem. Is there a sort method that can be applied as well to sorted lists to do this? \definesorting[Sort][Sorts] \starttext \placelistofSorts[criterium=all] \placeindex[n=1,method=default] \index{"Hope" is the thing with feathers} \index{Hope is the thing with feathers} \index{Hop is the thing with feathers} \index{“Hope” is the thing with feathers} \Sort["Hope" is]{"Hope" is the thing with feathers} \Sort[“Hope” is]{“Hope” is the thing with feathers} \Sort[Hope is]{Hope is the thing with feathers} \Sort[Hop is]{Hop is the thing with feathers} \Sort[Dope is]{Dope is the thing with feathers} \Sort[Rope is]{Rope is the thing with feathers} \stoptext -- Rik
