Include 'urldate' in *.bst (Url citations with last checked date)
by Jens Bertram 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

Hi, for a document I'm currently writing I need to cite some online resources including their last accessed date. Adding \insertbiburl[..] to a citation style does work fine to get the urls printed. However, the *.bst styles only check for 'lastchecked' tag for a last accessed date. I don't know if there's any standard way for specifying the date but 'lastchecked' and 'urldate' seem to be two commonly used variants (as far as a quick web search tells - I'm on Zotero which also uses the last mentioned type). To get this temporary working for me I replaced the plain 'lastcheck' output in *.bst with: .. lastchecked empty$ {"" "\lastchecked" urldate do.out} {"" "\lastchecked" lastchecked do.out} if$ .. and added urldate to the list of known tags. Are there any chances to get this changed in the 'official' version (if there are no other points against this I don't see right now :))? Best regards, Jens

Finalizing my book
by Mikoláš Štrajt 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

I am finalizing my semi-autogenerated e-book and i ran into three issues: 1) its impossible to place table of content after the content itself. It simply doesnt display without any trace in log. 2) i am triying to use Antykwa Torunska with "\definetypeface [antykwa] [rm] [serif] [antykwa-torunska] [default] [encoding=ec]", but it complaint for misssing typescript. Is there some working way to install it? (Using minimals) 3) is there some trick to protect stanzas of poems against pagebreak in the middle of stanza? Or there are some usefult tips/modules when typeseting poetry in Context? Full code of my book is at http://svita.cz/archiv/debug/pro-kukacku.tex I decided not to create some faux example documents cause it doesnt seems to be document-specific issues for me. Thanks for any help. Mikoláš Štrajt

beta
by Hans Hagen 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hi, I uploaded a beta with the usual fixes and improvements (mentioned on the list). I also redid some of the marginal anchoring, so problems might show up there. The reason for this 'upgrade' is that I want more control over right2left typesetting (especially because we have mixed use).

cross-references between documents in a project (using \useexternaldocument)
by talazem＠fastmail.fm 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Dear all, I am trying to create cross references between two documents in my project. Links between the two are successfully made, but the actual page numbers are not being printed (which, for my purposes, are what I actually need, not links). Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known bug (such that I should cease my attempts)? Is \useexternaldocument the wrong command for this purpose? Minimum example files below: % project \project project_xref \startproduct prd_xref \component xref1 \component xref2 \stopproduct % product \startproject project_xref \environment env_xref \product prd_xref \stopproject % environment \startenvironment env_xref \setupinteraction [state=start, style=, color=blue, contrastcolor=, menu=on, title=Cross referencing Test File, author=Gerard Verhaag] \stopenvironment % component1 [xref1] \project project_xref \startcomponent xref1 \starttext \chapter[cross]{Cross referencing} \chapter[lorem]{Lorem} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit \in{Chapter}[lorem]. \stoptext \stopcomponent % component2 [xref2] \project project_xref \startcomponent xref2 \useexternaldocument[xrf][xref1] \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit \in{Chapter}[xrf::lorem]. \stoptext \stopcomponent All the best, Talal

\setupheadnumber and zero
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hello, can a section head be generated with the number 0 (or less)? Sometimes I need to prepend a section while keeping existing section head numbers... Example: ---- \starttext \setupheadnumber[chapter][-1] \chapter{Ch0} % Getting "Ch0" instead of "0. Ch0"? \chapter{Ch1} \stoptext ---- Here, "0. Ch0" is not generated, the zero is not displayed; why?

Formula numbering
by Mari Voipio 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello! I recently had to reformat a document that contains mathematical notation and I was surprised how easy it was once I got the hang of it. There's only one tiny problem: I have one equation inserted with \placeformula. Currently this formula gets numbered as equation 2.1 as it is in chapter two. I would prefer it to be called just (1) instead of (2.1). The display math page at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/Display> says to use \setupnumber[formula][way=bysection] to get formulas numbered by section, but there are no hints on numbering the formulas with a running number independent of the section numbering. What am I missing? Mari

Forced page break in a TOC
by Mari Voipio 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello all! I've got a TOC where the page break really should be one line higher than it is automatically. I found a solution in the wiki at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Forced_Page_Break>, but it doesn't seem to work (any more). Any ideas on how to fix the problem? Mari

TOC with too long entry
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hello, is there a way to achieve the following look of TOC: " 1 Sec ........................ 2 1.1 A very very very very very very long section name ... 2 " ^ ^ | | - aligned here instead of: " 1 Sec ........................ 2 1.1 A very very very very very very long section name ... 2 " i.e. the page numbers to be aligned "in one column", no matter whether an entry flows onto more lines, and a multiline TOC entry text to start at each line at the same position? (See also the attached scheme.) Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
