combinedlist: different behaviour in mkiv
by Stefan Rothe 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi I have defined a two-level head structure with independent numbering. It works as intended with mkii, but with mkiv, the top-level number is prepended to all second-level heads in the table of contents. With mkii, I get: Part A First 1 One 2 Two ... with mkiv: Part A First A.1 One A.2 Two ... How can I fix this? Kind regards Stefan % Top level head \definehead [AgendaPart] [section] \setuphead [AgendaPart] [ownnumber=yes, number=yes, numbercommand={Part }, style=\bf\tfb] \newcounter\AgendaPartNumber \define [1] \agendapart { \doglobal\increment\AgendaPartNumber \AgendaPart{\Character{\AgendaPartNumber}}{#1} } % Second level head, idependently numbered \definehead [AgendaItem] [subsubsection] \setuphead [AgendaItem] [ownnumber=yes, number=yes, style=\bf] \newcounter\AgendaItemNumber \define [1] \agendaitem { \doglobal\increment\AgendaItemNumber \AgendaItem{\AgendaItemNumber}{#1} } \definelist [AgendaPart] \setuplist [AgendaPart] [width=1.5cm, style=bold, numbercommand={Part }] \definelist [AgendaItem] \setuplist [AgendaItem] [width=1.5cm, ownnumber=yes] \definecombinedlist [toc] [AgendaPart, AgendaItem] \setupcombinedlist [toc] [pagenumber=no] % Test \starttext \placetoc \agendapart{First} \agendaitem{One} \agendaitem{Two} \agendapart{Second} \agendaitem{Three} \agendaitem{Four} \stoptext

Long table centered on every page
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hello how to center a table over several pages? Suppose the following code: ---- \def\TAB{% \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH head1 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead % \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{40}{% \bTR \bTD body \eTD \eTR } \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \starttext Table 1: \midaligned{\TAB} \page Table 2: \startalignment[middle] %\dontleavehmode% \TAB \stopalignment \stoptext ---- Table 1 is centered in the page, however both parts of the table are placed next to each other (unwanted). If I use \startalignment instead \midaligned (table 2), the table is not centered on the page (also unwanted), even if I uncomment the \dontleavehmode. So - how to center a long table on every page it is printed on? TIA. Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

tolerance and whitespace settings inside a TEXpage
by Marco Patzer 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hi, inside a TEXpage the tolerance and the whitespace settings are not applied. The whitespace can be set in a setup and the tolerance can be set directly with \spaceskip, but that seems a bit hackish. Is that intended and is there a cleaner solution? Example: \setuplayout [width=8cm] \setupbodyfont [mono] \startsetups [myset] \setupwhitespace [big] \setuptolerance [space] \stopsetups \setups{myset} \starttext \startTEXpage [setups=myset] %% \spaceskip .5em plus .25em minus .25em \input knuth \stopTEXpage \input knuth \stoptext Marco

contents empty?
by Matthew Claus 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi everyone, Using the 2012.09.16 minimals, \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Chapter One} \completecontent \stoptext renders the first table of contents as expected but the second is empty. Should this work? I'm trying to place the contents as the final element of the frontmatter in a more complex document. Thank you - Matt

Spacing around integrals
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi, The spacing around the integrals is wrong in the current version when using latin modern or xits (but correct when using cambria or euler). Is this due to wrong parameters in the font, or something wrong at the ConTeXt end? Minimal example: \setupbodyfont[xits] \setupmathematics[integral=nolimits] \starttext \startformula \int_{-∞}^{∞} f(t)dt \stopformula \stoptext Aditya

Hello list, is there a way to setup the layout of the publicationlist? I would like to add a blank line after every entry. I already created my own style file to alter the layout of some publications but don't know where to change the list. best michael

List of macro-generating macro (was: Ctx: list of commands)
by Sietse Brouwer 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi Hans, > quite some commands are generated so we would still miss a lot For any now-or-future documentation project, it will be useful to have a list of macros that generate (user-facing) macros. * We could use it to modify these macros so that they report to a table the macros they create. * We could use it to simply find the places these factory macros are used, when constructing our list of commands * We could use it when looking for the source of an indirectly-defined command --- useful when writing options documentation. So, for starters: below is a tab-separated list of various \install*handler commands (and their frequency in the *.mk* sources). I hope gmail doesn't mangle the formatting too badly. Could you note, for each one, * whether it is a top-level macro or simply a helper routine * If it is a top-level macro, whether it creates user-facing commands always, sometimes, or never? (Working definition of top-level macros vs helper routines: macros that you yourself call directly when writing functionality, versus routines that you once split off to structure the code, and that only gets called by some other macro.)

Ctx: list of commands
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hello, 1) is there a Ctx command/switch which would generate list of all current ConTeXt commands? E.g. " context --list-of-commands > Cmds.txt " to produce ---- Cmds.txt \startCAP \stopCAP \startCap \stopCap ... \writetoregister ---- 2) The directory "c:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf-context\context\data\textpad" is empty (by default?). Its content: - is filled when context.exe is launched with a command/switch (if so, which command?), or - is filled when a newer version of ConTeXt is downloaded (if so, which "extras" - like "first-setup.bat --extras=all --modules=all" - should be specified to fill the directory)? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Bibliography, unicode strings, @ELECTRONIC, sorting and bibtex
by Marco Patzer 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hi, I have some questions regarding the bibliography. 1) The style files bibl-ams.tex, bibl-ssa.tex, etc contain strings like ``, ~. This does not make sense to me. The `` ends up like that in the output and the tilde might interfere with the \asciimode setting. Wouldn't it be better to use the proper Unicode glyphs (U+201C, U+00A0, etc.) nowadays? I assume the files are old MkII files and not being updated since. Example: \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=ssa] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \cite[Eijkhout1991] \cite[hh2010] \placepublications [criterium=cite] \stoptext 2) The @ELECTRONIC type does not work (already mentioned in the wiki). It does not show up in the references list. I guess no one bothered adding them and it's up to me to add the corresponding entries. Maybe someone has already prepared a working file for the APA style? 3) How to sort the bibliography by author? According to the bib manual I expected this to work: \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=apa, criterium=cite, sort=author] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \cite[Eijkhout1991] \placepublications \stoptext 4) \completepublications produces an empty page. Is that intended? \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=ssa, criterium=cite] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \completepublications \stoptext 5) (side question) What is BibTeX used for in ConTeXt? As far as I can see, it reads the .bib database and generates a .bbl file which then is read in by ConTeXt. Why do we need an external tool for this? Why does ConTeXt not read in the .bib database and directly save it as a Lua table? Marco
