bibliography: multiple categories
by Andreas Mang 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Dear all, is there a way to split the bibliography (at the end of the document with bibtex support) in several categories, which have different headings (similar to what latexs' multibib or splitbib does)? Cheers, Andreas This is what I would like to have as an output: ========== Original Papers My Name and Friends, Some Title, Some Journal, Some Year My Name and Friends, Some Title, Some Conference, Some Year References (other authors) Author A. and Friends, Some Title, Some Journal, Some Year Author B. and Friends, Some Title, Some Conference, Some Year Author C. and Friends, Some Title, Some Conference, Some Year ==========

Hans— Belated thanks. I will reinstall the latest standalone and then see if I can reproduce the problem.

Period at the end of a "alignment block".
by Andre Caldas 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

I have a macro to typeset function definitions: \define[5]\functionarray { \startalign[n=4, align={left,right,center,left}] \NC #1: \NC #2 \NC \to \NC #3 \NR \NC \NC #4 \NC \mapsto \NC #5 \stopalign } I use it like this: (notice the period at the end) \startformula \functionarray{f}{X}{Y}{x}{f(x)}. \stopformula I get the following error: Display math should end with \Ustopdisplaymath ... If I remove the ".", the error does not happen. How should I implement my "functionarray"? Thanks, André Caldas.

Paragraphs: blank line instead of new line
by Xenia 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Dear context folks, I am expected to write a number of texts containing paragraphs separated by a blank line. Is there a parameter/command to set the line break between paragraphs to a blank line between the paragraphs? Thanks in advance, Xenia

Passing variables on invocation- and reading them in ConTEXt
by Ian Lawrence 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

A feeble request from me, again. I'd like to pass variables into context on invocation, just as you can do with setting modes So context --arguments="number=8", "time=full-time" --mode=trial test.tex And have the values of the variables show up in the body of the text, so: ---- \starttext Hello world % This is \getvariables{arguments}{number} it. % this does not work - what do I need here to write out the next line? This is 8. % This is \getvariables{arguments}{time} it. % Nor does this - what do I need here to write out the next line? This is full-time. \stoptext ---- As ever, I've trawled the manuals and wiki and archive emails (which is where the construct --arguments="number=8" came from.) Thanks in anticipation Ian

No cmyk support in MKIV (TexLive 2012 version)?
by Bill Meahan 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Trying to define some spot colors using the wiki examples. I get the following error message every time I run MKIV: colors > cmyk color space is not supported Here's the relevant section of my environment file: % Turn on colors. \setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=yes,spot=yes,state=start,overprint=yes] %\setupcolors[state=start] % Define the colors we want to use and give a print shop Pantone % equivalents to work with, % set up the cmyk fallbacks \definecolor [PantoneTwoNineFour] [c=1,m=.68,y=7,k=.28] \definecolor [PantoneThreeZeroZero] [c=1,m=.42,y=0,k=0] % Define tints of spot colors to be used in document for coloring text \definespotcolor [DarkBlue] [PantoneTwoNineFour] [p=1,e=PANTONE 294 PC] \definespotcolor [LightBlue] [PantoneThreeZeroZero] [p=1,e=PANTONE 300 PC] I do get the "DarkBlue" in my pdf output but no sign of the "LightBlue" anywhere. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Search path.
by Andre Caldas 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hello, list! I am really new to ConTeXt. I am writing a book http://topologia-geral.ourproject.org/ It is written in LaTeX and I intend to migrate it to ConTeXt. I want to migrate and I want to be as far from HACKS as I can. So I want to know the recommended way to do things. One of my first difficulties comes from the "search path" used by texexec. It seems to me that the path searched for components, products and environments depends on the path were the script was called from. That is, it depends on the "current working directory". My question (honestly) is: - Why would I want this behavior? When I write a project, product, component or environment file, why would I want the references I made to be dependent on the directory where the script was called? Shouldn't things be like the #include "relative_path.h" used in the C language, for example? That is, shouldn't those paths be relative to the script that refers to them? Am I missing something?

Luatex crash with x86-64 Linux binary
by Brian R. Landy 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hi, I am running the latest minimals on a 64bit Linux system and ran into a luatex crash with a specific file. I reduced the file down to a simpler version that still triggers the crash, and thought it would be of some interest to post (the resulting pdf, if generated, will be ugly since I removed a lot of formatting, and some of the code in the file may appear extraneous). I am running: $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | current version: 2012.09.06 23:03 $ luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012052410 (TeX Live 2012) What I think makes this interesting is the same file does not crash on three other setups I tested: - 32bit OS X (beta-0.70.2-2012052310) - 64bit OS X (beta-0.70.2-2012052309) - the same Linux system, but I replaced the 64bit Linux luatex binary with the 32bit Linux binary (beta-0.70.1-2012052416 (rev 4277), I see this is an older version but I downloaded directly from the minimals site today). It rebuilt caches and processed the file successfully. I updated minimals on both OS X systems today so all three systems should be otherwise identically configured. Various alterations to the file can avoid the crash; a few I found are---adding a \strut before the word jumbo, removing the nested bTABLE (this appears to be unneeded in the attached example), removing the \definefontfeature statement at the top of the file. Anyway I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees the same issue. I'm sure this is a real edge case error but hope it is helpful to track down the problem. Please let me know if there is any other debugging info you would like to see from my end. Thanks, Brian

Problem with *lettrine* module in Mk-iv
by Francisco Gracia 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

I am making my first steps in ConTeXt. I am only interested in Mk-iv and am using version 2012.09.06 23:03. I tried to explore the possibilities of the additional module *lettrine* following its documentation (*lettrine-doc.pdf*) and prepared the following example, which reproduces almost exactly the first one found in that text: \usemodule[lettrine] \starttext \lettrine {T}{he two} typeset arguments are the dropped capital and the run-in text following it; the \TeX\ source of this paragraph started with \starttyping "\usemodule[lettrine] \starttext \lettrine{T}{he two} …" \stoptyping … \stoptext When I typeset it with ConTeXt, the result was not what the documentation showed. The initial capital was fine and so was the rest of the first line, but the second line was blank and the regular text continued at the third and following lines. This was with the default value of 2 lines as size for the capital. If one indicates a greater number of lines, all of them but the first one are blank and the regular text continues after all that whitespace. As I was not completely sure that my installation of ConTeXt was unobjectable, I tried to typeset the example in *ConTeXt online* (http://live.contextgarden.net/) There the option to use *LuaTex / Mark-iv* is not offered (!!??), so I selected the *pdfTex* alternative and then it happened that everything behaved as expected (at least in the first part of the example, as some of the following commands seem not to be understood by *pdfTex*). My conclusion is that *lettrine* does not work correctly with Mark-iv and there is somewhere a bug that has to be corrected. But I could be mistaken. Am I doing something wrongly? Thanks for your interest

pre-stepwise / current
by Daniel Schopper 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

dear all, I’m trying to build a stepwise presentation, but the following minimal example (got it from the ML[1]) produces an error: ConTeXt ver: 2012.09.06 23:03 MKIV fmt: 2012.9.9 … !LuaTeX error: There should have been a lua <node> here, not an object with type string! The example compiles with standalone 2012.06.13 while it is broken from 2012.07.27 onwards. Is the stepper-module no longer supported? TIA, Daniel \usemodule[pre-stepwise] \setupinteraction[state=start,click=off] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext \StartSteps \starttabulate \NC test \FlushStep \NC test \FlushStep \NC \NR \NC test \FlushStep \NC test \FlushStep \NC \NR \NC test \FlushStep \NC test \FlushStep \NC \NR \stoptabulate \StopSteps \stoptext [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg55196.html
