"standard" for bibliographies
by Mojca Miklavec 10 May '12

10 May '12

There used to be discussions about some "common standard" for storing bibliographies. I'm testing http://www.mendeley.com/ and would like to export to ConTeXt-friendly database (bibtex export is supported). It seems that for that one would have to use http://citationstyles.org/ so I will try to figure out if "The Citation Style Language" can be used to export data to what is currently required by ConTeXt. But if you are thinking about xml-based format for the future, it might be worth taking a look at the second website. Mojca

Units or px
by Kip Warner 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hey list, ConTeXt 2012.05.08 13:45 reports that the units module is deprecated and to use the px module in its place. Is it telling the truth or is this a harmless warning? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

I haven't used texshop in at least seven years. There's a section on the wiki on it, have you followed it? http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone/Mac_Installation Thomas

Mkiv is moving quite fast, so if you really need to use mkiv, this is way too old. Be warned though: things have changed pretty dramatically over the past 6 months or so, so if this is for something with a tight deadline, I wouldn't just simply update. Install an additional context tree somewhere and see if your documents still compile. Thomas

\doifolderversionelse
by Peter Rolf 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi, I tried to handle some version changes with \doifolderversionelse. Sadly it does not work here. Example: \starttext \doifolderversionelse\contextversion{1010.10.10} {OLDER} {OKAY}% => OLDER \doifolderversionelse\contextversion{2020.20.20} {OLDER} {OKAY}% => OKAY \doifolderversionelse\contextversion{2020} {OLDER} {OKAY}% => OKAY \stoptext Tested with ConTeXt version 2011.11.08 and 2012.05.08 Result is always "older".

japanese spaced
by Steffen Wolfrum 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi, if a paragraph is set to align=block the space between words can be stretched. If eg. a japanese word is mentioned in such a paragraph the space between the japanes characters gets spaced/stretched too (see example attached). This may be right for japanese texts, but it is wrong if the main/surrounding language is not japanese (and thus no additional space between characters is wanted). What is an easy way to avoid this? \definestartstop [Japaned] [commands={\language[jp]\DoNotSpace}]?? Steffen -------

Font for MetaPost graphics
by Marco 10 May '12

10 May '12

The wiki claims setting up an MPenvironment is enough to change the font in MetaPost graphics: \startMPenvironment%[global] \switchtobodyfont [sans] \stopMPenvironment \starttext This should be serif. \startMPcode draw textext("This should be in sans."); \stopMPcode \stoptext However, this has no effect. All text is in default serif font. If [global] is provided, all text is in sans font. I am aware of a similar issue in a thread last year¹, but the solution didn't really address the problem. textext("\sans This should be sans.") works here, but the point is that the MPenvironment fails. Why is that? Marco [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/69044

switching to a different math font (with alternatives) in the middle of document
by Mojca Miklavec 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hello, I'm just wonderding if there is a way to switch to an OpenType Math font (referred to by name or filename, without any predefined typescript) with some stylistic alternative in the middle of the document, like in the LaTeX example: running text ... \setmathfont[Scale=0.86,StylisticSet=4]{Lucida Bright Math OT} $\mathcal{ABC XYZ}$~(StylisticSet=4) ... running text ... \setmathfont{Asana Math} $\mathfrak{ABC XYZ\,abc xyz}$ or do I always need to provide a predefined typescript? How does one switch between stylistic alternatives for math? I have a problem with {\switchtobodyfont[asana] $\mathscript ABC XYZ\,abc xyz$} and I also need to figure out how to get "math bold italic sans serif greek alphabet". Any hints welcome. Thank you, Mojca
