Unnumbered chapters (titles) etc in TOC
by Marcin Borkowski 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi, I tried this: \definecombinedlist[content][chapter,title,subject,section] \setuphead[title,subject][incrementnumber=list] \starttext \placecontent \title{Unnumbered chapter} \subject{First} \subject{Second} \chapter{Numbered chapter} \section{Third} \section{Fourth} \stoptext and I have a few questions. 1. If I replace \definecombinedlist with \setupcombinedlist (which seems natural, given that "content" is already defined), it stops working; why? 2. The \setuphead line seem to be necessary; why? 3. And the worst: indenting of \titles and \subjects is the same (and of \subsubjects also, if I add them). How to change this? Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

Too much space in fractions
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Dear list, With \starttext $a/b$ and $1/2$ \stoptext I get too much space between a and /, and betwen / and b (and between 1 and /, and between / and 2). This was not so in earlier versions of ConTeXt (not sure when it first appeared). Is there some option I should change or is it a bug? Best regards, Mikael PS I attach the output I get, together with the similar LaTeX output (which looks like I (as a mathematician) am used to)

starting cambria font?
by Hans van der Meer 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Maybe someone more knowledgeable about fonts can tell what is amiss. I typeset my documents in Lucida Bright with Lucida Math from the old pfb's (the orf version not being available). But there are some gaps in Lucida's math fonts and its implementation in ConTeXt. So I started to switch to another one, at least for the time being, and thought cambria would be the one as I have seen some people on this list about it. But changing t{lucida,sans,12pt} to {cambria,sans,12pt} doesn't work for me. I get an error: ! Missing font identifier. system > tex > error on line 35 in file syllabus-test.tex: Missing font identifier … .. <to be read again> \*cambria7ptmmmr33* \@@ff:cambria:12pt:mm:mr: ... \*cambria7ptmmmr33* \scriptfont \mrfam \*cambr... \dosetmathfamily ...c!mm :#2:\fontsize \endcsname \else \dosetmathfamilyinde... I have downloaded the beta: ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.23 18:58 MKIV Is this one incomplete? Or are the cambria fonts not free? I would appreciate some enlightment. Hans van der Meer

FLOW chart module broken

Hi Hans, unfortunately the FLOWchart module is broken. The breaking over pages does not seem to work.

Resetting references or local references?
by Otared Kavian 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Dear all, Is it possible to have a sort of « local references for formulas » or else to clear previous references to formulas at a certain point? In a chapter where a certain number of exercices and formulas are to be numbered, assume I have the following minimal example %%%%%%%%% begin \starttext Exercice 1. Prove that if $ab=ba$ and $2ab=0$ then \placeformula[eq:1] \startformula (a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2. \stopformula Using the identity (\in[eq:1]) prove that $(a=b)^{2n} = a^{2n} + b^{2n}$. \blank[big] \hrule \blank[big] Exercice 2. Prove that for any integer $n$ \resetnumber[formula] %\reset[formulas][references] \placeformula[eq:2] % I would like the reference to be [eq:1] \startformula (\cos(x) + {\rm i}\sin(x))^n = \cos(nx) + {\rm i} \sin(nx). \stopformula Using the identity (\in[eq:2]) % I would like here to say [eq:1] compute $\cos{3x}$. \stoptext %%%%%%%%% end I would like to be able to have the equations numbered within each exercise (which is in fact defined through an enumeration environment), and be able to have the reference to each formula « local » within that exercise. The resaon is that the execises and problems may have several equations which are referenced to with [eq:1] through [eq:10] (say…), and have been prepared and given previously to students on independent sheets. When I want to give out a booklet of all the exercises, then it would be handy to have such a feature. I understand that I am not being very clear… Hope someone would understand what I mean and need :-) Best regards: OK

The problem now is that the footnote sits inside of textbackground boxes at the bottom of them. I'd like them instead at the bottom of the page with the rest of my footnotes. How is this done?

Graphics in text-line
by Robert Blackstone 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

Dear list, Would it be possible to insert a tiny graphic, not larger than a capital M, into a textline? I am presently making a bilingual version of a sixteenth century French musical treatise, and I would like to copy as much as possible the typographic features of the original in the modern version, both French and a translation. In the original French edition some text lines contain musical symbols, not only the sharp, flat and natural characters but also some others, of which I can make graphics (png or pdf). I can place these praphics in the margin and even in a footnote (although with rather too much space above it) but I would prefer to have them in their text line. Is that doable? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

strange behavior with apa and apa-fr bibliographic styles
by Alexandre Krispin 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

Hello, I have noticed that, for a reason I don't understand, dots after dates in the bibliography are not placed in the same manner. For example, I get (copy-paste from pdf) : Morales, I. (1997) . The mexican crisis and the weakness of the NAFTA consensus. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 550 :130-152. Morales, I.(1999). NAFTA : The governance of economic openness. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 565 :35-65. Robey, J. S. (1999) . Civil society and NAFTA : Initial results. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 565 :113-125. Totman, C. (1980) . From Sakoku to Kaikoku. The Transformation of Forei- gn-Policy Attitudes, 1853-1868. Monumenta Nipponica, 35(1) :1-19. So for the first entry, the point after (1997) is placed after a space, whereas it is not the case for the second entry (there is also no space between I. and (1999)). In some cases (when I add more entries), I even have the point before the parenthesis, though the bib file might be right (or in any cases, since the field are completed in the same manner, I didn't expected different behaviors in the result since it is automatized and all fields are articles). Here is the bib file : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @article{conrad1980transformation, author = "Conrad Totman", title = "From {S}akoku to {K}aikoku. {T}he {T}ransformation of {F}oreign-{P}olicy {A}ttitudes, 1853-1868", journal = "Monumenta Nipponica", year = 1980, volume = 35, number = 1, pages = "1-19", publisher = "Sophia University", url = "http://www.jstor.org/stable/2384397", } @article{robey1999civil, author = "John S.
