Counter for section heads
by Aditya Mahajan 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

I want to obtain the total number of sections at a particular depth, and thought that I could get that using \laststructurecounter{....}. But, I cannot find the name of the counter associated with sections. Is there a macro or a lua function that returns the name of a counter for the current section (that can then be used by \laststructurecounter)? Is there any other way to find the number of sections at the current depth. For example, this document ~~~ \section {one} \subsection{1} \subsection{2} \subsection{3} ~~~ has one section at depth 1 and three sectons at depth 2. Aditya

Inits without space in bibliography
by Charles 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi, I would like (the journal actually) to remove the spaces between initials (C.E. instead of C. E.). in the bibliography. It seems initials are created during the .bib to .bbl conversion but I haven't find anything in the .bst style file. Can you please help ? Thanks Charles

Fantastic snippet, thank you Wolfgang! My original code is a bit more complicated, it often (but not always) involves artist, tempo and tonality data, like this \define[1]\artist{{\itx #1}} \define[1]\bpm{{\tfx #1 bpm}}} ... \item Sway \artist{Pussycat Dolls} \bpm{136-138} \item Fly me to the moon \key{Em} \artist{Julie London} \item Hit the road jack \key{Am} \artist{Ray Charles} \bpm{94} ... How can I incorporate this optional data into song? My guess \song{Hit the road jack \bpm{94}} does not work. -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

new beta
by Hans Hagen 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. Apart from some fixes the following has been added/changed. Some are side effects of discussions at the context meeting. - Default sorting now mixes upper and lowercase. - Some presentation styles had problems loading due to changes in the structure commands. - A few improvements to the (mixed) scite lexers / spell checkers (plus an experimental pdf lexer). - Export of some math scripts (ssty related) .. an other buglet mojca and I noticed has to wait for a luatex engine fix. - An extra alignment option 'last' to center the last line. - Missing references are now listed in the log file. - Segments can be specified as n:* (as n:100 looks somewhat weird). - Virtual math has been adapted to the latest insights in open type math. However, the biggest new thing is adapted cross document referencing. This was already possible but we could not yet load external references (as in mkii). See http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-1103.pdf for how it works in mkiv. The test files cross-*.tex demonstrate a couple of things. If one uses the project structure, then one can process a component of a product and it will pick up references from the main product as well as (given normal circumstances) start at the right chapter number and page. Of course this is only a convenience option (for proofing) as there is a dependency on the state of the parent product. Given the fact that cross referencing data is spread over several data structures this was a somewhat complex exercise. As a side effect the tuc file now uses its own (temporary) namespace. Hopefully nothing breaks due to these changes. Hans ps. Wolfgang: strc-ref is now a mkvi file. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

interaction colors and page break
by Stefan Müller 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi, I think I found a small bug. The interaction colors interact strangely with page breaks in certain cases. See the following example. I'm using ConTeXt 201110003 12:59 MkIV. ################################ \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupitemize[each][n, packed] \defineenumeration[myenum][text=Enumeration, location=top] \starttext \dorecurse{9}{\input ward \par} \startmyenum[enum] \startitemize \item Go to step \in[step]. \item[step] Step. \stopitemize \stopmyenum Step \in[step] of \in{Enumeration}[enum]. These numbers shouldn't be red, should they? They are on the new page. \stoptext ################################ Best regards, Stefan.

Alphabetical sort
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi! Please, advise me what I can do to alphabetically sort an itemized list? (I have list of songs, and want them to be alphabetically sorted, as an option ). \startitemize[n] %something like 'sort' key would be very useful \item Fly me to the moon \item Hit the road jack \item Sway ... Regards, Vyatcheslav

bib bug or change in project structure ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hi, apologies if this already has been explained ... I just can't find it. Attached you may find the same minimal bib/cite test two times: 1) as standalone "bib_test.tex" 2) and as part of a project structure "chap_X.tex" With an older MkIV (2011.05.14) both had the same output. With a more recent (2011.10.01) the author name is gone, when run from within the project structure! Is this known? Thanks, Steffen

That works. Thank you very much! Coincidentally, I found a similar issue with the letter module. The table in the example below will be numbered "Table 2" \usemodule[letter] \starttext \startletter \placetable[here][]{title} \starttable[|l|] \NC That’s all \NC\MR \stoptable \stopletter \stoptext

Framed Text Split Over Multiple Pages
by Kip Warner 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hey list, I'd like my framed text to be split over multiple pages rather than leaving a big empty page before it starts so that it can fill its own whole page when large enough. This is what I am using and works fine, with the exception of no inline page breaks: \definestartstop [SubDocument] [before={ \crlf \setupbackground[frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, leftoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm, bottomoffset=0.5cm] \startbackground }, after={ \stopbackground \crlf }, commands={\setupalign[yes]}, style=italic] Then used as such: \startSubDocument ... \stopSubDocument -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

nocolor in MetaPost
by Hans van der Meer 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Is there a value that can be given to a color variable in MetaPost that might function as some sort of "no color". Thus something like NULL in the programming language C. Hans van der Meer
