\cite with authornum and extras
by Stefan Müller 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hi, please consider the following example. \setupbibtex[database={sample}] \starttext \cite[alternative=authornum, extras={, p.\ 1}][Eijkhout1991] \cite[alternative=authoryear, extras={, p.\ 1}][Eijkhout1991] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext In the cite with "alternative=authornum" the "extras"-key seems to be ignored, I only get "Eijkhout [4]" while on the next line I get "Eijkhout (1991, p. 1)" with the page number as intended. What am I doing wrong? Also, if I comment the \placepublications line I get "Eijkhout [[error 2]]"... Thanks for any hints! Best regards, Stefan

Bibliography related questions
by Alexandre Krispin 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hello, I am trying to get references working with Context as well as it did with Biblatex. Since I didn't find anything helpful in the documentation and the mailing-list, I ask here. My setup at the moment is the following : \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=test] \setuppublications[alternative=apa-fr] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=darkgreen] - Can I get hyperlinks working with references in Context ? For example, with Biblatex with a citation and its reference, if I select the authoryear style, then I get : "my citation" (author year). And the reader can click on the year and be redirected to the reference in the bibliography. The year is a hyperlink. Can we get the same behaviour with Context ? - Also, I have tried to get the following pattern for my references : (author year, page number). It is the pattern of the Chicago manual of style (http://library.williams.edu/citing/styles/chicago2.php) To get this style, I have tried for example the following : \cite[extras={, p. 41}][guerrien2008theorie] But instead of the pattern (author year, page number), I get (author, year, page number). Can I remove the comma between author and year ? - Finally, is my setup wrong ? Indeed, with the setup I have copy-pasted above my bibliography remains empty. Sincerely, Alexandre Krispin

Finding Minion and Myriad
by john Culleton 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

These two fonts are in /usr/share/fonts/OTF. In that directory they are listed in fonts.dir. I want to use simplefonts to use Minion as the base font. I ran the various commands described in the Wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX and got the two fonts listed in the font database. I put the following in my MKIV context file: ... \usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module \setmainfont[minionproregular] % %\whitespace[line] \usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure] \setupalign[hanging] \setupbodyfont[minionproregular,14pt] ... Now I get a new error message: ------------------------- mtx-context.lua:675: attempt to call field 'locate_format' (a nil value) Any suggestions? -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Puhh, there is more broken. With letter style I got ! Undefined control sequence. l.13 \setupletterstyle [option][backaddress=yes] It is always a risk to update context (never change a running system). :-((( Wolfgang

Stack size
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hallo, next problem. I got ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=10000]. I tried to increase this in texmf.cnf, but this is not recognized. I tried to do the same in the texmfcnf.lua with the same negative result. It is a try and error. How is the 'modern' way to do this? BTW, shouldn't be 10000 for the stack size enough? This file is a letter and compiled ok before my update today. Wolfgang

bug in \setuparranging
by Yue Wang 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hi, Hans: There's a bug in \setuparranging. The following case is easy to be understood: - I try to typeset "zapf" into a A4 landscape paper - For the final output pdf, I want to rotate all the pages by 270 degrees. This sounds strange. But it is useful in vertical typesetting of CJK language. (for example, use xetex font definition's :vertical feature to rotate all the fonts used, typeset on normal paper, and rotate the page back. I certainly hope someday I can use MKIV's muti-dir omega features, but now it's broken so this is the best way I can find) The code is listed below: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4] \setuppaper [nx=1,ny=1] \setuparranging [XY, rotated, 270] \setupcolors [state=start] \setupbackgrounds [page][page][background=screen] \setuppagenumbering [state=stop] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext The bug: - in MKIV, it output no pages at all - in MKII (both xetex and pdftex), the output page is not, however, A4. but rather a square page with width=height=A4 height. I hope this bug can be fixed soon. By the way, are there other ways to rotate pages other than setuparranging? From my daily use I found setup arranging is pretty buggy. sometimes it even affects the layout of the contents. So most time I have to compile a pdf, and than use setup arranging to rearrange the pdf again to make the contents safe. Yue Wang

location of mtx-scripts

This doesn’t work, yet (The “t-”-infix is not, as with \usemodule, truncated). As three of my modules come with an mtx-script I just wanted to know if this will be implemented and, if yes, when we can expect it. (For me, there is no hurry as I’m quite busy otherwise. But inclusion into TL is stalled because of this for the time being.)
