\completepublications without criterium gives no publications at all?
by Julian Becker 11 May '11

11 May '11

I just encountered a problem when running the following, using the sample.bib given in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/sample_bib) The list of References is emtpy. If I added the argument "[criterium=text]" to \completepublications, it produces the correct result (it prints out the list of references), but if I put that as an additional parameter in setuppublications as "\setuppublications[alternative=apa,criterium=text]", again: no list of references. Is this a bug? or maybe I haven't used the correct setup? Julian -------- \setupbibtex[database={sample},sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \starttext Hier ein zitat: \cite[hh2010a]. \completepublications \stoptext ----------- -- "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for it is the wellspring of life."

“deo” patterns?
by Philipp Gesang 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hey all, the “deo” hyphenation does not appear to be accessible anymore. ··8<····························································· %\mainlanguage [deo] % neither of \language [deo] % these two works \starttext Fluß, Guß, Stuß. \stoptext ··8<····························································· Which makes context throw a “! Conflicting pattern ignored.” error over here. Did something change? If so, this should be reflected on the wiki. Thanks, Philipp

Unskipping punctuation
by Florian Wobbe 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hi, is it possible to '\unskip' the last comma or period? This would be handy for defining the publication layout using \setuppublicationlayout. I have bibtex entries ending with period and adding another one looks odd. Thanks, Florian

Bibliography and multiple years of the same author
by Florian Wobbe 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hi, how do I get an additional space after the comma separating the years in this cite? (Hagen, 2010b,2011) --> (Hagen, 2010b, 2011) Minimal example: \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications[alternative=apa, refcommand=authoryears] \starttext \cite[hh2010a, hh2011] \stoptext Also add the following entry to sample.bib: @ARTICLE{hh2011, author = hh, title = {The Font Name Mess (II)}, journal = {MAPS}, year = {2011}, volume = {41}, pages = {2-8}, keywords = {context}, } Thanks, Florian

How to create a breakable text box inside math equation?
by Mojca Miklavec 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hello, This is probably a very trivial question, but I'm not sure how TeX works in that respect. I'm used to use a macro \def\unit#1{{\rm\ #1} in constructs such as $1\unit{cm^2} \times 2\unit{cm}$. However I figured out that the contents of \unit{} cannot be broken accross lines, most probably because this becomes an hbox. Is there any simple workaround? Thanks a lot, Mojca

handouts blank
by Reviczky, Adam 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hi, I'm trying to make some (mkiv) handouts from my simpleslides presentation. Unfortunately the resulting pdf is blank for the slides, no frames either. Can someone give me an example that works? Here's my minimal: % slides.tex \usemodule[simpleslides][style=BigNumber,font=Helvetica] \setupTitle [title={Title}, author={Author}, date={\currentdate}] \starttext \placeTitle \SlideTitle{Title2} content \SlideTitle{Title3} content \stoptext % handout.tex \setuppapersize [A4][A4] % or [A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout [header=0pt,footer=1cm,backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm,width=middle,height=middle] \setupfootertexts [presentation---\currentdate\space---\space\pagenumber] \starttext \combinepages[slides][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on] \stoptext I also tried it with the standard presentation examples and using .tex and .pdf suffixes for the combinepages command.

mtxrun --script metapost and fonts?
by Michal Kvasnička 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hallo. I've got a problem with metapost -> pdf translation. Since mptopdf is still broken in the last ConTeXt beta in the minimal distribution, I use "mtxrun --script metapost --split". It works well, only it ignores font setting. My code is like this: verbatimtex \definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec] \definetypeface [times] [mm] [math] [times] [default] [encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont [times,10pt] etex; beginfig(1); label(btex A $a_i$ etex,origin); endfig; end. I believe that the code in the verbatimtex ... etex environment should switch the major font to Times (it works with "texexec --mptex"). However, it is ignored by the "mtxrun --script metapost --split" script---Computer Modern in 12pt is used instead of Times in 10pt. Is there any way around this problem? Many thanks for your help. Best wishes, Michal Kvasnicka

formula numbering in unnumbered sections
by Julian Becker 10 May '11

10 May '11

I came across the following problem recently: In my document I want chapters and sections to be numbered, but not subsections, subsubsections etc. Then, additionally I want my formulae to be numbered by chapter and section, but not subsection. In the following example the first equation gets numbered correctly as (1.1), (1.2) and (3) in the first chapter, and as (2.1), (2.2) and (3) in the second chapter respectively, which is not what I wanted. I'd rather have the formulae numbered as (1.1), (1.2) and (1.3) in the first chapter, and as (2.1), (2.2) and (2.3). Anybody has an idea how to accomplish this? Thanks, Julian ----------------- \setuphead[subsection][number=no] \setupnumber[formula][key=chapter] \starttext \chapter{Wake up} \placeformula \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \section{Make Coffee} \placeformula \startformula c^2+d^2=e^2 \stopformula \subsection{Now waking up for real} \placeformula \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \chapter{Wake up again} \placeformula \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \section{Make Coffee again} \placeformula \startformula c^2+d^2=e^2 \stopformula \subsection{Now waking up for real} \placeformula \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \stoptext ------------- "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for it is the wellspring of life."

Bibtex to bbl-file conversion
by finkler 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hello there, somehow texexec (in the latest minimal distribution) does not convert my bibtex-file correctly into an bbl-file. ------------------------- My bibtex file: @BOOK{Fowler2006, author = {Fowler, C. M. R.}, year = {2006}, title = {The Solid Earth. An Introduction to Global Geophysics}, location = {New York}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, pages = {685}, edition = {2} } The resulting bbl-file: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={Fow06},totalnumber=1] \startpublication[k=Fowler2006,t=book, a={{Fowler}},y=2006, n=1,s=Fow06] \author[]{C.~M.~R.}[C.~M.~R.]{}{Fowler} \pubyear{2006} \title{The Solid Earth. An Introduction to Global Geophysics} \pubname{Cambridge University Press} \edition{2} \stoppublication ---------------------------- As you can see, "pages" is omitted, and another problem is that I'd like to have "location" converted to "city"; is this possible? Can someone give me some hints as solve my problems, why does texexec not recognize the "pages" variable? regards, finkler
