Hi Lukáš, > Several questions: > > - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/%5Cdoif... > > The item about "\doif..." was intended to appear in the reference/en, but it doesn't. How to provide it? just insert [[Category:Reference/en|doif]] at the bottom of the page. The page should not be "http://wiki.contextgarden.net/%5Cdoif" but at "http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/doif". And it might be helpful to follow the scheme of the other commands (see the source for http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/color for example) and fill out the "form" that is inside {{ .... }}. > > - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/%5Cstartitemize > > The item "\staritemize" creates (automatic?) table of contents, but bellow the first table (why?). Is it possible 1) to avoid the TOC creation or 2) to determine another TOC location? If I remember correctly then you can say __NOTOC__ somewhere on the page that prevents creating a toc. And you should follow the example on the other references pages. > > - Why there is "%5C" in the links above? Any way how to avoid this? I'd guess that \ is an invalid character in an URL, but I don't know. We have decided to omit the \ in the command names, because all commands start with a backslash. HTH, Patrick

columnset failed in the latest beta

Minimal code: \definecolumnset[columntest][n=2,balance=yes] \definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[columntest] \startcolumnsetspan[wide] \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par} \stopcolumnsetspan \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stopcolumnset \stoptext There is no columnsetspan, and a wide frame shows up instead. -- Best Regards Chen

m-obsolete & mkii problem
by Mojca Miklavec 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Dear Hans, would it be possible to change the following line in m-obsolete.tex \writestatus\m!system{skipping obsolete module} so that it wouldn't generate errors (undefined m!system) when compiling with mkii? (I suspect that it is connected with bib module, but I'm not sure). Thanks a lot, Mojca

Page break between \title and \itemize
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hello, I used the following setup for title: \setuphead[title][style=\bfb,align=middle,after=\blank] Then, in the middle of the source code, I used: \title{A title} % Unwanted page break here! \startitemize \item ... \item ... \item ... \stopitemize But it happened that the title was placed to the bottom of a page and the item list appeared on the new page. When I removed "after=\blank" from the setup, the title and the item list got back to one page. So - the question: - Is there a parameter for \blank which would prohibit page break at the place of use? To affect the space after a head but to keep binding with the next element? BTW: There is an option "\blank[samepage]" but with a note "mkiv only?". So how - if - is this supposed to work with MKIV? Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing.

How to sort the reference by the cite sequence
by seasoul 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I want to list the cited reference in the publication list, and numbered by the citing sequence. so I use \setuppublications[alternative=num,criterium=cite,sorttype=cite] But it seems the sequence is the one in the bbl file. So i add one line to generate a bbl file by the citing sequence. \setupbibtex[database={blabla},sort=cite] This time, there is even no bbl file generated. How do i get my publication list to what I want: numbered by the citing sequence in the text?

Trouble with columns
by Alasdair McAndrew 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

I was setting up a test for my students, consisting of one page (A4 landscape), three columns. Each column consisted of a question, below which there was an empty frame in which to write the answer. The layout then was something like -- \startcolumns[n=3] \startitemize[n] \item First question \framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{} \column \item Second question \framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{} \column \item Third question \framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{} \stopitemize \stopcolumns -- All well and good - except! the second "\column" command pushed the third column onto a second page. However without that "\column", no matter what parameters I gave the page layout, the third question text would appear at the bottom of the second column. I ended up getting around this by putting a "\vskip3cm" in place of the second "\column". This worked, but seems like an ugly workaround. What's going on here - and what am I doing wrong?

\definepalet ignores transparency (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hi, the subject says it all. The question left is if this is a bug or a feature :-) Example: \starttext \definecolor[foo] [s=0,a=1,t=.5] \definepalet[bar] [foobar=foo] \blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm,color=foo] % transparent black \blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm,color=foobar] % pure black \stoptext Tested with ConTeXt beta from 26.01.2011. Sorry if this has been solved in the meantime. I still haven't found the time to adapt my 'specials'. Regards, Peter

LinearShade trouble
by Kumar Appaiah 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Dear ConTeXt list, I have been having troubles with LinearShade with ConTeXt for quite a while, even with the latest version. Steps to reproduce: There is a test.tex at the bottom of this e-mail: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580447#5 Copy paste it into the ConTeXt Live interface at the ConTeXt Garden. Result is blank. But what I expect (produced with an ancient version of ConTeXt, Debian version 2008.05.21-1): http://people.debian.org/~akumar/dump/test_expected.pdf Could you please let me know where things are going wrong? The mail has the log files attached. Thanks. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah
