More bibl-apa.tex modifications
by Pontus Lurcock 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hello, I have found another minor problem in the bibl-apa style (ConTeXt v. 2011.02.25 22:03), this time for Master's theses, which get an extra space between the phrase ‘Master's Thesis,’ and the university's name and address, thus: Smith, A. B. (2000). A Thesis Title. Master's thesis, City, Country: University of Something. I think this would be better as: Smith, A. B. (2000). A Thesis Title. Master's thesis. City, Country: University of Something. (This also changes the comma to a dot.) I have implemented this with the following modifications to bibl-apa.tex (original lines commented out, mine inserted afterwards): ---- \setuppublicationlayout[mastersthesis]{% \insertauthors{}{ }{}% \insertpubyear{(}{). }{}% \inserttitle{\bgroup }{\egroup \insertseries{ (}{)}{}. }{}% \insertbibtype{}{.}{Master's thesis.}% % \insertbibtype{}{, }{Master's thesis, }% \insertpublisher{ }{.}{.}% % \insertpages{ }{p. }{}% \insertpages{ }{ p. }{}% \insertnote{ }{.}{}% } \setuppublicationlayout[phdthesis]{% \insertauthors{}{ }{}% \insertpubyear{(}{). }{}% \inserttitle{\bgroup\it }{\egroup \insertseries{ (}{)}{}. }{}% % \insertbibtype{}{, }{PhD thesis,}% \insertbibtype{}{.}{PhD thesis.}% \insertpublisher{ }{.}{.}% \insertpages{ }{ p. }{}% \insertnote{ }{.}{}% } ---- This also incorporates three other changes: changing the comma after ‘PhD thesis’ to a dot; removing the space after the punctuation in the PhD bibtype ‘after’ group (only used if type is specified); and adding a space to the start of the pages ‘after’ group. I hope that these can be incorporated, if they meet with agreement. Aside: this still doesn't correspond to current official APA style (though it's a bit closer), but I'm not sure how many people care about that. In my case I only care that my bibliography doesn't show obvious weirdness like double spaces. Here's a minimal example to show the behaviour (the spacing=packed makes it clearer where the extra space appears): ---- \startpublication[k=mcmillan1993abbotsford,t=phdthesis, a={{McMillan}},y=1993, n=150,s=McM93] \author[]{S.~G.}[S.~G.]{}{McMillan} \title{The Abbotsford Formation} \pubyear{1993} \pubname{University of Otago} \city{Dunedin, New Zealand} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=vondobeneck1985gesteinsmagnetische,t=mastersthesis, a={{von Dobeneck}},y=1985, n=483,s=vD85] \author[]{T.}[T.]{von}{Dobeneck} \pubyear{1985} \title{{Gesteinsmagnetische Untersuchungen an tiefseesedimenten des Sudatlantiks}} \pubname{Inst.

[***SPAM***] Minimals ignores structureblockenvironment for frontmatter etc.
by Tom 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Minimals MKIV ignores the structureenvironment blocks when the suffix is 'matter' but applies them if the suffix is 'part.' Furthermore, they are applied in \starttext if between \startfrontmatter -- \stopfrontmatter, etc. blocks and error if between \startfrontpart -- \stopfrontpart, etc. blocks. The following code executes but does not apply the environment block commands. Commenting out the three \startstructureblockenvironment commands with 'matter" arguments and uncommenting the three 'part' commands will cause the environment block commands to be executed. Ironically, the \start-\stop pairs between \starttext and \stoptext error if 'part' is used but execute if 'matter.' \def\MyFrontMatterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=off,align=middle,width=broad] {\switchtotypeface[ChapterStart] #2}} \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=off] {\vbox{\centerline{\headtext{chapter} #1}\par\blank{\centerline{#2}}}}} \definepagebreak[mychapterpagebreak][yes,header,right] \startstructureblockenvironment[frontmatter] %ignored if frontmatter, applied if frontpart %\startstructureblockenvironment[frontpart] \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location=bottom,conversion=romannumerals] \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyFrontMatterCommand,textstyle=\ss\bfd, header=empty,footer=chapter,page=mychapterpagebreak, number=no,after={\blank[0.5in]}] \stopstructureblockenvironment \startstructureblockenvironment[bodymatter] %ignored if bodymatter, applied if bodypart %\startstructureblockenvironment[bodypart] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=] \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location=bottom,conversion=numbers] \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyChapterCommand,textstyle=\ss\bfd, header=empty,footer=chapter,page=mychapterpagebreak, after={\blank[0.5in]},before={\blank[force,1.0in]} \placeinitial] \stopstructureblockenvironment \startstructureblockenvironment[backmatter] %ignored if back, applied if backpart %\startstructureblockenvironment[backpart] \setuphead[title] [command=\MyFrontMatterCommand,textstyle=\ss\bfd, header=empty,footer=chapter,page=mychapterpagebreak, number=no,after={\blank[0.25in]}] \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyFrontMatterCommand,textstyle=\ss\bfd, header=empty,footer=chapter,page=mychapterpagebreak, number=no,after={\blank[0.25in]}] \stopstructureblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter % errors if startfrontpart %sample front matter \input knuth \completecontent[alternative=c,criterium=all] \chapter{Preface} \input knuth \chapter{Introduction} \input knuth \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter %errors if startbodypart \chapter{I Was Born} \input knuth \chapter{I Observe} Lorem {\index{lorem}}ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

pdfboxes (mkiv)

Hi Hans, there is a typo in lpdf-mis.lua local function pagespecification() local pageheight = tex.pdfpageheight local box = pdfarray { -- can be cached boxvalue(leftoffset), boxvalue(pageheight-topoffset-height), ^^ should be "+" boxvalue(width-leftoffset), boxvalue(pageheight-topoffset), } lpdf.addtopageattributes("CropBox",box) -- mandate for rendering lpdf.addtopageattributes("TrimBox",box) -- mandate for pdf/x -- lpdf.addtopageattributes("BleedBox",box) -- lpdf.addtopageattributes("ArtBox",box) end I hate to use Acrobat for the pdf boxes, because it 'ruins' the PDF :-) Regards, Peter

Table of Contents entries without page numbers
by Tom 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

It is relatively easy to create table of contents entries without chapter numbers, but I can't figure out how to include entries without page numbers. I want to place a title page, 'Appendices,' in the ToC after the last chapter and before the first appendix. I can easily create the page using \title{Appendices} but it doesn't show up in the ToC. Using \chapter{Appendices} creates a ToC entry with a page number and an appendix number, which can be eliminated. There must be some way of placing headers within a ToC.

Producing quotesingle glyph
by Pontus Lurcock 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hello, This may be a stupid question, but I can't work out how to produce the ' character (quotesingle, unicode 0x0027) glyph in a document. Just typing the character in the source produces a quoteright as expected. Here are my other attempts: \starttext \quotesingle \getnamedglyphdirect{lm}{quotesingle} \uchar{00}{39} \stoptext They all produce quoteright as well. Does anyone have a better suggestion? I'm using MkIV, version 2011.02.25 22:03. Thanks, Pont

beware: fontclass ignored
by Reviczky, Adam 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hi Using context experimental 2011.03.18 I get this line when using definebodyfontenvironment: fonts > beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) Minimal example: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/definebodyfontenvironment %%% \starttext \definefontsize[e] \definebodyfontenvironment [default] [b=4,e=10] This will be {\tfb really} {\bfe Huge} \stoptext %%% This also happens for the s-map-10 module, which seems to be broken anyway. What is the proper use of definebodyfontenvironment then? Adam

Text with background (overlay with a line by MP)
by Procházka Lukáš 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hello, I'm trying to create an overlay - text with a line drawn bellow. The following code: --- \defineoverlay[Label][\useMPgraphic{Label}] \startuniqueMPgraphic{Label} path p; p := (0,0) -- (OverlayWidth,0); draw p yshifted -1cm withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .667red; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \def\Text#1{\inframed[background=Label,frame=off]{#1}} \starttext AAA \Text{BBB} CCC \stoptext --- results in a horizontal line going exactly through the middle of the text. And I'd like to draw it bellow; thus "yshifted -1cm". How to do it? Best regards, Lukas

more "missing or ungrouped '=' after"
by Reviczky, Adam 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hi I'm getting the same lines by using setupfields (in widgets), but this time I don't even get an output. Here's the minimal example: %%% \starttext \setupfields [label,frame,horizontal] [offset=4pt,height=fit,framecolor=green,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.80] [height=40pt,width=100pt,align=middle,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] [height=40pt,width=100pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] \setupfield[widget][] \definefield [Emaila] [line] [widget] [] [pragma.ade(a)wxs.nl] \field [Emaila] [your email] \stoptext %%% This runs fine and works as expected with the 2011.02.25 beta. Running it with the 2011.03.18 experimental I get these lines and NO output: check > missing or ungrouped '=' after 'frame' in line 7 (@@fdlabel check > missing or ungrouped '=' after 'horizontal' in line 7 (@@fdlab Also I ran into the fact that the general setup settings (setupfields) are not inherited (most likely due to the problem above). Maybe Hans is working on the fld file (as the timestamp suggests), but since I had a similar problems yesterday I better ask first. Any hints appreciated Adam

Different fontsize in header and footer
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

I thought I saw it once, but I can not find it. I like to use another fontsize in my headers and footers. At the moment I have solved it in this way: \setupfootertexts[{\switchtobodyfont[6pt]Pagina \pagenumber \space van \lastpage}] But then I have to do this everywhere I change the text for header/footer. Is there a way to set the fontsize (and font) globally? -- Cecil Westerhof
