context vs texinfo
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi, I was using context and I had to wait for 16 seconds for one run approximately. I switched to texinfo and it barely takes 2 seconds. Can you please explain the diffrence? I know context is complex but still? -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

\definecolumnsethsize
by Richard Stephens 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm using columnsets for a paper with 2 columns and copied an examples from the wiki and the columnsets documentation to give the following commands: \definecolumnset[colset][n=2] \setupcolumnset[colset][2][distance=5mm] \definecolumnsethsize{colset}{1}{1}\One \definecolumnsethsize{colset}{1}{2}\Two ... \placefigure[btlr][fig:ex1]{caption1}{\externalfigure[example1][width=\One]} % One column figure \placefigure[btlr][fig:ex2]{caption1}{\externalfigure[example2][width=\Two]} % Two column figure The figures appear okay, but they are quite a bit smaller than the textwidth of the columns. Can someone explain the workings of \definecolumnsethsize? I've looked at the code and it means nothing to me! The columnsets document only gives examples, no definition.

Newbie: floats with Context 2009 (Ubuntu). How do I use this workaround?
by Pascale Julia 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I am completely new to Context. I am using 2009 Context, Tex packages from Ubuntu ppa packages. >From the mailing list I got this workaround in the form of this attachment.tex file, but I can't figure in which file I have to put the macros. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/049964.html Rogutės Sparnuotos wrote: >* Marius (2010-06-04 11:30): *>>* Hello, I can't get it to work too.

Copying those macros verbatim into the test file works, so it is probably just an oversight that they do not appear elsewhere in mkiv. (see attachment) Best wishes, Taco

List of all bibliography items is empty in mkiv
by Nicola 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi, the following code results in an empty output when typeset by MKIV on my system: \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[criterium=all] \setupbibtex[database=mypublications] \starttext \placepublications \stoptext \end The same code typeset with MKII produces the list of all bibliography items in the .bib file, as expected. Is it a bug or is MKIV different in some respect? If it is a bug, is there a workaround? What I use: ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKII ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.1-2010042810 Below you find the log file.
