Problem with \doifelse testing of UTF-8 chars
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hello, I have problem with testing of strings through \doifelse. I am loading data from external CSV file. CSV file is UTF-8 encoding. Data from external file I am reading to ConTeXt macro and I want compare content of macro (it is one utf-8 character) and other character as per example: (\onecharfromcsvfile contains one character from external CSV file) % I compare e.g. "m" character and content of macro \onecharfromcsvfile \def\result{\doifelse{m}{\onecharfromcsvfile}{true}{false} } \result is however always false When CSV file is CP-1250 encoding then macro does work right as well as classical TeX macro: \def\result{\if m\onecharfromcsvfile true\else false \fi} My question is: Just how modify macro as to work right when CSV file is UTF-8 encoding. Thanx Jaroslav PS: I was working up until now only with CP-1250 encoding, but when I started with LuaTeX (MKIV), then I have to use UTF-8. (MKIV dont work corectly with external CP-1250 files).

\doifinset
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 23 Apr '10

Hallo, on the garden at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Branches_and_Decisions one can read to the command \doifinset 'If the first string expands 'empty', it is considered to be always in the set.' But \starttext \doifinset{}{A,B,C}{should go} \stoptext seams to show that this is wrong. Is my example wrong or my understanding of the above sentence? Wolfgang

how to make uppercase characters?
by Marius 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hello, There is \uppercase command in tex, but it works just with plane characters. \uppercase{xxx} prints XXX, while \def\xxx{xxx} \uppercase{\xxx} prints "xxx", but I want "XXX". Maybe there is a ConTeXt command of \uppercase, like in LaTeX \MakeUppercase ? Thanks, Marius

Hello, I am writing an environment for a document and there should be a page with some text at the end of the document. In LaTeX I use \AtEndDocument{} command, but how does one achieve the same effect in ConTeXt? Thanks, Marius

Well almost: no compilation trouble, but an empty page with the following MCE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{etex,m-pictex,m-ch-en} \begin{document} \startchemical \chemical{2H_2,PLUS,O_2,GIVES,2H_2O} \stopchemical \end{document} Thanks! -- Denis

font, sansserif
by R. Bastian 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hello, this is an excerpt of the preambel and beginning of the text: ------------------------ \setupbodyfont[sansserif, 10pt] \setuphead[subject][textstyle=cap] %, \setupheadertexts[\^Aventiuren] \starttext \noheaderandfooterlines \tfe{}\^Aventiuren\blank\blank ... \subject{Chrono} ---------------------------- I wish for \tfe a fontsize greater than \tfd and also greater caps for \subject Is 'sansserif' a shortcut ? Is there a more analytical definition. -- René Bastian

Bibliography + citation combo
by Matija Šuklje 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hullo, a few weeks (months?) ago there was a debate on this list about sprucing up the 'bib' module. I don't know what the policy about reviving old threads is, so I started a new one. The biggest problem I had (and still do) with the 'bib' module is that I cannot directly use the data I have stored as bibliography data in the on-page citations. In my "PF_UL" style I had to introduce a few new bibfields that basically repeating the same data again. E.g. to have a list of shortened names like "J. Smith, H. Potter and G. Gray" in the on-page citation, while keeping the full names at the end of the text in the bibliography like "Smith, John; Potter, Harry and Gray, Gandalf" I now have to write for each cited work another bibfield when I add its data: --[snip]-- \newbibfield[shortauthor] \startpublication[k=zdr_komentar, a=Becan, t=knjiga, y=2008, ] \title{Zakon o delovnih razmerjih s komentarjem} \kratko{ZDR s komentarjem} \author{Irena}[I.]{}{Bečan} \author{Nataša}[N.]{}{Belopavlovič} \author{Aleksej}[A.]{}{Cvetko} \author{Miran}[M.]{}{Kalčič} \author{Marta}[M.]{}{Klampfer} \author{Polonca}[P.]{}{Končar} \author{Etelka}[E.]{}{Korpič Horvat} \author{Barbara}[B.]{}{Kresal} \author{Katarina}[K.]{}{Kresal Šoltes} \author{Janez}[J.]{}{Novak} \author{Mitja}[M.]{}{Novak} \author{Tatjana}[T.]{}{Plešnik} \author{Darja}[D.]{}{Senčur Peček} \author{Zvone}[Z.]{}{Vodovnik} \shortauthor{I. Bečan, N. Belopavlovič, A. Cvetko, M. Kalčič, M. Klampfer, P. Končar, E. Korpič Horvat, B. Kresal in drugi} \revision{} \pubyear{2008} \pubname{GV Založba} \city{Ljubljana} \isbn{} \povzetek{} \stoppublication --[snap]-- It'd be _so_ much more elegant if \nocite and \getcitedata could use manipulate the data from the \author command to do the same.
