Thank you, Hraban. I've already solved my problems with Lilypond guitar tab notation. ) And you are right, it's easy to include LilyPond's PDFs as externalfigure. Vyatcheslav

My opinion is, that it should be 0x2247 (the whole glyph scored out), because that would be the clear negation of the sign (similar to what \not\cong should do). Maybe provide another command for 0x2246? \congneq or \simneq for example. And many thanks for fixing this. Stefan

[bib] getting full author(s)'s name(s)
by Philipp Gesang 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Good evening, how do I retrieve an author's (or editor's) full name in the correct order (little endian: first name(s) -- surname) from a bib entry? I can do stuff like \getcitedata[author1] but that does leave me with only one of many. I'm convinced the answer lies somewhere hidden in bibl-tra.mkiv inside \complexbibdef and particularly \specialbibinsert but I can't grasp the relevant part (getting the list) of it. Thanks very much, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

[translation] Context, an excursion
by Sebastien Mengin 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi, More than a year ago, I started to participate to the translation project of the context for the beginers guide: ConTeXt, an excursion. For some reasons, I had to stop this. Now, I'd like to try again. Is this doc still accurate? I mean, does it worth to work on its translation or should I wait for another version? Thanks, -- Sébastien Mengin Édition et logiciels libres < Mise en page avec LaTeX > http://edilibre.net

some math symbols not working
by Warrence 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi, I was trying some math symbols and stumbled over the following commands, that do not work in my context documents (the comments say what's not working exactly). The pasted document works at http://live.contextgarden.net/ . I'm using the latest context-minimals as provided on the website. Is this a MkIV issue? In addition: \ncong is not aligned with = and \cong Thanks in advance! Stefan \starttext \startformula % the following give "Undefined control sequence": \gneq % \lneq works \lhd \rhd \unlhd \unrhd \Diamond % the following produce no symbol: \mapsto \hookleftarrow \longleftarrow \Longleftarrow \longrightarrow \Longrightarrow \longleftrightarrow \Longleftrightarrow \longmapsto \hookrightarrow \Join \blacksquare \bowtie \models \ncong % \cong produces the wrong symbol: it shows a dot on top of a plus, but there should be a ~ on top of = \cong \stopformula \stoptext

indent lost after \placefigure
by Tom 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

When I place a figure at the bottom of a page, everything is fine if it splits a paragraph, but if it falls between paragraphs, indentation of at least one of the paragraphs, generally the one coming after the figure, is lost. It appears that this has been a problem for some people over the years. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

zotero
by Salil Sayed 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi, Today I checked zotero plugin for openoffice and was very impressed with its functionality and ease of use. Currently I have to export my bibliographies to bibtex format from zotero and then use it through the bibtex module in context. I think this is a awkward way. Can there be a closer connection? a zotero plugin or context module? Or will it be an editor function? Forgive me if i am ignorant of any development. I searched. Best, Salil

YABQ - yet another bib question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi all, it was quite heartwarming to see how many of us rallied for better bibliographical support when Wolfgang asked what we missed most in ConTeXt... And it's wonderful to see that a new structure for the entire bibliographical stuff is on its way. Hans's xml-based approach will make things much easier than the obsolete bibtex stuff, I'm sure. In the meantime, I'm still struggling with our old bib stuff and have one question. I would like to have two different reference mechanisms for the cite commands and within the publication list. For "normal" cite commands, I would like authornum Author [1], whereas in the publicationlist itself only the num [1]. AFAICS, \setuppublications[refcommand=authornum] will influence both types. Is there a setup option for this, or is a hack needed? All best Thomas
