Hi, I don't know if I can explain the problem I'm having. I made a project with 14 chapters. In each of them, there are graphics embedding metapost code. I proceed as follows : I compile each chapter alone with lmtx then I compile the project containing the 14 chapters. I didn't encounter any problems except with a graphic from the last chapter. It is indeed in chapter 14 but not in the project ! I give the code for this graph. Thanks.

Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)
by Gerion Entrup 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

Hi, I'm trying to customize a cite format in a bibliography. Currently, I'm using the aps style which fits so far, except of the plain number as reference. In concrete, I want to change the following: - Use the first letter of the last name and the year as reference (this should be exactly the short form). It is more less also described here [1]. - Highlight publications of a certain author with an extra char (e.g. '>') Here is a minimal example (lets assume, every occurrence of Knuth should be highlighted): ``` \setupinteraction[state=start] \startbuffer[testdata] @Book{knuth1, author = {Donald E. Knuth}, title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting}, year = {1979}, publisher = {Addison-Wesley}, } @Article{someother, author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson}, title = {Another title}, year = {1900}, } \stopbuffer % enable tracing \enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details, publications.cite, publications.strings] \usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \setupbtx[dataset=main] \definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main] % this seems to have no effect? \setupbtx[alternative=short] \starttext Knuth developed \TeX \cite[knuth1]. Several persons said something \cite[someother]. \placelistofpublications[bibrendering] \stoptext ``` It should be rendered as: ``` Knuth developed TeX [>Knu79]. Several persons said something [PO00]. [Knu79] D.E. Knuth, TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting (Addison-Wesley, 1979). [PO00] S. Person and S. Otherperson, Another title, (1900). ``` How can I achieve that \cite[something] always renders in the short form by default? How can I customize that references to Knuth contain this extra '>'? How can I customize the APS style to also use the short form in the list of publications instead of numbers?

Hi all, I’m slightly embarrassed because this should be easy, but I can’t figure out how to do this: in the tuc/tua file, I have the complete references of my document. How can I access it from within my Lua code? For instance, something like utilitydata.structures.references.collected.”MyReference”.references.realpage How can this be accessed?

thank you. just tried, not worked out yet. Here it is my text: ``` setuplist[height=0] \startitemize[n] \item It's impossible --- don't waste my time. \item It's possible, but not worth doing. \item I said it was a good ideal all along. \stopitemize ``` Now the distance between the items is equal to the blank space between paragraphs.

Why don't footnotes appear in floats or figures?
by Joel 24 Apr '24

24 Apr '24

I'm three days out from sending my work to an editor, and found some serious problem: many footnotes just aren't rendering. I have a history text that uses ConTeXt-SBL for the citations, as such, it has lots of footnotes. Sometimes the footnotes are just in the main text, but sometimes also in figure captions, inside floats, inside tables that are inside floats, inside tabulations inside floats, etc. What I find alarming is it is frequently not rendering all of the footnote messages at the bottom of the page. The actual footnote number within the body is rendered, but no number is listed in at the bottom of the page. So I might see a list of footnotes, for instance, on page 1, I only get footnotes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, but 4 was mysteriously skipped. ---------------1 message2 message3 message5 message6 message After a lot of trial-and-error and checking logs and checking my BibTeX files for errors, running everything through BibTex Tidy, etc., and failures to make a minimum working example, I found a single pattern: If the footnote marker appears on the SAME page as the footnote text, it has no problem rendering the footnote. But, if ConTeXt decides to move a float a page or two later on--as it frequently seems to do---such that the footnote marker and footnote text at bottom of page should be on DIFFERENT pages, the footnote message at the bottom of the page won't render. I've seen some 2+ year old mailing list posts suggesting ConTeXt might have issues with footnotes; they appear to be similar to my issue--is that still a problem? Is there a fix or workaround? Old fixes I could finding in the mailing list don't seem to work with current versions of ConTeXt anymore. --Joel

Why are ConTeXt-SBL endnotes empty?
by Joel 22 Apr '24

22 Apr '24

A few years back, I tried using endnotes with ConTeXt-SBL, and it failed to compile. I'm forced to try again (due to some other issue with footnotes), and instead of compiling to error, it compiles, but the footnote's message ends up being empty. Why is it appearing empty? Is there a fix? Here is a minimum working example: \usemodule[publ-imp-sbl] \startbuffer [bib] @Article{na2006, title={Volcanoes \word{of} New Mexico}, year={2006}, journal={New Mexico Earth Matters}, publisher={New Mexico Bureau \word{of} Geology \word{and} Mineral Resources}, volume={6}, number={1}, location={Socorro, New Mexico} } @Book{clark1989, author = {Clark, William}, title = {Railroads \word{and} railroad towns \word{in} New Mexico}, publisher = {New Mexico Magazine}, year = {1989}, address = {Albuquerque, New Mexico}, isbn = {9780937206126} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[bib.buffer] \setupbtx[dataset=default] \usebtxdefinitions[sbl] \setupbtx[sbl] \setupnote[footnote][location=none] \starttext \input knuth \cite[clark1989] \placenotes[footnote] \startchapter[title=Bibliography] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter \stoptext --Joel

How to isolate serious errors from warnings?
by Joel 20 Apr '24

20 Apr '24

I'm about to have a lengthy (2,000+ page) document published. Normally if it compiles and looks okay, I regard that as meaning no errors appeared, but I've noticed that sometimes ConTeXt will still compile, even if something isn't displayed on screen as it should: (1) I tried placing a table inside a startitemize environment, as instead of it not compiling, it left a message in the document warning that wasn't supported. (2) In another case, I had an image that ConTeXt couldn't find, as I mispelled the filenmame, and it fully compiled and made a PDF, without me noticing. (3) Or maybe in some case, a font couldn't be found for a specific character, so a single character in the file isn't displaying. Those are just some examples; I intended for something to be printed on the PDF, but it isn't showing there. Since a document of this size will have a lot of messages, is there a way to adjust the settings, from "show everything" to "show some" to "show only serious errors"? Or maybe to use > to send the errors to another file for careful study? (using Linux if that matters) --Joel

Most recent context doesn't like synctex?
by Jim 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

Hi, I have both TeXlive 2024 and the stand-alone ConTeXt distribution on my system. Recently, the stand-alone ConTeXt distribution seems to not create a synctex file any more. Specifically, /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context --once --texutil --synctex=1 --nonstop file.tex does not create a .synctex file (and deletes it, if it is there), whereas the TeXlive version /usr/local/texlive/2024/bin/x86_64-linux/context --once --texutil --synctex=1 --nonstop nwg_newsletter_2024_04.tex does create the .synctex file. The ConTeXt distribution version *does* create the file if --nonstop is *not* used. Knowing that, I can work around this for now, although emacs+auctex probably won't be happy without --nonstop. I updated the stand-alone ConTeXt a few minutes ago, so I'm up to date on that. Is this a bug introduced by some recent change? Thanks. Jim

That seems to be a bit tricky, at least for me. (I'm afraid that \getmarking[xxx][top] was intended for that and it is not feasible at all.) At page 1 the header should read "secA", at page 2 again "secA" (because the very first text belongs to "secA"), and at page 3 "secC" (because the very first text (the section title) belongs to "secC"). Unfortunatly \getmarking[][] does not behave like I expacted. I understand the keywords of \getmarking in the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking) as listed below: • previous: marking at the bottom of the page BEFORE the current page (no page before then empty) • next: marking at the top of the page AFTER the current page (no page after then bottom of current page) • top: marking at the top of the current page • bottom: marking at the bottom of the current page • first: first marking that starts at the current page (no first than behaving like top) • last: last marking that starts at the current page (no last than behaving like bottom) • current: last stored marking while deciding on pagebreaking between the current page and the (potential) following page • default: first According to these thoughts, I started with \getmarking[Datum][top]. But "top" seems not to work, there is no difference between "top" and "first", "top" behaves like "first". My second thought: Generally \getmarking[Datum][first] would be perfect, so I've thought something like \doifelse{\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the page before the current page}{\fetchmark[Datum][previous]} {\getmarking[Datum][previous]} {\getmarking[Datum][first]} could work. (Honestly I don't know how to do "\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the page before the current page}". The first page would need a special treatment too.) But: At page 2 \getmarking[Datum][next] (Nx) contains "secB" but at top of page 3 is not "secB" but "secC". So \getmarking[Datum][next] does not seem to contain the correct information I need, therefore I don't get any further. Any ideas: How do I write the marking of the very first text at the current page to the header? Thank you in advance, Matthias

Wiki - question about Command/ pages which start with a space character
by garulfo＠azules.eu 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

Hi all, Is it on purpose that 128 pages "https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/ xxxxxxxx" start with a space character ? I didn't find an explanation in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command For example, these two pages exist : - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startbuffer - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/_startbuffer If it is on purpose: - What is the purpose, and which page should contain which documentation? If it is not: - Is there a way to automatically merge the content of the couple of pages, and to remove the "wrong" pages, or should it be done manually ? Thanks for your help.

Back in the 90s

Hello, I was reading about the history of ConTeXt in the Not So Short Introduction To ConTeXt and I have a historical question. I noticed that the PDF specification was published in 1993 yet ConTeXt was invented in 1991. The book suggests that PDF output was handled by the PdfTeX engine in MKII in 2005. What sort of output did the software produce before PdfTeX was introduced? Was this the same as the output produced by the software before the publication of the PDF specification? Kind regards, Riviera she, her, hers https://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:River
