Unicode question
by Manfred Lotz 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi all, If I run this minimal example \starttext � \stopluacode \stoptext I get tex error > error on line 3 in file /data/tmp/u1.tex: ! String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence and some more lines. The character above is: Character: � Character name: REPLACEMENT CHARACTER Charblock: Specials Category: Other symbol Unicode: U+fffd UTF8: 0xefbfbd which is a valid utf8 character. Questions: 1. Why is it considered to be invalid? 2. Are there other valid utf8 characters which are considered invalid? Just wanting to understand. -- Manfred

Hanging indent
by Willi Egger 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hello everybody, Currently I am typesetting a small dictionary. I want to have hanging indents if the text joined to the expression is longer than one line. In the past I had this definitions: \defineblank[Afterhangingparagraph][1pc] \starttext \def\Hangindent{\hangafter=1\hangindent=1em} \definestartstop[HangPar] [before={\bgroup\appendtoks\Hangindent\to\everypar}, after={\egroup\blank[Afterhangingparagraph]}] \starttext \startHangPar \input knuth \stopHangPar \startHangPar {\bf Aanslaan,} aanspreken. Een poging in 't werk stellen. Ik zal dat heertje reis aanslaan. Sla dien broger (man) aan, misschien heeft hij poen (geld). Jongens, er moet aangeslagen worden, daar loopt mooi gajes (menschen daar wat van te halen is). \stopHangPar \stoptext The strange thing is, that the first two paragraphs of the Knuth-text is showing a hanging indent, however the last paragraph does not which is unexpected. In the example from the dictionary no hanging indentation is shown. What do I mis here? Kind regards Willi

Hi!

How to properly put information into contextwiki

12 Mar '15

Hello list. I tried in vain to find some information on how to properly load some things into http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ I tried to insert there thing I have not found there (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/defineformula) but I could not find how to classify this page to a hierarchy (in this case into the section commands). They are somewhere about some information? Or has the final classification in charge of an administrator, etc? Thanks for the link to some information. I would like to wiki occasionally contributed something, but I've somehow fundamentally not orienting. Thanks Jaroslav Hajtmar

But it really interests me and I do need it. First of all, I compiled the ME and added a number of my own .bib entries and they all came out well. It looks as if I can just continue use my existing BibTex database in the new system and continue using BibDesk for new items, which is a very good thing. No need to generate .bbl’s separately. (Though I hope that ConTeXt will keep the possibility to process .bbl’s as before.) My questions are: 1 The ME contains no setup, no indication of a particular Bibliography style. What comes out in the ME looks like apa. Are there style files connected with this system? If so are they accessible for tweaking (I need some rather uncommon Bibliography style, sort of apa-like but different in many details)? 2 The \cite-command turns out just some number in square brackets, no info on what is cited. Is that a bug? 3 In the old system I used \dcite[key] for footnotes but \dcite is not recognized now. Is there another way? Best regards, Robert Blackstone

footnote link destionations in interactive documents

Hans, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Chapter 1} a\footnote{b} \stoptext The sample above has a /XYZ link destination for the table of contents, but two /Fit link destinations for footnotes. Now that links work better since the first beta from yesterday, wouldn’t it be possible that footnote links in interactive documents use the same kind of destinations than the other links?

\setupcaptions question
by j. van den hoff 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

I want to use `numberstopper' for figure caption customization like so: \setupcaptions[numberstopper={:}] this works fine for the caption itself (i.e. I get, e.g. "Figure 1: caption text") _but_ references to the figure via a defined label such as [fig:example] in the body text do include the numberstopper, too, which is highly undesirable in my view, since, e.g., "... see Figure 1: for an example. ..." should rather read "... see Figure 1 for an example. ..." i.e. the numberstopper should be omitted (at least optionally) when referencing. question: how can this be achieved? thx/j

shrink JPGs to some resolution (dpi) ?
by Harald Koenig 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hi, so here's my very generic question #1 for my India book: is it possible that context (lua?) will "shrink" all \externalfigure jpegs automatically to some specified dpi resolution and quality (e.g. 300 dpi with 95% jpeg 'quality' for print and 100 dpi and 75% for screen quality) ? since I'm only using Linux, using Acrobat unfortueately is not an option (thanks, Adobe:-( that book will be ~100 A4 pages with ~50% and 50% pictures, trying to have 2 pictures per page with text flowing around. the pictures are JPG photos with quite high resolution, upto 24 Mpixel. so those picutres are HUGE and horrible overkill for a final print on A4 with typical images withs around 0.5\textwith. I know about ghostscript being able to convert/shrink PDFs, but first the "original" PDF with full size JPGs with be really huge, and ghostscript takes ages to shrink them. so that's not real fun doing this too often... right now I write the real typeset size of all images to the log file and use some external script to calculate the current resolution and then create a new set of images which e.g. 300 dpi. but that's still an ugly hack still has some issues with EXIF data, rotation, clipping, ... and right now leads to strage problems (see mext mail;) any hints to read the original large JPGs, but only write "print quality" 300dpi images, or low quaity 75dpi images for speed (and saving net bandwidth when mailing PDFs to co-workers of the group)? thanks, Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.

Hello -- and RFH (Request For Help) for privately typesetting a new travelling book
by Harald Koenig 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello ConTeXt users! since I'm new to this list (and the group of context users;) a quick introduction to myself and my current project: I've been using LaTeX since 1986 -- some of you may know me from some TeX meetings (and recently also the context users's meetings -- without really using context so far). in 2009 using LaTeX I typeset a 100 page diary+pictures book about a group tour from our parish to Israel and Jordan. making text flowing around the picutres with LaTeX (in the way I'd like to typeset it) was a real nightmare with LaTeX. so after finishing that project with LaTeX due to severe time constraints, I've used that text to convert it to context and learn a bit how this book can be typeset (much better?) using context -- mostly whenever I met Hans at every tex conference I could et hands on him, and also Willi and other helpers! but the "context-way" Isreal book always remained unfinished or at least unpolished as there was no need (and again no time) to really perfectly finish up. now this happend again: recently I've been traveling through India, again with a group of our parish. and again, there was that idea to make such a nice book like for the Isreal tour. so this time, I'd like to use context instead of latex... BUT, there are still quite some issues where I'll need *your* help to make this really work and get a nice book. I'll try to split up my questions into separate mails, hopefully with small to minimal examples if possible (and if you'd like to get hards on my complete ugly tex code, plesae feel free to ask me!... ;-) so thanks in advance for any advice and help, Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.

Bibliographies in mkiv - announcement and WARNING!
by Alan BRASLAU 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

ANNOUNCEMENT The MKII bibliography module (\usemodule[bib]), described in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography has undergone, first a re-write, keeping up with MKIV, then a complete re-conception of the handling of bibliographies. We introduced into the core of MKIV a dataset subsystem, not necessarily limited to the generation of bibliographic lists. This new subsystem has been part of the distribution for some time and an early first draft of its documentation had been made available. After putting the new system to heavy use in a real, bibliographic-intensive book project, and after much fighting back-and-forth over specifications and design choices, the upcoming beta standalone distribution will finally contain this completely revamped subsystem. Note that it is not yet complete, but has been stabilized enough to make this revision available. The rewritten documentation is not quite ready yet either, but a completely rewritten new draft will be made available in a very short time. We promise! * WARNING * As details of the interface have changed and the documentation is not quite there yet, do not attempt to use this for any serious project for the moment. And if you are presently using the pre-beta version of the new subsystem that has been distributed with the standalone, DO NOT UPDATE your standalone unless you are prepared to see some changes. Hans and Alan (also with the help of Thomas and Luigi). MWE Below is a minimal working example: \startbuffer [test] @Article{article, Title = {Article title}, Author = {ArticleLastnameA, FirstnameA} # { and ArticleLastnameB, FirstnameB} # { and ArticleLastnameC, FirstnameC} # { and ArticleLastnameD, FirstnameD} # { and ArticleLastnameE, FirstnameE} # { and ArticleLastnameF, FirstnameF} # { and ArticleLastnameG, FirstnameG}, Journal = {Journal name}, Year = {YYYY}, Note = {note...}, Number = {number}, Pages = {ff--tt}, Volume = {volume}, Doi = {doi|-|specification}, Keywords = {keyword1; keyword2; keyword3}, } @Book{book, Title = {Book title}, Title = {Title2}, Author = {BookAuthorLastnameA, Firstname and BookAuthorLastnameB, Firstname Middle and BookAuthorLastnameC, Firstname-Combined}, Editor = {EditorLastname, Firstname}, Editor = {EditorLastname2, Firstname}, Publisher = {Publisher}, Year = {YYYY}, Address = {Address}, Edition = {edition}, Keywords = {book}, } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[test.buffer] \starttext \cite[article,book] \startbackmatter \startchapter[title=Bibliography] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter \stopbackmatter \stoptext

I know that paragraph footnotes are less common, but a smaller font with the same line space of the main text is ugly. Is there a workaround? Where should I look for a solution? I tried to modify the interline space in "before" parameter, without success. I looked at strc-not.mkvi, but it's too difficult for me (at least for now), since I'm new to ConTeXt (and TeX). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Massi

bug in \setupsectionblock and page={yes, blank}
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Mar '15

Dear list, I have just discovered a weird issue: \setuppapersize[A6] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page={yes, blank}] \setupsectionblock[bodypart] [page={yes, header, footer}] \setupsectionblock[backpart] [page={yes, blank}] \starttext \startfrontmatter \dorecurse{2}{\chapter{Front Matter}\input knuth} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \dorecurse{2}{\chapter{Body Matter}\input knuth} \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \dorecurse{2}{\chapter{Back Matter}\input knuth} \stopbackmatter \stoptext Page number is removed from the first chapter after the sectionblock when the page={yes, blank} is used. Page numbers are kept with page={yes, header, footer}. Is this ia bug or is it intended? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

My mistake: I forgot to add a comma after \, ! \,, indeed works beautifully for my purpose. And thanks for the list of possibilities for spaces of various sizes. Best regards, Robert Blackstone
