Using num and authornum bibliography style simultaneously
by Devendra Ghate 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

Hi, I want to use *num* and *authornum* bibliiography style simultaneously in my document. \setuppublications[alternative=num] ------------------------------------------- [1]. \setuppublications[alternative=num, refcommand=authornum] -- Author name [1]. So I have defined a macro as: \define[1]\citet{% \setuppublications[alternative=num, refcommand=authornum] \cite[#1] \setuppublications[alternative=num] } to give me the *authornum* format and default \cite behaviour is *num*. This works. However, I have a feeling that this is not the recommended way of doing things in ConTeXt. Do let me know. Regards, Devendra

Bug in \externalfigure[...][factor=max]
by Aditya Mahajan 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

\externalfigure[...][factor=max] behaves incorrectly (or at lease does not behave as expected) when the width of the figure is less than the height. Minimal example: \startbuffer \startTABLE[frame=off,align={middle,lohi}] \NC none \NC \externalfigure[cow][ratio] \NC \NR \NC max \NC \externalfigure[cow][ratio][factor=max] \NC \NR \NC fit \NC \externalfigure[cow][ratio][factor=fit] \NC \NR \stopTABLE \stopbuffer \starttext \subject {Width > Height} \defineexternalfigure[ratio][height=1cm,width=5cm] \getbuffer \subject {Height > Width} \defineexternalfigure[ratio][width=1cm,height=5cm] \getbuffer \stoptext See attached output. I thought that factor=max scales the figure (while maintaining the aspect ratio) until the used_width > asked_width and used_height > asked_height. Looking at the grph-inc.mkiv (in particular \grph_scale_apply_size), I no longer understand what factor=max is supposed to do! facor=fit seems to behave as expected, although I don't understand the purpose of factor=broad (why subtract 4*bodyfont? To fit the caption?) Aditya

\setupgraphics[location=local] does not work

02 Feb '13

How do I disable \externalfigure to search in texmf-directory? Using \setupexternalfigures [location=local] \starttext \externalfigure[cow] \stoptext still includes the figure. The tracker shows: graphics > inclusion > locations: local graphics > inclusion > path list: . .. ../.. graphics > inclusion > strategy: unknown format, prefer quality graphics > inclusion > found: ./cow.pdf -> /opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/sample/cow.pdf Also, if location={local,global}, which directories of TEXMF tree are searched? Thanks, Aditya

No interaction for publications with author-year style
by Martin Rimmler 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

Hi all, I cannot get interactive publication references with author-year styles, i.e. all apa and ssa alternatives. See below: \setupbibtex[database={sample}] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue] \setupcombinedlist[publications][interaction=all] \starttext Here I reference Ref1 \cite[ref1] and Ref2 \cite[ref2]. \page[yes] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext It works, however, with \setuppublications[alternative=ams] or with the num alternatives. In short, author-year styles do not work, but number styles do. Any clues as to what might help? I attached the bib file. Thanks in advance. Best, Martin

>> {\mi\cap\tfx INTRO} >> gives "Undefined control sequence ..." > > Try this: {\cap\tfx INTRO} Hi, Thanks for the answer, that was the cause. Why \mi, \mc and others are not usable anymore? My intention was to select medium italic and medium condensed variant of the font. Please, advise me, how to switch to condensed (and possibly medium) variant of the font. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Processing MP graphics without interference
by Marco Patzer 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi, I have MetaPost graphics that are generated by an external program. Each graphic is an individual file and the code is enclosed by beginfig(1) … endfig; end The beginfig argument is always “1”, it does not increment. Including the graphics using MPrun fails, since the first figure's “end” stops the MetaPost run: \startMPrun{foo} beginfig(1); fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor blue; endfig; end; %% prevents the second graph from being processed \stopMPrun \startMPrun{bar} beginfig(1); fill unitsquare scaled 2cm withcolor red; endfig; end; \stopMPrun \starttext foo: \externalfigure[mprun:foo.1] bar: \externalfigure[mprun:bar.1] %% not shown \stoptext I want to avoid preprocessing the generated MP graphics, if possible (stripping the “end”s). What is the best way to deal with these graphics? Marco

Hi there, how to deactivate numbering for the following (empty) picture? \placefigure[here][fig:demo]{My description under the picture.}{} Thanks, Huseyin P.S.: I know that for multi-line code my email-client seems to format the code with many spaces, how to control that, I am using Mozilla Thunderbird? (I can't see the spaces, but after copying them out of the send email, I see the problem, too)

setupblock with starttyping doesn't work
by Ingo Hohmann 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hello, this is my first post to this mailing list. I have played a little bit with latex and context before, and now I am trying context for real. To get a feel for it, I am setting up a letter style for my self, and some problems are showing up now. So here it goes ... What I want to accomplish: The user writes the address, and he should not have to use \crlf or have to use several distinct commands. Why does the following not work? \defineblock[Address] \setupblock[Address][ before=\starttyping, after=\stoptyping ] \starttext \beginAddress Peter Pan Somewhere over the Rainbow Neverland \endAddress \useblocks[Address] Some more text. \stoptext Kind regards, Ingo

long tables in multicolumns / Interactive cross-referencing
by Thomas De Maet 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi ! I'm currently creating a book in context - it's a tremendous project ! - and I have a couple of questions: Firstly, I'm interested in the "multicolumns table issue" raised in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE. Do you have an idea of a date for a fix ? Alternatively, it's quite a huge work to skip portions of tables at the good size, especially when an entry is added at the beginning Secondly, I have here a code in which several cross-links are down with MKIV (2012.05.30). It happens for references to chapter (or section/subsection) when \startcomponent is used (with starttext it is just ok). When merged in the whole document, I only have the problem for cross-links interns to a file (and each file is a component...) Thanks in advance !

Showing a cutting-frame
by "H. Özoguz" 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi there, to precize my question about the page-edges a few days ago, I know now what the perfect solution for me would be: 1. Is it possible, that context prints on every page an frame/box, which has excactly X mm distance to each of the four borders, no matter how I change the papersize? (Too the the real layout after cutting.) 2. And in addition to this, again my last question: Is there an command like "\addpapersize[x]" which increases the papersize x mm on all four directions of the page? (Useful, because with that I would not have to add always x mm cutting-space to topspace, bottomspace, cutspace and backspace manually, if I change the layout.) Thanks again Huseyin

Node for startbuffer.
by Andre Caldas 31 Jan '13

Hello! Given some \startbuffer Blah, blah, blah... \stopbuffer I'd like to get a "node tree" corresponding to how the buffer would be processed at a given point. Using luatex, I'd like to identify certain sub-nodes and change their attributes (to be specific: transparency). Any hint on how to do it? Also, are there any good examples on how to use "nodes"?

Multi-page textbackground ignores topoffset
by Nicholas Ulle 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi, Is there any way to get a multi-page textbackground to respect topoffset on each page? From the second page onwards, it leaves no offset at the top. I don't think I can use background instead, as I'm nesting the textbackgound under itemize and also use itemize within it (correct me if this works okay?). A minimal example (note context live doesn't display the frame, which is sort of necessary to see the problem): \definetextbackground[Test][ location=paragraph, topoffset=1em, bottomoffset=1em, leftoffset=1em, rightoffset=1em, frame=on, framecolor=black] \starttext This is some text outside of a text background. \startTest \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par} \stopTest This is more text outside of a text background. \stoptext Kip Warner started a thread about this several months ago, but it seems to have died before anyone offered a solution. Thanks, Nick

Consistent Colors
by Devendra Ghate 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

I have been going through the concepts underlying pallet. I would like to define three basic colors in RGB. Then use various shades and tints of these basic three colors through out the document. Now the algorithm for getting various shades for RGB scheme is: Darker shades: Multiply each component by 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, etc. of its previous value, depending on how dark the color should be. Lighter tints: Calculate (1 - previous value), multiply that by 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, etc. and add that to the previous value. What I would like is a macro that is fed a color name and should define 3 shades above and below it. I have following problems: 1. How to get RGB values of an already defined color? If this is too involved then I can pass the RGB values to the macro as well. 2. How to create a loop and carry out the above arithmatic to create RGB values for various shades? Essentially the problem boils down to doing arithmetic calculations and creating loops in ConTeXt. Regards, Devendra MWE: -------------------------- \setupcolor[rgb] \definecolor[maroon][r=0.8, g=0.2, b=0.4] %\definecolorgroup %[maroon][rgb] %[0.9:0.6:0.7, %0.8:0.2:0.4, %0.4:0.1:0.2, %0.2:0.05:0.1] % A macro that generates three shades above and below the given color. % It is assumed here that the RGB values are also passed along with % the color name. \define[4]\generateColorGroup{ \definecolorgroup [#1] [#2:#3:#4] %\dimexpr#2/4:#3/4:#4/4] }% \generateColorGroup{maroon}{0.8}{0.2}{0.4} \starttext \showcolor \stoptext -------------------------------
