13 May '11

Hi, i found that BibTeX have IEEE ouput bibstyle ( http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/reference/faq/bibstyles.html) for publication list. Is there any way to use this in ConTeXi or i there any other library for ConTeXt? I don't want to start writing rules from the start. Thanks in advance, Jan

Setting width of table column
by Roger Mason 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hello, I cannot find how to set the width of a table column. I am running MkII. The manual gives this: w<> set minimum column width at specified value I have currently: \starttable[|l|l|w5cm l|p|] but that italicises the content of column 3. I have tried variations to no avail. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Roger

MikTeX & ConTeXt
by Mojca Miklavec 13 May '11

13 May '11

Dear ConTeXt-ers, in particular H&T, I have just noticed that 64-bit MikTeX is now using LuaTeX 0.70 and that the 32-bit version will follow at the end of May. It would be nice to prepare some version of ConTeXt compatible with LuaTeX 0.70 that MikTeX could fetch (and one would have to take care for configuration differences since the last version of ConTeXt that was included).

Wrong spacing with inline math in latest mkiv
by Otared Kavian 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hi Hans and Taco, It seems that with the latest mkiv (version 2011.05.11 10:18, and LuaTeX version beta-0.70.0-2011050613 (rev 4250) ), there is a slight error for the spacing of the bounds in the integrals when using inline maths, at least for some fonts. For your information the example is below, and the resulting PDFs are available here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-libertine.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-LM.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-palatino.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-termes.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-xits.pdf Best regards: OK %% begin bug-inline-math.tex %\setupbodyfont[xits] % gives the correct spacing \setupbodyfont[palatino] % gives the wrong spacing %\setupbodyfont[libertine,12pt] % gives a slightly wrong spacing %\setupbodyfont[termes] % gives the wrong spacing % Latin Modern gives also a slightly wrong spacing too \starttext By the way, $\int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x)dx = 0$, while $\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-1} = +\infty$ and \startformula \int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin^2(x)dx = \pi,\qquad \sum_{n=1}^\infty {1\over n^2 } = {\pi^2\over 6}. \stopformula \stoptext %% end bug-inline-math.tex

Strange behavior with square brackets in formula and \rm subscripts

I just found out that I cannot (with MkIV on Windows XP, ConTeXt ver. 2011.02.09 16:42) compile the following \starttext This formula produces an error: \startformula [r_{\rm test}]=a \stopformula \stoptext \starttext However, this works: \startformula a=[r_{\rm test}] \stopformula What's going on here?

Coupled register errors!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hi, A few years ago I created a screen document met menus and coupled registers, and it just worked fine. A fresh compilation of this document throws several 'undefined control sequence' errors; so I wonder what has happened to this feature? Are commands like \defineregister, \setupregister and \couple(d)register still valid ConTeXt commands? Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.03.30 11:21 MKIV fmt: 2011.3.30 int: english/english.

\completepublications without criterium gives no publications at all?

I just encountered a problem when running the following, using the sample.bib given in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/sample_bib) The list of References is emtpy. If I added the argument "[criterium=text]" to \completepublications, it produces the correct result (it prints out the list of references), but if I put that as an additional parameter in setuppublications as "\setuppublications[alternative=apa,criterium=text]", again: no list of references. Is this a bug? or maybe I haven't used the correct setup?

How to create a breakable text box inside math equation?
by Mojca Miklavec 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hello, This is probably a very trivial question, but I'm not sure how TeX works in that respect. I'm used to use a macro \def\unit#1{{\rm\ #1} in constructs such as $1\unit{cm^2} \times 2\unit{cm}$. However I figured out that the contents of \unit{} cannot be broken accross lines, most probably because this becomes an hbox. Is there any simple workaround? Thanks a lot, Mojca

mtxrun --script metapost and fonts?
by Michal Kvasnička 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hallo. I've got a problem with metapost -> pdf translation. Since mptopdf is still broken in the last ConTeXt beta in the minimal distribution, I use "mtxrun --script metapost --split". It works well, only it ignores font setting. My code is like this: verbatimtex \definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec] \definetypeface [times] [mm] [math] [times] [default] [encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont [times,10pt] etex; beginfig(1); label(btex A $a_i$ etex,origin); endfig; end. I believe that the code in the verbatimtex ... etex environment should switch the major font to Times (it works with "texexec --mptex"). However, it is ignored by the "mtxrun --script metapost --split" script---Computer Modern in 12pt is used instead of Times in 10pt. Is there any way around this problem? Many thanks for your help. Best wishes, Michal Kvasnicka

formula numbering in unnumbered sections

I came across the following problem recently: In my document I want chapters and sections to be numbered, but not subsections, subsubsections etc. Then, additionally I want my formulae to be numbered by chapter and section, but not subsection. In the following example the first equation gets numbered correctly as (1.1), (1.2) and (3) in the first chapter, and as (2.1), (2.2) and (3) in the second chapter respectively, which is not what I wanted. I'd rather have the formulae numbered as (1.1), (1.2) and (1.3) in the first chapter, and as (2.1), (2.2) and (2.3). Anybody has an idea how to accomplish this? Thanks, Julian ----------------- \setuphead[subsection][number=no] \setupnumber[formula][key=chapter] \starttext \chapter{Wake up} \placeformula \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \section{Make Coffee} \placeformula \startformula c^2+d^2=e^2 \stopformula \subsection{Now waking up for real} \placeformula \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \chapter{Wake up again} \placeformula \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \section{Make Coffee again} \placeformula \startformula c^2+d^2=e^2 \stopformula \subsection{Now waking up for real} \placeformula \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \stoptext ------------- "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for it is the wellspring of life."

Bibtex to bbl-file conversion

Hello there, somehow texexec (in the latest minimal distribution) does not convert my bibtex-file correctly into an bbl-file. ------------------------- My bibtex file: @BOOK{Fowler2006, author = {Fowler, C. M. R.}, year = {2006}, title = {The Solid Earth.

[NTG-context] How to retreive the bibentry number and use it somewhere?

Hi, I sorted the reference by the squence they appear in the text. I want to retreive a bibentry number, but use it at other places. I try to use \onlinecite, this number is the same as \cite[xxx]. Its number will become smaller if I put it before where I cite it. Can I get the absolute number of the bibentry, which means, this number will not change when I use it somewhere?

I'm guessing that I have not yet understood how to use abbreviations/synonyms correctly, but why does it make a difference if I call the synonyms "abbreviations" or "tests"?

In the first case I get the abbreviation in capitals, in the second case, no capitals. What would I have to do to get small capitals?

Some Ethiopic examples (hyphenation/breaking) in ConTeXt
by Mojca Miklavec 08 May '11

08 May '11

Dear Hans, We were originally preparing the example for XeTeX (which behaves very weird anyway) and I would like to know how to typeset Ethiopic text in ConTeXt. The basic requirements are: - Words may be split after any character (character = syllable; it's in the range "1200-"139F), but not before word/sentence dividers. (We have hyphenation patterns, but one could just as well use some other mechanism to break.) - "1361 and "1362 are word dividers and sentence dividers. - One doesn't use spaces when writing. - In output one should get something like space (approximately the same width) before and something like space after word/sentence divider, except that the "space" before divider should not be breakable; I highly suspect that the amount of space before/after dividers depends on the font being used, but I may be wrong. - Text should be nicely justified (I wonder if microtypography would also help). I'm attaching a sample text that does approximately what I expect it to do, but I would like to avoid active characters, make the space before and after divider of equal size and I'm not sure what is the most appropriate approach in ConTeXt. The example also leaves a bit too much whitespace after dividers that end the line. Here's the font used in the example: http://scripts.sil.org/AbyssinicaSIL_Download Thanks a lot, Mojca PS: In char-def.lua see [0x1361]={ category="po", description="ETHIOPIC WORDSPACE", direction="l", linebreak="ba", unicodeslot=0x1361, }, where linebreak="ba" means "break after" or "allow break after this character". But I guess that ConTeXt ignores those meanings at the moment.

Annotation and background color
by Otared Kavian 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi Wolfgang, Following up one of the recent threads about your annotation module, I made some experiments and found it a wonderful and extremely useful module. Out of curiosity, I wanted to know whether there is a key to set a background color for an annotation (as it is possible to use headcolor=darkred, or textcolor=darkgray, for instance). Also I didn't get the difference between textcolor=darkgray and color=darkgray: are they the same? The example I was testing is below. Best regards: OK \usemodule[annotation] \define[2]\MyQuotationCommand {\textrule{#1}#2\textrule} \defineannotation[MyQuotation] [alternative=command, command=\MyQuotationCommand, text=Quotation , number=yes, headcolor=darkred, color=darkgray, % textcolor=darkgray, ] \starttext \startMyQuotation{Peter D. Ward} \input ward.tex \stopMyQuotation \startMyQuotation{Donald Knuth} \input knuth \stopMyQuotation \MyQuotation{Wolfgang Schster}{The annotation module is wonderful!} \stoptext

header for indented text / blockquote
by R. Ermers 07 May '11

07 May '11

Dear All, In my docbook xml document I have fragments that I want to typeset indented. For this I use the tag <blockquote> which I map to startnarrower and stopnarrower. Some blockquotes in my document have a header: <blockquote> <title>How a cow catches a rabbit</title> <para>Text Text</para> </blockquote> I was wondering if the header could be setup just like sections and section headers in the following way: \startnarrower[title={title}, reference=reference] .... \stopnarrower Perhaps I need to create a new environment (blockquote) with these qualities? The title and the reference to the section (and subsections) can now easily be matched to lpath variables (much easier than when \section in fact refers to the section title). Another question related to this is how to can typeset the text of the blockquote in two columns, while its header is typeset over the full page. Kind regards, Robert

If I run "context" with no arguments, I get the following output (and nothing else): mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' The file, mtx-context.lua does exis: /home/bwise/context/20110505-beta-extras/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua If I do an strace, it's looking for the following: 26155 open("./context.lua", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 open("/home/bwise/context/20110505-beta-extras/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtx-context.lua", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 stat("mtx-context.lua", 0x7fffcf962660) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 stat("mtx-context.lua", 0x7fffcf962660) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 open("/home/bwise/context/20110505-beta-extras/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtx-context.lua", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 stat("context.lua", 0x7fffcf962660) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 stat("context.lua", 0x7fffcf962660) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) So it's looking for the mtx-context.lua file in the path: tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtx-context.lua And it's really located in the path: tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Bart

Proposed changes for Croatian language
by Vedran Miletić 06 May '11

06 May '11

Hi, according to [1], Croatian language has no em-dash. Could lang-def.mkiv (lines 240-243) be fixed to be: \c!leftsentence={\hbox{--~}}, \c!rightsentence={\hbox{~--}}, \c!leftsubsentence={--}, \c!rightsubsentence={--}, also, from my understanding, month names are only used for generating correct \date[...=...] output. If that's the case, they should be in Genitive case, as follows: january = siječnja february = veljače march = ožujka april = travnja may = svibnja june = lipnja july = srpnja august = kolovoza september = rujna october = listopada november = studenog december = prosinca If it would be easier, I can send fixed lang-txt.lua. Thanks, Vedran Miletić [1] http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crtica_%28pravopis%29

Error with export=yes
by Aditya Mahajan 06 May '11

06 May '11

Hi, The following gives an error: \setupbackend[export=yes] \starttext test \stoptext ! LuaTeX error ...minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/util-prs.lua:125: bad argument #2 to 'lpegmatch' (string expected, got boolean). system > tex > error on line 0 in file : LuaTeX error ... <empty file> <*> ./test ? Any ideas on how to fix this? Also, I looked at back-exp.mkiv and it appears that xhtml export is possible. If so, what is the command to enable it. (I am guessing \setupexport[export=yes, xhtml=yes] but cannot test it due to the above error). Aditya

Dear All, I am working on a docbook file that includes fragments in Arabic, e.g.: <foreignphrase lang="ar">أشهد الا اله الا الله و ان محمدا رسول الله</foreignphrase> These can be found by means of the lpath code: \xmlsetsetup{#1}{foreignphrase[@lang='ar']}{xml:foreignphrase:arabic} Now I am not sure how to typeset them, I tried different methods: \startxmlsetups xml:foreignphrase:arabic %\setupdirections[bidi=local] \setarabic \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups Can anybody help me out here?

Problem with arrows in latest mkiv (again)
by Otared Kavian 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi Hans, I am sending again a message sent some two weeks ago, but probably it was lost… It seems that the latest beta (version 2011.05.01 12:50) has a problem with arrow in math mode, using Latin modern, while with Palatino the arrows are correct. Here is a minimal example and its PDF result (please look at the \longrightarrow in the PDF): \starttext Let $E,F$ be two Banach spaces and consider a linear operator $L : E \longrightarrow F$. \stoptext Best regards: OK

Plea for unicode help
by Oliver Buerschaper 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi there, I'm experiencing a very strange error related to unicode at the moment and I can't pin down the problem for the life of me… The situation: I'm using context mkvi (2011.04.20 16:23) on Mac OS 10.6.7 (with the latest font patches in particular) and TeXShop 2.41. In my tex source file I have unicode letters with accents (like "clarín") and the file's encoding is set to UTF-8. It still looks like valid UTF-8 when opened with a different text editor, say SubEthaEdit or vim. The problem is, context compiles this to a PDF in which the accent is missing ("clarin"). The really strange thing happens now. I delete the offending letter and reenter it, in TeXShop there's *no* visual difference between before and after but the compiled pdf suddenly has the accent enabled again. I seem to remember that the missing accents issue didn't occur with a different font (Latin Modern vs. Minion Pro in context) for the *same* source. I'll have to check that again though. Has anyone seen this before? I wanted to ask up front before I really start digging into the issue… I might have missed something obvious. Many thanks, Oliver

[garden] captcha: zip-code of Hasselt?
by Philipp Gesang 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi all, the wiki just asked me to verify my humanity through Hasselt’s zip code. From [1] I inferred that it would be the string “8061GH”, which was promptly rejected -- the next quiz proved to be easier and I finally won another wiki commit. Nevertheless I’d appreciate this mystery to be solved ;-) Have a fun day Philipp [1] http://pragma-ade.com/text-info.htm

bibliography basics
by Hagmann Jörg 05 May '11

05 May '11

I haven't used bibliographies before and have a few basic questions. I am using mkiv, current version: 2011.04.03 22:32. 1. If I interpret the wiki pages correctly, the bib module is not needed for mkiv. On the other hand, examples I found in the archive have "\usemodule[bib]" included, although (I think) they were meant for mkiv, and leaving it out didn't affect the outcome. Question: has \usemodule[bib] no function in mkiv, never? 2. Where can I get documentation? Can Taco's bib-module documentation still be used? (In my experiments in some cases, not in others). 3. The "very basic example" on contextgarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv#Example_of_use) gave numbers in the text and an alphabetic list at the end. I added "\setuppublications[alternative=apa]". Would that be the way to do it? Please change it if there is something better (according to bibmod-doc, apa should be default). Thanks, Jörg

Dear all, I'm in need for a few custom cite commands like these: 1. \cite[alternative=authortitle, extras={, p.\,13}][citekey] should yield {\sc AuthorLastName}, AuthorFirstName, {\it title}, p.\,13 2. \cite[alternative=title][citekey] {\it title} How would I code these commands? Oliver

Still wrestling with multiplication tables
by Alasdair McAndrew 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hello again, So I decide to try with tables: \starttable[|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|] \NC \VL I\NC R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\AR \HL \NC I \VL I\NC R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NR \NC R\VL R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC I\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NR \NC R^2\VL R^2\NC R^3\NC I\NC R\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NC FR\NR \NC R^3\VL R^3\NC I\NC R\NC R^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NR \NC F\VL F\NC FR^3\NC FR^2\NC FR\NC I\NC R^3\NC R^2\NC R\NR \NC FR\VL FR\NC F\NC FR^3\NC FR^2\NC R\NC I\NC R^3\NC R^2\NR \NC FR^2\VL FR^2\NC FR\NC F\NC FR^3\NC R^2\NC R\NC I\NC R^3\NR \NC FR^3\VL FR^3\NC FR^2\NC FR\NC F\NC R^3\NC R^2\NC R\NC I\NR \stoptable This almost works, yet in the pdf output ("texexec"), there's an extra column at the right full of "[missing column]". What's going on here? Actually, so far the best I've managed to do was to whip up a plain basic array, and then insert two lines with TiKZ. Clumsy, but so far it's the only thing I've got to work... -Alasdair

Multiplication table (with lines) in ConTeXt?
by Alasdair McAndrew 04 May '11

04 May '11

I want to typeset a multiplication table, where there will be a horizontal line after the first row, and a vertical line after the first column. In LaTeX, I can use: \[ \begin{array}{c|ccccccc} \times&0&1&2&3&4&5&6\\ \hline 0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\\ 1&0&1&2&3&4&5&6\\ 2&0&2&4&6&1&3&5\\ 3&0&3&6&2&5&1&4\\ 4&0&4&1&5&2&6&3\\ 5&0&5&3&1&6&4&2\\ 6&0&6&5&4&3&2&1 \end{array} \] What is the canonical way of including lines in a mathematical array in ConTeXt? Thanks, Alasdair

Bibliography question: one list of references per chapter and one overall list
by Renald Buter 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hello all, I am currently making up my thesis in ConTeXt. And I am thoroughly impressed with the professional looking result I already have, although I have only recently started using ConTeXt. Now, I have a question regarding reference lists: I would like to have one list per chapter (which are original research papers), but also one big list at the end of the thesis, as a separate chapter, containing all unique references in whole thesis. At the moment, I'm using the bib module. This works perfectly if I compile every single chapter separately (i.e. 'texexec chapter01.tex', for example). However, if I compile the whole component (i.e. 'texexec thesis.tex'), I obviously get at every chapter the same reference list, regardless whether the references were cited in that particular chapter. Does anyone have suggestions on how to accomplish this (if at all possible)? With kind regards, Renald
