Bib module: more \setupcite options?
by Jeff Smith 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi all (or Taco? :-)), My a-key to use with the \cite command and my bib database doesn't seem to work when I have more than two authors/editors. Here is my data: \startpublication[n=40,t=editedbook,k=Burton-RobertsEtAl2000,a={{Burton-Roberts},{Carr},{Docherty}},y=2000] \editor[]{Noël}[N.]{}{Burton-Roberts} \editor[]{Philip}[P.]{}{Carr} \editor[]{Gerard}[G.]{}{Docherty} \title{Phonological knowledge. Conceptual and empirical issues} \pubname{Oxford University Press} \city{New York/Oxford} \pages{352} \pubyear{2000} \stoppublication My setup is simple, I use all the defaults. Meaning, I don't have any \setupcite specification in my environment file. So, when I use the following command: \cite{Burton-RobertsEtAl2000} I get the following output: (2000) If I just remove one name in the a key, like this: \startpublication[n=40,t=editedbook,k=Burton-RobertsEtAl2000,a={{Burton-Roberts},{Carr}},y=2000] \editor[]{Noël}[N.]{}{Burton-Roberts} \editor[]{Philip}[P.]{}{Carr} \editor[]{Gerard}[G.]{}{Docherty} \title{Phonological knowledge. Conceptual and empirical issues} \pubname{Oxford University Press} \city{New York/Oxford} \pages{352} \pubyear{2000} \stoppublication With the above \cite command I get the expected: Roberts et Carr (2000) Where can I setup this? I see nothing regarding that in the BibTeX manual. There's a lot covering the publication list at the end, but I have no problems there, with as many authors (or editors, like in this case) I want. I get only this behaviour with the \cite command. Have I missed something? I'm running mkii version 2008.11.10. Thanks for any help! Jeff

bugs in arranging in mkiv interface=xp
by Johan Sandblom 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

With the following snippet \setuppapersize[A6][A4] \setuparranging[2*4, doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{8}{ \input tufte \page} \stoptext and todays beta using the xp interface with context --interface=xp I got the surprising attached result with the arrange pages thrown onto the sheet with a seemingly random rotation. Also, in a more complex example with a toc, no toc is made, as if using texexec and forgetting the --arrange switch. However, adding the --arrange switch here has an entirely different consequence: only one of the arranged pages is placed on each sheet, so in effect there is no longer any arranging. I assume these are not intended behaviours, but would be happy to be informed I made an error in usage.

\char"xxxx not working as I expected
by Maurício 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi, I'm trying this small test on unicode characters, and the result I get is this: http://173.45.227.76/test3.pdf I did check the font in 'gucharmap' and it does contain all codes I'm using (U+2019, U+2610, U+226b, U+2115). But the result is a blank (U+2610 and U+2115) or wrong (U+226b) character. (U+2019 is shown properly.) The test alternates lines where a unicode character is inserted directly (using emacs 'ucs' input method) and then insert the same character using '\char'. (So, if you see strange chars in the code, it's because it does contain utf-8 characters.) It's intersting that u+226b is shown properly when typed, but not when using '\char'. Am I doing something wrong?

slower access to ConTeXt generated pdfs in Windows Vista
by Alan Stone 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

When opening ConTeXt generated pdf's in Windows Vista, a message window pops up saying something as (translated to english): - title: preparation of document contents" - message: "please wait while the contents of your document is being prepared" + progress bar "page x of total pages" This doesn't show up in Windows XP or Linux. The embedded fonts are ttf fonts like arial/tahoma/verdana/times new roman, ... Any idea to what that's related and how to disable it/have it run in the background (if possible) because it slows access to reading the pdf. -- Alan

Making necessary OpenType features on by default
by Khaled Hosny 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Currently, when defining a font feature one has to enable all features by hand which is IMHO not very user friendly as it implies prior knowledge about OpenType font features and the meaning of each one, not every Arabic user, for example, knows what does 'init', 'medi, etc. ligatures mean yet to know that he must enable them to get proper font rendering. I think some font features should be on by default, so that \definefontfeature[script=arabic] should be enough to get an Arabic font rendered correctly with the default features as its designer intended (designers assume that certain will be on while other are off by default, like liga vs. dlig), and if some one wants to disable a certain default feature he can turn it off, not the reverse. Microsoft's OpenType features list page (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_ae.htm) gives a "UI suggestion" for each feature noting if it should be on by default, I think those are what most OpenType enable by default (at least the ones I tested).

PDF/X-1A
by Antoine Junod 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Dear List, A lot of you guys helped me through the process of setting a little booklet and I have to say I was proud of the result (44 full color pages with a lot of pictures and texts). Thanks for that. I'm now in the process of printing that booklet. I was happy to send my beautiful pdf to the printer for 250 copies, pdf file that has been refused because not in a PDF/X-1A format. I googled a bit and learned a bit about that: wikipedia has a good article [0] on the topic and there is LaTeX package (pdfx) for pdfTeX that has a good doc about that [1]. In short, PDF/X-1A is a set of rules and subset of PDF that ensures that the document will be see exactly the same for the editor and the printer (embed every fonts, use only CMYK and son on). Here is my question: is it possible to produce such documents with ConTeXt? It is quite frustrating to provide my printer with huge jpeg files.

Font with compreensive unicode
by Maurício 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi, I'm using ConTeXt to create a small table of unicode characters. Below is my current test. The codes are: U+2019 is a single quotation mark U+2610 should be a ballot box U+226b should be a "much greater than" (>>) U+2115 should be the N as used to represent the natural numbers I get 2019 right, 2610 becomes a blank, 226b becomes just a 'b' and 2115 is also a blank. The choosen font is just one I selected (randomly) for testing. Is there a font I could select that would give me a wide set of unicode characters? Actually: is the choice of font the reason for the missing characters, or I'm just doing something wrong?

Using texexec to prepare single-sided PDF for double-sided printing
by John Devereux 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, I would like to use texexec to post-process a large pdf file, so as to prepare it for double sided printing. The existing file has a large left hand "margin" on each page, so as to allow binding. I would like to change this so that odd (right) pages have a large left margin, and even (left) pages a large right margin. I don't want to put 2 pages on one output sheet - although the ability to fine-tune the scaling might be useful. I have experimented with plenty of combinations of texexec --pdfarrange ...but I am not getting anywhere. Any suggestions appreciated. I am on debian and there are plenty of other pdf tools, but none of these seem quite right either. It would seem a common enough requirement but nothing quite works! Thanks, -- John Devereux

Dear Sirs, I need to define a enumeration with the text label = "Remark". For that I define \defineenumeration[Remark][text=Remark]. The label for the subRemark should be "subRemark". Is there a easy way to do that? The subRemark is a son of Remark and the numeration expected is: Remark 1 subRemark 1.1 subRemark 1.2 Remark 2 subRemark 2.1 .... thanks Have a nice day

Cyrillic fonts

> > no. also, times is even older than lm -) > > i'd like to default to optima nova or palatino nova but that's no option > for most users either because these are commercial fonts > Thank you, Hans. But my argument for default Times (or other font) is that it supports Cyrillic, while LM does not. I think that Cyrillic users deserve to be able write something like \starttext Привет мир! (Hello World) \stoptext and get right output with no setup. My another question remains: how to use other Gyre fonts in most simple way? Best, Vyactheslav

Instalation of minimal

Hi, Is information on this page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals still valid? After following instructions and successfull (I think) rsync sessions I try: source ~/context/tex/setuptex ~/context/tex and I'm told ~/context/tex is not a valid TeX directory. I also tried downloading a 'linux.zip' from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma and it says the same. It also complains about a missing 'plain.tex'. What is the easier way to install MK IV? I usually use ConTeXt that comes with Ubuntu, I just need MK IV in one session where I need to type unicode characters by their number. (A previous message from Hans says \char"2019 would work for sure in MK IV.) Thanks, Maurício

Vertical lines for tabulate
by Wolfgang Schuster 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi, there was a question in the german TeX newgroupd how create a table with borders on all which allows one to split the content at the end of the page. Although he used LaTeX I was looking for a ConTeXt solution, splitting the content is possible with tabulate but vertical lines are a problem. A found a solution with textackground but it did only work for the longest column. I guess I can solve it with twopass data but does any of you know a simpler solution. \definetextbackground [tableframe] [background=, location=paragraph, leftoffset=.5em] \starttext \starttabulate[|j0p(2cm)|i0p|] \NC \starttableframe knuth \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input knuth \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe tufte \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input tufte \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe ward \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input ward \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe zapf \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input zapf \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe knuth \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input knuth \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe tufte \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input tufte \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe ward \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input ward \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe zapf \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input zapf \stoptableframe \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Wolfgang

Nested sections in interface=xp?

I'm interested to know whether nested sections are supported in the new structure code (strc-*)? Using the following to test, I don't get a section and subsection, but rather two sections. The log file notes a "missing \stopsection". \starttext \startsection{Section} \input tufte \startsection{Subsection} \input knuth \stopsection \stopsection \stoptext Am I missing a setup command somewhere in the new structure code that enables nested sections?

question for the xml-experts
by Thomas A. Schmitz 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hi all, this is not a question about direct technical details, but more of a conceptual problem, and I would love to have your input and ideas on this. I will be editing several edited volumes in my field (humanities, classics). From experience, I know that it's impossible to make scholars in the humanities adhere to standards. Each and every one of them will turn in a paper (most of them written in half a dozen different versions of Word) with its own idiosyncracies. At my last conference, I asked them to please use Unicode for their Greek passages, and I got blank looks and the question "What the hell is Unicode?" So: I want to extract the content of these papers and process it with ConTeXt. I thought the easiest route might be convert them to OpenOffice odt and then use the content.xml as a starting point. Since the formatting will be unusable anyways, it doesn't make sense to process the odt directly; instead, I want to transform the xml via xslt to a simplified format and then process that with ConTeXt. I have just discovered the tool xalan ( http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/index.html ) which allows me to use an xslt style sheet and direct the output to a new file. I will then need to clean up these xml files and write a mkiv xml setup for them. So for those who know much more about this sort of workflow: does that make sense? Is there any better way to achieve these results, i.e., have the content of a couple of papers in Word and/or rtf format and typeset it in a consistent ConTeXt environment? Is there any tool better than xslt to convert the OpenOffice xml than xslt (anything in lua that can parse xml)? Anything better than xalan to convert xm -> xml? I'm just beginning to plan this, so I'd be most grateful for any pointers. Thanks for reading this long message, all best Thomas

ConTeXt for beginners translation

Hi, I am new to ConTeXt and, in order to learn a bit of it, I am intending to translate some documentation into French. I followed the link on the wiki and registered/dowloaded the source files for the ConTeXt beginner manual and the ConTeXt reference manual. Everything's ok but I have the following error trying to generate a PDF output with "make fr-print": ! Undefined control sequence. l.42 \secretsetup {setupheada} (This error also occurs if I test the compilation with make en-print.) I wandered around the files in the archive but I still have no idea how to fix this. I am running ConTeXt as shipped with TeXLive 2007. Thanks a lot for any help, -- Sébastien http://edilibre.net

Searching for messages, I found things like: "2019 \char"2019 \char{"2019} \utfchar{"2019} but I wasn't able to get any of them to work. (I don't know for sure they actually should do what I want.)

one entry, multiple registers
by Femke Snelting 20 Feb '09

Dear list, I'm part of a design group Open Source Publishing, and since a few months we are using various TeX related packages. After many trials and errors we were more than happy to come accross ConTeXt and it starts to grow on us :-) For the lay-out of a multi-lingual art publication we would like to include four registers. I've searched mailinglist, manuals and wiki but can't find how to add the same entry to *multiple* registers. How should I mark up 'carrots' to make it appear in Orange AND in Vegetable? Or is \Vegetable{carrots}\Orange{carrots}{carrots} really the best way? Femke http://www.ospublish.constantvzw.org ----------------------- \defineregister[Orange][Orange] \defineregister[Vegetable][Vegetables] \starttext In a large pot combine broth, water, wine, apples, \Vegetable{carrots}\Orange{carrots}{carrots}, \Vegetable{onion}{onion}, \Vegetable{fennel}{fennel}, bay leaf, thyme and peppercorns; heat to boiling.

useURL interactionmode

Hello, I defined urls like \useURL [activepython] [{http://.test.com}][sub]. Doing \from[url] with interactive mode enabled I get 'http://test.com' written in the document and the hyperlink point to http://test.com/sub. Now, if I disable interactive mode I still get 'http://test.com' on the output, but It would be nice to have 'http://test.com/sub', since there are no hyperlinks. is there a way to do this? My idea would be to write a macro that encabsulates \useURL, but is different, depending on the interaction-mode. Regards, Severin

Problem getting output
by Charles Doherty 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Dear all, When I try to typeset a file using XeConTeXt METAFONT is called and goes into a loop trying to make the fonts you see below. I have made a clean TeX installation from the MacTeX site but the result is the same. As an alternative I installed Minimals and created an MinXeConTeXt.engine in TeXShop. Using this I get a pdf with all my fonts without a problem. I uninstalled TeX completely but with the re- installation of MacTeX 2008 I get the result below. I would be most grateful for advice on what to do to put things right.

Letter module - appendices
by Wolfgang Schuster 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi, I know at least a few people use my letter module and I want to ask them if they have a problem when I change the handling of appendices like CC and postscript. The current way to write them is \startletter [copy=..., postscript=...] ... \stopletter and I want to change this in \startletter ... \CC{...} % or \copy{...} \PS{...} % or \postscript{...} \stopletter As positive side effect of the new method would be to write \startletter \opening{...} ... \closing{...} \stopletter as a alternative way to write the opening and closing text (the old keyval works too) but the appendices can be only handled in one way. Wolfgang
