extras in \cite
by Devendra Ghate 21 Feb '13

Hello Everyone, A while back Aditya provided a patch for using *alternative=authornum* in *\cite*. The patch adds et al. for the cases with more than two authors. I have been using it without a hitch since then. However, today I tried to use *extras* option with this patch and it won't work. The MWE works for *alternative=apa* and *alternative=num* Please let me know if this can be rectified. Regards, Devendra *MWE* \setupbibtex[database={bib}] \unprotect \def\dobibauthornumref#1% {\bibinsertrefsep \doifbibreferencefoundelse{#1} {\begingroup \cite[left=,right=,alternative=author][#1]% \bibalternative\c!inbetween \cite[num][#1]% \endgroup} {}} \protect \starttext \cite[alternative=authornum,extras={,\S 5.1}][citation1] \placepublications \stoptext ----------- bib.bib ----------- @article{citation1, title = {Kernel independent component analysis}, author = {Bach, F.

Quick slide templates
by Kumar Appaiah 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Dear ConTeXt list, This could be more of a style and TeX question than a ConTeXt question. Nevertheles: I am making a presentation that involves some simple animations. The way I make those animations is by: 1. Stopping page numbering. 2. Flipping through the same slide repeated, but with img0, img1, img2 etc. 3. Start page numbering. The problem with my naïve approach of repeating slides is that fixing a spelling error or making changes implies that I have to do it several times for an “animated” slide, and is error-prone. Could you point me to a way by which I can make a slide something like a “function” whose argument is the image, and calling it creates that slide with an image? FWIW, I use texexec --xtx, but I am guessing a LuaTeX solution would be simpler. The XeTeX solution is what I am not able to find now. Thanks! Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah

HTML output
by Troy Henderson 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

I would like to convert my ConTeXt document to both PDF and "plain" HTML. I need plain HTML output (i.e., not XML or XHTML) because my institution's web based management software allows me to copy/paste plain HTML snippets but not XML or XHTML. Is it possible for ConTeXt to output HTML so that the result looks as close to the PDF output as possible? Troy Henderson

[OT] For Dutch TeXies: exposition in Leiden on 330 years of academic typesetting+publishing
by Sietse Brouwer 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hello all, (This will probably only interest Netherlands-based TeXies, sorry. But I'll write it in English, so at least everyone can read it. ^_^) There's an exhibition on in Leiden about historical academic typesetting, to celebrate the 330th anniversary of the publishing house Brill. Perhaps this exhibition would be fun to go to with some ConTeXt users? Links to the exhibition: http://www.museumboerhaave.nl/tentoonstellingen/nu-en-straks/geletterd-gele… http://www.museumboerhaave.nl/english/exhibitions/literate-learned/ The exhibition is at Museum Boerhaave, admittance 9.50 € (free for students), and it will run through Sunday the 19th of May. If this sounds like fun: send me an e-mail off-list (sbbrouwer(a)gmail.com) with the weekends that are an option for you (list of weekends below), and we'll work out a date so that as many people as possible can come. For people who are thinking "I'm not so active on this list, he doesn't mean me": you are hereby explicitly invited. ;-) Cheers, Sietse List of weekends until the end, please copy and indicate what dates would be suitable for you: 23-24 feb 02-03 mrt 09-10 mrt 16-17 mrt 23-24 mrt 06-07 apr 13-14 apr 20-21 apr 27-28 apr (04-05 may is Liberation Day) 11-12 mei 18-19 mei

\setupitemgroup symbol
by Troy Henderson 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

I would like to use the section symbol \S as the symbol of an itemized (non-enumerated) list. It seems that the wiki shows 9 predefined bullet types, but I don't see how to use a custom bullet type. Troy

Spurious line when indenting with tabs using database module
by Marco Patzer 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi, I get an extra line when I use tabs for indentation, indenting with spaces works fine. Example: \usemodule [database] \defineseparatedlist [CSV] [before=\bTABLE, after=\eTABLE, first=\bTR, last=\eTR, left=\bTD, right=\eTD] \starttext %% indentation with spaces works \startCSV alpha, 10 beta, 20 gamma, 30 \stopCSV %% indentation with tabs produces spurious extra line \startCSV alpha, 10 beta, 20 gamma, 30 \stopCSV %% some weird indentation works, but looks awkward \startplacetable \startCSV alpha, 10 beta, 20 gamma, 30 \stopCSV \stopplacetable \stoptext This looks like a bug.

bug in paragraph notes
by Pablo Rodríguez 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi Hans, two months ago, I reported a bug with paragraph linenotes not properly separated from body. Here was my sample: \definelinenote[A] \setupnote[A][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[A][alternative=serried] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{500}{body\A{note} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Wolfgang confirmed that the bug appeared with paragraph notes: \setupnote [footnote][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[footnote][alternative=serried,display=no] \starttext \dorecurse{200}{text text text\footnote{note} } \stoptext Using the beta from today, the bug is still there. Could you fix the bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
