two problems with xml processing
by Thomas A. Schmitz 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi all, I am encountering two problems with xml processing; minimal example below. My questions/observations: 1. How can I prevent every index term to be sorted under "x" (for \xmlflush)? 2. What is the readon that the \cite command displays this bizarre behavior and the list of references is empty when I use authornum as refcommand? Thanks and all best! Thomas \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications [refcommand=authornum] \starttext \startbuffer[demo] <document> <p>Madame Bovary is a novel by Gustave <indexterm>Flaubert, Gustave</indexterm>Flaubert. This has been demonstrated in <citation>hh2010</citation> in 2010.</p> </document> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:test \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{document|p|indexterm|citation}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:test} \startxmlsetups xml:document \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1} \par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:indexterm \index{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:citation \cite[{\xmlflush{#1}}] \stopxmlsetups \xmlprocessbuffer{whatever}{demo}{} \page \placepublications[criterium=all] \page \placeregister[index] \stoptext

link to component
by Daniel Schopper 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi, I'm using a product/component structure with interaction but it seems that hyperlink targets pointing to manually set pagereferences in another component file do not work as they should: The line/page numbers on the link is correct, but the hyperlinks points to _component.pdf_ (which opens, if it has been compiled by itself before, otherwise the link is just going nowhere) instead of the page in product.pdf On the other hand, hyperlinks to a chapter/... head work as expected. I haven't used interaction much until now, so I might well be missing something, but this seems like a bug to me. Thanks in advance! Daniel Working minimal example: --------------------------- My product.tex looks like this: \setupinteraction[state=start] \startproduct product \startbodymatter %\at and \inline -> \pagereference[knuth] don't work cf. Knuth at \at{p.}[knuthpage] \inline{line}[knuth] % \in -> \chapter[knuthchap] works in \in{Chapter}[knuthchap]. \stopbodymatter \startappendices \component appendix \stopappendices \stopproduct -------------- And my appendix.tex looks like this: \startcomponent appendix \product product \chapter[knuthchap]{Knuth} \startlinenumbering \startline[knuth]\input knuth\stopline[knuth] \stoplinenumbering \page Some problem here.\pagereference[knuthpage] \stopcomponent

References to footnotes in index
by Robert Blackstone 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Dear List, I posted this question before, (28 december, ntg-context Digest, Vol 102, Issue 65) but there was little activity on the list around that time and my question may have been overlooked. So that is why I give it another try. The book that I am working on has an index of authors. On some pages of the book an author's name only occurs in a footnote. Is it possible in ConTeXt to mark, in the index, those occurrences in footnotes so that in these cases not only the page number appears in the index but also, preferably as superscript, the footnote number on that page? As for example: Arnold, Franck Th. 283 indicating footnote 3 on page 28 (the "3" should have been superscript here but I cannot make a superscript in this mail editor) Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Metafun textext()
by Alan BRASLAU 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Metafun textext() has been changed in an attempt to be more efficient. However, this has a side effet that it now handles colors differently, among other things. The following example, intended to cause difficulties for the color blind, no longer works. Is this a bug or a feature? \starttext \startMPcode picture T ; T := thelabel(textext("I'm seeing double"),origin) ; draw T withcolor green ; draw T shifted (-1mm,1mm) withcolor blue ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Alan

Metapost nodes.
by Andre Caldas 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hello! 1. How does a metapost figure (\startMPcode) becomes a node? 2. When does it become a node? 3. What type of node it becomes? 4. Can I change its attributes? 5. Can I change its colors or transparency levels? André Caldas.

Hans, This is a most lucid explanation. I have been waiting for this myself. To quote the great American philosopher, Corporal Radar O'Reilly, from the television show of the 1970s, M*A*S*H: Ah, Bark! [He was instructed to say Ah, Baaacccch! by Hawkeye Pierce] I apologise in advance for this most peculiar and culturally specific bit of history.

Re: [NTG-context] hbar (and probably some other symbols) doesn't work in latest beta

Dear Michael and Otared, After updating ConTeXt to the latest version(2013.01.02.) and run the sample code. > > \starttext > $\hbar$ > \stoptext But I also got empty page. If I add either \setupbodyfont[xits] or \enablemode[lmmath], \hbar appeared. I also use Mac OSX mountain lion 64bit, luatex beta 0.74. In the log file, I found the message "Missing character:…" %%%%%%%%% … fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'loc' (/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv){/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} … … Missing character: There is no ħ (U+0127) in font texgyretermesmath-regular! backend > xmp > using file '/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' … %%%%%%%%% I think that Otared doesn't have this kind of message. Do you have any idea to fix this? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung
