bibtex sample file and possible bibtex bug
by Andy Thomas 30 May '12

30 May '12

Hello, while looking to include a citation in a sample document, I was wondering if the 'sample.bib' in 'standalone/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/bib/sample.bib' can be used the same way as e.g. '\input tufte', but I could not make it work. example document: \setupbibtex[database=sample,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \starttext document.\cite[Eijkhout1991] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext Also note that the 'alternative=apa' line leads to 'publications > warning: unknown cite argument Eijkhout1991 on line \the\inputlineno' instead of the actual number.

A bibliography difficulty
by Alasdair McAndrew 30 May '12

30 May '12

In my list of references, I can't get the author or title (of journal article) to print. In my .tex file, I have the following lines: \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[alternative=ams,refcommand=num,numbering=yes] and in my .bbl file the (so far) only reference is: \startpublication[k=birn06, t=article, a=D.~Birnbache, y=1999] \author{Dieter}{}{Birnbache} \title{The Socratic method in teaching medical ethics: Potentials and limitations} \pubyear{1999} \journal{Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy} \volume{2} \issue{3} \pages{219-224} \stoppublication However, when I typeset the file, the reference list consists of [1] , Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 2, 219 (1999). I'm a little confused about all the variables, commands and parameters. So - first, what am I doing wrong? Second, are there somewhere out there some example files of bibliography usage (I learn best by seeing what other people have done, and adapting that to my own ends)? Third: can I include the references in the body of the .tex file (as you can do with LaTeX and the thebibliography environment)? Thanks, Alasdair -- Blog: http://amca01.wordpress.com Web: http://sites.google.com/site/amca01/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alasdair.mcandrew

Is it possible to define a custom imposition schema? (sure it is, but how?)
by Marco Pessotto 30 May '12

30 May '12

Hello there. I'd need a custom imposition schema, just like the 2*4*2, but first the sheets will be folded, then inserted in signatures of 16 pages, and then finally bound. (They said the machine can fold only one sheet). I came up with 3 "solutions" (or 3 hacks, as you wish): 1. psutils/pstops 2. layers 3. hack page-imp.mkiv 1. The first solution would be the faster, but after spending a day on it I gave up, because I have endless issue with cropped pages, paper dimension not correctly set, and I only scratched the surface. I don't know if exists some support for psutils (doesn't look so), but I have the feeling that software is pretty dead. 2. Layers: I'm attaching the code below. Does it seem sensible, or is there a better way to do it? (I'll create a template from that, and will loop over every 16 pages with the usual perl hack). It seems to work, even if visually it looks a bit shifted to right (I can adjust it manually). [An alternate approach could be just various \hbox, but maybe the layer solution is better for absolute positioning] 3. page-imp.mkiv would be the best solution (obviously). I've dug a bit into the code, but I'm in deep waters. I can't understand where the sequence of the pages is defined. the \pusharrangedpageSCHEMA seems just to define the position inside the page, not the sequence of the shipped out page. Also, what are \c_page_marks_nx and \c_page_marks_ny? Any hint about how this machinery works?

Spacing for {\cal P} in XITS
by Janne Junnila 30 May '12

30 May '12

Hi, I just noticed that the spacing after ${\cal P}$ looks a bit too tight (non-existent?) while using XITS fonts. \setupbodyfont[xits] \starttext The spacing of ${\cal P}$ looks like this. \stoptext I'm not sure if the other calligraphic letters are totally fine either, but this one caught my eye. I suppose it's a font issue. Any ideas? Best regards, Janne Junnila

Apology
by yuji sakai 29 May '12

29 May '12

Good day! I would like to apologize for whatever trouble my earlier post caused the message archive system. Rest assured that no ill intention was behind that. Honestly, I haven't been posting anything for quite a while now, and I have already forgotten how to... At least in a proper way. I was caught up in the middle of something earlier as I was trying to look for a solution to my problem when I posted my query. It was only after Mojca called my attention just now that I noticed that I have not deleted the rest of the unrelated posts in the bulletin that I used to reach the mailing list. Only now did I realize what a mess that has caused. I am still learning the ropes in using ConTeXt MKIV. But instead of asking questions about the things that I needed done, I have done my best to search for the answers myself. Only when I feel (at the time) that my search has been futile do I come to this mailing list for help... And that is as a last resort. To Aditya, thank you very much for your very prompt reply. I already knew the unicode for the recipe sign prior to posting my inquiry, and was hoping there would be another way to do it. At the time of posting, I was having problems typesetting unicode characters in MKIV but soon figured that out by the time I received Aditya's response. But nonetheless, I am grateful for Aditya's help. Cheating, I believe, has a connotation of one bypassing the norms to gain undue advantage over others. To that, I refuse to admit that what I did earlier was cheating. As I have said, I had no intention of disrupting this message board. It was a careless mistake on my part. Anyway, thank you all for your help. Joel

Math fonts in TeXLive 2012
by Tim Steenvoorden 29 May '12

29 May '12

Hi all, I'm testing some math fonts with ConTeXt in the current TeXLive pretest (2012.05.25 18:21). I'm not sure which are supposed to work with MKIV, but I found typescripts for the following ones in type-imp-*.mkiv which are also included in TeXLive: * Latin Modern * Euler * Asana * Palatino (px) * Times (tx) * Utopia (mathdesign) * Charter (mathdesign) * Garamond (mathdesign) * Antykwa Torunska * Iwona * Kurier * Xits Compiling the example in the attachment I found than Euler and all Mathdesign derivatives are not working. Does anyone know if Millenial will be supported by TeXLive 2012? Also MKII supported Fourier (for Utopia and Schoolbook). What is the status of this font in MKIV? Cheers, Tim P.S. Euler is working in the 2012.05.26 16:40 Standalone version.

pushing margintext up
by Andy Thomas 29 May '12

29 May '12

Hello all, is there a way for margintext to 'respect' the lower border of the page and push the margintext up, pushing other margintexts upwards while doing so? example: \definepapersize[wissenschaft][width=170mm,height=240mm] \setuppapersize [wissenschaft] \setuplayout [topspace=40pt, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, backspace=42pt, leftmargin=0pt, width=280pt, height=560pt, rightmargindistance=20pt, rightmargin=100pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupmargindata [margintext] [location=outer, width=100pt, align=flushouter] \starttext \showframe \input tufte \input tufte \input tufte\margintext{This is too low, if there are many words in this note.} \stoptext Kind of hard to explain, I hope the example makes everything clear.

How to typeset recipe symbol for a doctor's prescription pad

29 May '12

Good day! Been trying to typeset a prescription pad template for a doctor but am stumped at the recipe symbol. Searched the internet for help but I just couldn't find it. Hope someone who has tried using this symbol in MKIV can help me with this one. Thanks.
