Rendering differences between PDF viewers
by Kip Warner 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

Hey list, I've noticed an unfortunate visual difference in my document's colours when rendered with Evince 2.32.0 where they come out as expected (or even with Zathura) against Adobe Reader 9.5.7. Rendered with Evince 2.32.0: https://www.avaneya.com/temp/evince.png Rendered with Adobe Reader 9.5.7: https://www.avaneya.com/temp/reader.png Note how the latter is overly saturated in the red. Does anyone have any clues as to why this might happen and what I might do to make it appear as intended in Adobe Reader? I wonder if this might have something to do with different renderer's different gamma correction? It's kind of funny that this could happen because I thought the whole point of PDFs was that they were truly portable. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Referncing the Bibliography Appendix
by Kip Warner 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

Hey list, How do I set a reference to my bibliography. I don't mean a citation, but the complete list. I have a \completepublications already which dumps the list properly, but I cannot link to it. I tried \in{appendix}[References] and \in{appendix}[Publications], but neither works. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

fancybreak or alternative
by Henning Hraban Ramm 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hi Wolfgang and others, I had in my book: \usemodule[fancybreak] % https://bitbucket.org/wolfs/fancybreak/ \setupfancybreak[indentnext=no] \def\Space{\fancybreak{\strut}} % i.e. just an empty line But at least with my current version of ConTeXt (i.e. from 2010-11-29) I get: --- ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 9 in file prd_feenbuch.tex: Undefined control sequence ... \dododowithnextbox ...\usefancybreakstyleandcolor \c!style \c!color \aftergr... \Space ->\fancybreak { \strut } l.9 \Space --- I don’t really need the fancybreak module, just an interspace without indent after it. \noindent doesn’t work. How to? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Registers with distinguishable entries.
by Robert Blackstone 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Dear list, For a book in the area of musicology I would like to make one register with entries of different kinds, distinguishable by their appearance in the register (or index or whatever). The index entries will mostly be authors, including composers, musical terms and musical compositions. The titles of the compositions and the foreign words are set in italic characters throughout in the text of the book. What I would like is to be able to distinguish all entries according to whether they are treated in the text, are shown in a musical example, or are mentioned only in a foot- or endnote. In many books page numbers indicating illustrations are set in italics. Pagenumbers indicating foot- or endnotes often have a suffix "n". Furthermore, when an indexed item is discussed on a number of consecutive pages, usually a range is given in the index, like 144-53, or 143 ff. Can all this be done in ConTeXt, and if so, can anybody give me advice on how to do it? I have tried making three different Registers, for text, for illustrations and for notes, but I cannot figure out how to combine them into one index. But also, whatever I set in \setupregister, they all look exactly the same: textstyle regular, pagestyle slanted. Moreover, in \setupindex (or whatever other name for the register), [indicator=no] is ignored. Are these bugs or am I doing things the wrong way? I add a (not so) minimal example. Thanks in advance for any help. Robert Blackstone

Example only works in mkii
by Bill Meahan 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hi, folks. I've tried running the example from the "descriptions" article on the wiki and it works fine if I use MkII via "texexec" but fails miserably if I use MlIV via "context." Outside of changing "location" to "alternative" in the \definedescription command parameters, what else do I need to change to make the example run with MkIV? TIA! -- Bill Meahan K8QN Cat: n; A purr-bearing mammal

I had seen the small print in that page but had obviously not read it carefully enough. So two of my problems are solved, the main wish, to be able to make an index with distinguishable entries, is still unfulfilled, not only for me but for at least two others. Let's someone on the list can shine some light on that one too. Kind regards, Robert

I always wondered what the plural form of the name between the second pair of square brackets in the \setup command was for (I still do). But anyway, this solved one problem. Kind regards, Robert

[MKIV] Itemize "nowhite" option broken
by Pierre-François Bonnefoi 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hello, I'm currently porting my work to the mkIV version of ConTeXt : I've found this annoying regression with this simple example : \starttext Some previous sentence before the list \startitemize[columns,n,nowhite] \item one \item two \stopitemize \startitemize[continue,columns,nowhite] \item one \item two \stopitemize \startitemize[continue,columns,nowhite] \item one \item two \stopitemize And the text continues after the list \stoptext I get some space between itemization with mkIV that I don't get with mkII. I use the standalone version on ConTeXt. mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.52 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /Volumes/MacBookProInternal/Users/pef/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2012.04.25 17:29 Thank you for your support, best regards, Pierre-François Bonnefoi. -- Bonnefoi Pierre-Francois | E-mail : bonnefoi(a)unilim.fr Universite de Limoges, Laboratoire XLIM | Tel : 06 28 18 03 38 83, rue d'Isle | Mrs. Peel, we're needed... 87000 Limoges - FRANCE | The Avengers.
