\startitemize[columns] in a figure caption
by Alan Braslau 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hello, \startitemize [columns] does not work in a figure caption (for example). [I can already hear Hans saying "of course it doesn't".] Alan "minimal" example: \starttext \startitemize [a,columns] % columns work here... \startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \stopitem \stopitemize \startplacefigure [ title={My figure \startitemize [a,columns] % ...but not here! \startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \stopitem \stopitemize } ] \externalfigure [cow] \stopplacefigure \stoptext

\ref not working in current Ctx?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hello, the wiki example doesn't work on my computer, although the wiki result seems OK: ---- \starttext See page \ref[p][myref 1] and \ref[p][myref 2]. \page \reference[myref 1]{MyRef1} This is the first reference. \page \reference[myref 2]{MyRef2} This is the second one. \stoptext ---- The result is: "See page and .", i.e. missing numbers of referred pages. Maybe versions of Ctx on wiki and on my computer differ. The mine: ConTeXt ver: 2012.04.07 14:42 MKIV fmt: 2012.4.9 int: english/english A patch needed? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

\BibTeX usage
by Kip Warner 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hey list, I assumed that there was some macro akin to \CONTEXT for the BibTeX module, and I believe there is, \BibTeX. The problem is it isn't recognized when I attempt to compile my document with it. Is there a module that must be included or something else one must do? I'd also like to be able to extract the BibTeX version as well, if possible (akin to \contextversion). -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

\description - indenting lines, "alternative=top"
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hello, another case of description (following http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg62775.html) now with "alternative=top" - I'm trying to get: XXXXXX blablabla bla bla blablabla blabla. | | |-| A constant of indenting - to be specified by the user. | | |<------------>| Text width. But my trials give just: ---- XXXXX bla bla blablabl bla bla. = "alternative=hanging" - unwanted Or: XXXXX bla bla blabla bl bla bla. = Lines after head are not indented; unwanted. ---- Does \description support any options to get the required shape?

Dump table of contents
by Kip Warner 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hey list, Is it possible to instruct ConTeXt to generate just the table of contents, skipping all other front matter, back matter, appendices, body matter, etc.? For example, only the following I'd like to see in the outputted PDF: % Contents at a glance... \title{Contents at a Glance} \placelist[chapter] % Complete table of contents... \title{Table of Contents} \placecontent Right now I am generating the full book, but then passing through pdftk manually to extract just the pages that fall within the aforementioned. I tried putting the aforementioned code in its own product file and then passing that through ConTeXt with the book's environment, but the problem is that the TOC now has nothing in it, of course. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

issue with columns
by Pablo Rodríguez 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi there, I'm experiencing a weird result when typesetting columns: \starttext The first line not using columns. \startcolumns[n=2] \input knuth \column \input tufte \stopcolumns The second line not using columns. \startcolumns \input linden \column \input ward \stopcolumns \stoptext I don't know why ward isn't typeset on the first page? What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

index for Japanese alphabet
by S Barmeier 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, I would like to include an index with Japanese terms, ordered according to the Japanese alphabet. I can say \index[kanji]{漢字} for an entry under K. For my Japanese index I imagine \index[かんじ]{漢字} to place an entry under か. Is something like this possible? The Japanese alphabet fits (almost) into a 5x10 table. Depending on the size of the index, it is customary to order an index either by column only (for a smaller index) or by table entry (top-to-bottom, right-to-left). I'd be happy with either, although the smaller one will probably suffice for my purposes... Any help on how to implement this? Many thanks, as always, Severin

Issues with linetables
by Marco 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

There are some issues with linetables. In the current version: 2012.04.07 14:42 linetables don't compile at all, example: \starttext \setuplinetable [n=2] \startlinetable \NC \input knuth \NC \input knuth \NC\NR \NC \input knuth \NC \input knuth \NC\NR \stoplinetable \stoptext Given the context version 2011.05.18 18:04 there seems to be a bug in linetables; the lines are not aligned when the columns are distributed on several pages and the lines don't fall on the same page. One-page linetables work fine. Example: \setuplinetable [n=2] \starttext \startbuffer \startlinetable \NC \input knuth \NC \input ward \NC\NR \NC \bf\input ward \NC \bf\input knuth \NC\NR \stoplinetable \stopbuffer % linetable on one single page \setuplinetable [c][1] [width=.5\textwidth] \setuplinetable [c][2] [width=.5\textwidth] \getbuffer \page % linetable streched over two pages \setuplinetable [c][1] [width=\textwidth] \setuplinetable [c][2] [width=\textwidth] \getbuffer \stoptext Regards Marco Patzer

starting batch file after first of at least two runs
by Peter Rolf 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, In the first run I collect several ImageMagick commands in a common batch file, which should be executed afterwards. A second run is also needed to include the created graphics. I tried \appendtoks\mycommand\to\everygoodbye but that does not work properly, if only one run is needed otherwise. So I need to tell ConTeXt somehow, that an additional run is needed (adding the number of runs to the command line is no option). Currently I use if tex.modes["*first"] then ... end to detect the first run. My first try was to add an 'else' condition to call the batch file once, but sadly this is also not triggered in case of a single run... What is the official way (mkiv) to add a call at the end of the first run (or the beginning of the second run)? And how can I ensure, that a second run is forced? Peter
