Project, product, component...
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hello, I'm trying to use advantages of project/product/component structure. Suppose having a very simple example (both files in the same directory): ---- Prod.mkiv \startproduct PPP \component Comp.mkiv Product \stopproduct ---- And: ---- Comp.mkiv \startcomponent CCC Component \stopcomponent ---- When I compile Comp.mkiv, I get (successfully) text "Component". When I compile Prod.mkiv, I get (successfully) text "Product Component". So the question - what are "PPP" and "CCC" identifiers (following \startproduct and \starcomponent respectively) used or intended for? - So far, it seems to me that I refer to file names (as with \input) when working with components rather than their ids assigned by \startcomponent or \startproduct. What would be a situation when I'd need to use ids "CCC" or "PPP" (or later, those assigned by "\startproduct PROD" and "\startenvironment ENV")? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Float on opposite page
by Charles 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi, I have a problem with float positioning. I would like to have text on even pages and text on odd pages. I tried: - "\placetable[opposite]" but then the tables are not included. - "\placetable[rightpage]" but then each table is on a new page. I would like to have my figures/tables on a new even page, but if 2 figures/tables fit on one page, they should not be on two different pages but together on the same even page (I was thinking "opposite" should do that). Thanks for your help Charles \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, maecenas malesuada, ut tellus ac a egestas donec, lectus aliquam, purus orci fermentum porta sed.

Scribus vs ConTeXt
by Kip Warner 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hey folks, I was wondering if someone could offer a meaningful comparison in a nutshell to a layperson of the pros and cons of using Scribus versus ConTeXt. I actually just discovered the former today. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Re: [NTG-context] Is it bibliography really problem for MKIV?

I had a look at your examples. First, if the sequence of cited items is important for you (and it is because you want sorttype=cite), I wouldn't put citations and figures into a buffer, that's asking for trouble. That leaves the problem with a \cite command within a caption. This looks like a real bug to me; I hope Hans has the time to look into it. The minimal example is: \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications[alternative=ams, sorttype=cite] \starttext citations are \cite[hh2010b] and \cite[hh2010a]. \placefigure[force][fig1]{Caption of figure \cite[Eijkhout1991]} {\externalfigure[fig1]} \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stoptext All best Thomas

Hi all, I want to use the \definecolumnsetspan for typesetting text in columns as described in the Columns manual (2003) by Hans, but get an Undefined control sequence ... error when using it! Maybe all this is not supported anymore but I don't know for sure. Anybody any idea on how to proceed?! Regards, Gerard Verhaag

Re: [NTG-context] Font embedding

Just a little P. S. Here is the typical view of fully embedded fonts (Scribus made): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/embedded.png And here the typical view of subset fonts (ConTeXt made): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/subset.png I will try to discuss that with somebody from the industry... Honza

Is it bibliography really problem for MKIV?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hello ConTeXist.. I have an unusual question: Is it bibliography really such a big problem for MKIV or I am unable to do? Do you have some experience in the bibliography at MKIV? Can you refer me to a source of information about this? Submitter thesis has a very strict requirement to the list of bibliography. The numbering of bibliographic items must be in the same order in which items are used in the text. Moreover, in the form of AMS is, [1], [2], etc. I've tried many hours, but I am absolutely not able to achieve the required form. I do not believe that I will eventually have to write a thesis in LaTeX because of the stupid request. May possibly be some way around? It occurred to me to do an emergency way. I want redefine of the \cite macro to macro \CITE. The \CITE macro put me list the order bibliographic items and then I arrange manually a list of bibliographic entries. Or exist any external tools for that do it? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

Length of section line in a table of contents
by Charles 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi, In the following example, the section titles are long. In the table of contents, the section titles are written like normal paragraph (ending at the rightmost, with the page number). With an older version of Context beta (about a year ago), the paragraphs with the section title were shorter and not overlapping with the page number. How can I obtain again that property? Thanks Charles \starttext \section{Text and more text and even more text and still more text till it stops} \section{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, maecenas malesuada, ut tellus ac a egestas donec, lectus aliquam, purus orci fermentum porta sed.
