Re: [NTG-context] \placelist after \chapter
by Felix Ingram 12 Dec '11

Thanks Wolfgang - that works as expected. I'm trying to create a table from the headings (as previously mentioned). Something like this: \setuplist[chapter][criterium=all,alternative=command,command=\MySummaryTable,before={\setupTABLE[frame=on]\bTABLE\bTABLEbody},after={\eTABLEbody\eTABLE}] \define[3]\MySummaryTable{\bTR\bTD #1 \eTD\bTD #2 \eTD\bTD #3 \eTD\eTR} \starttext \placecontent \chapter{First one} \chapter{Second one} \chapter{Third one} \chapter{Fourth one} \chapter{Fifth one} \placelist[chapter][criterium=all] \stoptext While the content gets placed it doesn't appear in a table. I also notice that the same layout is used in the first \placecontent line. In my final document I'd like to have my headings included as usual in the table of contents but then have my own custom list appear as a table later in the document. Is it possible to define a separate format for a list that can be used outside of the ToC? Felix

Hi all, I'm looking for some information on the command \getcitedata [field][key] to \macroname i only manage to get results using a bbl file \input bibtest.bbl is there a way to use it with a bib file directly via \setupbibtex[database=mylib] so i can run context just once? Thanks Michael

Hi Hans, has something changed with \definestartstop? Setting before and after do not change the output. \definestartstop[test][before=\blank,after=\blank] \starttext before \test{test} after \stoptext Tested with the current beta- and experimental-branch. Regards Andreas

\placelist after \chapter
by Felix Ingram 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hi all, I can't seem to get a list placed after a numbered heading. For example: \starttext \title{First one} \placelist[chapter] \chapter{Second one} \placelist[chapter] % This won't be placed \stoptext Is this something I should be able to do? The reason I ask is that I'm looking to generate a summary table in my document that will contain information from my page titles. I'd like to have the heading title, the page number and possibly some meta-info that I'm passing to my custom command. (I'm planning on passing a custom command in the \setuplist command). If it's not possible to \placelist's after numbered headings then could someone suggest an alternative method? Many thanks, Felix

I should be fairly content with couple of minimal examples, mostlyI manage to elaborate from there once I get the first thing working. Thanks, Mari

OT: How to reference the ConTeXt project?
by Paul Menzel 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Dear Hans and ConTeXt folks, how do you want me to reference ConTeXt? Is there an article you prefer or should I just use the reference manual or the Wiki? Hans Hagen and others (2011), http://contextgarden.net/ Thanks, Paul

gnuplot: `! Undefined control sequence.` with format specifier %
by Paul Menzel 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Dear Mojca and ConTeXt folks, I compiled gnuplot 4.5 from source (master) and got everything running. Mojca, thank you so much! Trying the example from the gnuplot page in the Wiki [1] \usemodule[gnuplot] \setupGNUPLOT[terminal=mp,option=color] % general settings for the whole document \startGNUPLOTinclusions # you may use TeX commands to format the titles and axes set title '\bf Trigonometry' set xlabel '$x$' set ylabel '$y$' set format y '\%.1f' \stopGNUPLOTinclusions \startGNUPLOTscript[tan] plot tan(x) t '$\tan(x)$' \stopGNUPLOTscript \startGNUPLOTscript[sin] plot 4*sin(x)+x t '$4\sin(x)+x$', x t '$x$' lt 3 \stopGNUPLOTscript \useGNUPLOTgraphic[tan] \useGNUPLOTgraphic[sin][width=10cm] even with the comments removed as above I get the following though. [1.1] [1.1] [1.1] ! Undefined control sequence. l.66 \0 .0% ? [1.1] ! Undefined control sequence. l.71 \1 0.0% ? [1.1] ! Undefined control sequence. l.76 \2 0.0% ? [1.1] ! Undefined control sequence. l.81 \3 0.0% ? ^C! Interruption. <to be read again> 0 l.81 \30 .0% ? I hope that is not related to the used ConTeXt version. ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.25 21:29 MKII fmt: 2011.11.25 int: english/english Actually I hope that it is since then upgrading would fix my issue. ;-) Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Gnuplot

Do you suggest me to publish an article about the terminal in arXiv, to get at least some citations by the time when I need to submit my thesis? :P But no, I don't have it. I could try to create one though, but I'm not even sure what the webpage should be. Many scientific programs just ask to cite their first article in some scientific journal if one uses the software, but I neither have an article nor homepage apart from that (still outdated) wiki page. There is some additional documentation on https://github.com/mojca/context-gnuplot/tree/master/texmf/doc/context/thir… (possibly also in minimals, but I'm not sure when I last synced the version), but even that is outdated now since they required from me to strip down terminal options parsing code.

However if the Lua code did interpret the number into an internal format it would enable other things like normalisation to scientific or engineering form, etc. However the internal format would have to support arbitrarily long numbers and exponents ... Lua's built-in internal number format (a double precision float, I think) would not do, so there would be a bit of coding involved. Robin
