MetaFun: MetaPost example works with `mpost` but not embedded in ConTeXt: `! Redundant equation.`
by Paul Menzel 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, looking for graphics example and therefore searching the list I found the answer from David Arnold in the ntg-context list thread »OT: looking for metapost/fun examples« [1]. It is for plain MetaPost and works fine with `mpost` after making sure to remove the line breaks inserted by the mail program. I then copied it into `\{start,stop}useMPgraphic`, removed the `end ;` and `{begin,end}fig` and replaced `{e,b}tex` by `textext()` but still get the following error. ! terminal: ! Redundant equation. <to be read again> ; <*> ...500; dt:=(tstop-tstart)/N; (b-a)*ux=1.75in; (d-c)*uy=1.75in; q=(a,c)-... !

wider right margin when it shouldn't be
by Pablo Rodríguez 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Hi there, compiling this document: \setuppapersize[A4] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=singlesided,location=middle] \starttext \showsetups \dorecurse{4}{\input dawkins \par \input knuth \par} \stoptext I should get the exact same length for left and right margin (defining margin as the total distance from the page edge to the text body edge [sorry, it isn't as accurate as it should, but I would like to avoid misunderstandings]). Setups show also that margin width and distance are equal for both sides. What I see on my laptop (and what I have seen on the printed version) is that the right margin is wider than the left one. Is there something wrong or which is the measure I'm missing? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

orphan and widow lines
by Pablo Rodríguez 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Hi there, I have been using ConTeXt for some months and one of the things I cannot control is orphan or widow lines appearing in my documents. Isn't there a general method to avoid them? (This should set ragged bottoms, but I'd rather have ragged bottoms than orphan or widow lines.) Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

bug with \setuplayout[setups=*strict]?
by Pablo Rodríguez 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Hi there, I read a previous message on this list form Wolgang that \setuplayout[setups=*strict] is the ConTeXt way to avoid orphan and widow lines. I have tried that before checking that \widowpenalty=10000\clubpenalty=10000\raggedbottom doesn't change anything on my documents. The problem with the first code is that it breaks some pages in clearly wrong places (it breaks the page on the seventh line of a A4 page). I don't know how I could provide an example, since the document is a personal document that I cannot share with third parties. Is there no other way to avoid orphan and widow lines? I need it urgently. Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

∫ is not displayed correctly compared to $\int$.
by Paul Menzel 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, using ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 22:26 MKIV fmt: 2011.5.27 int: english/english the following example produces different integral signs. --- minimal example --- \starttext Using the NEO keyboard layout several math symbols can be inserted directly like $∫$ or $∩$. But $\int$ and $∫$ look differently. \stoptext --- minimal example --- Please find all files attached. Thanks, Paul [1] http://neo-layout.org/

Number formatting in \unit
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

All, I have put together some suggestions to extend the number formatting capability in \unit, particularly for scientific and engineering purposes, including basic support for tolerances and uncertainties. It is a bit long, so source is attached and a PDF is at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36891398/units6.pdf Of course, this is just my opinion, so I welcome any feedback from the list. Best, Robin

Bibliography: Any styles including URL?
by Paul Menzel 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, type setting my thesis with ConTeXt I still use BibTeX to manage my references. Since a lot of references are available online I want to include the URL if they are available. I read the ConTeXt publication module documentation [1] and as far as I can see, there are some predefined layouts included in ConTeXt but none of them seem to include the URL when passed. The Bibliography documentation [1] also mentions that setting this up is tedious. So I am hoping I can profit from someone else’s work and use it. Could someone share such a style please for a mathematical thesis in German? That would be much appreciated. Thanks, Paul [1] http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/bibmod-doc/doc/context/bib/bibmod-doc.p…

Bibliography: How to get `\completepublications` to use different title?
by Paul Menzel 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, reading the Wiki page [1] and the documentation [2] I could not find a way to change the default used `\chapter` [3] to `\subject` which I need, because the references have to be set without a number and my “highest” level is `\section` otherwise. Is there something similar to `\setupheadtext[en][pubs=References]` for other settings? I do not know how the publication-enviroment(?) is called. \setupbibtex[database=sample, sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa, criterium=all] % Show reference numbers in the generated list. \starttext \section{Example} As \cite[hh2010b] already indicated, bibtex is a \LaTeX-centric program. \CONTEXT\ \contextmark\ \contextversion \completepublications \stoptext Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography [2] http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/bibmod-doc/doc/context/bib/bibmod-doc.p… [3] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles
