Hi, There have been some posts with respect to bib modules. As Thomas is coordinating these modules, I wait with fixing till I get a summary + examples.

wrong name of a *.top file
by Leo Razoumov 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi All, I am a new ConTeXt user coming from LaTeX background. I am using ConTeXt minimals "current" version on Linux (Ubuntu-9.04) ConTeXt ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKIV fmt: 2010.11.18 int: english/english LuaTeX, Version beta-0.64.0-2010111215 My file is named foo.11.tex (notice two "." in a filename). After running "context foo.11.tex" a bunch of files get created with the names such as foo.11.log foo.11.pdf foo.11.tex foo.11.tuc In addition there is a file named "foo.top" but NO "foo.11.top". Inspecting the file "foo.11.log" I noticed the line: systems : no foo.11.top Please, correct me if I am wrong but I think that proper name of the *.toc file in this case should be "foo.11.top" and not "foo.top". Somehow the present of two "." in a filename messed up context/luatex. If I rename the file to, let say, "foo-22.tex" with only a single "." remaining, then problem is gone and the file "foo-22.top" is properly generated and loaded. --Leo--

bib: ignoring 'criterium=cite'
by Mojca Miklavec 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Dear Taco/Hans, In MKIV the argument criterium=cite is ignored: I get the complete list of publications even though some of them are never cited anywhere. In MKII the list shows up just fine. On top of that the space between number [n] and bibliography item is simply too small when 10 or more bibliography items are used (in MKII it is fine). On the other hand MKII doesn't have enough blank space between title and the start of bibliography listing (I remember that bug since 2006 at least), while it is OK in MKIV. I use: \setuppublications [alternative=num, criterium=cite, sorttype=cite] But I will send a complete minimal example, hopefully tomorrow. Mojca

conference type broken in bibliography module [was: Bibliography contains references not cited in the text]

To follow up on this: after further investigation it seems the bibtex @conference entry type is broken. All such entries in my bibtex database appear as blanks in the bibliography. Below is a minimal example with an attached bibtex database. Any idea how to solve this or where to look? \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[backspace=1.25in, width=middle,topspace=0.75in,headerheight=0.5in,bottomspace=0.75in,footerheight=0.5in] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \setuphead[section][textstyle=bold, numberstyle=bold, continue=yes] \setupbibtex[database=references,sort=author] \setuppublications[refcommand=authoryear,sorttype=bbl] \setupcite[authoryears][left=,right=] \starttext \section{Main Body} This file is for testing whether the bibliography works. There seems to be some problem. Let's cite a conference article: \cite[reynolds:defints1972]. And another conference article: \cite[maranget:cpm]. Let's cite a journal article: \cite[reynolds:defints]. Let's cite a book: \cite[gordon:holbook]. Let's cite something unpublished: \cite[geuvers:gammainf]. Let's cite a miscellaneous item: \cite[coq]. \section{references} \placepublications \stoptext

Portable linux Minimals installation?
by Marco Pessotto 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hello list! It's happening to me that I have to travel to a place where there's no broadband access, and I'd like to take ConTeXt with me. So I can't just run the installer and rsync the trees. Now, the question is: is it safe to tarball the ConTeXt root directory with executable and texmf trees, and move it around (on another machine)? Or are there hardcoded paths that prevents this? I couldn't find anything about this on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals Thanks in advance. -- Marco

Using Bold SmallCaps in LuaTeX - typescript
by ... 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Good evening! First of all, I'm new to this list and also a context/luatex newbe. I have some experience with LaTeX. I want to use a font (Neutraface2) in my documents and I'm struggeling with the typescript. I'm not able to get bold SmallCaps working (the bold face .otf file has the feature smcp, I checked). I tried various combinations and variations of \bf \sc in my document. It gives me bold OR smallcaps, but not bold AND smallcaps. Whats wrong here? Can someone give me an example typescript that I could modify to fit the Neutraface2 font? My attempt to make one is attached. Greetings, Chris

http://beta.cell.com/ Is this the future of (scientific) publishing? Whereas it may seem to be simply a web format, its impact may change the way we present information, indeed the way that we write. Alan
