Tracking down error in publication list
by Richard Stephens 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hello, I am preparing a document with a publication list generated from BibTeX but I get the following error: ! LuaTeX error .../context/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:83: attempt to compare nil with number stack traceback: .../context/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:83: in function <.../context/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:80> [C]: in function 'sort' .../context/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:93: in function 'flush' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \typesetpubslist ...hacks.flush("\@@pbsorttype ")} \doendoflist \dodoplacepublications ...sttrue \typesetpubslist \inpublistfalse \endgroup ... <to be read again> Is there a way I can narrow down what and where the problem is? At the moment I'm stumped. I've tried removing some of the \cite commands recently added, but to no avail. Is the problem in the BibTeX file or in my document? Any help would be much appreciated.

slightly OT: tablets
by Thomas A. Schmitz 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi all, this is slightly OT, but maybe someone here has a helpful suggestion: since the announcement of Apple's iPad, tablets have become the rage. I am somewhat underwhelmed by this type of computer, but I see one area where it might be interesting to have one of those babies, and that's presentations. What I'm dreaming about: a tablet that would be able to show my manuscript (of course, a pdf produced with ConTeXt) on it's own screen and drive a presentation (again, pdf) on an external screen/digital projector. That way, I would need only one technical device, no paper etc. for my presentations. I even called Apple, but they said there is no app yet for doing this on an iPad. Do any of you have any insights: is there anything on the market yet that would make this possible? Is it at all feasible? Does it sound like a reasonable idea? All best Thomas

lua args or how to identify the interpreter
by Philipp Gesang 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi all, what would be an elegant way to make out the current interpreter from inside lua? For now I'm branching things at the top of the script like this: ···8<·········································································· if arg[-1] == "texlua" then utf=unicode.utf8 else require "lpeg" utf=string end ···8<·········································································· because I have neither slnunicode nor a built-in lpeg on my system's lua installation. The problem is that luatex has arg[-1] == nil but arg[0] == "luatex", and context sets all args to nil, so my crude way of determining the interpreter by cl args fails with both. I tried something like "local string = utf or string" as well, but this works only in context which has utf==unicode.utf8 or something. Thanks for your help Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Hi, \setupinteraction enables links from a TOC entry to its respective page. But how do I do the "jump back"? (ie. from a section heading to its entry in the TOC) Steffen

component key for \framed
by Wolfgang Schuster 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Hi Hans, the 'component' for \framed does not work, looking at the source reveals that it can be used to hide the framed content in the document by disabling the corresponding pdf layer but the following example shows there is no layer for the frame. \showlayoutcomponents \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \setlayoutcomponentattribute{text}{wolf}\hbox \layoutcomponentboxattribute \bgroup wolf\egroup \framed[component=wolf]{wolf} \stoptext Wolfgang

no independent PDF bookmarks?
by Steffen Wolfrum 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Hi, given you have a context project with a preface in frontmatter: In the printed "table of contents" you don't want the preface be listed. But in the PDF bookmark the preface should be listed and the table of contents, too. How to achieve this?? Steffen

associating setuptex.bat with cmd shortcut
by Michael Goerz 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Hi everyone, at the end of the context essentials installation on Windows, it says > When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree with: > > C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\context\tex > > You can associate this command with a shortcut to the cmd prompt. What does that mean, and how do I do that (associating the command with a shortcut to cmd)? Sorry, haven't had to do anything serious on Windows for years... Thanks, Michael
