redefine word "Figure" for a specific language
by Fabio Tiriticco 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hi all, this is my first post here, and only because I couldn't find an answer in the database. I am using ConTeXt for an italian document (I used LaTeX years ago for my thesis and I like ConTeXt much better!) I would like to redefine the word used in figure captions. The default english is "Figure". If I switch to \mainlanguage[it] the word becomes "Fig." How can I arbitrarily decide what to show there? thanks for the attention, Fabio

There's a slightly bigger surprise font update in the minimals. Enjoy! (ConTeXt support still to come ... hopefully today ...) Mojca

right aligned footnote
by Honza Pohanka 01 May '10

01 May '10

Hello, I can't find out, how to place footnote on the right side of the page. \setupfootnotes[location=page] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=right] This places the number on the right, but the text remains on the left. greetings Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

table of contents
by Marius 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hello, There must be two tables of contents in my document, one in a native language and the other in english. In LaTeX I made new commands \enchapter, \ensection, etc., which I use just after the \chapter or \section command. How do I make such commands in ConTeXt, so that these commands just insert a line into the english table of contents, but do not insert chapter or section in the current page? Thanks, Marius

Referencing a Figure
by Troy Henderson 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

I am trying to reference a figure, and the results are not as expected. Here is my snippet. \placefigure[fig:myfigure]{A beautiful circle}{ \startMPcode draw fullcircle scaled 72; \stopMPcode } Isn't Figure \in[fig:myfigure] beautiful? When this code renders, the text says "Isn't Figure ?? beautiful?" How can I get the correct figure number? Thanks, Troy

Re: [NTG-context] How to use musical symbols from a font
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 29 Apr '10

A-ha! The solution that file name should be wingding.ttf versus wingdings.ttf. OSFONTDIR is ok, my installer sets it properly :) Thanks for help. works perfectly. I only cannot understand what the following do: \def\Check% {{\tfa\symbol[box]}} > Apparently the font is not found. So make sure that TeX can find the font. Probably you need to check whether the OSFONTDIR is set correctly. Otherwise copy the to a place e.g. texmf-local en run luatools --generate. > > I hop this helps. -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hi, Thanks, Willi, for the idea, but I cannot get it to work. My version of the script \starttext \definefontsynonym[Wingdings][Wingdings.ttf] \definesymbol[box][\getglyph{Wingdings}{\char113}] %\def\Check% % {{\tfa\symbol[box]}} \symbol[box] \stoptext gives the following error (I have Wingdings.ttf in my Windows/Fonts folder): !define font : forced type ttf of Wingdings not found !define font : font with name Wingdings is not found !define font : unknown font Wingdings, loading aborted !

requesting multipass
by Philipp Gesang 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hi all, how do I trigger another pass? Using md5 and io I want to save data to a helper file and reuse it in a second pass (like e.g. mtx-context.lua) or update the file if appropriate. But I couldn't quite figure out how to request another pass from the lua end. Thanks for any help, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

bibliography overprinting and out of order
by Michael Saunders 29 Apr '10

For example, with this .bbl file: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={Gob06},totalnumber=3] \startpublication[k=siBrochure,t=techreport, a={{Gobel}},y=2006, n=1,s=Gob06] \author[]{E.}[E.]{}{Gobel} \pubyear{2006} \title{The international system of units} \pubname{Organisation Intergouvernementale de la Convention} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=siNist,t=techreport, a={{Taylor},{Thompson}},y=2008, n=2,s=TT08] \author[]{Barry~N.}[B.~N.]{}{Taylor} \author[]{Ambler}[A.]{}{Thompson} \pubyear{2008} \title{The international system of units ({\addff{sc}si})} \bibtype{{\addff{sc}nist} Special Publication} \volume{330} \city{Washington, {\addff{sc}dc}} \pubname{The National Institute of Standards and Technology ({\addff{sc}nist}), United States Department of Commerce} \note{http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP330/sp330.pdf} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=siGuide,t=techreport, a={{Thompson},{Taylor}},y=2008, n=3,s=TT08] \author[]{Ambler}[A.]{}{Thompson} \author[]{Barry~N.}[B.~N.]{}{Taylor} \pubyear{2008} \title{Guide for the use of the international system of units ({\addff{sc}si})} \bibtype{{\addff{sc}nist} Special Publication} \volume{811} \city{Washington, {\addff{sc}dc}} \pubname{The National Institute of Standards and Technology ({\addff{sc}nist}), United States Department of Commerce} \note{http://www.nist.gov/physlab/pubs/sp811/index.cfm} \stoppublication and these commands: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=Mydatabase] \setuppublications[numbering=yes,alternative=ams,setupinteraction=start] \startext \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext ...I get 3 and 2 printing out on top of each other (text overprinting text), and out of order. I'd like the references to be alphabetical (so you can find them by looking in the bibliography), numbered in order, and these numbers used to print the citations. I'd also like to prevent text from printing on top of text (that's so you can read it).

Some short questions
by Antoine Cailliau 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hi, I'm looking for two specific "tricks": First, declaring one (and only one) page as empty. I mean with no footer/header texts. This is for my cover page, and some page left intentionnaly blank. Second, I want to change the layout (margin, textwidth, etc) of a page. I know there is a "clean" way to declare a new layout for a specific page but I can't find my source again. Thanks in advance for your answers, Antoine
