simple bibliography and dots after section numbering
by rogutes＠googlemail.com 11 May '10

11 May '10

G'Day, I'm trying out ConTeXt and have come up with 2 questions. 1. How does one add a dot after the numerals in headings, so that "\section{First}" becomes "1. First" instead of "1 First" ? 2. I would like to use something like this for bibliography: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Bibliography#Another_Approach but adapting it seems too hard for me. Perhaps someone could help? A very crude example: ----------------------------------------------------------- People are writing about this \cite[ref1], (\cite[ref2] - page 25). \startbibliography \bibitem[ref1] This is the first reference. \bibitem[Daniel, 2004][ref2] This is the second reference. \stopbibliography ----------------------------------------------------------- should be rendered as: ----------------------------------------------------------- People are writing about this [1], (Daniel, 2004 - page 25) 1. This is the first reference. 2. This is the second reference. ----------------------------------------------------------- That is, I want an environment and 2 commands: \startbibliography \cite [key] \bibitem [label_replacing_\cite[key]_but_not_the_item_number] [key] Thank you very much, -- Rogutės Sparnuotos P.S. Is there a paragraph somewhere describing the logic under the use of [] and {} for different commands (it seemed somehow more intuitive in LaTeX). What would a ConTeXt developer choose, \cite[x] or \cite{x} and why?

\hfill at the end of line
by Honza Pohanka 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hello, I'd like add a word at the end of the last line of the paragraph. \hfill command works fine, when this word doesn't overflow to the next line. In that case the word stays on the next line but left aligned. example Zakreslete průběh na signálu TX při vyslání dvou znaků, které odpovídají vaším iniciálám. Jak dlouho bude tento proces trvat? (Předpokládejte rychlost 57600 Bd, 8 datových bitů, 1 stopbit.) \hfill (4 body) greetings Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

weird en/em dash behaviour
by Marco 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, I've found some in my opinion weird behaviour concerning en/em dashes. Have a look at the following two MWEs. %%%%%%%%%% \starttext - % shows up -- % missing --- % missing \endash % missing \emdash % missing \stoptext %%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%% \setupbodyfont [11.9pt] \starttext - % shows up -- % shows up --- % shows up \endash % shows up \emdash % shows up \stoptext %%%%%%%%%% Is this expected behaviour? marco

suppressing page number on chapter's last page
by Piotr Kopszak 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hello list, Last time I typeset a book I was reproached for not suppressing page numbers on chapter's end pages and would like to avoid it this time ;) I mean, is there any other way to suppress page numbers more "user-friendly" than peppering the text with \setuppagenumbering[state=stop]? I need not page numbers only in chapter's last page. I confess, I haven't checked the mail archive as diligently as I should but the number of messages one gets looking for "page numbering" is overwhelming. Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Diferent numberstoppers in \setupcaption and \placelistoffigures
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hello I am setting figure and table captions as per this example: \setupcaption[figure][numberstopper=: ] Caption of pictures is OK - it means Figure 1: Description of Figure 1 Figure 2: Description of Figure 2 and so on.. BUT in contents of figures by using \placelistoffigures command is numberstopper : too for example: Figures: 1: Figure one ............................................. 5 2: Figure two ............................................ 10 e.t.c. Is there any way to get numberstopper only by the figure but not by the content of figures? It means diferent numberstopper by the content of figures and diferent numberstopper by the caption of figures. By example: Figures: 1. Figure one ............................................. 5 2. Figure two ............................................ 10 I want this stil by Tables Thanx Jaroslav

Hyphenation of composed words
by Marco 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, I've yet another hyphenation problem. I cannot get proper hyphenation in composed words. Take this MWE: \setuplayout [width=1.5cm] \starttext composed-word\par % not hyphenated, as expected composed||word\par % wrong: hyphenated, but an en-dash is used, % not a hyphen, so [sign=wide] seems to be the default composed|-|word\blank % wrong: hyphenated, but the hyphen is at the start of % the next line \setuphyphenmark [sign=normal] % For hyphenation a hyphen is used, % not an endash composed-word\par % not hyphenated, as expected composed||word\par % wrong: hyphen is at the start of the next line composed|-|word % wrong: hyphen is at the start of the next line \blank[2*line] \setbreakpoints [compound] % my workaround composed-word\par % correct hyphenation behaviour with hyphen \stoptext I hope with the comments the problem is clear. At first the default value for »sign« is wrong. It has to be »normal«. But with »normal« I cannot get the hyphen at the end of the line, instead it always appeares at the beginning of the next line. The workaround works but has the disadvantage that everything is hyphenated, everywhere. I prevent this at the moment by using bars: |not-a-composed-word| Thanks in advance Marco

underbar and \color
by Jörg Hagmann 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, I need an underbar of the length it takes to print, say, 25'000 and used to do this (see minimal example). I now get no (or a white?) underbar. \starttext \underbar{\color[white]{25'000}} %no (white?) underbar \underbar{25'000} %underbar works \stoptext Context version 2010.05.08 13:33 Mark IV Thanks, Jörg

quotechar and command with database module
by Vianney le Clément 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hello, There seems to be a bug in the database module when using the quotechar and command option at the same time. Here is a minimal example. \usemodule[database] \defineseparatedlist [CSV] [separator=comma, quotechar={"}, command=\Whatever] \def\Whatever#1#2{[#1][#2]\par} \starttext \startCSV One,Two Three,Four \stopCSV \startCSV One,Two "Three,three",Four \stopCSV \stoptext It works as expected when commenting the fifth line. Regards, Vianney
