Table macro choices?
by Design Department 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

Earlier this year I attempted to set tabular material using ConTeXt while meeting *all* the following requirements: > Some columns need fixed width, content must wrap to multiple lines > Multi-page tables > Column headings must repeat on every page > Additional header information is required on every page > Additional footer information containing tabular text and graphics is required on every page > Forced page breaks on arbitrary selected rows > Horizontal rules between specified groups of rows I was unable to meet all these requirements and reverted to LaTeX. It works, but I prefer ConTeXt and the LaTeX version takes a painfully long time to converge on optimal column widths. I'm now using TeXLive 2009, rather than 2008 - has anything changed in ConTeXt that will meet these requirements? David

Re: [NTG-context] Bibliography help - some problems I have noticed
by Curiouslearn 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

I was trying to figure out the problem and I found that the database I was referring to was empty. I perhaps forgot to save it. When replaced with the appropriate .bib file I do get the references at the end of the document. But I observed the following. Would really appreciate if someone could point out whether I am making a mistake or whether there is a bug. (1) If the Key has a paranthesis, the \cite[Reference] gives empty brackets. (2) If I use \cite[author][Reference] then I get a line break after the opening paranthesis. (3) Also, note that I refer to only one paper of Daughety and Reinganum in the minimal example below. However, because there are two papers by them in my database, the References section lists the year as (2000a) instead of just (2000). The bbl file generated contains all the references in my database and not only the once I have cited. Should it not contain only the ones I have cited in the document. The following is a minimals example, demonstrating above problems. I have included the bibtex source of the citations used below. If you need more information, please let me know. ***************************************************************************************************************** \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=econbibTest] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \section{Checking Bib} Using \type{\cite[author][BergstromBagnoli2005]} gives a line break after the opening paranthesis. Using \cite[author][BergstromBagnoli2005] gives a line break after the opening paranthesis. Using \type{\cite[author,year][BergstromBagnoli2005]} just returns the key in the document in place of the author names and the year. Using \cite[author,year][BergstromBagnoli2005] just returns the key in the document in place of the author names and the year Paranthesis in the key such as this one, \type{\cite[Daughety_Reinganum(2000)]}, gives empty brackets. Paranthesis in the key such as this one,\cite[Daughety_Reinganum(2000)], gives empty brackets Also, note that even though I refer to only one paper of Daughety and Reinganum, because there are two papers by them in my database, the References section lists the year as (2000a) instead of just (2000). The bbl file generated contains all the references in my database and not only the once I have cited.

Biblography list does not show numbers
by Matthijs Kooijman 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

Hey all, I'm trying to use a bibliography, but it seems no numbers are show in the biblography that is generated. The following example: Test.tex: ================= \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=Test] \starttext \section{foo} Blaa \cite[foo] Bar \completepublications \stoptext Test.bib: ================== @article{foo, author = {Bar}, title = {Foo}, year = {2009}, } generates the following text: 1 foo Blaa [1] Bar 1 References Bar (2009). Foo. . So, the citation gets a number as it should, is referenced by the number, but the list of references does not list that number. This makes the bibliography pretty useless :-) This also happens with MkII (though the reference doesn't get a number, but uses the author name and year: (Bar, 2009). Am I missing something, or is this a bug? On a related note, if I remove the \section, no reference will be generated. This is probably not a problem in real documents, though. Gr. Matthijs

It's funny that they exists ) I want to point out that 40 Kb is too small for any pdf documents, even simplest ones. Sometimes it's necessary to show the document produced, but I never managed to get it smaller then 100 Kb. Can the limit be increased, say, to 200Kb? Vyatcheslav

\setupfloat[..][..., after=\stopframedtext] not working?
by Matthijs Kooijman 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Hi all, the following example is not working for me: \setupfloat[intermezzo][before=\startframedtext[width=10cm],after=\stopframedtext] \starttext \placeintermezzo{Caption}{Text} \stoptext It fails with the following message: ! Undefined control sequence. \stopframedtext ->\dostopframedtext l.1 ...ramedtext[width=10cm],after=\stopframedtext ] Am I doing anything wrong, or is there perhaps another way to achieve this? I've tried passing width=10cm to \setupfloat as well as \placefloat, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Gr. Matthijs

Bibliography help
by Curiouslearn 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Hi, Is it possible to use .bib files that I had made for latex (it is a bibtex database), with Context? Do I need to use the module bibltx for these? When I compile my source code the Log window says, module bibltx not found (log file is pasted below). I tried the first example in the Bibliography article on Context Garden with some small changes. That is, I tried the following. \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=econbibTest] \starttext \section{Checking Bib} See \cite[Bergstrom_Bagnoli(2005)] for monotonicity properties of hazard rates of various standard distributions. \completepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext @ARTICLE{Bergstrom_Bagnoli(2005), author = {Mark Bagnoli and Ted Bergstrom}, title = {Log-concave Probability and its Applications}, journal = {Economic Theory}, year = {2005}, volume = {26}, pages = {445-469}, timestamp = {2008.06.08} } I have attached the output. I have reproduced the citation from the bibtex file above to show what the bib file contains. Can someone please point out where I am going wrong? Thanks very much.
