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. The following is the log: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.46.0-2009112820 \write18 enabled.

url breaking

Does anyone have a workaround? $ pdfinfo x.pdf Title: x Subject: x Author: Mohamed Bana Creator: ConTeXt - 2009.12.01 17:09 Producer: LuaTeX-0.46.0 CreationDate: Tue Dec 1 17:30:14 2009 ModDate: Tue Dec 1 00:00:00 2009 Tagged: no Pages: 2 Encrypted: no Page size: 595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4) File size: 32262 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.5 In this latest version I don't even need the \hyphenatedurl macro :). b) And please, guys, will you just include a macro that will take a URL as a parameter and typeset it.

I'm thinking \typeurl[<url>], that's it. c) Is there something wrong with using \footnote{<text>} whilst in a column? I can send the full example off-list. Just ping me. Thank you, —Mohamed

Flow chart does no longer put comments under connections
by berend＠pobox.com 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi All, I'm using ConTeXt on an Ubuntu 9.10 system. $ texexec --version TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD The log file says: This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) (format=cont-en 2009.8.3) 1 DEC 2009 15:10 ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2009.8.3 int: english/english It appears connection comments do not work in this version. For example the more sophisticated example from here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Flow_Charts ignores the comments. See attachment (if that survives this emailing list). So basically this: \connection[rl] {lowpass1} \comment[t]{$x(t)$} \comment[b]{$X(t)$} does not work. You get the line, but not the comments. So basically two questions: 1. This used to work (Ubuntu 8.04). Is the problem solved in any newer version of ConTeXt? 2. If so, is there a way I can upgrade from within Ubuntu? -- All the best, Berend de Boer

About \version[temporary]
by Otared Kavian 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi all, I have a question which can be elementary, but nevertheless it has some importance… When using cross references, one can somehow « visualize » the list of the cross references on each page with the command \version[temporary] However, in mkii at least, the list of the references is placed at the top of the page in the right margin and this is not very convenient when proof reading, especially in mathematical articles. It would be more handy to have each reference in the left (or right) margin of the line where it is defined or where it is invoked with the command « \in ». However I didn't manage to understand how this behaviour can be changed (various attempts with \setuplist[references] had no effect). (By the way, in mkiv, the list is not shown). Can anyone give an insight?
