bib module: changing citation style locally
by Mojca Miklavec 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hello (Taco or anyone else), I have an impression that it used to be possible to say \cite[author][reference], but I'm obviously doing something wrong here, I only get Xxxxxxx or in case of [data] I don't get anything at all (I'm using mkii). Here's an almost-minimal example: \usemodule [bib] \setuppublications [alternative=num, criterium=all, sorttype=cite] \setuppublicationlist [artauthor=\normalshortauthor, author=\normalshortauthor] \starttext first: \cite[Knoll] second: \cite[author][Knoll], \cite[alternative=author][Knoll] third: \cite[data][Knoll] \startpublication[k=Knoll,t=book,a=Knoll] \title{Radiation Detection and Measurement} \author[]{Glenn Frederick}[G.~F.]{}{Knoll} \pubname{Wiley, John \& Sons, Incorporated} \pubyear{1979} \stoppublication \placepublications \stoptext Thanks in advance for any hints, Mojca

\everymath problem
by eythanweg＠gmail.com 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Hi, I use luatex 0.43 with yesterday's beta. Running \everymath = {\displaystyle} \starttext ${a\over b}$ \stoptext results in ! Use of \dospecialabout doesn't match its definition. l.4 ${a\over b }$ Plain format under luatex has no problem here. If I change \over to \times it runs with fonts changed to roman (i.e, not math italics). Thank you. Eythan

Hi I've a problem with mkiv : Floats are numbered in continuous mode without chapter prefix (fig. 1 to fig. 183). By compiling with mkii, floats are correctly numbered ! (fig. 1.1 to fig. 9.27) Thank's for your help. Regards Pierre Bovet

Align and nested combinations
by Xan 19 Aug '09

Hi, With this code: \placefigure [here] [fig:graf-Cayley-Z2xZ3] {An example of \type{\startcombination...}.} {\startcombination[1*2] {\startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[lb1]} {a1} {\externalfigure[lb2]} {a2} \stopcombination} {a} {\startcombination[1*1] {\externalfigure[lb1]} {b1} \stopcombination} {b} \stopcombination} I get all _left_ aligned (see attached file) and I want normal center aligned. How can I get this? Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: Please, CCme.

What color is "screen"?
by Mojca Miklavec 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hello, a half-philosophical question (not too relevant). I was wondering: what color exactly is the "screen" (\framed[background=screen]{...})? Or is it a special effect maybe? I know that using it has long been deprecated, but I used it in many older documents as it was easiest to remember without having to think what shade of gray to use to make the highlights in document come out nice. But I just figured out that it became invisible on my screen. One can still see it very very faintly if computer screen is under some weird angle, but a normal glimpse shows nothing. When printed it usually comes out with a rather high contrast. (It may be that I have just changed screen contrast by accident.) I was trying to find the revent line with color, but I don't find it. I noticed grph-fig.mkii: \c!backgroundscreen=.8, but 0.8 is definitely higher that used in documents by default. Thanks, Mojca

suggestions for MKIV
by Peter Münster 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hello Hans, Since there is no more need, to keep compatibility with MKII (there are already a lot of differences), I suggest - for the benefit of beginners - to change at least 2 things: - let \framed or \externalfigure behave like \parbox and \includegraphics in LaTeX, i.e. no more need to put \dontleavehmode before the command (the current behaviour is just not very intuitive...) - let align=left|right behave correctly Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Thank you, but one small concern. If I omit second argument altoghether, that is \author{Bla-bla} is it possible to have skip? (Now skip doesn't work until I provide empty second parenthesizes) Regards, Vyatcheslav > \author{Bla-bla}{} > > > \define[2]\author{{\itx (#1)}{\hfill\tx bpm=#2\doifnothing{#2} > {\hskip1cm}}} > >
