Re: [NTG-context] setupsystem command with an example

The following is an example. Randomization occurs with MKII, but not with MKIV. \setupsystem[random=123] \starttext \startitemize[a,random] \startitem This is item 1 \stopitem \startitem This is item 2 \stopitem \startitem This is item 3 \stopitem \startitem This is item 4 \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 1:42 PM, curiouslearn <curiouslearn(a)gmail.com>wrote: > I wanted to bring this to your attention.

Hello all, i´m new to the mailing list. i posted a few questions on the mailing list for a while but got never an answer. The last thing i posted was in the [NTG-context] BibTeX/Publications thread: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20091115.194137.4395932d.en.html it seems that i make something wrong with posting because i get always ignored (see following discussion on in the mail...). Please can somebody write back only that i can by certain that my messages become properly posted - thanks. best regards Bernhard

Hi all! I've two or more problems with bibliographies: 1) look at the attached attachment, the first brace. 2) @book{b, title={B Titel B}, author={Brüser}, % error -> ü!!! year={2000}, publisher={VS Verlag} } 3) I want "just get a typeset version of the used database" (without \cite[a,b,c,d]), how to achieve this? Many thanks and greetings Andreas

texexec for latex?
by Adam Megacz 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello folks, Does anybody know if there is something like "texexec" for latex users? Specifically, I'm hoping for a single command that runs the pdflatex/bibtex combination as many times as is required to reach a fixed point. Thanks, - a

Indent missed after \placefigure[inner]
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, I've asked about this issue already, but probably my cry for help was missed ) After I include a grapichs with \placefigure[inner], the next paragraph is not indented. This looks very strange, because the figure floats at a side, and nothing suggests that new paragraph begins. I'm forced to issue \hskip0.7cm to imitate the indent. With \placefigure[middle], everything is OK because I use some magic setup kindly suggested by Wolfgang: \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes] Maybe I should expand this setup with other keywords? Pleaase, see attached image for illustration. This is an excerpt from my code: %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Передбачається використання певної системи одиниць виміру, скажемо, метричної, так що одиниця довжини точно визначена. Відповідність між точками тривимірного евклідового простору і їхніх координат може бути задано або радіусом-вектором \startformula r = \overline {OP} = x{e_x} + y{e_y} + z{e_z}, \stopformula де ${e_x}, {e_y}, {e_z}$ — одиничні вектори осей, або матрицями: координатним рядком $[x, y, z]$ або координатним вектором-стовпцем $ \left| {\matrix{ x \cr y \cr z \cr } } \right|, $ причому координати $х$, $у$ і $z$ точки {\it Р} у цій системі координат задаються як довжини (з відповідним знаком) перпендикулярних проекцій вектора {\it OP} на вектори $i$, $j$ і $k$ (рис.2.4). \placefigure[inner]{ } {\externalfigure[image219.png][scale=900]} \hskip0.7cm У машинній графіці широко застосовуються однорідні координати, які дозволяють {\it n}--мірний об'єкт представити в $(n+1)$--мірному просторі, шляхом додавання ще однієї координати — скалярного множника. Однорідні координати є основними в проективній геометрії, у машинній графіці вони зручний штучний прийом, що дозволяє привести до лінійної форми перспективні зображення. Однорідні координати дають можливість записувати невласні (нескінченно вилучені) точки простору, а також виражати афінні перетворення в зручній матричній формі, уникаючи переповнення розрядної сітки ЕОМ за рахунок нормалізації чисел [2]. P.S. Is there a keyword that produces an indent? (like \makeindent) P.S. If no, how can I specify that I want big horizontal skip instead of a number as in \hskip0.7cm ? Regards, Vyatcheslav

\setuphead and n*serried

Hi friends, I like [n*serried] option very much. Why I cannot use it in \setuphead instead of distance, too? %works \setuphead[subsubject][ alternative=text, style=\bf, distance=0.7ex] %does not work \setuphead[subsubject][ alternative=text, style=\bf, 1*serried] Regards, Vyatcheslav

Drawing vertical and horizontal lines inside a matrix
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, Can I draw vertical and horizontal lines inside a matrix? I get ugly result by underlining and "sidelining" the elements, but what I neeed is to underline the whole row and draw a line next to the whole column. \startformula T = \left[ {\matrix{ a & b & {c |} & p \cr d & e & {f |} & q \cr {\underline h } & {\underline i } & {\underline j |} & r \cr l & m & {n |} & s \cr } } \right].\stopformula The attached picture shows how it looks now.

setupsystem command
by curiouslearn 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

I wanted to bring this to your attention. It seems that setupsystem[random= ] command does not work with MKIV. If I use different numbers for [random= ] option the arrangement of items changes when compiled with MKII but do not change when compiled with MKIV. I tried emailing the above message with my email, but it bounced everytime I sent it. Do you know what might have happened. Thanks.

Actually, "n*serried" works excellent, as in my final setup: \setupitemize[each][1,joinedup,intext,1*serried][indenting={yes,first,big}] Regards, Vyatcheslav

mkiv math delimiters and <|>
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, I have tried to compile an old document (written in mkii times). Among other problems that I yet need to isolate, the following minimal example doesn't want to compile: $\bigl| x \bigr>$ since <|> aren't recognized as candidates for delimiters. There is a workaround of course (using \langle, \rangle, ... instead of <>), but the three characters are just way too handy to use. I suppose that the behaviour in mkii comes from these lines: \definemathcharacter [<] [nothing] [sy] ["68] [ex] ["0A] \definemathcharacter [>] [nothing] [sy] ["69] [ex] ["0B] But I'm not sure where mkiv could be changed. I have tried to use adobename="greater", ... mathspec={ { class="binary", name="gt" }, { class="close", name="rbrace" }, }, but without any success. Mojca
