Language + bibliography
by Xan 20 Sep '09

20 Sep '09

Hi, Is it possible to bibliography put bibitems in localization of language. I mean for example to substitute "in" for "en" if we use \mainlanguage[ca]. Xan.

\blank

Hi, the following examples did not give the expected results in mkiv. 1. Whitespace at the top of the page is ignored \starttext \blank[force,3cm] text \stoptext 2. Unbreakable whitespace is not possible. \doifmode{mkii}{\defineblankmethod[nobreak]{\penalty10000}} \starttext \dontleavehmode\vskip.95\textheight \doifmode{mkii}{text\endgraf\blank[nobreak,line]text} \doifmode{mkiv}{text\endgraf\blank[samepage,line]text} \stoptext Wolfgang

ActualText
by Barry Schwartz 20 Sep '09

20 Sep '09

Please tell me this isn't in a FAQ. :) Is there support for ActualText tags so that searching and extraction will work with OpenType fonts and Unicode? If so, do discretionary hyphens get treated as 00AD instead of 002D?

further bib tests
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Hi Hans and all, I did some more tests with the new bib mechanism in mkiv and hit a problem: the refcommand=authornum is broken. Minimal example: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={{{The}}24},totalnumber=1] \startpublication[k=silktragedytragic,t=book, a={{Silk}},y=1996, n=1855,s=Sil96] \editor[]{Michael~S.}[M.~S.]{}{Silk} \pubyear{1996} \title{Tragedy and the Tragic. Greek Theatre and Beyond} \city{Oxford} \pubname{Oxford UP} \stoppublication \setuppublications[state=start, refcommand=authornum] \starttext \cite[silktragedytragic] \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stoptext I get ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=6000]. \namedlistparameter #1#2-> \csname \dolistparameter {\??li #1}#2\endcsname \doif #1#2->\edef \!!stringa {#1 }\edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx \!!stringa \!!str... \dowritedatatolist ...eter {#1}\c!state }\v!start {\structurelistinject [#1]... \docitation ...\writedatatolist [pubs][bibref=#1]} \fi \next1498 #1,->\docitation {#1} \doprocesscommaitem \doprocesscommalist ...item \gobbleoneargument #1, ]\relax \global \advance \... ... l.19 \placepublications [criterium=cite] MTXrun | fatal error, return code: 1

\getmyAbstract
by David Arnold 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

All, At one time I had a style file that handled my abstract. \definebuffer[myAbstract] \startmyAbstract In this activity you will learn how to solve systems of linear equations using LU decomposition, with both forward and back substitution. In addition, you will also be introduced to function files and a number of \mat's control structures. {\em Prerequisites: Some knowledge of how to enter vectors and matrices in \mat. Familiarity with Gaussian elimination, elementary matrices, and LU decomposition.} \stopmyAbstract In my style file I have things like: \midaligned{\bf Abstract} \startnarrower[3*middle] \noindenting\getmyAbstract \stopnarrower At one time (long ago) this worked, but now it is throwing this error. ! Undefined control sequence. \getmyAbstract ->\dodoprocessTEXbuffer [myAbstract][def-2] l.218 \getmyAbstract What is the current workaround for this? Thanks. David

Documentation
by Alain Delmotte 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hi! First, sorry to have sent the previous message twice. I didn't check for the sending email, received a bounce, resent to discover it passed to the list. I have downloaded a great part of the documentation (59 files or so). But if I understood well, there has been big changes between Mark II and Mark IV/Lua. The documentation seems more linked to MkII. Is mk.pdf the file to use (in conjonction with another?)? I like cont-eni.pdf but I'd like to have it as print not to be seen on screen (old habit of work - or habit of work of old!!)

fonts
by Jörg Hagmann 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

The fonts (linlibertine and gentium) I installed (and which worked) on my ubuntu minimals don't work any more. I can't see any difference between the appropriate files on my mac (where they work) and the linux machine. Maybe somebody can point out the problem based on the message below -- I would prefer not to get reacquainted with the font mess (no time). I updated the minimals and remade formats. I am using mkII. The message is: systems : end file pdfs at line 72 system : cont-err loaded (/home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-err.tex systems : no file 'cont-sys.tex', using 'cont-sys.rme' instead ) ){/home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/base/8r.enc}{/home/tetrao /newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/lm/lm-ec.enc}{/home/tetrao/newcontext/tex /texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/base/texnansi.enc}</home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-loc al/fonts/truetype/public/libertine/libertine-It.ttf> pdfTeX warning: pdftex: no GlyphToUnicode entry has been inserted yet! </home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-local/fonts/truetype/public/libertine/libert ine-Bd.ttf></home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-local/fonts/truetype/public/liber tine/libertine-Re.ttf></home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-local/fonts/type1/publ ic/cb/grmn1000.pfb></home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lm/lmr o10.pfb></home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/public/pxfonts/pxsy.pfb> </home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/public/pxfonts/rpxmi.pfb></home/ tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/public/pxfonts/rpxr.pfb> !pdfTeX error: pdftex (file uplr8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for readi ng ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
