I stumbled across this: http://www.geany.org/ I'm going to give it a try. Maybe someone else would like it, too? Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) If Microsoft ever makes anything which doesn't suck, it will be a vacuum cleaner.

Bibtex doubt
by Xan 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hi, I'm a beginner with ConText. Before I used LaTeX and I want to switch to try.... Now I'm preparing a simple document: resum-recerca.contex (I attach it) and I have a bibtex bibliography, but when I run texexec resum-recerca.tex, I get the "References" empty. What fails? Thanks a lot, Xan.

Different footers for different parts of a project
by Marcin Borkowski 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hi, yet another question from me;). I have a project divided into products divided into components. When I typeset a component, I want to get it's title (I keep it in a variable) in the footer. If I typeset the wqhole project, I want to have the pagenumber there instead. How do I do it? (I mean what to put in the environment/product/component code?)

Question about columns and etc
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hello, Now I use my favourite LuaTeX for typesetting song lyrics :) I love the result, but I have problems when I use to columns to make long lyrics fit one page. First of all, the first line of the second column is always one line upper then in the first one. Next, when I turn on \setupinterlinespace[big], it doesnt' affect text in columns at all! And the last, I cannot prevent chorus text from splitting across pages/columns. I see that \vbox does this for verse, but adding it to chorus setup doesn't work. Thank you for any help in advance!

Problem with itemization (again)
by Marcin Borkowski 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hi, sorry to be a bit repetitive, but this still doesn't work as expected (in MkII, but see also below): \starttext \startitemize[intro] \dorecurse{12}{% \item \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{This is some intro. }Intro ends here. \startitemize[intro,columns,two] \dorecurse{4}{% \item \dorecurse{1}{This is a test. }End of the test. }% \stopitemize }% \stopitemize \stoptext (see page 2 and 3). I guess nothing wrt. itemizations changed in the new beta (I tested the above example in the online ConTeXt), so it's no surprise, but I still have no clue as to the reasons and any remedies. I use two-column itemizations *a lot*, so this is a serious problem for me... Any ideas how to prevent the unnecessary page break? PS. I have just noticed that this works correctly with luatex!!! And so do unpacked two-column itemizations!!! That's just great!!! So my question now becomes: does this mean that MkII is just obsolete for me and I should upgrade to MkIV? And two more things: 1. I have noticed that "unpacked" itemization in columns has the whitespace between items equal to one line. Is it possible to make it shorter, say half a line? 2. I've also noticed that the second (last?) column of itemization seems *never* to be longer that the previous ones, which seems to be quite reasonable, but sometimes it would be better for it to be one line longer than two lines shorter. Is there a way of e.g. inserting a manual column-break within multi-column itemizations and/or letting the last column be longer? Sorry people for being such a nuisance, but - as I've said - I use itemizations a lot (mainly for different kinds of problem sets for my students or my wife's pupils;)) and these issues appear quite often. Also, I'd like to teach a bit of ConTeXt to my wife, who would like it to *simply work* (she's great, but no TeX hacker;)).
