latest beta
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi all, Hi Hans, has anything changed in xml processing in the latest beta? My beautiful (!) collection of xml entities has stopped working. In my environment files, I have stuff such as \defineXMLentity[textellipsis]{\textellipsis} but only get the typeset "textellipsis" in my pdfs when I process them with mkiv. Bug or do I have to change anything in my files? All best Thomas

Multicolumn itemizations - again...
by Marcin Borkowski 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi, I have \setupitemize[2][a,paragraph,intro,columns,two][stopper=)] in the environment. In one place, however, I want to have a one-column itemization. What do I do? I thought that \startitemize[columns,one] would override the environment setting - but it didn't work. I tried to do something like this: \defineitemgroup[onecolumnitemize] \setuponecolumnitemize[2][a,paragraph,intro][stopper=)] but it didn't work - still the settings from \setupitemize[2][...] were in use. What's going on? Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) - Why are vim users so terribly egocentric? - Because they begin every sentence with `I'.

ConTeXt MkIV and texlive2008
by Marcin Borkowski 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi, assume I've done everything as told on the wiki, so that MkIV works in texlive2008. Assume that I used the tl package manager to upgrade ConTeXt. Do I have something more to do in order to use it (e.g., run luatools --generate or context --make or both once again)? Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) O ludzką twarz - walka trwa! Już płoną ognie - chwyćmy za ostrze! Naszym ogniem Moc Najwyższego, ostrzem wierność obranej drodze... Walka trwa! (Izaiash)

questions about Aditya's thesis
by Mohamed Bana 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hello everyone, Here's the link to his thesis; http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam/publications/thesis/thesis.tar.gz 1. Is this the new official syntax? \chapter[chap:01] Introduction \section Motivation 2. How do I enabled colour links for the bibliography citations? I've tried - You'll have to move/delete t-bib.tex if you're running a recent ver. of the minimals to get the the doc to compile. % env-thesis.tex lines 289-291 \setupinteraction[state=start,style=,color=] \setupinteraction[focus=standard] \placebookmarks [chapter,section][chapter] and % line 3, macros.tex \setupcolors[state=start] % line 8, macros.tex \setupcite [interaction=start, compress=no,color=] %darkgreen] Yet the links are still in black. Here's the pdf; http://filebin.ca/mzxxpc/thesis.pdf or http://filebin.ca/mzxxpc 3. The entries in bibliography outflow into the margins; pages 23 onwards. I don't mind if the line contains huge gaps as long as the entries don't flow into the margins. 4. How do I decrease the linespacing? Don't you agree with Minion Pro it doesn't look as good as with Palatino. Mohamed

But there is an option for your requested behaviour already supplied: you just have to add "criterium=all" to the \setuppublications command. >>> For the other hand, I read in the wiki that bib module automatically >>> read for \jobname.bib file (this is why I commented it) >> >> Do you remember which wiki page?

Best read the official manual then: http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-bib/doc/context/bib/bibmod-doc.pdf Best wishes, Taco

Cyrillic filenames
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi, This is a question to dear developers: why can't I use cyrillic filenames, and even spaces in filenames? It is weird to name Russian texts using Latin transliteration. For example, I'd rather have "песня про зайцев. tex" instead of "pesnya_pro_zaicev.tex". Is this possible? Best, Vyatcheslav

ConTeXt problem with page layout
by Robert Blackstone 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hi list, I am having a problem setting up the layout of my document with \setuplayout, following the instructions in "ConTeXt an excursion", p 72 and 112. Since I want margin notes I want to specify both the margins and the edges, which I tried to do as follows: \setuplayout[location=middle,leftedge=1cm,rightedge=1cm,leftmargin=3cm,rightmargin=2cm,width=13cm,height=23cm] What I get is: no left edge, left margin 2cm right on the edge of the paper, text 13 cm, right margin 2 cm, right edge 1 cm, empty space 16 mm. Moreover, whatever I change in the parameters, the layout stays the same. Has the command changed? I am using MkII as supplied with MacTeX2008, (not updated because that didn't work either). Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance. Robert Blackstone

cz -> cs language abbreviation change
by Vit Zyka 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Dear Hans, I have noticed that the abbreviation for Czech language has changed from 'cz' to 'cs'. Perhaps due to ISO 639-2 compliance. May be the norm is a good reason; but this backward incompatible solution makes all Czech document wrong! Silently without any warning or any error message. Moreover, it makes Czech version of the context beginners manual wrong. I strongly ask you to solve this problem, e.g. to create some synonym mechanism, which enable again \mainlanguage[cz] \language[cz to work. Thank you Vit

MkII vs. MkIV
by Marcin Borkowski 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hi, Is it normal that output from MkII and MkIV are different in terms of page breaks? Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) - Why vim users don't use the ESC key? - It's too far on the keyboard. It's faster to type ctrl-[.
