bib module and hypehnation
by Aditya Mahajan 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi, I am using the bib module with ssa style. Quite often while citing articles with long author names, I find author names protruding into the margin. Does bib module not support hyphenating author names, or is something wrong in my setup? Aditya

End notes and compile per chapter question
by Gerben Wierda 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

I have a book project with a structure I copied a few years ago from some instructional page. The product file looks like this: > \startproduct prd_book > \project project_teoada > > \starttext > \start > \startstandardmakeup \ss > \hairline \start > \switchtobodyfont[20pt]\bf > \leftaligned{Test Project Title}% > \stop \hairline \blank[line]\rightaligned{Gerben Wierda}% > \blank[10cm]\start\leftskip=10cm\hairline\stop > \rightaligned{1995--2006}% > \stopstandardmakeup > \stop > > \startfrontmatter > \completecontent > \component c_foo > \stopfrontmatter > \startbodymatter > \component c_bar > \component c_foobar > \stopbodymatter > \startappendices > \component c_endnotes > \stopappendices > > \stoptext > > \stopproduct My book has per page notes as well as more lengthy end notes which end up in a chapter at the end of the book. c_endnotes.tex looks like this: > \startcomponent c_endnotes > \product prd_book > \project project_teoada > > \starttext > \startbuffer [chapter:quote] > ToDo > \stopbuffer > \chapter[h:endnotes]{Notes} > > \placenotes[endnote] > > \stoptext > > \stopcomponent But I would at this stage like to compile the chapters per chapter. This works, but if I compile c_chapter1.tex, I do not get the endnotes of the chapter. How do I go about it that when compiling per chapter, I get the endnotes for that chapter at the end of that file, while when compiling the entire book they go at the end of the book as they should? Thanks, G

Passing unicode characters
by Mehdi Omidali 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi everyone, Is it possible to pass a character to another in MKIV, I mean, like XeTeX in which one can pass one unicode character to another one (this is done in some mapping files with some lines in it of the form U+0030 <> U+06F0 )

Fontfeatures and latin script
by Wolfgang Schuster 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi Hans, why was 'script=latn' removed from the three predefined fontfeatures default, oldstyle and smallcaps. A lot of fonts (free and commercial) need these features to enable kerning, ligatures and other features. Regards, Wolfgang

Indenting / small paper size / strange paragraph cutting
by Olivier Guéry 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

Hello, I got my Sony prs 505 ebook reader last week… Nice machine. I tried to set-up one of my favorite book to be read on this. Here are the specials part : — Page size : 120mm x 90 mm — margins : 3mm up/down and 2mm left/right (could be 1mm, in fact) Here are the links to the .tex and .pdf files. Here are my problems : — I can't set the space before my section number : in line 38 : \setuphead[section][style=tfc, numberstyle=bold, before={\blank[3*big]}, alternative=middle] everithing work but the « before » section — still can't have automatic indent after section. I need to force it using « \indentation » (line 47) — look at the end of the first page : there's a big gap. Don't know why. It's in the middle of a sentence, and the paragraph is big after. — at the end of the second page, third line before the end, the « dans » is in the margin. I can't hyphenate this word. I woud prefer having bigger white spaces rather than this. — on page 3, before « Une horloge » I can't have indentation after \crlf. I used a « \packed » command after empty line but it's not what I want. I want a new line, with indentation but not a « \par » vertical spacing. Sorry for this 3 pages exemple. It was hard to do less (but now you have the begining of the french translation of « Stirrings Still » from Samuel Beckett). Olivier. http://nemolivier.free.fr/Soubresauts-prs-small.pdf http://nemolivier.free.fr/Soubresauts-prs-small.tex PS : the new firmware for the sony PRS 505 allow to use .epub files. It's a realy good news : this is an open-source format ! A chance for us to avoid the mp3 mess. I hope context can be used to produce them one time. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] http://nemolivier.blogspot.com

Hi! Is there a possibility to use footnotes or endnotes with the citation system of the bib module? I didn't find anything about that topic in the mailing list archive, Context wiki or module documentation. Thanks. Best regards, michael.
