Parameters of criterium
by Eric DÉTREZ 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hello again I'm experimenting with menus. I wish to get menu that are "section-sensitive" : in a section I wish a menu with all sections and only subsections of the current section (it hides the other subsections). I imagined that the criterium =xxxxx was the key but I don't get the desired result. Is there any documentation about this parameter ?

release
by Hans Hagen 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Hi, We have a new release (unless severe problems show up, this release will stay for a while). If possible, the next release (oktober) will have an alternative vertical spacing (mkiv only) and a reimplmented sectioning/list/numbering mechanism (mkiv only). There are also new zips of mininmals and cdwincontext. These now match the minimals on the garden. Of course you're strongly advised to use the garden. Of course there will be the usual lot of betas.

Let's ignore it. The first problem, with the two periods after a book title, has been with me since at least last year. I can reproduce it with the following: [A] ConTeXt version. ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.05 18:47 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.6 int: english/english This is based TeXLive 2007, originally installed with the MacTeX installer and updated with cont-tmf,zip from pragma and the ppc- darwin binaries from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/osx-ppc/ texmf-osx-ppc/bin/. My understanding of TeX installations is not sophisticated. Perhaps I goofed. But everything seems to work. [B] File \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[alternative=apa,refcommand=authoryear] \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={Kav86},totalnumber=1] \startpublication[k=Kavka:1986qe,t=book, a={{Kavka}},y=1986, n=2,s=Kav86] \author[]{Gregory}[G.]{}{Kavka} \pubyear{1986} \title{Hobbesian Moral and Political Theory} \city{Princeton} \pubname{Princeton University Press} \stoppublication \starttext Here is a reference to the Kavka book: \cite[Kavka:1986qe] \placepublications \stoptext The output I get is: Here is a reference to the Kavka book: Kavka (1986) Kavka, G. (1986). Hobbesian Moral and Political Theory.. Princeton: Princeton University Press. Thanks for your help. Michael

Hi, What is wrong with my attempt to create a bibliography and a reference to it? All I get is a (Xxxxx,0000) where I use \cite, and no list of references at \placepublications. %------------------------- \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[pt] \usemodule[bib] \setuppublicationlist[] \startpublication[t=manual, a=Fung, y=1993, n=1] \author{}[Y.C.]{}{Fung} \title{Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues} \stoppublication \starttext According to \cite[1]. \placepublications \stoptext %------------------------- Thanks, Maurício

Two bibliography problems
by Michael Green 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

This sort of bibliography entry gives me two kinds of trouble. @book{ODonovan:1999uv, Address = {Grand Rapids, Michigan}, Author = {O'Donovan, Joan Lockwood and O'Donovan, Oliver}, Publisher = {William B. Eerdmans}, Title = {From Irenaeus to Grotius: a sourcebook in Christian political thought, 100-1625}, Year = {1999}} (1) I get two periods after a book title when using \setuppublications [alternative=apa]. For this particular entry, here is what I get. O'Donovan, J. L. and O'Donovan, O. (1999). From Irenaeus to Grotius: a sourcebook in Christian political thought, 100-1625.. Grand Rapids, Michigan: William B. Eerdmans. This happens with all books. On looking at the source, I'm afraid I can't track down where it's coming from or how to fix it. (2) Is it possible to use smart quotes in citations? For instance, for this book, authored by O'Donovan, I can enter the appropriately curly character between O and D in my bibtex file. But it comes out straight in the final document. Thanks! Michael
