Cool, thanks.

Bug? Cross referencing and \setuparranging
by Jeff Smith 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hi, There seems to be a bug with the current ConTeXt (2008.01.28). When using \setuparranging (I've tried more than one setup), cross-referencing doesn't work. You get ?? instead of whatever number you should get. It happens to me with this simple dummy document: \setuppapersize[A5][A3] \setuparranging[2UP,doublesided] \starttext \chapter[chap1]{Chapter One} \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth \par} \chapter[chap2]{Chapter Two} \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth \par} \chapter[chap3]{Chapter Three} In chapter \in[chap1] of this document, there was something to read. \stoptext If you comment out the \setuparranging command, the \in command will work. If you don't, the log shows the following: chapter : 3 Chapter Three references : unknown reference [][chap1] This looks like a bug? Jeff

latest release doesn't "make"
by Henning Hraban Ramm 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Ahoi, just tried to update via ctxtools, but making formats stops at Greek hyphenation patterns: (/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/patterns/lang- agr.pat ! Nonletter. l.234 ᾿ 2ρ1῾2ρ If I press "r" to continue I get a long list of more Greek "nonletters". Is that caused by the known LM change? Greetlings from Lake Constance!

trouble with indices
by Jesse Alama 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

I've noticed that with the most recent ConTeXt release I'm unable to make indices. This example fails: \starttext Hello, this \index{copula}is an index. \completeindex \stoptext The error I get is: chapter : 1 \headtext {index} ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. \stoppacked ->\par \ifvmode \egroup \ifdim \lastskip =\noparskipsignal \rela... \doutilities ...protectutilities \unprotect \fi #4 \the \everybeforeutilityre... \doplaceregister ...ster \stoppacked \stopcolumns \endgroup \fi \docompleteregister ...ter [\currentregister ][#2] \page [\v!yes ]\endgroup \fi <to be read again> \par l.6 ? The error arises both with pdftex or xetex. I think that some recent change must be responsible for this, because I didn't notice any problems with indices, say, a couple months ago. What might be going on? Thanks, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu)

setupreferenceformat questions
by Santy, Michael 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Due to some fairly unique customer requirements for bibliography, we're using the simple bibliography discussed in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Bibliography) While this approach gives us more flexibility, I'm having trouble with a couple of things... 1) The code below wraps the reference number in brackets. How would I make the reference number superscript (like an endnote)? 2) The references in the text are numbered in the order the bibitems are defined in the bibliography, not the order on which they are cited in the text. How would I order them according to the order in which they occur in the text? Thanks, Mike Santy \setupinteraction[state=start] \definereferenceformat[cite][left={[},right={]}] \defineitemgroup [bibliography] [levels=1] \setupitemgroup [bibliography] [symbol=n, left={[}, right={]}, width=1.5em, stopper=, itemalign=flushright, inbetween={\blank[4pt]}] \appendtoks \let \bibitem \itemgroupitem \to \itemgroupcommands \starttext Now is the time\cite[ref2] for all good men\cite[ref1]. I would like the citations to be numbered based on the order in which they occur in the document, not in the bibliography. \section{References} \startbibliography \bibitem[ref1] This is my first reference \bibitem[ref2] This is the second reference \stopbibliography \stoptext

Minimal size of page

16 Feb '08

Hi all, I want to make a dvi output of one or more math formulas, on a page of minimal size, ie the size of the formula; I had asked the same thing for a metapost/fun graphic sometime ago, the answer had been: \startMPpage ... \stopMPpage but I guess I can't use that here! tia, -- Jean

interaction query
by Alan Bowen 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

In my preface, I have \setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue,style=rm] \definehead[LevelBHead][subject] \setupsectionblock[LevelBHead][number=no,page=right] \setuphead[LevelBHead][style={\tf\rm},interaction=yes] and in the source file proper, \LevelBHead{Comment 3: {\em In de caelo} {\tf 481.12--15}\hfill ref.\ \at[fnComment3]n\in[fnComment3]} When I compile the file I get the proper heading and the cross- reference works as it should. What is odd is that this reference is not in blue. All my other kinds of cross-references look and behave as they should. Any remedies for this admittedly minor problem will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Alan PS I am using mkii. A.

Problem with Portuguese hyphenation
by Maurício 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hi, In Portuguese, the rule about hyphenating word that contain hyphens themselves is to preserve the hyphen in the next line. For instance, the sentence "Seria bom se eu pudesse tê-lo mantido como amigo, mas por mais bem-intencionado que eu fosse, não foi possivel" should be hyphenated like that (justification adapted just for that example): Seria bom se eu pudesse tê- -lo mantido como amigo, mas por mais bem- -intencionado que eu fosse, não foi possivel. However, Context does that like this way: Seria bom se eu pudesse tê- lo mantido como amigo, mas por mais bem- intencionado que eu fosse, não foi possivel" What should I do to correct that? Thanks, Maurício

XML: mapping definiton on the fly?
by Johannes Graumann 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

Dear XML-processing inclined, I was wondering whether with MarkV it is possible to parse an XML file that contains style definitions as well as there usage and create context mappings for them on the fly. In the example fragment below this would mean: - scan the file until hitting the "<office:automatic-styles>" tag - analyze the style definition, find it to be of family text of name T1 requiring bold fonts - construct a context/XML mapping along the lines of \startxmlsetups T1 \bf{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups - keep on scanning, when hitting the style invocation: use the dynamically generated mapping. Please excuse the hobbyists nomenclature. Thank you for your time and insight, Joh <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ... <office:automatic-styles> <style:style style:name="T1" style:family="text" > <style:text-properties fo:font-weight="bold" style:font-weight-asian="bold" style:font-weight-complex="bold" /> </style:style> </office:automatic-styles> <office:body> <office:text> ... <text:p text:style-name="Standard" > Dies <text:span text:style-name="T1">ist</text:span> ein Text. </text:p> </office:text> </office:body> ...
