[Fwd: Re: urgent bib bug]

Hi all, Can someone please have a look at this for me? I have to run off for TUG2007 now (ye, already), and I could not discover what is wrong. The problem seems to be with false positives from \doifcurrentlevelelse, but that is the only thing I could discover til now.

Here is a directory which should work out of the box; test file is bib-test.tex. I think I found the key to the problem: For \title, the entry of the previous \title is repeated. For \chapter it behaves correctly. I define my articles in terms of \title, and each article is within a \start-stopproduct file. So basically the bib-module needs to support \title as well (used to do so).

texexec command line parameters (help)
by w.neimeijer＠hccnet.nl 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

I am experimenting with the various texexec command line options, but it is a bit confusing. I want to minimize the number of runs and suppress as much of the messages as possible. I tried (windows standalone context) : 1) texmfstart --pdf --runs=1 --silentmode texfile.tex This still gave 3 runs with all the Context messages displayed. After a bit of experimenting it turns out that I have to use 2) texmfstart --pdf texfile.tex --runs=1 --silentmode It works, but I am not sure what the correct way is for the other options. The manual mtexexec.pdf (a bit outdated) says I have to use method 1). Also the Wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeXExec suggest method 1). Running texexec --help --all does not mention the order in which these parameters should be specified. TIA Wim Neimeijer

metafun externalfigure macro with xetex
by Lutz Haseloff 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi all, if i use the metafun macro "externalfigure" with xetex, there is a printed number (first externafigure prints a "1", the second a "2" right after the "1" and so on) in the lower left corner of the picture; the picture itself is shifted to the upper right, out of the bounding box. I have this effect with xetex 996p1, 997-dev, ConTeXt 17.04.07 and the newest beta. Pdftex in this case works very well. Is this a Bug in Xetex or in ConTeXt? Greetings Lutz

itemize question
by Patrick Gundlach 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, I am slightly confused with the second part of the following example. IMO only the 1st level should be packed, not the second. Patrick -------------------------------------------------- \starttext \setupitemize[2][packed] \startitemize [n] \item eins \item zwei \startitemize \item dies \item dies \item das \stopitemize \item und drei \stopitemize \setupitemize[1][packed] \startitemize [n] \item eins \item zwei \startitemize \item dies \item dies \item das \stopitemize \item und drei \stopitemize \stoptext

Reset a setup directive
by Saji Njarackalazhikam Hameed 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi Folks, Is there a way to reset a \setupSomeThing[ ] directive? Consider for instance a complex setup for TABLES. Imagine I have used this setup for some parts of the document, but later on I want to have a radically different setup for TABLES, say. Is there a convenient way to do this as we can do with \reset[counter]. saji -- Saji N.

:: in xml?
by Christopher Creutzig 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Salvete, trying to typeset an unchanged old file with a more recent ConTeXt version, I keep running into problems. I have reduced the first of these (others may or may not be symptoms of the same, I'll see that later) to this input: \starttext \startXML <a>a::b</a> \stopXML \stoptext It seems the xml parser does something special with colons in the content of elements. I don't think it should and this is probably just a left-over from looking for xml namespaces, but that is just a guess. Regards, Christopher

Bug in dowithpargument and paragraph ending in a macro
by Aditya Mahajan 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, Consider this: \starttext \section This is ok I like the loose format \section why \unknown This does not work \stoptext which gives ./test.tex:8: Paragraph ended before \nextpar was complete. <to be read again> \par l.8 I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this control sequence to too much text. How can we recover? My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best. This seems to be a bug in dowithpargument. As a temporary workaround, I can just enclose the section in braces, but it will be nice if \dowithpargument behaves correctly in this situation. Aditya

Re: [NTG-context] How to make a figure not appear in the list of figures?
by Duncan Hothersall 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

> Hi Duncan, > > place the figure with the normal \placefigure command, process to whole > document, delete the unwanted figurelist entry in the tuo-file and > process > the document another time, you can add the --once option in the last run. > > Wolfgang Aah, nice workaround, thanks. That has got me sorted for today, though it would be great to understand, at a more leisurely pace, if there is a way to do this from within the .tex file. I was experimenting with wrapping the placefigure in something that stopped the list from being written, but didn't get anywhere. Anyway, thanks a lot, this has saved my bacon for today. :-) Duncan

typesetting jurisprudence
by Steffen Wolfrum 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hi, it seems that the description of what I am looking for is unfortunately still not understandable. Thus I searched the internet for some on-line material to link to. Here is a link to a book typeset this way (but in LaTeX), showing a normal Index/Pagenumber register and als a Marginal number (Runner) register: http://webdoc.sub.gwdg.de/univerlag/2006/tfinke.pdf And I was looking at amazon's "search inside" for printed examples of what is meant, (unfortunately the most difficult thing (the TableOfContent with runner *and* pagenumber) I didn't find): http://www.amazon.de/gp/reader/344806159X/ref=sib_rdr_ex/028-7198302-388452… [this is an example for the usage of runner (number in outer margin)] http://www.amazon.de/gp/reader/344806159X/ref=sib_rdr_idx/028-7198302-38845… http://www.amazon.de/gp/reader/3899490193/ref=sib_rdr_ex/028-7198302-388452… [these are examples for a register linking to those runner numbers] Steffen
