bib module -- \maybeyear
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hi all, I'm using numerical citations and reference lists, and I have the bib module doing almost everything I want, except that the years in the reference list have a, b, c ... appended. On this mailing list, it was suggested that "maybeyear=off" as an argument to \setuppublicationslist should do it, but it does not seem to. The discussion on that topic seems unresolved. I've also tried \def\maybeyear#1{} in a few places, which does not help either. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.02 13:44 MK II fmt: 2007.1.8 int: english/english. It's my first ConTeXt project. Am I doing something wrong? Program below. Robin \enableregime[utf] \setupoutput[pdf] \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[ refcommand=num, sorttype=bbl, criterium=all, numbering=short ] \setupbibtex[database={../references},sort=author] \setuppublicationlist[ authoretallimit=100, artauthoretallimit=100, maybeyear=off ] \starttext \placepublications \stoptext

When we were still using the collector at the literate solutions website, I tried to do all of that myself, but it is just too much work these days. As a gentle reminder for everybody, here are the urls: Bugs: https://foundry.supelec.fr/tracker/?atid=161&group_id=21 Feature requests: https://foundry.supelec.fr/tracker/?atid=164&group_id=21 Best, Taco

Header problem in project
by David Arnold 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hans et all, We have a project call book.tex, a product in that called chapter1.tex, and a component in that called section1exercises.tex. We have blocks that we save and then place at the end of section1exercises.tex with a macro defined in our environment file: \def\placeanswers{% \bgroup \doifmodeelse{short} { \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer] \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers] \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section] \stopcolumnset } { \def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}} \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}} \setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][] \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer] \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section] } \egroup } The else part of the do above is an attempt to define a different header when we compile with --mode=long, but just for the pages on which we use \placeanswers. The other pages have a different header defined in the environment file. Those headers have page numbers as well with: \def\headermarkleft{\bold{\pagenumber}\headerskip{\sc\headerskip Chapter \headnumber[chapter]\headerskip\getmarking[chapter][current]}} \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]\headerskip \getmarking[section][current]}\headerskip\bold{\pagenumber}} The file section1exercises ends like this: %%% ENDTESTBANK %%%================================================ \stopquestions \placeanswers\kern0pt \stopcomponent When we compile section1exercises.tex with texmfstart texexec -- mode=long section1exercises, all is well until the last page, where the former header is used instead of the header defined in the \placeanswers macro. But we want to finish out the document from the point we put the \placeanswers with the second header. Any suggestions?

bad page break
by David Arnold 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

All, We have a situation where we want to put in a page break to move some text at the bottom of the page to the next page. However, there is a float that hasn't been typeset yet, so the result of \page[yes] is to put the float at the top of a blank page, then page again to continue the running text. Anyway around this?

All, How can I get the last page to have a page number in this example? \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \definehead[answers][section] \setuphead[answers][page=right] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \chapter{Functions} \input knuth \section{Function Notation} \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth par} \answers{Answers} \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth par} \stoptext

Strange ConTeXt - XeTeX problem
by Helin Gai 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi, I'm trying to learn about using XeTeX in ConTeXt. The problem is that when I compile a file using texexec --xtx filename.tex, I get the following error message *** fontmap psfonts.map not found; texmf.cnf may be broken *** font ec-lmtt10 not found in psfonts.map or host system; will substitute Helvetica glyphs But if I just use xdv2pdf filename.tex, everything turns out perfectly. I'm wondering what the problem could be. Thanks!

Running Heads Question
by Helin Gai 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi all, I have some trouble setting up the layout in ConTeXt: 1. I'm trying to place the running head in the margin, 5 cm away from the top. My original idea is to use \setupheader[margin][...], but it turned out that this doesn't work at all - the header is not in the margin, and the setups in the second brackets are simply ignored. 2. I'm trying to use oldstyle for section numbers, so i specified numberstyle=\os, but the dot in the section number become a right-oriented triangle. 3. In LaTeX, I can use \thechapter to obtain the chapter number when defining something. So what's the equivalance in ConTeXt? Any input will be appreciated! Thanks!! Sincerely, Helin
