Sorry, no news (but I re-discover \traceTABLEtrue...) Hint: look into cont-ntb.tex . There are some examples that aren't show even if you create the documentation with --modules switch.

Enabling PDF comments with ConTeXt
by Jan Mikkelsen 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Hi, In early 2005 there was a thread "ConTeXt tool for enabling comments in PDF ?" which discussed the ways in which the output from ConTeXt/pdftex could be commented on by an Acrobat user using the PDF commenting feature. Has anyone done anything more on this? Is there some magic "--enable-commenting" switch that I can't see? Thanks, Jan Mikkelsen

CD cover tool -- handling unusual symbols in folder names
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Hello, I try to implement a script that will typeset covers for CD/DVD's that contain music compilations. Now I have script that follows. It scans the root directory of a CD for folders and outputs them a list. The major problem is that I have " & " and " ' " symbols in folder names on which script fails complaining (D:\context\xmldir-1.xml subject : - Music ! Argument of & has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \next1 #1,->\dosetups {#1} \doprocesscommaitem \doprocesscommalist ...item \gobbleoneargument #1, ]\relax \global \advance \... \XML:ele:/file ->\setups [xmldir:file] \endgraf \egroup l.8 </file> ? !

\start-\stop footnotes
by Idris Samawi Hamid 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Dear syndicate, For looong footnotes it would be nice to have \start-\stop footnotes for easier editing, but these are not defined in ConTeXt. So I tried ============================ \definestartstop [footnote] [before=\footnote\bgroup, after=\egroup] \startbuffer[footnote]% test test test test test test test test \footnote{This is a basic footnote.} test test test test test test test test \footnote{This is another basic footnote.} test test test test test test test test test test test test test. \startfootnote Here is a footnote environment. \stopfootnote \stopbuffer {\typebuffer[footnote] \getbuffer[footnote]} \page ============================ But this does nothing. [before=\footnote{, after=}] does not work either (and is not equivalent to (b/e}group). Please advise!

Not able to use Bibtex module
by Zulkifli Hidayat 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Hi, I'm trying to use bib module. So far, I still can't make it work. I can't have the pdf shows the list of reference. I have made a small test file to try the bib module (it is shown below this mail). For the test, I use only the default options. I also attach the output of the Context process. My Context version is 12.01.2007 on MS Windows XP SP2. So what I did are: 1. Make the .bbl file -> tes.bbl 2. Make the main file -> tes.tex 3. Include the tes.bbl in tes.tex as it is written below Any comment is appreciated.

Thanks, \executesystemcommand{myscript.rb} seems to work. But what is the best way to insert a result (say, formatted text) into the 'caller' document body? The only idea I have is to use \input later in the document, but I'm not sure that it would work. Best regards, Vyatcheslav

register fine tuning
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hi, I am not sure how a ConTeXt index register is generated and what role the tui and tuo files play. But could it be possible to manually "fine tune" the generated register? Something like from ... Keywords -- secret 35 -- popular 25, 26, 27, 88, 89 ... to ... Keywords see also Commands -- secret 35 -- popular 25-27, 88-89 ... just by typing the changes in one of those helper files? Steffen
