The problem was using the -a option to unzip. When I refreshed mktexlsr from the archive without the -a option (inadvertently) it worked fine.

\pagefigure does not increment page number
by Berend de Boer 25 May '06

25 May '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All (probably Hans :-) ), \pagefigure does increment the page number. It doesn't place a page number, I can understand that. But why does it not increment the page number? Is that by design? I'm using the context release of 27 April 2006. Or should I upgrade? - -- Live long and prosper, Berend de Boer (PGP public key: http://www.pobox.com/~berend/berend-public-key.txt) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFEcmlLIyuuaiRyjTYRAlT2AKCMz5HY/GP69VZTMrvHTdpA5zxGfACgg+SK g7buT++bxNyaoyoElIUYAPs= =xP8u -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

t-bib and explicitly italizising title parts
by Johannes Graumann 25 May '06

25 May '06

Hello, Is there any way using '\it' in the title of a bib-entry, so that ConTeXt/t-bib will hand it though into the bibliography listing? I have a lot of publications in my lists that contain species names in there titles, which are by convention typeset in italics. Thanks for any hints, Joh

Czech sorting
by Richard Gabriel 25 May '06

25 May '06

Hello Hans, I've prepared and tested the complete sorting rules for Czech. Could you please put them into sort-lan.tex? The rules are quite simple: - all accented letter shall follow the unaccented ones - "caron" letters (consonants) are placed into separate groups - "acute" and "ring" letters (wowels) are placed under the appropriate unaccented letters But I vitally need to fix the problem that the sorting doesn't work when using \setupregister[index][expansion=xml] otherwise it's still useless for me... :-( Many thanx, Richard -- \def\czsortdivisionch{ch} \def\czsortdivisionCh{Ch} \startmode[sortorder-cz] \exportsortexpansion{aacute}{a+1} \exportsortexpansion{Aacute}{A+1} \exportsortexpansion{ccaron}{c+1} \exportsortexpansion{Ccaron}{C+1} \exportsortdivision{c+1}{ccaron} \exportsortexpansion{dcaron}{d+1} \exportsortexpansion{Dcaron}{C+1} \exportsortdivision{d+1}{dcaron} \exportsortexpansion{eacute}{e+1} \exportsortexpansion{Eacute}{E+1} \exportsortexpansion{ecaron}{e+2} \exportsortexpansion{Ecaron}{E+2} \exportsortreduction{ch}{h+1} \exportsortexpansion{ch}{h+1} \exportsortreduction{Ch}{h+1} \exportsortexpansion{Ch}{h+1} \exportsortdivision{h+1}{czsortdivisionch} \exportsortexpansion{iacute}{i+1} \exportsortexpansion{Iacute}{I+1} \exportsortexpansion{ncaron}{n+1} \exportsortexpansion{Ncaron}{n+1} \exportsortdivision{n+1}{ncaron} \exportsortexpansion{oacute}{o+1} \exportsortexpansion{Oacute}{O+1} \exportsortexpansion{rcaron}{r+1} \exportsortexpansion{Rcaron}{R+1} \exportsortdivision{r+1}{rcaron} \exportsortexpansion{scaron}{s+1} \exportsortexpansion{Scaron}{S+1} \exportsortdivision{s+1}{scaron} \exportsortexpansion{tcaron}{t+1} \exportsortexpansion{Tcaron}{T+1} \exportsortdivision{t+1}{tcaron} \exportsortexpansion{uacute}{u+1} \exportsortexpansion{Uacute}{U+1} \exportsortexpansion{uring}{u+2} \exportsortexpansion{Uring}{U+2} \exportsortexpansion{yacute}{y+1} \exportsortexpansion{Yacute}{Y+1} \exportsortexpansion{zcaron}{z+1} \exportsortexpansion{Zcaron}{Z+1} \exportsortdivision{z+1}{zcaron} \stopmode

Hello, When the backgrounded stuff starts from one page up to the following, it doesn't take care about the bottom footnotes, so that they are covered by the background. Here is a small example: \definecolor[ScreenGray][s=.95] \definetextbackground[grayback] [background=color, backgroundcolor=ScreenGray, frame=on, strut=yes, width=broad, location=paragraph, framecolor=ScreenGray, leftoffset=\topskipgap, before=\blank, after=\blank, align=right] \starttext A footnote\footnote{Covered by the background, right?}. \input tufte \input tufte \input tufte \input tufte \starttextbackground[grayback] \input tufte \stoptextbackground \stoptext Regards, BG

t-bib (extra special experimental version), XML and nocite
by Johannes Graumann 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hello, I'm trying to get my XML citation definitions, which look like so: <cite id="verma:04,mayor:05a,griffin:05" opt="no"/> to differentiate between "no" and t-bib options I hand into the "opt" flag like this: \defineXMLargument [cite] [opt=] {% \doifelse{\XMLop{opt}}{no} {% \expanded{\nocite[\XMLop{id}]}% } {% \expanded{\cite[\XMLop{opt}][\XMLop{id}]}% } } With this definition something like: <cite id="verma:04,mayor:05a,griffin:05" opt="authoryears"/> works just fine, but <cite id="verma:04,mayor:05a,griffin:05" opt="no"/> fails to show up in the biblist. I'm not sure whether this is related to the fact that I'm using an experimental t-bib version which Taco provided to enable correct chapter specific bibliographies. If you have any insight into what I'm doing wrong: please help. Joh
