Bib bug in using months
by Aditya Mahajan 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi Taco, In my bib file, I have month enteries like month=jan, month=feb, and so on. While I was learning latex, I read somewhere that this is better than writing explicit names for the month as the bst file can then choose whether to use long names or short names. It is also possible to choose the month names according to the language of the main document. I followed that advice and now I have HUGE bib file with such enteries. However, the bib module does not support this naming scheme. I get \month{1} \month{2} etc in my bbl file. Can this be corrected? This is not urgent at all, as I can correct everything in my editor, changing \month{1} to \month{Jan.} or \month{January} depending on what citation style I want. It will be nice if the context bst style did this by default. Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008

Problem with a french document
by Renaud AUBIN 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi all, I use a "complex" structure for my document (project, product, environment and components). The project is allmost empty except for the environment and the product declarations. The environment contains all my \usemodule, \setupstuff and fonts settings (I use texnansi because I can't have correct horizontal spaces in MetaUML with the EC encoding... and don't want bitmap fonts :) ). The product obviously contains the project declaration, the \start-\stoptext and my components. My question is: What's the best place to put french settings ? For the moment, I have: \useregime[il9] \enableencoding[ffr] \mainlanguage[fr] in my product but I have some VERY STRANGE problems with accentuated characters (I have tried before and after \startproduct...): 1.I have a custom title page defined in a t-title.tex module -> a ô results in 'ô while è and é are right (maybe a problem with texnansi but I don't think so) 2. \setupheadertexts[][{\sl \getmarking[chapter]}] \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \chapter{Table des matières} \placecontent[alternative=c,criterium=all,interaction=all,partnumber=no] \stopfrontmatter results in: Tables des Mati'ères in the header, the toc element and the chapter title... while other toc elements is ok (with accentuated characters) 3. same problems with \chapter within backmatter start/stop pair... I must precise that I have the following error: TeXUtil | fatal error in plugin processor MySynonyms (wrong argument type nil (expected Regexp)) I'm going nuts... :-! Cheers, Renaud

Global and per product TOC
by nico 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hello, I would like to be able to have a set of books in a single document, and think the project/product model could be used. In the big manual it is said that one can have a completecontent per product. I would like a global TOC, and for each product a TOC per product (in this case per book). Currently each book have the whole project TOC. How to achieve this? Thanks for any hint. The structure I've tried: \startproject proj % global TOC \completecontent \product book1 \product book2 \stopproject -------------- \startproduct book1 \project proj % well, to put in an environment file... \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter % Local book TOC? \completecontent[criterium=local] \chapter{A} a \chapter{B} a \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{A} a \chapter{B} a \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{A} a \chapter{B} a \stopappendices \stoptext \stopproduct ------------- (The same for book2) Regards, BG

\quad in pdf author
by Aditya Mahajan 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hi, \setupinteraction [ author={Author 1 \quad Author 2}, ] gives me "Author 1 hskip 1em" in pdf info. Is there some way to ensure that \quad is ignored when used in \setupinteraction[...]. I use variables and setups to create a title page and use doctitle and author information in pdf document properties. I need quad in the titlepage but not in pdf properties.

m-bib and \onlinecite
by Tobias Burnus 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hello, what is the recommended way to get the following: as is written in Ref.~4. Using Ref.~\cite[four] gives "Ref. [4]" with the superfluous brackets. (\cite[ref] should remain unmodified, ie with brackets, as this is mostly used in texts [1-5,7].) APS' revtex offers \onlinecite (Ref.~\onlinecite{four}) to obtain the reference number without the brackets. Tobias

t-greek and german "Umlaute"
by Ludwig Meier 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hello, I'd like to include text in classical greek in a german ConTeXt document. The "t-greek"-package works very well, but now there's a problem: ConTeXt does not understand german "Umlaute" and german quotationmarks any more. Here is a short example: \mainlanguage[de] \usemodule[t-greek] \starttext Die deutschen Umlaute funktionieren weder so ("a, "o oder "u) noch so (\"a, \"o oder \"u). Auch deutsche "`Anf"uhrungszeichen"' werden nicht erkannt. Das ist griechischer Text: \localgreek{p'olin >'ektisen}. \stoptext The result looks like this: Die deutschen Umlaute funktionieren weder so ( , oder ) noch so ( , oder ). Auch deutsche `Anfhrungszeichen werden nicht erkannt. Das ist griechischer Text: p'olin >'ektisen. Could anybody help me? Greetings from Munich, Ludwig
