References formatting (m-bib related problems)
by Renaud AUBIN 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hi all, At first, I use m-bib-beta-20060208.zip. Up to now, I used: \setupbibtex[database=biblio,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=num-fr,sorttype=bbl,numbering=yes] %% In order to format Names with small capitals: \def\mynormalauthor#1#2#3#4#5% {\bibdoif{#1}{#1\bibalternative{firstnamesep}}% \bibdoif{#2}{#2\bibalternative{vonsep}}% \bgroup\sc#3\egroup\bibalternative{surnamesep}\unskip \bibdoif{#5}{#5\unskip}} \setuppublicationlist [artauthor=\mynormalauthor, editor=\mynormalauthor, author=\mynormalauthor] Everything works fine, but now I would use apa-fr and I have some problems. After discussing this topic with Taco on #context, I have tried the following code: % \cite[name00] should return [Name, 2000] \unprotect\def\mybibcommand#1{\expanded{\cite[\@@pbk]}~~} \protect \setupbibtex[database=biblio,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa,sorttype=bbl,numbercommand=\mybibcommand, numbering=yes,autohang=yes] \setupcite[authoryears][left={[},right={]}] So, just forget to format the authors with normalauthor & small capitals.... It's ok for the cite command but labels of the references listing is wrong (each label are the same and correspond in fact to the last entry ! )... Any idea ??? Add to this the fact that I don't like the formatting of the year -> (1999). Since I like the formatting applied with num-fr, how to reproduce it with apa-fr. (I have tested apa and apa-fr and it gives same results in either) Cheers, Renaud

wiki / modules

Hi, How about renaming the font related zips to f-somename.zip (just like modules are organized in t-somename.zip files). Also, the font zips need to be made tds (texmf tree) compliant: bibtex fonts tex metapost doc + the right context subpaths so, no texmf root included there should be no README files in the root, although i can imagine that we permit t-somename.readme the t-greek zip needs to be repackaged (zip inside zip + texmf root) that way i can fetch the files automatically and create a cont-ext.zip file automatically Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Struggling with Old Style numerals!
by G.C.H.M. Verhaag 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Dear ConTeXt users, Currently I'm busy typesetting a book using ConTeXt. I use the Computer Modern (Serif, SansSerif and Italic) free font. I don't know much about the details of typescripts and typefaces, it's fairly complex and not very clear to me. The documents "Fonts in ConTeXt" and "TeXFont Explained" add even more to my confusion concerning fonts, sorry! I'd like to know whether it is possible to change all the 'normal' numerals to old-style ones throughout the entire book. I need serif, sansserif and italic old-style numerals! Frankly speaking, I don't even know whether anything like that is possible with either the Computer or Latin Modern font? Thanks! -- Geert C.H.M. Verhaag St. Jorisstraat 29 5954 AN Beesel NETHERLANDS Tel.: +31-(0)774742493, E-mail: verhaaggchm(a)ision.nl

Table Documentation
by Jeffrey Drake 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Noticing that the Context Manaul did not have anything on tables, but the 'Context: an excursion' had some, it referred to a 'Table' manual: - The tables below are shown with their sources. You can always read the TABLE manual by M.J. Wichura for more sophisticated examples. - (page 29pdf) I seem to be unable to find this, or any other complete relevant documentation for making tables. Regards, Jeffrey Drake

Next Problems: texexec.ini is not found in 'context\config' I copyed it in 'scripts\context\perl' now it is found. 'texexec --verbose' tries to compile all the files in the aktuel path. but 'texmfstart texexec.pl --verbose' works ok. same with 'texexec --make --all' doesn't work but 'texmfstart texexec.pl --make --all' works! formatfiles will generatet under '.\pdfetex' relativ to the aktual path.

> \setuphead[title] > [deeptextcommand=\WORD] > > Does that work? It does, it does!!!! You just saved my night. Can I send you a pint of beer somewhere? --- I tried finding more information about deeptextcommand, but all I found was a brief comment about deep hooks in the release notes (19-Jan-06). I can write something about this into Wiki, but that requires me to understand a bit more. Where do I start looking for? Thanks again, - Ville
