bib module bug?
by Idris Samawi Hamid 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Dear Taco and the rest of the gang, There seems to be a problem with the \cite when encountering \penalty1000: ConTeXt ver: 2006.01.28 10:09 fmt: 2006.1.29 In the following example if you uncomment %\def\citeauthoroutpage[#1][#2]{\cite[alternative=authoryears,left={}, right={, #2)},inbetween={ (}][#1]} Then you will get the error: ========================================= ! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> \penalty \nonbreakablespace ->\penalty \!!tenthousand \ <argument> ...=authoryears,left={}, right={, vol.~ 2, p.~605--6)},inbetween={... \expanded ...\long \xdef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1 }\@@expanded \docite ...on [\csname @@pv#2compress\endcsname ]} [ \v!yes =>\bibcitecompre... l.52 ...eauthoroutpage[jamil04][vol.~2, p.~605--6] . I ? ======================================== This used to compile just fine. I am now in the terrible position of having to make last-minute editorial changes to a manuscript I sent to the publishers months ago, and at the same time be on the guard for new ConTeXt errors! :-(( I switched all my bib macros (like \citeauthoroutpage) to the \cite style of the above definition, and I really don't want to change back to the \setupcite style and have to debug this all over again... Thank you in advance for your help!!

Ibn~Qad\=i \v Suhba\~h's narrative proceeds as follows: \footnote{\citeauthoroutpage[jamil04][vol.~2, p.~605--6]. I have been unable to confirm this entry in the two Sunni{} biographies mentioned in the text, Ibn~Rajab and Ibnu~\~al-Fuwat\~i. It is also worth noting that Ibn~Q\=ad\=i \v Suhba\~h was writing about events taking place in Baghdad from Damascus. Perhaps, the geographical distance from of the author from the events and sites being described is worthy of consideration. } \stoptext ============================================

Heading next to figure
by Volker Mische 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Hi! I hope this message won't be double posted, as I tried to send it already when i wasn't a member of this list. I have a floating figure (\placefigure) on the right side of the page. Now I'd like to have some text with headings (\subject in my case) next to it. The problem is, that the headings start below the figure, and not next to it. Is there a way to avoid that spacing and have the headings next to the figure? -Volker.

Gnuplot - suggestions wanted
by Mojca Miklavec 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

I've put some preliminary version of "context terminal" for gnuplot on http://pub.mojca.org/gnuplot/. Since the conversation about possible improvements of the terminal would be a bit too much off-topic for this mailing list, you can join the brainstorming area on http://groups.google.com/group/gnuplot-context. If any gnuplot user is interested in the way that ConTeXt could communicate with gnuplot, feel free to write suggestions on that list or to me personally. There's still much to be done, most notably handling text, 3D plotting, color palettes as well as the ConTeXt-side of support (direct inclusion of those graphics into documents & some \setupGNUPLOT[... = ...]), but for 2D plots it's already useful. If you want to try it, you can get source from https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=2055, add context.trm (you get it on the link posted above) into term/ folder, add #include "context.trm" to src/term.h and try to compile from within src folder. I've also uploaded a windows binary, but I don't give any warranty for it (I'll upload a slightly fixed version soon). Mojca

Force an indent
by David Arnold 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

All, How can I force an indent on my last paragraph? My attempt below does not work. I don't really want to redefine any setups, I just want an indent this one time. %output=pdf \starttext Again, we choose to multiply the fours, then the result by the square root of three. That is, \placeformula[-] \startformula 4(4\sqrt3) =16\sqrt3. \stopformula \indent By induction, we can argue that that the associative and commutative properties will allows us to group and arrange the product of more than three numbers in any order that we please. \stoptext

Context 2006.02.15 released
by Taco Hoekwater 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip The current release has version 2006.02.15. The total set of distributed files now consists of eight files; the zip containing a repackaging of cont-lmt.zip and the zip containing pattern files have been deleted. The zip with windows font support has merged with the remaining zip with font metrics. A very short list of changes is given below. As usual, there is an html page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes New features (since 2006.02.03): * newtexexec has a new switch --keep, that uses <tt>.keep</tt> as extension for temporary files * texmfstart has a new switch --showenv, that dumps the runtime environment. * There is now some support for intelligent spaces after logos, use \setupsorting[logo][next=\autoinsertnextspace] * Trailing empty lines in verbatims can be typeset using \setupverbatim[empty=all] * demo code is added to many presentation styles Interesting bugfixes: * \startitemize[start=2] * unintentionally numbered math displays * strechted-out math in short figure captions. ***This fix may change linebreaking in other center-ed paragraphs!*** * wrong extra space after \quote and \quotation * \type{\iffalse} (and other if... tests) Happy TeXing, Taco

gnuplot mode
by Renaud AUBIN 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi all, I'm trying to use the gnuplot mode (texlive+ ConTeXt 2006.02.03) and the command texexec --pdf --mode=demo m-gnuplot results in a m-gnuplot.pdf where only the png is correctly displayed... All the m-gnuplot-gnuplot-*.pdf are unknown... I assume I have missed something... But what ? Cheers, Renaud
