extra space after \quote, \quotation
by Alan Bowen 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

\quote and \quotation generate an unwanted space after the closing quote or quotation mark. To see the problem, try \starttext (\quote{Hello world!}) (\quotation{Hello world!}) \stoptext Is this old news or an artefact of recent changes? Best, Alan

texmfstart.exe vs. texmfstart.rb
by Hooman Javidnia 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hi Hans and Taco, Thanks to all your guidance and a lot of trial and error, now I have a SciTE under windwos XP which works. There is one strange feature though. I had to put the .exe version of texmfstart into the scripts ruby scripts folder so that my files get compiled. SciTE can't understand that texmfstart.rb is there and ruby is installed. Before I copy the .exe version to this directory, I could run all texmfstart commands from the command line without any problem, but from within SciTE the commands won't run. What is the difference between the two versions? And why SciTE can't understand that ruby scripts are in system path and run them? Best regards, -h

Re: [NTG-context] ToC problem
by Elliot Clifton 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

I found the cause of the problem there was a problem with the value I was passing to \chapter{} that prevented the chapter title from being shown in the ToC. I've a second ToC related question. Is it possible to more text to a ToC entry? As I want to list both chapter titles and the author. Something like: [chapter-title][author].....................................[page no.] Elliot

by David Arnold 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

All, With the wincontext installed, I run: texexec section1figs and I wind up with only section1figs-mpgraph.1. I want all of them. What switch should I throw at texexec. My source looks like: \startMPpage ... \stopMPpage \startMPpage ... \stopMPpage etc. David Arnold College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department Eureka, CA 95501 (707) 476-4222 http://online.redwoods.edu/instruct/darnold/

write18

Gerben, With a default install of Context, I don't believe write18 is enabled nor run time development of Metapost graphics. Do you do any of that? If so, what configuration steps do you take? David

Section Numbering
by Aditya Mahajan 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Well this should be very easy to do in context, but I can not seem to find the right switches. For a document that I am writing, I want section and subsection numbers to display as follows A. Section 1 A-1 Section 1, subsection 1 B. Section 2 and so on. What is the magic command?

ToC Problem
by Elliot Clifton 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Hi, Article names are not displayed in my ToC, the seperators and page numbers do appear though. I set upmy heads, lists, and contents as follows: \definehead[Article][chapter] \setuphead[Article][number=no] \definelist[Article][alternative=c, criterium=all] \definecombinedlist [MyContent] [Article] [level=Article, placehead=yes, criterium=all, alternative=c] The list will render correctly but not the ToC. I could use the list rather than the combined list, but I want get combined list working as I have yet to have any success with them whem using my own heads. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Elliot

Two questions: Bib module and Headers
by Miguel Queiros 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Hi, I'm using Bib module and bibtex to create my bibliography. I would like to order it by author name, and I'v tried it using: \setupbibtex[database=opensource-educacao,sort=author] But didn't get the desired result. Should I be using anything else ? And now for the header question: I'm using the following code to change the font size of my header from 12pt to 10pt. \setupheadertexts[][\setups{ta}] \startsetups[ta] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \getmarking[chapter] \stopsetups Using \setupbodyfont[10pt] in this case is the best solution ? Thank you, Miguel Queirós
