XML and title page rule
by Johannes Graumann 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hello, I'm trying to make the following work: 1) XML: <titlepage authors="Autor Autor" title="Something &emdash; or <i>Something else</i>" subtitle="Much Fun" publisher="Somebody" /> 2) ConTeXt translation rule: \defineXMLargument[titlepage]{% \startstandardmakeup \vfil \bfd \setupinterlinespace Whatever \par \bfb \setupinterlinespace You Want \par \vfil \vfil \stopstandardmakeup } I was intending to feed the variables in through '\XMLvar', but can't get the start working (see 2).). I would be grateful if someone could nudge me into the right direction ... Is it even possible to have XML nodes in the variables evaluated ("<i>")? If the above isn't feasible: how would I write an import rule for something like: <titlepage> <authors>Autor Autor</authors> <title>Something &emdash; or <i>Something else</i></title> <subtitle>Much Fun</subtitle> <publisher>Somebody</publisher> </titlepage> Thanks for any hints - need sleep now ...

XML and references
by Johannes Graumann 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hello all, I'm trying to interpret something like <section label="intro:mixtureprob"> <title>The problem of the complex protein mixture</title> <content> <ref name="intro:mixtureprob"/> </content> </section> With the follwing mapping rules and am failing: \defineXMLenvironment [section] { \defineXMLargument [title] [\XMLpar{section}{label}{}] {\section} \defineXMLenvironment [content] {}{} } {} \defineXMLargument [ref] {\textreference[\XMLpar{ref}{name}{}]} I would appreciate any insight into my folly ... Thanks, Joh

Figure Libraries
by David Arnold 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

All, I have chapter1.tex: \startproduct chapter1 \project book \startbodymatter \setupheadnumber[chapter][0] \chapter[chap:1]{Functions} \component chapter1/section1 \component chapter1/section2 \component chapter1/section3 \component chapter1/section4 \stopbodymatter \stopproduct All the files for chapter1 are in a folder named chapter1, for example chapter1/section1.tex. All the figures for chapter1 are in chapter1/figures/. section2.tex starts with: \startcomponent section2 \project book \product chapter1 \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[math-ext] \usemodule[fig-base] \usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection2] \section[section:graph]{The Graph of a Function} In chapter1/figures/figlibSection2.xml, there is: <figure> <file>sec2foura.png</file> <label>foura</label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> section4.tex starts with: \startcomponent section4 \project book \product chapter1 \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[math-ext] \usemodule[fig-base] \usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection4] In chapter1/figures/figlibSection4.xml, there is: <figure> <file>sec4foura.png</file> <label>foura</label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> The difficulty was this. When I compiled chapter1.tex, the \externalfigure[foura] in section4.tex used the foura from figlibSection2.xml. My workaround was to rename the second instance \externalfigure [sec4foura], but I am wondering a bit about this mechanism.

All, I have the strangest Metapost error. The attached file compiles with: texexec section1figs It compiles just fine. But if I take the last graphic in the file, copy it (everything between last \startMPpage...\stopMPpage pair, including \startMPpage ... \stopMPpage, then paste it at the end of the file, then I get this error: [10.1] [MP to PDF] (./section1figs-mpgraph.11) [11.1] [MP to PDF] (./section1figs-mpgraph.12 ! Dimension too large. <recently read> \onebasepoint \handleMPboundingbox ... \dimen 2 #5\onebasepoint \xdef \MPyshift {\the \dim... l.2 %%BoundingBox: -63 -57 67 23594 ? Any ideas?

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
by Hans Hagen 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

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.
