Floats page?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 21 Nov '05

How do I tell ConTeXt that I don't mind if the pages are totally filled by floats (two, three, as many as fit) even if there is no text whatsoever? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Setting up items...
by Otared KAVIAN 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

HI all, I have a rather long sequence of items in which each one is numbered with a right stopper, a right parenthesis. Items numbered from 1) to 9) are correctly aligned and what I want is to have items 10) to 12) (for instance) be aligned in the same way, that is: (9) item number 9. (10) item number 10. (11) item number 11. (12) item number 12. in other words numbers above 10 should protrude to the left, not to the right (see the minimal example below). I am sure at some point in the past I solved this issue but I cannot find anymore how... Can anyone give insight? Another, secondary question, is: how can I make the items be numbered like: (1) item one (2) item two that is numbers are enclosed between parentheses? Thanks a lot in advance: OK %% item-sample.tex \defineconversion[exercise][\numbers] \starttext \startitemize[exercise][style=bold,stopper=)] \dorecurse{12}{\item This is question number \recurselevel.} \stopitemize \stoptext

[BIB] nocite / criterium=all
by Giuseppe Bilotta 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Small problem with bibtex. I have (in a document different from the one I mentioned before) \setupbibtex[database={mrabbrev,bilotta}] \setuppublications[alternative=ams,criterium=all] but when I do \placepublications[criterium=all] I get nothing. If I \cite[something], that something gets included. How am I supposed to place all the publications without citing anything? BTW, you may also want to introduce the \nocite command, which adds something to the publications list without actually citing it in the text. If you want, you can make it support the \nocite[*] syntax to hiddenly cite everything. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta P.S. This is rather urgent ...

bibmodule
by Thomas A. Schmitz 21 Nov '05

Taco, I hardly dare bring this up, but the latest beta release of your module appears to break something that worked before: the wonderfule \cite[extras={}][key] doesn't work. When I have this: \cite[extras={.5}][hoekwater] I would expect, with my setup, [10.5] but instead, I get [hoekwater] in the typeset version. Sorry for bothering you again. Thanks and best Thomas

typesetting proofs
by debongnie＠math.ucl.ac.be 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Dear ConTeXt users, i am trying to typeset correctly proofs in a document. I tried to use the following definition : \defineenumeration[preuve] [location=serried, headstyle=slanted, text=Preuve, number=no, after={\hfil\QED}] It's almost what i want, but there's a slight problem. The command after executes itself after a newline, so, the QED symbol is typeset at the line after the end of the proof. What i'd like to have is the qed symbol at the end of the last line of the proof. Any insight on how i can do that? Thanks

Re: Compiling stops with ...
by David Arnold 21 Nov '05

Gerben, Taco, OK, I am using Gerben's Context Updated with a beta, so I think what's running is the context in texmf.local. I have two type-tmf.dat. lm $ locate type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context/data/type-tmf.dat lm $ Does it matter which of these I use? Before I run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat," two things: 1. How do I figure out whether to set TEXMFMAIN or TEXMFDIST? That is, how can I tell where these environment variables point? 2. I could cut and paste in type-tmf.dat, but can I do it with one line in the file type-tmf.dat somehow? What would be the line I would add near the top of the file? On Nov 20, 2005, at 12:17 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote: > > Hi David, > > Gerben Wierda wrote: > >> Hans?

bibtex: crossref / van
by Rob Ermers 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Dear friends, I noticed that the crossref instruction in my bib file does not work. In the documentation are no clear clues. I changed InCollection --> InBook and vice versa. I tried putting the referenced book before and after the referencing item in the bib file. In fact, a reference does appear (between brackets), but the title referenced to is not printed. I read in the archive Taco's advice of putting \setbox\scratchbox={\hbox{\placepublications}} before \completepublications, but Context stumbles at the setbox command. 2. I also have problems with sorting author names like Van den Heuvel. Under Latex I used \noopsort, but this does not seem to work under Context Does anyone have a clue? Kind regards, Robert
