Acrobat Reader 7.0(beta) for Linux
by Tobias Burnus 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hello, as Heise.de is informing (06.01.2005 10:44), Adobe offers now AR7. "Adobe provides Acrobat Reader 7 for Linux [Update] Adobe provides a beta version of the free Adobe Reader 7 for Linux, shortly after the release of the PDF generator Acrobat 7. Interested parties can register for the beta program at the reader-download page [1]. [...] As previously announced, in Acrobat Reader 7 a Yahoo toolbar is installed, which blocks pop ups and aids with the internet search." [1] http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html I've to admit that I couldn't find it there, but I was told that one can find it here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=unix (though I fail to open that page, maybe to many people read heise.de). Tobias PS: A bit late happy new year wishes to all.

optional arguments, if(nth)argument
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hello again! Today I'm trying a lot of new (to me) things... This time, a macro with optional arguments and \if...argument : \def\SkillField{\dodoubleempty\doSkillField} \def\doSkillField[#1][#2]#3{\bTR\bTD #3 \iffirstargument\hfill (#1)\fi % don't print when no optional argument \eTD \bTD \ifsecondargument % if second optional arg is provided \definefield[#2][line][Skill][#1]\field[#2] \else % if no second optional arg \definefield[#3][line][Skill][#3]\field[#3] \fi \eTD\eTR} e.g. \SkillField[+8][Aergern]{Ärgern} % works \SkillField[+1]{Labern} % does nothing instead of "else" \SkillField{Testen} % does "\hfill (#1)", but should do nothing Apparently, the \if...argument ... \else don't work as they should. Where's my mistake? Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

function that purges 8 bit text?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hi there! I try to typeset a roleplaying character sheet as PDF form; it contains a table of skills, each line is a \SkillField after this def: \def\SkillField#1#2{\bTR\bTD #1\hfill (#2) \eTD \bTD \definefield[#1][line][SkillSetup][#2]\field[#3]\eTD\eTR} e.g. \SkillField{Climbing}{+8} becomes a table line like: Climbing (+8) [+8] Now there are a lot of skills that contain e.g. umlauts, so that \definefield[#1] fails. I don't like to introduce a third parameter. Is there a possibility to strip all invalid chars from a string, so that \SkillField{Erzählen}{0} can define a field named "Erzaehlen" or "Erzhlen" or "Erzahlen"? (Sorry, I can't program in TeX.) If this is not possible, I'll try an optional parameter. Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

bibdemo.tex
by Willi Egger 06 Jan '05

Hi, Testing the file provided by Taco before installing the new alpha-Context did not result in a reference from \cite[don], only a () is typeset. After installing the new alpha-Context, the problem with the \section command is indeed solved. Still there is only a () from the citation. What is going wrong? Kind regards Willi

by Hans Hagen 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Hi, I uploaded an alpha release. Well, not that alpha, since i run it here as default, but this one has the bib files packahed. Some code moved to the system modules and some bits and pieces were cleaned up. Taco and I will discuss a further clean up / internationalization later. I hope that this fisex some of the reported problems. (next on the list is the nath module, but i wait till GB tells me to do so) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Figure captions
by Taco Hoekwater 05 Jan '05

05 Jan '05

Hi, Does anybody know how I can get a dot after the figure number in a caption, without 'promoting' that dot to figure references in the body text as well? I remember I've had this problem before, but that was a long time ago and I don't remember the solution any more. Greetings, Taco

Bib module produces no output
by David Antos 04 Jan '05

04 Jan '05

Hello, bib module of 30-8-2004 produces no bibliography list on \placepublications with ConTeXt 2004.12.17 (last stable) and/or latest beta. The workaround is to use \setuplist[pubs][criterium=all] somewhere in the setup. Can you please make including the whole bibliography make the default? I'm pretty sure that's what everybody expects :-) Thanks, D.A. -- Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious. -- Oscar Wilde: An Ideal Husband
