Eeeep! m-bib/bibtex stopped working
by William D. Neumann 21 Jan '04

For some reason I cannot get bibtex to create my bibliography files for a paper typeset in context with m-bib. When I run bibtex, I get the following error. [231] 10:25AM% bibtex clarifyingObfuscation_ctx ~/Sandia/52597/Whitebox/pureWhite/current This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.2) The top-level auxiliary file: clarifyingObfuscation_ctx.aux I couldn't open style file cont-no.bst ---line 2 of file clarifyingObfuscation_ctx.aux : \bibstyle{cont-no : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command I found no style file---while reading file clarifyingObfuscation_ctx.aux (There were 2 error messages) The aux file contais just the following three lines: \citation{*} \bibstyle{cont-no} \bibdata{crypto} And the m-bib setup lines I am using are as follows: \def\brnum#1% {[#1]} \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=crypto] % use crypto.bib %\setuppublications[alternative=aps] % you don't have the 'aps' choice, yet \setuppublications[numbering=yes,refcommand=num,numbercommand=\brnum] \setuppublicationlist[author=\normalauthor, artauthor=\normalauthor, editor=\normalauthor, surnamesep=, namesep={, }, finalnamesep={, }, lastnamesep={, }, firstnamesep=\ ] I have tried copying the *.bst files into the working directory, which did not work (I get the exact same error from bibtex). Bibtex runs just fine on my latex typeset files, so it is not a problem with bibtex itself. Does anyone have any suggestions? William D.

Italic, captial Greek letters (with Latin Modern)
by Tobias Burnus 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hello, if I understand Latin Modern correctly, it contains the \Psi both as upright and as italic version (CM has only the upright version). How can I get the italic version? It did not work this way: \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern,12pt,ams] \starttext $\Psi$ \stoptext Tobias

how to get an image format flowchart
by wei jm 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hello,everybody, I have a problem while using context to create some flowcharts. The beginning of my tex source file looks like: \setupoutput[pdftex] \usemodule[chart] Naturally I got a flowchart in pdf version. But a pdf version flowchart is not suitable for inserting into a paper or a report. Then I try to use software to convert it from pdf format into some other imgage formats. But none of them was satisfied. I wonder how can I direct get a flowchart in some imgage formats (e.g. in png, jpg format) from the source tex file. Are there some tricks in the settings of the tex source file? Thanks in advance! Best regards wei jm wei(a)uni-duisburg.de 2004-01-20

Problems running context
by Adam Tee 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hi all, I'm having a number of problems when I run context on my documents I keep getting the following whenever a reference is required. systems : begin file Litreview/litreview at line 31 (./Litreview/litreview.tex ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> { \nummer ...lue {\@@thenumber {#1}\c!conversie }} { \countervalue {\@@thenumbe... \labeltexts #1#2->\leftlabeltext {#1}#2 \rightlabeltext {#1} <argument> ...anummer {\pageprefixes \pagenumber } \@@nmrechts \firstofoneargument #1->#1 \doattributes ...EA \csname #1#2\endcsname \fi {#4 }\dostopattributes ... l.4 \chapter[chap:litreview]{Literature Review} Is there any easy solution?? It happens with the bibliography as well but the final output seems correct. Adam

page areas again

Hi, I uploaded a beta with a few more (rather small) modules. These provide a framework for experiments (which i guess Willy will start doing immediately). \usemodule[layout] % todo bindingedge, have to think that over since it's an arrangement related and not layout \starttext \setuplayout[preset-1-1] test \showframe \page \setuplayout[preset-1-1][width=65\averagecharwidth] \setuplayout[preset-1-1] test \showframe \page \setuplayout[preset-2-1] test \showframe \page \setuplayout[preset-2-1][columns=10] \setuplayout[preset-2-1] test \showframe \page \setuplayout[preset-2-2] test \showframe \page \setuplayout[preset-2-2][columns=10] \setuplayout[preset-2-2] test \showframe \page \stoptext (texexec --modu --pdf lang-frq should provide nasty details; lang-frd is a nice playground for language specific widths) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma(a)wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unable to customize publication list
by Giuseppe Bilotta 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Hi, another m-bib problem from it.comp.software.tex ... it seems that none of the "list customizations" options (i.e. neither the \setuppublicationlist nor \setuplist[pubs] allows to change the numbercommand parameter (e.g. to put brackets around the bibref number in the list); a quick glance at the log shows that the numbercommand is getting overruled by \initializepublist ... how to cope with this? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Localizing the bibliography
by Giuseppe Bilotta 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Hi all, as a follow-up to a request on it.comp.software.tex (ya know, I managed to trick a couple of Italians in using ConTeXt ;)): the m-bib module and companion files have a bunch of strings that get inserted in the bibliography list; some of them are localizable (e.g. the "and" or the "et.al."), others are not; the idea would be that all the strings should be localizable; a couple of nonparametrized strings that come to mind are "pages" or "PhD thesis". -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

typearea
by Peter Münster 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Hello, I'm just switching from LaTeX to ConTeXt. Is there already a module with similar functionalities as the typearea¹ package that comes with LaTeX? ¹ typearea comes with KOMA-Script and permits to automatically calculate the right margins with respect to some typographic rules.
