Question to covers
by Tomas Hala 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

Hi all, I would like to ask whether we have got some module or macros for comfortable proposing of covers for different kinds of binding, containing automatic computation of the corresponding measurments and displaying the parts for bookbinders (eg cutting lines, protection zones, bends, pasting parts etc.) The best, Tomáš

Crossref in bibtex
by context＠joshuamoerman.nl 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hi all, I am now playing around with ConTeXt to see if it fits my needs for writing my thesis :-). One thing which did not work for me was the use of crossref in bibtex entries. This feature is used when generating bibtex entries via DBLP (which is quite standard in computer science). It is used to have one single entry for the journal/conference which the lists the editors. Consequently you can have several paper entries referring to that, without duplicating the editors. This has worked fine for me in LaTeX. But in ConTeXt it seems the crossref is not used at all. Example: \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \usebtxdataset[biblio.bib] \starttext See \cite{PAPER}. Version: \contextversion. \placelistofpublications \stoptext @inproceedings{PAPER, author = {First Last}, title = {PaperTitle}, booktitle = {Conference of BlaBla}, year = {2017}, crossref = {CONF}, } @proceedings{CONF, title = {Conference on BlaBla}, year = {2017}, editor = {Edith Tor}, publisher = {Springer}, } Result (copied from pdf): See (Last, 2017). Version: 2018.07.02 14:39. Last, F. (2017). PaperTitle. In PaperTitle. Conference of BlaBla. Author. Expected (made by manually copying editor/publisher): See (Last, 2017). Version: 2018.07.02 14:39. Last, F. (2017). PaperTitle. In E. Tor (Ed.) Conference of BlaBla. Springer. Should I setup the style differently? Or is the crossref feature not supported? Thanks in advance, All the best, Joshua

19 Jul '18

The macro \completeregister[index] placed in \startbackmatter\startappendices typesets as “I Index”. How can I change and format with my custom macro the part “Index”? Such as using \mytitle{xyz} instead of Index? No solution found in the Context Wiki. dr. Hans van der Meer

Spurious blank line inside paragraph
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Dear list, In the MWE below, ConTeXt generates a spurious blank line inside the paragraph in the pdf output. \setuplayout[grid=yes] \mainlanguage[pt] \starttext Poderíamos perguntar-nos: O mundo que percebemos é uma ilusão? A percepção que tenho do mundo parece objetiva, pois sou consciente disso. Mas também averiguo que existem muitas situações totalmente estranhas para mim: o estado de consciência de um esquizofrênico, a experiência mística de uma Teresa de Ávila, a capacidade, cabalmente comprovada, que muitas pessoas têm de fazer predições, a percepção de um daltônico que vê o mundo em duas cores, as experiências extracorpóreas que milhares de pessoas conhecem, a inflência a que se submete uma pessoa sob os efeitos da hipnose, etc. \stoptext My ConTeXt version: 2018.07.18 17:33 Marcus Vinicius

Finding lua file for module using \registerctxluafile
by Stanislav Sokolenko 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Dear list, I've recently written a small module p-mymod.tex which uses lua code in p-mymod.lua. In order to load this lua code, I use \registerctxluafile{p-mymod}{1.001} (copying the example of m-database.mkiv). However, it seems like the search path for lua files isn't the same as for context module files. When a context file that uses p-mymod through \usemodule[mymod] is placed in a subdirectory, it finds p-mymod, but not the lua portion: p-mymod.tex p-mymod.lua subdir/test.tex Placing the lua file inside the subdirectory resolves this problem: p-mymod.tex subdir/p-mymod.lua subdir/test.tex What is the suggested method to change the lua search path? Ideally, I'd like to avoid placing the files in $TEXMF/tex/context/third/<modulename>/<files> as this module is quite intimately tied to the specific project and it doesn't make much sense to separate the files too much. Thanks, Stan

More spurious <break/> problems in exports
by Rik Kabel 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

List, Another oddity with <break/> elements in XML / xhtml / html export: With a defined highlight, a break is inserted if the highlight is the first item in an environment. If it is not the first item in the environment, no break is inserted. Most of the other odd breaks can be dealt with in css. These are more difficult to tame -- for example, in the startlines environment in the example below, there is not enough information preserved to know if the tagged item is supposed to be a single line or not. (Tests using 2018-07-17 beta on Win64.) Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there a way to control the insertion of the breaks? MWE: \setupbackend [export=yes] \definehighlight [emIt] [style=italic] \starttext \startparagraph {\emIt Taa} aaaaaaaaaaa aa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaa aaa aaaaaaaa aa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaa.

Storing Lua values between Ctx "*first* and next runs
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Hello, is there a Lua variable/namespace which is stored automatically between Ctx "*first" and following runs? I thought 'userdata' is intended for this, but it seems it's not; I'd like to achieve something like: ---- \startluacode if tex.modes["*first"] then userdata.LPr = "Something" -- Is there a variable which is shared between Ctx runs? else assert(userdata.LPr == "Something") end \stopluacode ---- Of course, I can store the table via serialization functions to an extra file, but I thought there is already a variable/mechanism for this (e.g. using .tua/.tuc file) ... is it?
