bibliography again: “von” and “van”
by Jörg Weger 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

The default way to diplay (inverted) names with “von” and “van” is “von Goethe” and “van Halen” in in-text references and “von Goethe, Johann Wolfgang” and “van Halen, Edward”. The problem with this is that while AFAIK the Dutch “van Halen” means that one of his ancestors came ”from” a place/city called “Halen” in German names the “von” is always a sign of nobility. Even long before monarchy and nobility was abolished in Germany by the revolution of 1919 you would not have talked about “von Goethe” but simply “Goethe”–so in a reference it would be “(Goethe 1774)” and “Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von” in the publications list, but still “(van Halen 1984)” and “van Halen, Edward”. It would be nice if you could switch between two modes while invoking the citation. I have not yet discovered where this order is defined. Greetings Jörg

Strange bug in interactive table of content...
by Rob Heusdens 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

A right parenthesis ')' shows up as black in the interactive table of contents (which otherwise displays as green). Here is a MWE: \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] \definecombinedlist[content][chapter] \setupcombinedlist[content][level=4, alternative=c] \setbreakpoints[compound] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Noten bij de digitale (her)uitgave} \chapter{Noten bij de digitale (her)\-uitgave} \chapter{Tries: her)uit} \chapter{Tries: her)ui} \chapter{Tries: er)uit} \stoptext If I comment \setbreakpoint[compound] the bug does not show. It seems to matter what characters come before and after the right parenthesis for this bug to show up. To bypass the problem, one can use \- after the rparen, and then the bug does not show up, but I don't think anyone encountered this small and particular bug... Greetings, Rob Output in attachement.

> Hi Massi, > > Could you possibly provide a small pdf sample that illustrates exactly > what you are looking for? Thanks and > > Best wishes > Idris Thanks for your reply, Idris. Here's an example: *** traditional (stacked) footnotes *** *************************************** 1. This is the text of the first footnote 2. This is the text of the second footnote *** inline footnotes (one paragraph for all the footnotes) *** ************************************************************** 1. first footnote --- 2. second footnote --- 3. the third footnote, extending to the next line --- 4. fourth one *** footnotes in columns in ConTeXt (\setupfootnotes[n=3]) *** ************************************************************** 1. first footnote 2. second one 3. third one 4. fourth one, hy- phenated "Inline footnotes" are good when you have a lot of short notes, that would eat a lot of vertical space, and sometimes other longer footnotes. I've put an m-dash as a separator, but you could use a wide space or another separator. Footnotes in columns are good if they are ALL shorter than the column width. The LaTeX package "footmisc" provides the "inline footnotes" by the option "para". But, if I understand right, LaTeX packages are not compatible with ConTeXt.

inline footnotes
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hello, I'd like to know how to get "inline footnotes" with ConTeXt. There are some packages in LaTeX (option "para" in footmisc, manyfoot, bigfoot) providing that feature. How can I do that in ConTeXt? Thanks, Massi

Re: [NTG-context] bibliography again: “von” and “van”

Most probably I’m not qualified to seriously discuss Bibliography matters in ConTeXt, but wat Keith has written here appeals to me. It would probably be OK to try and control all and everything in a Bibliography with commands and codes if there were only a few standard ways of presenting a bibliography. But that is not the case, even if most people seem to use apa-style. What should one do with an old book, of which there are several “facsimile editions” and an English translation, and you were required, by the publisher or the university, to render it in the Bibliography in the following way: Gasparini, Francesco, L’Armonico pratico al cimbalo (Venice, 1709); repr. (New York, 1967); repr. (Bologna, 2001); trans. Frank Stillings as The Practical Harmonist at the Harpsichord (New Haven, CT, 1963) or, other example: Buchner, Hans, Das Fundamentbuch (c1525), CH-Bmi, MS F.I.8; ME: in Carl Paesler, ‘Fundamentbuch von Hans von Constanz, Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte des Orgelspiels im 16. Jahrhundert’, VMw, 5 (1889), 1-192 ? With a Bibliography to make of about 500 items, for a PhD thesis, of which more than half were of this kind, I gave up on all sophisticated tools of BibTeX and exclusively used the format Booklet, with Author, Title, City and PubYear, generated a .bbl and edited that to give me the correct form. And, yes, I had to tweak the apa -style a little but that part was easy. The two examples are in the .bbl-file as follows: \startpublication[k=Gasparini:2001ublt,t=booklet, a={{{Gasparini, Francesco}}},y=2001, n=73,s={Gas}01] \author[]{}[]{}{{Gasparini, Francesco}} \pubyear{1963} \title{{L'armonico pratico al cimbalo {\em (Venice, 1708); repr.~(New York, 1967); repr. (Bologna, 2001); trans.~by Frank Stillings~as} The Practical Harmonist at the Harpsichord}} \city{New Haven, CT} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=Buchner:1525fblt,t=booklet, a={{{Buchner, Hans}}},y=, n=39,s={Buc}] \author[]{}[]{}{{Buchner, Hans}} \title{{{Das Fundamentbuch} {\em ({\em c}1525), CH-Bmi, MS F.I.8; ME: in Carl Paesler, \quote{Fundamentbuch von Hans von Constanz, Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte des Orgelspiels im 16.~Jahrhundert}}, VMw, {\em 5 (1889), 1-192}}} \stoppublication Primitive? Certainly. But it is straightforward, very flexible and it works. I hope of course that the new Bibliography tool will be very powerful, but I also hope that it will remain possible, in ConTeXt, to keep doing things in a simple manner. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

bibliography: alignment of first hanging lines in publications list, hyphenation
by Jörg Weger 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Attached are a MWE using plain APA and the corresponding BibTeX file. (Don’t mind the mistakes regarding series/volumes, I got that working in my personal setup that overrides plain APA.) APA style defaults with hanging indents in the publications list. The respectively hanging first lines of each entry in the publications list are not properly aligned on the left. (The indented lines are). I would like all of those first lines to start on the very left of the textfield. If I use \hyphenation to prevent e.g. names from being hyphenated those words might be driven into the right margin. Hanging punctuation doesn’t seem to work as well. Is there anything that can be done about that? Or how can the justification be switched to flush left/ragged right with hanging indents on the left? Greetings Jörg PS: And by the way, “\placebtxrendering[criterium=all]” is not working anymore. I think I had it working before to place all entries from the BibTeX file into the publications list regardless of their actual appearance in the text as citations–which was a good way to test only the publications list’s layout.
