Font switching on title page
by Jörg Weger 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

I have started to design a title page for a paper. First comes an information block at bodyfont size \tf (all in sans serif), followed by the title of the paper in \bfd, then the author (=me) in \bfa. The information block that follows then should be in bodyfont size again, but it isn’t, it is too tall. What am I missing about font switching? Is it maybe because it is a makeup page? %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Here is a MWE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definemakeup[titlepage][pagestate=stop,doublesided=no] \starttext \starttitlepagemakeup[top=,] \tf \ss information \crlf about \crlf university \crlf and \crlf course \par \blank[4*line] \bfd \ss Paper \par \blank \bfa \ss by me \blank[4*line] \tf \ss my \crlf information, \crlf adress \crlf etc. \stoptitlepagemakeup \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end of MWE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Bug? Interaction between criterium=cite and sectioning
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Dear gang, When sectioning is combined with the bibliography handler, \placepublications [criterium=cite] stops working. For example (also attached): ========= \starttext \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \startpublication[k=corbin81, t=book, a=Corbin, y=1981, s=Corbin81] \author[]{Henry}[H.]{}{Corbin} \title{The Concept of Comparative Philosophy} \pubname{Golgonooza Press} \city{Ipswich, United Kingdom} \pubyear{1981} \stoppublication \startsection[title=Introduction] \cite[corbin81] \stopsection \startsection[title=References] \placepublications [criterium=cite] \stopsection % \section{Introduction} % \cite[corbin81] % \section{References} % \placepublications [criterium=cite] \stoptext ========= If lines 18 and 20 are commented (effectively putting all content into a single section), then it will work: ========= \startsection[title=Introduction] \cite[corbin81] % \stopsection % \startsection[title=References] \placepublications [criterium=cite] \stopsection ========= The old unstructured sectioning commands behave the same way (commented at the end of the file). Note that \placepublications [criterium=all] works across sections, which will of course output the entire database (which we do not want). Is there a setting that I'm missing? Tried things like \setuphead[section][continue=yes] to no avail. Assuming this is a bug: Can this be fixed? Urgently if possible?

Dear Knights, Comments used to work in bbl files but no longer: ========== \starttext \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \startpublication[k=corbin81, t=book, a=Corbin, y=1981, s=Corbin81] \author[]{Henry}[H.]{}{Corbin} % \author[]{Henry}[H.]{von }{Corbin} \title{The Concept of Comparative Philosophy} \pubname{Golgonooza Press} \city{Ipswich, United Kingdom} \pubyear{1981} \stoppublication \placepublications [criterium=all] % inherits from \setuppublications % \completepublications[criterium=cite] % only works with criterium=all \stoptext ========== See the attached pdf; we get in the pdf output: %Corbin, H. and von Corbin, H. (1981). with an explicit '%'. Can this be fixed? Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Citing a PhD dissertation
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Dear gang, ConTeXt currently follows archaic BibTeX conventions in labeling doctoral dissertations for bibliography. So we have the tag 'phdthesis' as in \startpublication[k=hamid98, t=phdthesis, a=Hamid, y=1998, s=ISH98] \author[]{Idris Samawi}[I.]{}{Hamid} \title{The Metaphysics and Cosmology of \TeX} \pubname{\TeX\ State University} \pubyear{1998} \stoppublication The tag gets mapped to 'PhD thesis' in the output. But current English style is to use 'thesis' for Masters degrees and 'dissertation' for doctoral degrees [See the Merriam-Webster Style Manual or even google 'phd thesis or dissertation' for lots of confirmation of this]. As development of a new mkiv module continues, I would suggest changing this to the standard usage. In the meantime: How can I change the label in the current bibliography system? I tried the following (also attached): ======== \starttext \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setupbtxlabeltext [en] [apa:phdthesis={Doctoral dissertation}] \startsetups btx:apa:phdthesis \setvariables[btx:temp][label=Doctoral Dissertation] \btxsetup{btx:apa:common:thesis} \stopsetups \startpublication[k=hamid98, t=phdthesis, a=Hamid, y=1998, s=ISH98] \author[]{Idris Samawi}[I.]{}{Hamid} \title{The Metaphysics and Cosmology of \TeX} \pubname{\TeX\ State University} \pubyear{1998} \stoppublication \placepublications [criterium=all] % inherits from \setuppublications % \completepublications[criterium=cite] % only works with criterium=all \stoptext ======== But the output is still 'PhD thesis'. How do I get the changes in the btx labeltext passed on to ConTeXt so I can get the correct output?

Code that run in Metapost but not in starMPcode enviroment
by DesdeChaves 01 Feb '15

I'm trying to draw some random arrows using Metapost. For that I use a piece of code from fpast that in found at stackexchange <http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/179745/generating-random-arrows-in-t…> Unfortunately this code does not work in context (request for a solution <http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/225864/metapost-error-related-with-c…>) because the freelabel() function. If I disable it the result is the expected. What is wrong with this code? \starttext \startMPcode numeric u, nb_vectors, wd; u := 1cm; % unit length nb_vectors := 20; wd = .5; boolean intersect; pair random_origin; color random_color; path candidate, random_vector[]; % vardef bb(expr p) = save orig, extr; pair orig, extr; orig = point 0 of p; extr = point 1 of p; pair v,w; v = wd*unitvector(extr-orig)*u; w = v rotated 90; (orig - v + w) -- (extr + v + w) -- (extr + v - w) -- (orig - v - w) -- cycle enddef; % pickup pencircle scaled 2bp; i = 1; forever: exitunless (i <= nb_vectors); intersect := false; random_length := u*(2+uniformdeviate(1)); random_angle := uniformdeviate(359); random_origin := u*(uniformdeviate(wd*nb_vectors), uniformdeviate(wd*nb_vectors)); random_color := (uniformdeviate(1), uniformdeviate(1), uniformdeviate(1)); candidate := random_origin -- (random_origin + random_length*dir(random_angle)); j := 1; forever: exitif (j = i) or (intersect = true); if bb(random_vector[j]) intersectiontimes bb(candidate) <> (-1, -1): intersect := true; fi; j := j+1; endfor; if intersect = false: random_vector[i] = candidate; drawarrow candidate withcolor random_color; freelabel(btex $v$ etex, point .5 of candidate, point .5 of candidate + dir (random_angle + 90)); i := i+1; fi; endfor; \stopMPcode \stoptext

More headache with \setuphead
by Rob Heusdens 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Related post: section with \sethupead[section][alternative=text]; other type of section misbehaves.. Hello list, It seems I have more problems with \setuphead, which I can't get hold on. This time content misbehaves in way I can't understand. Here are the relevant definitions/commands: \setuphead[chapter] [header=nomarking, command=\MyChapterCommand, aligntitle=yes, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] \setuphead[content] [command=, textcommand=\MyContentCommand] What I expect this set of definitions to do is to indeed perform \MyChapterCommand for a chapter to typeset the title of a chapter. For the table of contents, I hoped that it would not do the command, which I set for chapter (by clearing that option with =,), and instead perform the textcommand \MyContentCommand. However from my output it is clear that the table of content still does \MyChapterCommand. As a workaround, I postponed setting \setuphead for chapter till after the content. But why does this not work? Even if content is supposedly doing the same thing as chapter does, it I make thereafter changes to content, and in fact "undo" the command setting and instead direct it to perform a textcommand, I don't expect it to still perform \MyChapterCommand. But it does that. Below the definitions for both commands: \define[1]\MyContentCommand% {\framed[frame=off,offset=none,frameoffset=0pt] {\vbox{\blank[4cm]\Word{#1}}}} \define[2]\MyChapterCommand% {\framed[frame=off,offset=none,frameoffset=0pt] {\vbox{\blank[4cm]{\small \headtext{chapter} #1}\blank\unhyphenated{#2}}}} Can anyone advise? Thanks, Rob

Interactive table of content -- jumps always 1 page too far
by Rob Heusdens 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hello list, Having the problem that if I jump to a chapter or section by clicking on the interactive table of content (while the page numbers presented do match the actual page number where the chapter or section begins) always leads me to jumping one page too far. I've tried to produce a MWE, but failed so far, even if I add all the commands and setups which could affect page numbering, it doesn't reproduce the error. I didn't do setting the userpage number by hand. In fact the page number is off by 2 from the real page number, caused by a makeup title page, which does not do page counting (btw. is there a way to force a custom title page makeup to DO count the page number?) and an extra page coming right after it before the table of contents. Setting the right page number on the table of contents page solves that, but clicking an entry in the table of contents still sends me one page too far. Can anyone guid me on where to look or what to try to solve this nasty problem? Thanks. Greetings, Rob
