Prevent hyphenation of the last word on a page
by "H. Özoguz" 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hello, how to forbid hyphenation of the last word of page? Such that no word is broken onto two consecutive pages like this: page 1: "Diese Unter-" page 2: "brechung ist unschön." I think the question is clear without minexample. Of course I can use \unhyphenated and things like that, but I would like to set this globally. Thanks! Huseyin

Resizing multi-line fill-in field
by Michael Guravage 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

I am re-posting a previous question. Is it possible to increase the height of a multi-line fill-in field when the cumulative height of the lines typed into it exceeds the field's initial height? Here's an example where the field's initial height in 10em. \usemodule[fields] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupfield [TextSetup] [width=\textwidth, height=10em, background=screen, backgroundscreen=.97, frame=off] \definefield [Block] [text] [TextSetup] [] [What's on your mind?] \starttext \field [Block] [type here] \stoptext I have a situation where the amount of text typed into various fields will vary, but it is inappropriate to reserve a large block of space for each field. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- With kind regards, Michael Guravage

Bibliography: only surname in small caps
by Joshua Krämer 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Dear list, I would like to have in a bibliography only surnames in small capitals, like this: MÜLLER, B. and SCHNEIDER A. (Müller and Schneider appear in small caps, but everything else like "and" is still in the default typeface.) At the moment, I'm using the old bibliography system. I am a bit overwhelmed by the new system, because I would have to setup everything from the beginning, as I have setup my layouts with \setuppublicationlayout. Now my questions are: Is it possible to achieve what I want (SC surnames) with the old and the new system? If I would do it with the old system, am I right that I would have to redefine \normalauthor or define my own authorcommand? How could it be done with the new system? I've tried to understand the file "publ-imp-apa.mkvi", but there's only an "author" value, and I don't understand how to access the name components (first name, last name etc.). Thanks and kind regards, Joshua

Hi Joshua, I suspect it can be done in the old system, albeit by some tricks that are maybe unworthy of ConTeXt. I have not tried using small caps because I use a font that does't have them but I think it would be doable. There a in fact two tricks. The first is to put everything in the "booklet" category and enter everything except author names, year of publication and city (or publisher) in the title. The second is to make a .bbl file and edit that, including ordering small caps where you want them, just as in a normal .tex-file. In your project you input the edited .bbl-file, not the .bib-file. This way you can use all the nice mechanisms of ConTeXt for citing, footnotes and bibliography without having to bother with the tweaking of codes. I have done it this way for my wife's PhD thesis and it works perfectly. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

29 Jun '14

Is 'excursion' manual still mostly relevant for using ConTeXt MkIV & LuaTeX? Any plan to publish some new physical ConTeXt-related book soon? Sincerely, Gour -- Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.

I have tried this on a XP machine, but I got LuaTeX 0.79.1 and context 2013.11.01 (which I had bevor the mtxrun on that machine). I also tried the above command without the --update option. But same result. Wolfgang
