Dear Flavien, This version works — note “dataset=document” and the “document::” in the citation. The clue is in the log: publications > cite > non-existent entry 'batty' in '' publications > no field 'num' for tag 'batty' in dataset ‘' The second big “1” is because \completebtxrendering has an implicit \chapter, but seemingly no default title. Robin \definebtxdataset[document] \usebtxdataset[document][test.bib] \definebtxrendering[document][dataset=document] \setupbtxrendering[document][numbering=yes] \starttext As \cite[document::batty] already indicated, bibtex is a \LATEX||centric program. \completebtxrendering[document] \stoptext > From: Flavien Lambert <petit.lepton(a)gmail.com> > Subject: [NTG-context] bibliography MKiV > > Dear all, I tried to reproduce the example of mkiv-publications.pdf, chapter 10 through: > > \definebtxdataset[document] > \usebtxdataset[document][test.bib] > \definebtxrendering[document] > \setupbtxrendering[document][numbering=yes] > \starttext > \starttext > As \cite[batty] already indicated, bibtex is a \LATEX||centric > program. > \completebtxrendering[document] > \stoptext > > with test.bib as > > @article{batty, > author = 'M.

Stop Hyphenating Across Columns and Page Breaks
by "H. Özoguz" 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Hello, this is still open, maybe its not clear, what the problem ist. I'll try again, my not realistic minexample is this one: \starttext \dorecurse{200}{Aprikosengeschmacksrichtung } \stoptext But what I mean is a feature, which many other typographic programms have, e.g. Adobe Indesign, see here: http://indesignsecrets.com/stop-hyphenating-across-columns-and-page-breaks.… Hyphenation across pages is really ugly and uncomfortable to read, how would you prevent them? Thanks! Huseyin

Height fitting cell contents while using row spanning in other columns of a table
by Maggyero 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

How can I stretch the height of the x cell (in my example) to fit the x cell content? I have tried with extreme tables and natural tables but without success. \starttext With extreme tables (y cell content fitted by default):\crlf \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell[nr=2]\input knuth \stopxcell \startxcell x \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell y \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable With natural tables (no fit):\crlf \startTABLE \NC[nr=2]\input knuth \NC x \NC \NR \NC y \NC \NR \stopTABLE \stoptext

bibliography MKiV

Dear all, I tried to reproduce the example of mkiv-publications.pdf, chapter 10 through: \definebtxdataset[document] \usebtxdataset[document][test.bib] \definebtxrendering[document] \setupbtxrendering[document][numbering=yes] \starttext \starttext As \cite[batty] already indicated, bibtex is a \LATEX||centric program. \completebtxrendering[document] \stoptext with test.bib as @article{batty, author = 'M. Batty', title = 'The size, scale, and shape of cities', journal = 'Science', volume = '319', number = '5864', pages = '769--771', year = '2008' } Unfortunately, the result is two pages, one with As [<num:batty>] already indicated, bibtex is a L A TEX--centric program. and the other with a large 1. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong? My apologies if it is really obvious...

textbackground inside itemize
by Troy Henderson 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

The following code produces a textbackground whose background color enters into the "itemize label" area on the second (and succeeding) lines of the paragraph. I would appreciate advice on fixing this. Thanks, Troy Henderson --- \setuppapersize[letter,landscape][letter,landscape] \definetextbackground[foo][ state=start, location=paragraph, background=color, backgroundcolor={0.875,0.875,0.875}, frame=off ] \starttext \startcolumns[n=2,rule=on] \startitemize[n,2*broad] \item Here is my first item \starttextbackground[foo] Here is some long text that demonstrates how the background color is wrong on the second line and all successive lines of this paragraph. \stoptextbackground \item Here is my second item \stopitemize \stopcolumns \stoptext

documentation
by Yuri Teixeira 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hello, I'm sorry this probably is a dumb question but I'm really lost in my searches. I'm new to context/tex and have been learning/finding information in the wiki at the contextgarden.net for the past couple of weeks. Some of information there don't seem up to date but nothing unusual in an unofficial wiki. For some reason (isp/dns/something) the contextgarden.net has been unavailiable to me since yesterday even though some verification sites show it up and some show it down (http://www.isitdownrightnow.com been one of the later). That got me wondering if there are easy official docs. I've seen the pdfs at pragma-ade.com but the most general ones I tried are from 1999 (ms-cb-en.pdf) and 2001 (cont-eni.pdf). Are these up to date with the current developments? I belive they are compatible but having seen examples of changes in the wiki I a little unsure. Furthermore, the parameter behavior description in the command reference seem a bit... dry. So here's my plea for a little bit more love for the documentation. In any way, thank you very much for an awesome language, I'm glad I researched thoroughly before jumping into latex. YT

Bug in \setupinterlinespace ?
by Otared Kavian 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Does anybody know how to change the interline space in a part of a document? I send again the message below: Hi all, I don’t know how to change the interline space in a chapter. In principle I thought that if at some point I have used for some reason \setupinterlinespace[4.0ex] then saying \setupinterlinespace[reset,small] would reset the interline space to its default value, but this is not the case. The version I am using is: ConTeXt ver: 2014.07.04 15:55 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.7.5 int: english/english Here is a minimal example: %%%% begin bug-interline.tex \setupinterlinespace[4.0ex] \starttext \input knuth.tex \page \setupinterlinespace[reset,small] \input knuth.tex \stoptext %%%% end bug-interline.tex Thanks for your help: OK

underbraces get progressively more misaligned (w/ minimal example)
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Dear list, As I copyedited my book, I noticed examples where the underbraces in math formulas were not aligned vertically, especially toward the end of the book. Eventually I realized it was not due to my growing copyediting skill, and I have made the following minimal example showing the problem (I am using 2014.05.17 MkIV): \setupformulas[indentnext=auto, spacebefore=none, spaceafter=none] \starttext \dorecurse{3000}{ \placeformula\startformula \underbrace{\hbox{yyyy}}_{\rho} = \underbrace{\hbox{yyyy yyyy yyyy}}_{\rho} \stopformula } \stoptext It'll produce a 162-page file. On the formulas on page 1, the two underbraces in each equation are aligned. But there seems to be some kind of slow leak, because the underbraces become ever more misaligned. By page 162, they are visibly misaligned by maybe 3pt. If I increase the recursion count to 30000, on page 2129 the misalignment is about 30pt. Taking out the \placeformula makes the misalignment go away. I tried to reproduce the problem with plain LuaTeX, using the tex file below, but the underbraces came out aligned. \newcount\foo \foo=3000 \loop $$ \underbrace{\hbox{yyyy}}_{\rho} = \underbrace{\hbox{yyyy yyyy yyyy}}_{\rho} $$ \advance \foo -1 \ifnum \foo>0 \repeat \end Any thoughts on this very strange issue? -Sanjoy
