[OT] Book complete and thank you
by Kip Warner 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Friends, I have completed my book typeset using ConTeXt[1]. I'd like to extend my gratitude to this list for the many questions answered. In particular, I'd like to thank in no particular order Hans Hagen, Luigi Scarso, Wolfgang Schuster, Mojca Miklavec, and Taco Hoekwater. I'd also like to thank Adam Reviczky for his help in preparing debs for ConTeXt. <https://www.avaneya.com/#!/content/downloads/handbook.html> Without these peoples' help, it would have been more difficult to develop my project. Take care, -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Hi, Is there any dissertation/high-school diploma style for Context? I'm sure if there any, I can adapt it to Ukrainian standards (dstu 3008-95). Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Devanagari in Siddhanta font with Context m-iv
by Shree Devi Kumar 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Thanks for your reply. I am using a goodies file for coloring the accents. I am attaching that as well as a MWE tex file and resulting pdf. Chandas is not fully unicode compliant for some of the accents which are encoded in PUA, hence I would like to use Siddhanta which I understand is a completely redesigned version of Chandas fully compartible with Vedic Unicode Fonts are available from: Siddhanta: http://svayambhava.org/index.php/en/fonts Chandas: http://www.sanskritweb.net/cakram/ Thanks, Shree Devi Am 07.12.2013 um 15:21 schrieb Shree Devi Kumar <shreeshrii at gmail.com <http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context>>: >* I am converting some ITRANS documents with vedic accents to devanagari pdf files using Context.

Understanding the basics of \define
by Pavel Stupin 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hello: I'm struggling with understanding the way \define is supposed to work. I would like to have a macros to generate tables and populate them with some specific data submitted as arguments. I apologize for my lack of understanding of the very basics, but e.g. the following code just doesn't compile: \define[1]\mytable{ \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell #1 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable} \mytable{abc} I would appreciate your help and maybe some references to read (if any) in order to educate myself. Kind regards, Pavel.

incrementing counters in tables
by Jannik Voges 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Dear ConTeXt-Users, I want to use counters in tables. But incrementing counters in tables doesn’t work as expected. For example, when I typeset the following example, I get numbers between 80 and 119, I would expect numbers between 0 and 39. How can I get the desired numbers? \definenumber[test] \starttext \bTABLE \dorecurse{8}{ \bTR \dorecurse{5}{\bTD \rawcountervalue[test]\incrementnumber[test] \eTD} \eTR } \eTABLE \stoptext Thanks Jannik Voges

[OT] Type:Rider
by Flavien Lambert 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Dear all, I am pretty sure that some of you are fond of typography so I dared to make you aware of a really beautiful game running on phones and tablets dedicated to typography. Called Type:Rider, it is composed of several chapters, each dealing with a period of time illustrating the main techniques, fonts and design ideas. The game is really well done in terms of picture and music, the character being two dots evolving on letters from the main font of the time with background extracted from well-known art scenes. Best regards, Flavien.

Adding a space between multiple years from same authors
by Steffen Kram 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hi, I’m using the apa-de style. When my citation includes publications from the same authors, then using \cite[authorFirstRef,authorSecondRef] or \cite[authoryear][authorFirstRef,authorSecondRef] will not include Spaces between the years, e.g. \cite[Dyer:2012ts,Dyer:2012hy,Dyer:2013te] => … (Dyer et al., 2012a,2012b,2013a) \cite[authoryear][Dyer:2012ts,Dyer:2012hy,Dyer:2013te] => … Dyer et al. (2012a,2012b,2013a) How can I accomplish that the years are separated by comma and space: => … Dyer et al. (2012a, 2012b, 2013a) I already played with the setupcite command and peeked at the source code but could not find the right place or an idea how to change this. Seems like setupcite has not option and this is somewhere buried deep in the compact-layout code. Any ideas? Cheers, Steffen

Russian language support in ConTeXt
by Pavel Stupin 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hello: I would like to use ConTeXt for typesetting the documents in Russian. I used it about 10 years ago and it worked just fine. Much has been changed since then, however, and it doesn't work out-of-box while the only howto I've been able to find (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian) seems to be outdated as none of the examples works with the latest ConTeXt. Could someone please explain me what I need to set up the program accordingly. I would appreciate your help a lot. Kind regards, Pavel.

by Shree Devi Kumar 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

I am converting some ITRANS documents with vedic accents to devanagari pdf files using Context. I tried both Chandas and Siddhanta fonts with it, I would prefer to use Siddhanta but in some cases the display is not coming correctly. eg. स॒र्वार्थ॑ in स॒र्व॒म॒ङ्ग॒लमा॒ङ्गल्ये॑ शि॒वे स॒र्वार्थ॑ साधिके। शर॑ण्ये त्र्यम्ब॑के दे॒वि॒ ना॒राय॑णि न॒मोऽस्तु॑ ते॥ does not display correctly when using Siddhanta font but it display correctly in Chandas. Please let me know if you need more details. Thanks, Shree
