Hi everyone, I finished my thesis, writing both my thesis and my presentation using ConTeXt. Thesis: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam/publications/thesis/thesis.pdf Source: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam/publications/thesis/thesis.tar.gz Presentation: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam/publications/thesis/thesis-presentation.p... Overall it was a pleasant experience, but there were some difficulties. I am summarizing my experience here. Hopefully, others will find it useful. * Layout and Formatting: It was extremely simple to set up the layout and formatting according to the thesis specifications. Due to the ease of changing formatting, I experimented quite a bit with the formatting before settling down to what is in the thesis (The school wanted "nothing fancy"). * Organizing large projects: The product-component structure made it easy to work on single chapters. However, I could not get correct numbering for the components (If I compiled chapter-02, it got numbered 1). In the end, I was just compiling the whole thesis at the time, since it was pretty fast (~10 sec). * Fonts: Using different fonts with MKIV was really easy. For the presentation, I did have some trouble in getting Euler to work with the minimals. Hopefully, this will be corrected soon. * Math: The math alignments worked very nicely, but I had to do a lot of manual tweaking at a lot of places. Also, equations seem to like to have a tendency of starting on a new page. I tried changing penalties for predisplay and postdisplay (which are set to zero), but it invariably led to bad page breaks at other places. At some places, the equation overlapped with the previous material. I am not sure what was causing this (medium interline spacing, wrong calculation of the width of the previous line, or something else). In the end, I simply put a few manual \break[small] here and there. Being able to write unicode math made simplified reading math markup. * Metapost: TeX-MP interaction is fast and easy. However, debugging metapost errors is difficult because context does not stop compiling on encountering a metapost error. * Bibliography. For a large part, the bib module was very easy. In the end, there were a few glitches with the formatting of the bibliography (too title space between entries) which I had to manually correct. (Look for \help inside the bbl file). The bbl file sorted authors with multiple entries incorrectly. If I had authors with four publications in a year, say 2000, the came out as 2000d, 2000c, 2000b, 2000a. I wanted 2000a, 2000b, 2000c, and 2000d, so in the end I just edited the bbl file by hand. There was also problem with maybe year. If I had 2000a and 2000b in the bib file, but only referred to 2000b in the thesis, the year came out as 2000b rather than 2000. For this also, I edited the bbl file by hand. Overall, ConTeXt made writing the thesis fairly easy. I mean the typesetting part of it. For those who are wondering, ConTeXt does not help with the content of the thesis :-) I would like to thank Hans and Taco for providing ConTeXt and everyone on the mailing list for answering my various questions.

congratulations!

impressive and it also looks nice (the large interline spacing even looks ok -)

Overall it was a pleasant experience, but there were some difficulties. I am summarizing my experience here. Hopefully, others will find it useful.

* Layout and Formatting: It was extremely simple to set up the layout and formatting according to the thesis specifications. Due to the ease of changing formatting, I experimented quite a bit with the formatting before settling down to what is in the thesis (The school wanted "nothing fancy").

at least they gave you the freedom to play with fonts

...

* Organizing large projects: The product-component structure made it easy to work on single chapters. However, I could not get correct numbering for the components (If I compiled chapter-02, it got numbered 1). In the end, I was just compiling the whole thesis at the time, since it was pretty fast (~10 sec).

there is a \setuphead[chapter][file=..] option which should do the job (remin dme to implement that in the upcoming mkiv sectioning mechanisms as well)

...

* Fonts: Using different fonts with MKIV was really easy. For the presentation, I did have some trouble in getting Euler to work with the minimals. Hopefully, this will be corrected soon.

indeed; anyhow, your thesis proofs that luatex can be used for real production

...

* Math: The math alignments worked very nicely, but I had to do a lot of manual tweaking at a lot of places. Also, equations seem to like to have a tendency of starting on a new page. I tried changing penalties for predisplay and postdisplay (which are set to zero), but it invariably led to bad page breaks at other places.

in mkiv we can redo the before/after math spacing because there we have the control that we wanted

...

Being able to write unicode math made simplified reading math markup.

* Metapost: TeX-MP interaction is fast and easy. However, debugging metapost errors is difficult because context does not stop compiling on encountering a metapost error.

ok, remind me to implement a 'show error when mp fails' mechanism (we may need a way to trigger tex's error mode then from within luatex then; somethin gis possible now but a bit hackery)

...

* Bibliography. For a large part, the bib module was very easy. In the end, there were a few glitches with the formatting of the bibliography (too title space between entries) which I had to manually correct. (Look for \help inside the bbl file).

The bbl file sorted authors with multiple entries incorrectly. If I had authors with four publications in a year, say 2000, the came out as 2000d, 2000c, 2000b, 2000a. I wanted 2000a, 2000b, 2000c, and 2000d, so in the end I just edited the bbl file by hand.

There was also problem with maybe year. If I had 2000a and 2000b in the bib file, but only referred to 2000b in the thesis, the year came out as 2000b rather than 2000. For this also, I edited the bbl file by hand.

i like the bibliography layout

Wow, that looks very nice! I hope you do not feel I am stealing your thread now (I do not mean to). I did also finish my thesis (in mathematics) recently, written "in ConTeXt". For this I had a lot of help with your doc "Using \startalign and friends", thank you. The thesis is available at http://www.math.chalmers.se/~mickep/mp-thesis-final.pdf and a short presentation of the third paper http://www.math.chalmers.se/~mickep/pres.pdf Some comments: * At our university the thesis should be printed on the (not really standard) G5 paper. No problem in defining and using it with ConTeXt. * The bibliography uses Taco's module. I am happy of being able to have different bibliographies in one file. * As a mathematician I was a bit tired of the computer modern fonts (I really like them, but I see them to often), so I decided to go with the utopia/fourier fonts. This forced me to work with mkii, since I did not get these fonts to work with mkiv (This is still a problem, I am not sure how to go on with it for future documents). * Typesetting math worked very smoothly. There is one place where I hade to add some negative vertical space (I could not reproduce this in a minimal file). * I'm very happy with the way MetaPost and ConTeXt work together. * The presentation is inspired by Thomas A. Schmitz' files at http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-2/schmitz/ (thanks!) * The presentation uses Wolfram's Mathematica fonts which I find being very clear. I will happily continue to use ConTeXt in future projects. /Micke P On Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 6:35 PM, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

I had no idea about this, so I had a look at wikipedia, which says "... G5 (169x239 mm) and E5 (155x220 mm) are popular in Sweden for printing dissertations [1], but the other formats have not turned out to be particularly useful in practice and they have not caught on internationally." This is taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size Personally, I'm not sure I will ever come across it again, but if it doesn't slow down anything I see no reason not to have it there.

From my university installation of these fonts they are only available as type1 fonts (latest version of Mathematica). I found no .otf files in the Mathematica tree at all.

Yes and no. Type1 fonts don't carry enough information about the fonts themselves. Hans sometimes uses afm files instead of tfm, but probably not for math.

1b) Is there a difference with the need of tfm files for opentype/type1/ttf fonts?

OpenType and TrueType fonts don't need tfm files, but for math you still need them. Mojca

looks quite nice, i also like the font size

Thanks. What about getting these fonts to work in mkiv? Must there be some change in the fonts? Some files in ConTeXt? (they were perfectly working in older mkii)

Fourier and Uptopia should work with mkiv. I will check why they are not working at present.

Utopia use "encoding-filename" and MkIV needs the "filename" to load the fonts.

Here is a complete typescript for utopia (without fake slanted and caps style).

Thank you Wolfgang, but this does not work for me with latest minimals. (I have downloaded utopia(+fourier) and they show up in mkii.) I put your lines in a file and add \setupbodyfont[utopia][ec/8r/...] %tried several and also without this last [] \starttext test \stoptext

luatools putr8a.pfb gives the resulting location of the pfb file so it actually finds the font.

Syntax hyghlighting is implemented in different ways for MkII and MkIV, MkII use TeX code while MkIV use Lua code to show the keywords etc. Hans added only files for TeX, MetaPost and Lua in MkIV but you could write files for more languages, you find the rules in the verb-*.lua files.

Hi, Thanks for the pointers. It seems that the syntax-highlighter only need supply "function buffers.visualizers.mp.flush_line_()", which returns a buffer containing the typesetting commands. Will try playing with it. At the moment, I am looking for the feature with \setuptyping[option=commands].

And there is also the vim module. Not quite as effective as built-in highlighting support, but it gives you access to a wide range of programming languages almost for free. Mojca

* Bibliography. For a large part, the bib module was very easy. In the end, there were a few glitches with the formatting of the bibliography (too title space between entries) which I had to manually correct. (Look for \help inside the bbl file).

The bbl file sorted authors with multiple entries incorrectly. If I had authors with four publications in a year, say 2000, the came out as 2000d, 2000c, 2000b, 2000a. I wanted 2000a, 2000b, 2000c, and 2000d, so in the end I just edited the bbl file by hand.

There was also problem with maybe year. If I had 2000a and 2000b in the bib file, but only referred to 2000b in the thesis, the year came out as 2000b rather than 2000. For this also, I edited the bbl file by hand.

Overall, ConTeXt made writing the thesis fairly easy. I mean the typesetting part of it. For those who are wondering, ConTeXt does not help with the content of the thesis :-) I would like to thank Hans and Taco for providing ConTeXt and everyone on the mailing list for answering my various questions.

Sorry for not replying to your earlier message.

If enable the colouring in cite commands in macros.tex I get;

\setupcite [interaction=start, compress=no,color=darkgreen]

The current bib module does not support changing the color of links. The color=darkgreen was a local change that I did in my copy of t-bib. So, color=darkgreen should just be silently ignored. However, compress=no does affect the output of the \cite command but I do not understand why it changes things like like Aumann and Hart (...) instead of (Aumann and Hard, ... ). Can you try to create a minimal example just using the bib module specific setups? Aditya

There was also problem with maybe year. If I had 2000a and 2000b in the bib file, but only referred to 2000b in the thesis, the year came out as 2000b rather than 2000. For this also, I edited the bbl file by hand.

Overall, ConTeXt made writing the thesis fairly easy. I mean the typesetting part of it.

Hi Aditya,

Any news on bib module - t-bib.tex?

Sorry for not replying to your earlier message.

...
If enable the colouring in cite commands in macros.tex I get;

\setupcite [interaction=start, compress=no,color=darkgreen]

The current bib module does not support changing the color of links. The color=darkgreen was a local change that I did in my copy of t-bib. So, color=darkgreen should just be silently ignored. However, compress=no does affect the output of the \cite command but I do not understand why it changes things like like Aumann and Hart (...) instead of (Aumann and Hard, ... ).

Can you try to create a minimal example just using the bib module specific setups?

Obviously I had to move t-bib.tex from the current directory to even get the it compile.

Context minimals are fine. I did not notice before that context-beta was last updated on 2008.11.10. That is almost a month!!! I updated to the latest alpha and there is a bug. If I comment \placeabbreviations in frontmatter.tex, then the entire document compiles fine.

No. We have discussed this extensively in the past. There is also a context-test svn repository with a script that can automatically check if the pdf output changed with different version.

Yeah, I know. This was just a quick change, so I did not bother with elegance. The "proper" way of doing it would be to define a titlecolor and use that.

How are you compiling your files? Use "context thesis" and not "texexec --lua thesis" (texexec will run bibtex which will overwrite the existing bbl file, since you do not have any bib file, the bbl file will be empty). If you are running "context thesis" what happens when your rerun context three times (normally, context should do this on its own, but just to make sure). If none of these help, can you zip all the files and upload them. Aditya

Ah, so that explains why Mohamed is not getting any citations. I was using "latest" minimals from yesterday which still have t-bib from 2008.10.27. Taco, I also have a feature request for the bib module. Currently, \setupcite is defined as \def\dosetupcite[#1][#2]% {\ifsecondargument \def\dodosetupcite##1{\getparameters[\??pv##1][#2]}% \processcommalist[#1]\dodosetupcite \else % default case \getparameters[\??pv\@@citedefault][#1]% \fi } This means that if I say \setupcite[compress=no], this option is only passed to the default cite command. This means that when interaction is enabled, (and the bibl-* file says compress=yes), we get no styles for other cite styles. Does it make sense to add a keyword "all" so that \setupcite[all][...] is equal to \setupcite [author,authoryear,authoryears, year,serial,authornum,page,short,type,doi,url,num] [...] Also, can we add style and color options to \cite. These can be either passed to \setupinteraction in \docite or simply added using attributes in the output of \cite. Mohamed, to get the references to work comment \setupbibtex [database={IEEEfull,../collection}, sort=author] in macros.tex and add \dousepublications[thesis] You can also use the official way: \usepublications[thesis], but I think that this will cause warnings about redefined labels. Perhaps a better way would be to change thesis.bbl to say thesis-ref.bbl and then use \usepublications[thesis-ref]. Aditya

Hi Aditya Are you aware of this using \setupindenting [big,yes] in L 263 env-thesis.tex instead of the default; \setupindenting [medium,yes] results in 'Chapters' in the TOC being indented slightly more than References, Abstract etc. give it a try, you'll notice that it protrudes slightly more than the other entries.
