Bibliography entries not showing up
by Christian 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Dear list, I would like to use ConTeXt (MKIV) for typesetting my thesis. So I tried a lot of the features and I'm really impressed by the flexibility and so far more than satisfied with the results. Now I obviously need a bibliography and tried to get it working today. But whatever I tried, I can't seem to get the entries to show up in the pdf. Setup: Win 7 32bit LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.2-2010100221 (MiKTeX 2.9) (rev 3736) ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV Main file (example.mkiv): \setupbibtex[database=example] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \starttext Test \completepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext Bib file (borrowed from another recent topic - hope you don't mind, example.bib) : @BOOK{daunerliebkonzenschmidt, author = {Peter Schlechtriem and Horst Konzen}, } @BOOK{schlechtriemschmidtkessel, author = {Peter Schlechtriem and Horst Konzen and Karsten Schmidt}, } Generated bbl file (example.bbl): \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={SKS},totalnumber=2] \startpublication[k=daunerliebkonzenschmidt,t=book, a={{Schlechtriem},{Konzen}},y=, n=1,s=SK] \author[]{Peter}[P.]{}{Schlechtriem} \author[]{Horst}[H.]{}{Konzen} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=schlechtriemschmidtkessel,t=book, a={{Schlechtriem},{}},y=, n=2,s=SKS] \author[]{Peter}[P.]{}{Schlechtriem} \author[]{Horst}[H.]{}{Konzen} \author[]{Karsten}[K.]{}{Schmidt} \stoppublication Output and log file attached. What's wrong here? Also, if anybody thinks mkiv is not ready for productive work, please scream and stop me. But as far as I've heard it has been used to typeset books and theses already, so... yeah.

Flowfram-like behavior?
by Peter Davis 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Is there a way to get behavior like flowfram using ConTeXt? Specifically, I mean the ability to define a set of "frames" or boxes, possibly several on a page or across a series of pages, and have the text automatically flow from one box to another in a prescribed order? I'm interested in doing InDesign-like layouts, which might have multiple "stories", each of which can flow across multiple frames on multiple pages. Using flowfram with LaTeX comes pretty close (though only one story can flow from frame to frame), but there are conflicts with the longtable package and potentially others. I figured since one of the goals of ConTeXt (as I understand it) was to avoid inter-package conflicts, perhaps this would offer a better solution. Thank you. -pd -- ---- The Tech Curmudgeon http://www.techcurmudgeon.com

unicode: math: ʹ U+02B9 MODIFIER LETTER PRIME not displayed and U+2032 PRIME and \prime not displayed correctly

Thanks, Paul

Heading Font Size and Figures in Headings
by H. Hodges 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

What is the \setuphead option to set font size? I have some small icons that I would like to place on the same line as some of my section titles. I would also like these icons to appear in the table of contents.The code I'm using: \section{\placefigure[force]{none}{\externalfigure[timers]}Timers}. I cannot get the placement correct. Instead of being aligned with and to the left of the section title, the figure appears centered on the page a couple of lines above it, in both the text body and the table of contents. I've tried other options besides [force]: [left], [here], [line], the result is always the same.

How to get the chapter number
by Cecil Westerhof 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

At the moment I have the following in my document: In the chapters 7 to 12 a more in depth description of the functionalities will be given. For this document it is not a real problem. (I do not expect the chapter structure to change often.) But it would be nicer to get the chapter numbers auto generated. Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

Centred Figure
by Kip Warner 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hey list, I'd like to place a figure on its own page, landscaped, horizontally and vertically centred, and uniformly scaled to the maximum dimensions of the page, whichever hits it first, the width or height of the figure. I'd like to do this within, say, 95% of the page width and height. This is what I am using so far and it works fine, except the image is not horizontally / vertically centred, and it is not uniformly scaled to the max boundary as I previously described. % Insert a full page landscape diagram, parameters are node name, caption, and path... \def\FullPageLandscapeDiagram#1#2#3% { \page \setuppapersize[diagram] \setuplayout[fullpage] \placefigure [force][figure:#1] {#2} {\externalfigure[#3][factor=max]} \page \setuppapersize[main] \setuplayout[reset] } ... \FullPageLandscapeDiagram {NodeName} {Some caption.} {Figure.svg} -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

How to override the print resolution
by Cecil Westerhof 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

When using \externalfigure it uses the print resolution for putting the graphic into the document. Until now all my graphics had a resolution of 300x300, but I just got one with a much lower one, which blew up in my document. I just set the print resolution to 300x300 and everything is fine again, but is there a way to override the printer resolution? -- Cecil Westerhof

Changing the colors of a button
by Cecil Westerhof 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

I am trying the following: \button[backgroundcolor=darkgray,framecolor=black,framecorner=round]{Go Back}[PreviousJump] The parameter framecolor works (I tried it with green). Framecorner works also, but backgroundcolor not. How can I change the background and text color of the button? Also would it not be better when clicking on this button, the highlighting also works with rounded corners? -- Cecil Westerhof

I have read it, but there is no answer of my question. I know, that I can use "columns" instead of "columnset". It is not in my interest to find other solutions for this Problem, rather I wish to know: is it possible to use different numbers of columns on the same page if I use columnset! > It?s either \startcolumns[n=2] or \startcolumnset[your_name_of_setup] > > > bla bla bla > > \column > > \column works only within columnsets > > > bla bla bla > > \stopcolumn > > \startcolumns ... \stopcolumns > XOR > \startcolumnset ... \stopcolumnset > > > > > b) text text text text > > > > The mixing of a) and columnset is o.k. > > > > The mixing of columnset and b) wil produce a new page with b) on the > > second page, where b) can be normal text or another columnset. > > > That doesn?t answer your question, though...
