context --autopdf
by Henning Hraban Ramm 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Ahoi, usually I call context with "&& open myfile.pdf" on OSX, but only today I discovered the --autopdf option. Unfortunately it tries to call sumatra with wine, which doesn’t make a lot of sense for me (it’s very slow, and while I have wine installed, not sumatra). The options seem to be "auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra". --autopdf=auto calls "open" (i.e. open with the default application, which is Acrobat). Same as my usual solution, which is nice enough. --autopdf=default calls "pdfopen" which is installed with the other TeX binaries (didn’t know that either), but that tries to call acrobat via X11, which doesn’t make sense. Where is this configurable, and can I add other options like Preview.app? Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

With the current beta, stacking of margin notes doesn’t work any more. (It was never perfect, but good enough.) MWE: \setuplayout[ backspace=60mm, width=100mm, margin=50mm, ] \setupmargindata[inmargin][stack=yes,style=\tfx] % or stack=continue \starttext %\showlayout \input tufte \inmargin{ \input knuth } \input zapf \inmargin{ \input knuth } \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

colorizing pictures
by Henning Hraban Ramm 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

\externalfigure has a "color" parameter. It used to be possible to colorize greyscale pictures with that, but it doesn’t work any more: %%% \setupcolors[state=start] \setupexternalfigures[ location={local,global,default}, ] \starttext \externalfigure[img/minidodo_g][width=.3\textwidth,color=red] % greyscale \externalfigure[img/minidodo_b][width=.3\textwidth,color=green] % bitmap \externalfigure[cow][width=.3\textwidth,color=blue] % vector \stoptext %%% Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

sorttype option not recognized in setupbtxrendering
by Romain Diss 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

Hi, It seems that the 'sorttype' option is not recognized in '\setupbtxrendering'. I tried all the different values (page 25 in mkiv-publications.pdf) but nothing changes. The log files suggests that the option is not read correctly. For example : % test-biblio.tex \usebtxdataset[biblio.bib] \setupbtxrendering[sorttype=index] \startdocument \startchapter[title=First chapter] \input ward \cite[ward,knuth]\blank \placelistofpublications \stopchapter \stopdocument % end % biblio.bib @book{knuth, title = "Title", author = "Knuth", publisher = "Publisher", year = "2019", } @book{ward, title = "Title", author = "Ward", publisher = "Publisher", year = "2019", } % end give the following line in the log file : publications > list > collecting entries using method 'global' and sort order 'default' Thanks for the help. -- Romain Diss

Bibliography : wrong order of references when rendered by chapter
by Romain Diss 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Hi, I try to use multiple renderings to place a bibliography list at the end of each chapters. I use the option 'criterium=chapter' to place the bibliography and i also use the options 'repeat=yes,method=local' because I want each chapter to have its own bibliography with an independant numbering (starting from 1 for each chapter). However, it doesn't wwork as expected. When a reference that exists in a previous chapter appears again in another one, the ordering is broken (I tried th option 'continue=no' but I don't know what it does). I don't know if it's very clear so here's a minimal 'non' working example (in the second chapter, ward reference should be numbered 1 and knuth should be 2, following the order of appearence in the bibliography list): % mnwe.tex \usebtxdataset[biblio.bib] \setupbtxrendering [repeat=yes, continue=no, method=local] \startdocument \startchapter[title=First chapter] \input knuth \cite[knuth]\blank \placelistofpublications[criterium=chapter] \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Second chapter] \input ward \cite[ward,knuth]\blank \placelistofpublications[criterium=chapter] \stopchapter \stopdocument % end % biblio.bib @book{knuth, title = "Title", author = "Knuth", publisher = "Publisher", year = "2019", } @book{ward, title = "Title", author = "Ward", publisher = "Publisher", year = "2019", } % end Thank you for your help. Best. -- Romain Diss

by Jan U. Hasecke 16 Mar '19

16 Mar '19

Dear all, with your kind help I was able to establish an inhouse workflow to produce print material for my hosting cooperative Hostsharing. We are going to use ConTeXt for flyers, writing pads, business cards, posters and published documents such as sustainability reports. Many thanks to all who supported me in this mailing list. Being still a novice in ConTeXt I am going to blog about our experiences starting today with this post. https://www.hasecke.eu/post/werbemittel-mit-context-gestalten/ The text is in German only. I hope to find the time to write an English version in the near future. If anyone of you is visiting the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage this weekend join us at our Hostsharing booth to see the printed results. Our booth is not far away from the DANTE booth. https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2019/de/programm/live Thanks a lot and a happy weekend juh -- Hostsharing eG – die Hosting-Genossenschaft Souveränität – Nachhaltigkeit – Exzellenz https://www.hostsharing.net
