Why are endnotes not working with ConTeXt-SBL?
by Joel 26 Dec '21

26 Dec '21

I am using the ConTeXt-SBL package for citations. I need to move my footnotes to the end of each article. According to the manual, I can suppress the placement of footnotes using two lines of code. I've added these to my minimal working code, placing \setupnote[footnote][location=none] in the header and \placenotes[footnote] where I want the endnotes to appear. It complains this error: "Undefined control sequence \doifendswithpunctelse" What did I do wrong? --Joel Code follows: \usemodule[publ-imp-sbl] \startbuffer [bib] @Article{na2006, title={Volcanoes \word{of} New Mexico}, year={2006}, journal={New Mexico Earth Matters}, publisher={New Mexico Bureau \word{of} Geology \word{and} Mineral Resources}, volume={6}, number={1}, location={Socorro, New Mexico} } @Book{clark1989, author = {Clark, William}, title = {Railroads \word{and} railroad towns \word{in} New Mexico}, publisher = {New Mexico Magazine}, year = {1989}, address = {Albuquerque, New Mexico}, isbn = {9780937206126} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[bib.buffer] \setupbtx[dataset=default] \usebtxdefinitions[sbl] \setupbtx[sbl] \setupnote[footnote][location=none] \starttext \input knuth \cite[clark1989] \placenotes[footnote] \startchapter[title=Bibliography] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter \stoptext

Errors in source files return success
by Marco Patzer 26 Dec '21

26 Dec '21

Hi! ConTeXt can detect issues in the sources and report them on the console with the argument --errors or with \enabledirectives [logs.errors]. The return value is still “0” (=success) even with errors present. Right now I use a script that parses the log file and lets me know if a run has issues. However, it would be great if context could return a non-zero value if errors are present. I've found that \enabledirectives [logs.errors=missing characters] returns “1” if characters are missing. Lovely! Undefined control sequences always return 1 (a TeX thing I believe and not related to the macro package). But undefined control sequences don't show up on the console as the other errors do if general output (except errors) is silenced e.g. with context --silent --noconsole --nostatistics --errors <file> The question is, what other directives can be enabled that make context return a failure? Is there a way to return failure if *any* error is encountered or do they need to be enabled each individually? And is there a way to show hard TeX errors as undefined control sequences as a “possible issue” if output is silenced? MWE: %% enables logging of errors same as --errors AFAIK \enabledirectives [logs.errors] %% makes context return 1 on missing chars, great! %% \enabledirectives %% [logs.errors=missing characters] \starttext %% missing characters 𝒜 %% missing figure \externalfigure [foo] %% \end occurred inside a group at level 1 %% ### semi simple group … entered at line \startalignment [middle] foo %% missing references See \in{section}[sec:none]. %% undefined control sequence %% \undefined \stoptext Marco

upload
by Hans Hagen 25 Dec '21

25 Dec '21

Hi, When wrapping up before the weekend I uploaded a new lmtx (bottom floats fixed afaiks, but hat mechanism might see some improvements anyway next year; exit codes more reliable; some low level tracing; side float coming loose from section head issue solved; ...). I'm experimenting with some more efficient low level state info and in the process ran into an issue / interference with (also low level) attributes. I'm not sure if I solved it (work in progress, i need to run into another border case first which may take ages) but the test suite runs ok so ...

Re: [NTG-context] upload

Dear Hans, I installed the new upload and compiled “helloWorld.tex” created Sanjoy Mahajan. It runs well except the dummy figures are not appeared in the pdf output. However, I still got error message when try to compile “\startcolumnset … \stopcolumnset”. fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 The terminal process "zsh '-c', 'mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf --purge '/Users/graph/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/texMain/exit11.tex''" terminated with exit code: 1. As you see in the log file, "return code: 11" is changed to “return code: 1”. It might be the problem of system environment as you said. Thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy new year! Best regards, Dalyoung

location=outer causes bad page break in LMTX

Hi! In the following example “Lorem ipsum” sits on an otherwise empty page in LMTX. Output is as expected with MkIV. Has the interface changed or may it be a bug in LMTX? \starttext \null\godown [15.5cm] \samplefile{knuth} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor \startplacefigure [location=outer] \externalfigure \stopplacefigure \samplefile{knuth} \stoptext Marco LMTX 2021.11.26 11:38

Setting table of contents depth by number rather than by list
by Jason Ross 25 Dec '21

25 Dec '21

Dear list, Is it possible to set the maximum table of contents depth to a number rather than providing an explicit list of section names? Background: I am developing an exporter for Org mode. In Org, users can specify the number of levels they want in the table of contents with a number. I currently do this by having the sectioning commands be known to the exporter so I can generate a command like \setupcombinedlist [content] [list={section,subsection}] for n=2. I'm considering using \start/stopsectionlevel for sectioning commands instead. That way, users could add \definesectionlevels to the document preamble to use whatever sectioning scheme they wanted. However, this would mean that the exporter wouldn't know what sectioning commands to use the TOC setup. Thanks, Jason

Why are back-to-back \autocite commands not working in ConTeXt-SBL?
by Joel 24 Dec '21

24 Dec '21

I am using the ConTeXt-SBL module to handle the citations in my article. Using the plain \cite[na2006] command has worked fine. But there are some situations where I want the footnote to include page number details. I tried using \cite[extra=2][na2006], but that doesn't seem compatible with ConTeXt-SBL. I checked the documentation, and if I understand correctly, I should use the autocite command to add page numbers to my citation? Like this: \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006} This solution works in 95% of cases, but when I need to cite another book immediately after that, it throws up errors: This won't compile: \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006} \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{clark1989} This won't compile: \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006}%% \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{clark1989} This also won't compile: \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006}\autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{clark1989} After much trial and error, I found this will compile: \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006} \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{clark1989} The problem with this last example, is if my citations appear within the paragraph, then I end up with a paragraph break in the wrong place! Here is my minimum working example, which won't compile unless I add a blank line between the two citations. \usemodule[publ-imp-sbl] \startbuffer [bib] @Article{na2006, title={Volcanoes \word{of} New Mexico}, year={2006}, journal={New Mexico Earth Matters}, publisher={New Mexico Bureau \word{of} Geology \word{and} Mineral Resources}, volume={6}, number={1}, location={Socorro, New Mexico} } @Book{clark1989, author = {Clark, William}, title = {Railroads \word{and} railroad towns \word{in} New Mexico}, publisher = {New Mexico Magazine}, year = {1989}, address = {Albuquerque, New Mexico}, isbn = {9780937206126} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[bib.buffer] \setupbtx[dataset=default] \usebtxdefinitions[sbl] \setupbtx[sbl] \starttext \autocite[{\loc[2]}][]{na2006} \autocite[{\loc[3]}][]{clark1989} \startchapter[title=Bibliography] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter \stoptext Is the autocite command the wrong tool for what I need? How can I place citations right next to each other, but also include page number information with ConTeXt-SBL? --Joel

Bug in mp-xbox.mpxl (circleit)
by Jacob Kauffmann 24 Dec '21

Hi list, I realized that circleit throws an error. It works fine if I replace boxes_generic_declare by boxes_declare in line 244 in mp-xbox.mpxl rboxit is probably affected as well, but I did not test that.

No pagebreak before chapter
by juh 23 Dec '21

23 Dec '21

Dear all, if I don't want pagebreaks before a chapter, I can do this: \setuphead [chapter,title] [style=\tfb, align=center, number=no, after=, page=no, sectionsegments=chapter, header=empty] In my project this does not work. All chapters start on a new page. What can I do to debug my code? I search for "page=" or "pagebreak" but found no configuration that can cause chapters to insert a pagebreak before. Merry Chrismas to all of you! juh
