Extract bib entries used in a document
by Benjamin Buchmuller 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

I was wondering if there is a way to get the internal bibliography manager to write out a .bib (or XML or Lua table) containing only the entries used in a document? Somewhat similar to BibTeX (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41821/creating-bib-file-containing-…) I guess it must be internally created, but I don't see, at least from the manual, a command like \exportbtxdataset[default][way=bytext][used_references.bib]. Two use cases: (1) Sharing a clean bib file with someone. (2) Merging bib files from different sources based on the document. (Or even by chapter.) Thanks for your reply. Benjamin

Problem with chapter numbering
by Fabrice Couvreur 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

Hi, For my book, the header for each chapter should be like the attached image. I don't know if I am using the best method, but the result looks like what I want. Nevertheless, I am having a problem. I don't understand why the first chapter is not numbered while the second is with number 1 etc. Thanks.

A not so short introduction to ConTeXt - French version - progress report.
by Garulfo 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Hi all, concerning the fr version of "not so short introduction to ConTeXt" I have just finished an attempt to reorganise the content. It is in "fr2" directory in the Github repository https://github.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to-context It results from many many "copy/paste". I still have to review all the pages and flow between each section … (and after to switch to the french interface of ConTeXt commands …). New Table of Content Part 1 - source code basics ------------------------------------------- - source file - syntax - file organization Part 2 - Markup ------------------------------------------------------- - Chapter 2.1 - Main information flow Mostly linear flow From micro to more "structured + macro" items - Paragraphes - Emphase de mots - Emphase de paragraphes - Encadrement - Lignes et traits - Citations - Listes structurées - Description et énumération - Textes tabulés - Tableaux - Images et Combinaisons - Objets flottants - Sections - Macro-structure - Page de couverture et de titre - Mathématiques - Colonnes - Autres éléments spécialisés - Chapter 2.2 - Complements to the main information flow Much less linear, it brings links, connexions - Table des matières - Abréviations et glossaire - Notes de bas de page - Notes marginales - Pièces jointes - Références internes - Références externes - Références bibliographiques - Listes des images, tableaux... - Index Part 3 - Typesetting "overall" --------------------------------- - Page layout - En-tête et pied de page - Polices - Couleurs - Langue - Interactivité Part 4 - Typesetting "specific" --------------------------------- - mirror of Part 2 3 principles for this new organization : 1/ clearly split "markup" and "typesetting/formatting" in order to - help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas - deal with the markup (part 2) in as few as possible pages - <60 pages - one topic = 1 or 2 pages - no - prepare user to use env files - limit digression as much as possible 2/ clearly split "main flow" and "complements to main flow" in order to - again help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas - highlight the fact that complements are usually used to enrich the main flow with "non-linearity" 3/ clearly split "general/global" and "specific/local" typesettings in order to - again help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas - prepare user to organise his env files You can find a one page summary here : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-t… The 8 following pages provide a quick visual overview of the 28 topics that will be detailed in "part 2" and "part 4". Links help the reader to go on the associated pages (markup or typesetting) Any comment or idea is welcome.

Proper ligatures in Malayalam
by Ajith R 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Hi, I tried to make a document in Malayalam, an Indian language. However, the ligatures don't form as expected. A minimal example is \mainlanguage[ml] \definefontfamily [malayalam] [ss] [Rachana] [features=malayalam-one] \definefontfeature[default] [mode=node,kern=yes, liga=yes,tlig=yes, ccmp=yes,language=dflt, protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \setupbodyfont [malayalam] \starttext അദ്ധ്യായം \stoptext What setting am I missing? The expected form is show in libre office with the same text and font, attached as an image The sequence of Malayalam characters used is U+0D05 U+0D26 U+0D4D U+0D27 U+0D4DU+0D2F U+0D3E U+0D2F U+0D02 Thanks, ajith

Re: [NTG-context] weekend upload - stacking and animation

Dear Hans, Aditya, Now, I understand the stacking method. I made a simple animation using it. \startuseMPgraphic{demo} for i=1 upto 10: draw fullcircle scaled (.3*i*cm) withcolor (.1*i*red) withpen pencircle scaled (.5*bp) withstacking i; endfor; \stopuseMPgraphic \setupinteraction[state=start] \usemodule[animation] \starttext \startanimation[menu=yes] % \dorecurse{10} % { {\useMPgraphic[stacking={#1}]{demo}}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={1}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={2}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={3}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={4}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={5}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={6}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={7}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={8}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={9}]{demo}} {\useMPgraphic[stacking={10}]{demo}} \stopanimation \stoptext However, I cannot succeed to use \dorecurse to make the code simple. If there is another good method, please let me know. Anyway, thanks for this new feature! Best regards, Dalyoung

Dear Aditya, > You cannot use [offset=2mm] here. Just use \startuseMPgraphic{boxes}. > After remove [offset=smm], it is working well. Thank you for the solution. Best regards, Dalyoung
