inserting additional text into BibTeX cites
by Adam Lindsay 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Hi m-bib users, I might have overlooked this, but how can I insert "arbitrary" text inside a \cite[]? I want to put page numbers inside the occasional citation (for verbatim quotations). I currently cite in authoryears format (Hoekwater, 1999), but for some citations would like to insert text of the form (Hoekwater, 1999, pp. 5--9). Can it be done? What have I ignored? Thanks, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

example math files for testing
by Otared Kavian 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Hi Adam, Hi Hans, Following the last week's discussions, and Hans' suggestion, I prepared two example files named math-knuth.tex math-stein.tex for testing math characters and text. They can be found at http://homepage.mac.com/otared/FileSharing3.html If you think you need more of such files please let me know. Also if I can suggest something, I didn't find a command "\showmathfunctions" like "\showmathcharacters", the one which shows all the predefined characters used in typesetting mathematics. Would it be possible to define such a "\showmathfunctions" command? If I can be of any help I'll do my best... Regards: OK

different titles in toc
by Hraban 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Hello again! I got trouble with the editor of the book I'm working on: The chapters have titles and subtitles, but in the t.o.c. must be something other than at the chapter beginning and in the header. e.g. ToC: Preface by Mister Miller Chapter: Preface\crlf A stupid text Header: Preface I know \nomarking and \nolist, but is there a "\listonly" or like that?

Subpagenumbers

Hi Hans, Referring to my mail of yesterday night: The command \numberofsubpages is an unknown controlsequence, where \aantalsubpaginas works without problem. This looks like a missing link to the english interface...? Thanks for looking into this. Willi

Pagenumbers
by Willi Egger 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hi all, I have a large document with different chapters. At each chapter the pagenumbering is reset. (\setuppagenumgering[way=bychapter]) Now I would like to display also the total number of pages of each chapter e.g. Page 5 of 9. Is there a simple way to have Context to calculate these 'subtotals'? I tried to use \totalnumberofpages, but then I get the total number of pages of the whole document, which is not influenced by setting up the pagenumbering [bychapter] Willi

[Fwd: Turkish language issues with ConTeXt]
by Tobias Burnus 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hello, can someone help him? I have not much time at the moment. Please CC him since he may not yet be on the list. (I reduced a bit the number of attached files, you miss those: > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Name: il5hyp.dvi > il5hyp.dvi Type: TeX DVI Data (application/x-dvi) > Encoding: base64 > > Name: il5hyp.tex > il5hyp.tex Type: TeX Document (application/x-tex) > Encoding: quoted-printable > > Name: latex-hyp.dvi > latex-hyp.dvi Type: TeX DVI Data (application/x-dvi) > Encoding: base64 > > Name: latex-hyp.tex > latex-hyp.tex Type: TeX Document (application/x-tex) > Encoding: quoted-printable) Tobias -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Turkish language issues with ConTeXt Date: Sat, 1 Feb 2003 08:48:10 +0200 From: Alper Ersoy <dirt(a)gtk.org> To: Tobias Burnus <tobias.burnus(a)physik.fu-berlin.de> Hello Tobias, A few days ago I have installed ConTeXt and since then I am consistently trying to achieve the \usepackage{ae} % calls \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin5]{inputenc} effect known from LaTeX. Since it is doable in LaTeX, I am positive that it is also doable in ConTeXt, I just do not know how yet. I have composed two TeX files for ConTeXt to address the input encoding issue. (Those files are regi-il5.tex and enco-il5.tex.) With regi-il5.tex I am able to type accented characters without any problems, if you disregard hyphenation. When hyphenation is taken into account, I am completely lost. Not that the words with accented characters are completely unhyphenated, but only some of them are. I am attaching my regi-il5.tex and a test file (and its DVI form, to save you from tinkering with your setup just to see the problems I describe below). Please note that I have tried many variations of both the macro I call (such as \definecharacter, etc.), and the way I type the substituted accents (\c c vs. \ccedilla). Here are the problems: - Even though the hyphenation for a\u{g}ra is correct, I cannot redefine it using ð (\u{g} in Latin5 encoding). I can redefine it using \u{g}, but then I lose all of its hyphenation. - Words which have one of \i (dotless i) or \.I characters are not hyphenated at all. This is most problematic in the second column of the sample text. - Some of the hyphenations are wrong. For example da-\u{g}-lar, it should be da\u{g}-lar. Similarly ta-\c{s}-lar should be ta\c{s}-lar. Also \c{c}o-rap\c{c}\i should have an hyphen before the second ccedilla (though I have an intuition that it is due to the right syllable being short, can it be?). I am also attaching a similar file for LaTeX (again, with related DVI output). Please notice how words containing dotless i characters are correctly hyphenated. Since ConTeXt and LaTeX share the same hyphenation patterns, I cannot see why they are generating different outputs. From texexec's output: language : patterns 2:2-tr-2 3:2-tr-2 4:2-en-2 5:2-uk-2 6:2-de-2 2-fr-2 9:2-it-2 2-nl-2 loaded Possible clash with hyphenation pattern files? Or do I have to explicitly state that I want tr hyphenation in my test file? (tr is the default language.) What can be the source of my problems? I am willing to provide you any information regarding my TeX/ConTeXt/LaTeX setup you may need. Once I have all going, I will send everything to Hans Hagen to be included in the future ConTeXt releases. By the way, I am a total newbie with TeX. This can be the source of all my problems ;) Also, tomorrow is my birthday, so I am looking forward to seeing a few presents, such as a fix ;) Thanks. Regards, PS. In one of Hans Hagen's earlier messages to ntg-context list (dated around 1998), he mentions your name as the language guru, that is why I am sending this to you. Also I am having problems with the address I used when subscribing to ntg-context list, and I do not want to delay my ConTeXt adventure anymore. I hope I am not being rude. -- Alper Ersoy

Presentations in context: Is there a reference manual?
by Luis Miguel Pires Neves 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hi! Is there any reference manual for doing presentations with context? I only got art-pres.pdf but it doesn't give many details. What is the purpose of \presentationstep? My first attempts using context didn't show great diferences with and without this command. Is it possible to define timings for automatic transitions between slides? Best regards, Luís Neves

missing Dstroke & dstroke
by Gour 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

I'm slowly getting into using DocBookInContext module for producing PDF output out of DocBook sources. One problem which I encountered is that I cannot get proper characters for two Croatian national letters: Dstroke & dstroke which are rendered as "D" & "d" and I see in mfonts.pdf (Fonts in ConTeXt) manual on p. 22nd that these chars are also not properly rendered. Is it some missing feature in ConTeXt since I remember that similar thing was present with LaTeX and it required some special *.sty file since those two characters cannot be handled like the rest of TeX accents? Any hint? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493
