Hmm. But isn't it wrong to reset a counter who doesn't even exist
with chapter start? Why not do the same check with setnumber?

Re: [NTG-context] bibliography authoryears problem
I should have mentioned that there's a similar problem with refcommand=authoryear (my previous post concerned refcommand=authoryears). Using Mk IV, the first citation is preceded with a new line. Mk II behaves appropriately. And all citations other than the first one are formatted correctly by Mk IV. This is quite similar to the problem I reported with refcommand=authoryears. In both cases, only the first citation is wrong and the error in both cases involves a line break. Perhaps they have a related cause. Happy hunting! mjg Samples are attached.

It's true of course. anyway have you seen http://people.mozilla.com/~jkew/woff/woff-spec-latest.html http://people.mozilla.com/~jkew/woff/ ? I was at guit meeting this year, and Kaveh too, and I have seen his device with TeX. It's really cool: it's not a simple dvi reader, it's a TeX implementation+dvi reader so one can exchange tex snippets with similar devices Next release will use xetex. I have some experience to port pdf in similar devices too (it was 3years ago, too much time ago, really) and in the end I'm convinced that (x)html is still the first choice. -- luigi ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

You're putting the cart before the horse. Sadly, epub is rather lacking in markup capabilities. Instead, one should use a full-fledged markup scheme such as TEI, then one can convert that using an XSLT and add a nicely designed CSS to create a .epub which will be as good as it gets, but unfortunately, won't be as nice to read as a nicely formatted .pdf due to limitations of the H&J capabilities of .epub viewing programs. An excellent example of the limitations of the .epub format in comparison to .pdf is _Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy_: http://people.umass.edu/klement/russell-imp.html William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] windows binaries
Mojca Miklavec wrote: I just wanted to say that texexec.exe itself is also working (if I copy Taco's mtxrun.exe to texexec.exe). I figured out what the problem is ... when i make the zip, i zip a temporary tree. I do that using the -ll switch because when i started distributing the zips it was a demand that line ending should be nice for unix (windows can handle cr and lr, and we probably had no mac os-9 users). However, in a second zip pass, i add the binary files and dll/exe were never part of that. As a result, two bytes got messed up and these made the exe file invalid. So the problem is not related to xp or vista or 64 bit (which was somewhat puzzling for me as windows binaries are normally quite portable). I uploaded a new beta and installing seemd to work ok on xp and vista (virtual machines). The fact that it worked on taco and my machine is that we send binaries to each other. Als, the zip on taco's site was okay.
