We have lines of text that shouldn't be wrapped. If one line must be

there's the potential for wrapping over multiple lines.
I've dug around TeX, LaTeX and ConTeXt, and none appear to support this
yet. So far, ConTeXt has been the most enjoyable to work with, so I'm
okay with a ConTeXt only answer.
How hard will this be to implement? Where should I start looking to
figure out how to do this? I'm hoping for an answer along the lines of
this set of macros will probably be helpful.

tnx in advance,
I now know how to suppress the caption of the combination. By using the

Now I have to generate the captions of the two figures with the correct
numbers and the reference-labels by hand. So my questions:
- How can I increment the figure counter?
- How can I print the current figure number?
- How can I add labels for referencing to the two figures?
- Is there a better approach to do this?
I have two small figures. So I really want them next to each other. It's
a waste of space to put them underneath each other.

[NTG-context] bibmodule: two small questions
I've been playing with Taco's bibmodule, and I'm absolutely thrilled how easy it is to customize things. Once you've groked how things work, you can simply copy code from bibl-apa.tex and modify, it's just wonderful (OT: what does apa stand for in this abbreviation? For me, it's the American Philological Association, but I guess that's not meant here.) I even managed to typeset the numbers of my bibliography flushright in a \hbox and was very proud of myself. Two small questions remain: 1. Is there a general option to have the publicationlist typeset in a smaller font size? The default seems to be the general bodyfont, but I couldn't see where this could be modified. 2. The space between the items does not follow the normal interlinespace, but is fixed to a somewhat smaller value, which looks a bit bizarre. Is there any way to modify this behavior. But these are just cosmetic flaws, overall, the module works wonderfully. Very impressive! Best Thomas ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

I definitely prefer the \ReadFile option. I could not find it (or

What's the difference between these two commands?
Also: given the ConTeXt philosophy, shouldn't there be a non-cryptic

I believe this may depend a bit on your ConTeXt bib module version(s).
The current one looks fine (I think), but I know for a fact that there
have been some problems with older versions, and perhaps they have
not been resolved properly. See the options to \setuplist in texshow,
if you want to tweak the spacing between items, you can use all those
options inside a \setuppublicationlist command.

Re: [NTG-context] bibmodule: two small questions
Thanks Taco!
Actually, the \switchtobodyfont works even with \completepublications.
But the spacing seems to have a problem even in newer versions --I use
the latest and greatest:
TeXExec 5.2.5 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
texexec : TeXExec 5.2.5 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
context : ver: 2005.03.16
cont-en : ver: 2005.03.16 fmt: 2005.3.23 mes: english
Nevertheless, the space between items in the publicationlist is
slightly smaller than between normal lines. You can observe it best if
you set the interlinespace to something like 5ex.
I tried something like
\setuppublicationlist
[after={\vskip2pt}]
but this is just a guesstimate and will have to be adapted when I
change the bodyfont or the interlinespace.
On an unrelated note: A couple of months ago, somebody posted about
problems with cross-references. You supplied a workaround then:
\setbox0\vbox{\placepublications}
\completepublications
This still works, but any chance that the bug will be fixed?
But most importantly: thanks for providing this wonderful tool!
Best
Thomas
