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

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!

Both your responses help me out. Could you explain your snippet of code? I don't quite know what the \penalty50 means. I know TeX applies a penalty to each line, but I'm confused if the penalty is for fitting the line horizontally or vertically, or both. I know what vskip does, but I'm not sure about the other commands, or the strategy. Incidently, I do very much want code that acts on titles for sections and subsections. That is my exact problem right now. I believe that ConTeXt will generally handle widows if they just occur in a regular paragraph. Hans provided a very useful tidbit in \testpage[24pt], but I'm not sure if I should use this in a macro. I have never written a macro in TeX before. I was hoping I would not have to write macros, but maybe I should just learn the basics? I guess there is a section on macros in the big manual.

Re: [NTG-context] bibmodule: two small questions
Stefano,
thanks for the reply. This command has a very weird behavior: when I
set it to
\placepublications[before={\setupwhitespace[0pt]}]
I still get too little whitespace between items. When I set it to any
value, like
\placepublications[before={\setupwhitespace[.1pt]}]
I get a blank of approx. half a line. But I can't achieve what I want:
exactly the same interlinespace within items and between items. So it
must be something hidden somewhere in the macros.
All best

[NTG-context] bibmodule requests
I have been using the bibmodule for a couple of weeks now, and it works
great! ... but, I have run into some situations that are not considered.
(1) It would be nice to visually distinguish the cited author using a
different font or style in the text. I was able to add \c!authorstyle to
\setupcite and make changes to the appropriate areas in the t-bib.tex
module. I suppose I could also add a \c!yearstyle as well to allow for old
style figures. In my case, I set \c!authorstyle={\em}
(2) Another situation arises when dealing with multiple references from the
same author in the same year. The years have a lower case letter added,
such as 1995a, 1995b, 1995c, etc.
For example, let's say I have three entries:
article1 ... 1995a
article2 ... 1995b
article3 ... 1995c
These entries are labelled a,b,c when using BibTeX to process the .bib file
to the .bbl file. Unfortunately, the .bbl file contains all entries, since
the .aux file contains the line \citation{*}. If I cite article2 and
article3 in my document, the publication list uses 1995b and 1995c and my
citations use the same years, and doesn't start with 'a'. The only way I
have found to remedy this situation is to create a .bbl file that only
contains the BibTeX entries which I have cited. These cited entries are
listed in the .tui file that texexec creates. Unfortunately, the .tui file
requires the entire .bbl file in order to list the entries cited ... so I
have devised the following process ...
step 1) run BibTeX using an .aux file that contains the line \citation{*}
step 2) run texexec document --once (this creates .tui with the list of
cited entries)
step 3) rename the .aux to ._au file
step 4) use the ._au and .tui files to create a new .aux which only lists
the entries cited instead of \citation{*} ... for example ...
\citation{Smith2001}
\citation{Jones1995}
\citation{Smith1999}
... etc.
step 5) run BibTeX again ... this will create a .bbl which only contains the
cited entries, ensuring that the years are labelled correctly i.e. 1995a,
1995b, etc.
step 6) run texexec document to create the final document
Is there any consideration to having .aux file created by texexec based on
the entries cited in the document? I ended up creating a batch file to do
this so it's not really an issue for me. Is there a better way to do this?
(3) Another issue I found is when using the
\cite[year][label1,label2,label3,etc.] and I have years such as 1995a,
1995b, 1995c, etc. only one of those years is listed, while if I use
\cite[author] or \cite[authoryear] or \cite[authoryears], all the required
years are listed. Unfortunately, the grouped years are not in order i.e.
1995b before 1995a, but it looks like this depends on the ordering of the
labels.
(4) Another issue is with regards to the author names in the publication
list. The first author is typically inverted (last name before first name),
but all subsequent authors are normal (first name before last name) ... for
example ... Smith, A.B, C.D. Jones, E.J. Doe, and J.T. Morgan ... The use of
author styles such as \normalauthor \invertedshortauthor, etc. applies to
the entire list of authors. Is there any way to specify one style for the
first author and a different style for the second and subsequent authors?
(5) Is it possible to have additional annotations with a citation? For
example, if I want to refer to page 27 from Smith et al., I would have
(Smith et al., 1995a, p. 27). Another possibility is to have (e.g. Smith et
al., 1995a, p.27). I suppose I could blank out the brackets in \setupcite
and do the following ... (e.g. \cite[smith1995], p.27) or create a custom
\def such as
\def\Cite[#1][#2][#3]{(#1 \cite[#2], #3)} and use it as such ...
\Cite[e.g.][smith1995][p. 27]
Any information is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Stefano

[NTG-context] Problem with the bib module (yeah, so what else is new)
OK, another one of those hey, the bib module has an issue-kind of
mails. The problem is that \bibdoif and its relatives don't work.
They always evaluate to true. I have tried to figure out why this is
so, but I'm just not good enough at reading TeX macros (yet). The main
problem is that I want to do something like this for my
\setuppublicationlist:
\doglobal\newif\ifBIBLoutputbeforesurname
\global\BIBLoutputbeforesurnamefalse
\def\BIBLwholename#1#2#3#4#5%
{\bibdoif{#1}{#1\unskip\bibalternative\c!firstnamesep\BIBLoutputbeforesurnametrue}%
\bibdoif{#4}{#4\unskip\bibalternative\c!firstnamesep\BIBLoutputbeforesurnametrue}%
\bibdoif{#2}{#2\unskip\bibalternative\c!vonsep\BIBLoutputbeforesurnametrue}%
\ifBIBLoutputbeforesurname \else
\unskip%
\BIBLoutputbeforesurnamefalse%
\fi
#3\bibalternative\c!surnamesep%
\bibdoif{#5}{#5\unskip}}
The problem is that one can't have
\author[]{}[]{}{Organization}
without extra spaces appearing before the Organization. Another issue is that
extra spaces occur between the first and last name in the \normalauthor
style,

[NTG-context] \typebuffer with typing name
Hi everybody, please consider:
---
\definetyping[TEX]
\setuptyping[TEX][option=TEX]
\starttext
\startbuffer[A]
\somemacro[bla][obla=vbla]
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[A]
\stoptext
---
It works perfectly. I would like to type buffer with options for typing,
e.g.
\typebuffer[A][TEX]
but the second param is ignored. It seems to me, the definition of
\typebuffer is preprepared for that, but not finnished.
Or is there some solution that I omitted?
(It is not crutial since I solved it by calling
\typefile[TEX][]{\jobname-A.tmp}
)
Thanks

Hi Gerben,
If you need to add more than one parameter to one option then use {...}
% \setupexternalfigures [\c!gebied={e:/fig/eps,t:/mine/figs}]

[NTG-context] Re: good-looking tables in context
Hi Eckhart, - There are rules of different thickness for top, bottom, and middle rules. [...] One day I hacked my own code around some tabulate material to get this (rulethickness) done. I whish this feature would be in the kernel. I sometimes do heavy tabulate typesetting. This is one of the last reasons using LaTeX for me. Sorry of not being of any help.

actually it's
\testpage[noflines][dimensions]
normally you will indeed use a value of 5 or 6 (whitespacee + title of two lines
+ whitespace + first line of paragraph)
i don't know how you place titles, but why not:
\definesection[mytitle][subsubsubsubsubject]
\mytitle{...}
because that takes care of most situations

[NTG-context] Beginnner's question: fumbling with font finding failures.
Dear ConTeXters, I'm a newcomer to ConTeXt and to this congenial and obviously active list: please bear with me and read my story. I'll be much more succinct in future. Last week, I installed TeTex and ConTeXt [Mac OS X 10.3 Panther]. I'm working my way through the Excursion and This Way/ My Way documents. They are great documents, ConTeXt is a great package, and I've had some timely tips from Hans Hagen (Hail thee, Hans!). I've made some good progress. I have learned the difference between a _Hasselter juffer_ and a _Hasselter bitter_, but I'm still not sure what one does with a _foekepot_. I suspect that it's a percussion instrument, but that's beside the point. I have a history of user-level LaTeX formatting in my distant past. I've mostly been stuck in the dark, ragged, dreary, world of MS Office for the past decade, so you can understand my joy to see beautiful, colourful .pdf pages rolling up my screen, as a result of typing straightforward, comprehensible formatting commands in a plain text ascii file. As my fellow Australians would say: ** You little ripper! ** Now, I've managed to side-step some menacing signs of absent fonts as I progressed. My goals are straightforward (technical documentation and scientific writing), so I've been happy to accept the font fallback/replacement routines. Further, my glimpses into the pages and pages of information about font handling make me think that it's a kind of bad neighbourhood for a person like me to enter, just as it was when TeX and I were young. But now I've struck the following blockade in my quest to produce a 'My Way' document, which I did by simply 1) cutting and pasting the source code from the page 3 of My Way #0 [mag-.pdf] 2) changing the author name, and 3) saving the resultant text as [mwy-000-Test.tex], then 4) running the perl texexec script on it. OK, don't snicker, it may not be such a silly thing to try. I'm sure there are other people who might try this kind of approach. Here is the gist of the result -- ellipses mark my deletions. --START--- [nvri-hayden:~/Documents/ConTEXt/MyWay] paulm% texexec --color --pdf mwy-000-Test TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 ... system : macros of module mag-01 loaded ...

BTW I typed 'Q' in response to the input file name request above]. Now, it's obvious from the ContextGarden that I've probably missed some step in font configuration. But when I start to look in the numerous sources of advice, I strike the usual frustration. There are lots of statements (lots and lots of 'em!) about checking and un-commenting and configuring, but I can find no list of *prioritised* things for beginners to try, in the order which they should be tried, in order to solve what looks to be a simple and typical problem. Without such a set of instructions, I'm loath to change anything in my configuration, for fear that the cure might be worse than the disease. I'd love to try to understand the source of the error, and how to handle fonts professionally, and lots of other things as well. But I'm a busy scientist with many other commitments. As long as ConText is working I'm happy, but I can't devote much time to delving into errors. So I may not be a typical participant in this list. But if you help me, you will help to make ConTeXt more accessible to others like me, and this will be good for the cause, _nes pas?_ I'd be happy to write a my way document or contribute a Wiki page on this topic to encapsulate any good advice for myself and other neophytes.

[NTG-context] presentation in ConTeXt
Hi all, It is my first mail to this list. I am using XeTeX and XeTeX + ConTeXt environment for my most files for sometime. It worked fine and the output is really great. I'd like to use it to create a presentation instead of using LaTeX + beamer. I have seen many output samples of the presentation styles like s-pre-#.tex. But I didn't find how to use it in the ConTeXt manual. Recently, I googled and found some files for presentation including Hraban's source, but I didn't succeed. I try to compile it in the pure ConTeXt environment, texexec --pdf project_pdf-info.tex and got some error messages. . bodyfont: bodyfont 16pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont: bodyfont 16pt is defined (can better be done global) system : macros of module chart loaded (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/m-chart.tex XML : loading flowchart support )) systems : end file env_pdf-info at line 3 systems : begin file prd_grundlagen at line 46 (./prd_grundlagen.tex !

Actually, no! Both your responses help me out.
Could you explain your snippet of code? I don't quite know what
the \penalty50 means.
Penalty works for both vertical and horizontal mode.
Penalty is place where a break can occure (with some panalization).
Border values have these meanings:
\penalty1 = \nobreak,
\penalty-1 = force \break,
\penalty0 = neutral value (same penalty as \par or space)
But, forget my 'solution', next example shows it does not work in
ConTeXt (glues and penalty are not discarded at the top of next page).
And in addition it has to cooperate with output routine (needs
\raggedbotom).
Actually, Hans's \testpage is based on another trick (as I look up, it
is defined by comparing \pagegoal and \pagetotal registers) and it is
more general.
