Re: [NTG-context] Modules how?
Boris Pedrofiets wrote: Looking at the files s-mag-01.tex and mag-.tex from the context distribution I created a file with layout and defs myself. My question: how can I use my-module? Rename the file you made, so the name starts with p- and ends with the extension .tex, like: p-boris.tex Now you can start your documents with \usemodule[boris] Modules normally start with a single letter, followed by a dash. Context first looks for m-boris (a core system module), then p-boris (a user private module), then s-boris (a style module), then x-boris (dunno?), then t-boris (a third-party module), and finally (if nothing else works), in a new context distribution it will try boris.tex. Even if it works, using module names without a prefix is a bad idea, because it is very likely to create clashes with other input file names. Use p-boris.tex for your own files, and t-boris.tex for files you want to share with other people. Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Re: [metapost] MPtoPDF problem
2005/9/30, Mau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi!
I have been using MPtoPDF (included in the MikTeX distribution, under
Win2K) to convert mp output to pdf. Everything went smoothly until
the end of July. Now it seems that MPtoPDF cannot produce any output.
I suspect some problems with a newer version installed automatically
from MiKTex distribution (MPtoPDF 1.3?)
My command line is:
C:\texmf\miktex\bin\mptopdf.exe %n
where %n is a parameter for the name of the mp file I am working on.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks,
Maurizio
Problems confirmed. I used mptopdf in August and it worked at that
time. I last updated ConTeXt (the package containing mptopdf) on 5th
September (version 2005-07-27).
This is the whole output when mptopdf is run for a simple mp file:
---
E:\Tempmptopdf filename
-fmt=mptopdf: unknown option
MPtoPDF 1.3 : filename.* is converted to filename-1.pdf
---
The last statement doesn't hold (no file created at all). filename.1
is OK and mptopdf also works perfectly with the standalone ConTeXt
distribution, but not under MikTeX.
The funny part is also this one (from mptopdf.pl):
if ($miktex) { $command = pdfetex -fmt=mptopdf }
-fmt doesn't seem to exist in MikTeX (any more?). I tried pdfetex
--help, but didn't find any useful switches to compensate for
-progname=context except -alias, but I didn't know how to use it.
I'm a bit lost.
I noticed that the MikTeX package repository was updated in the last
days, so I tried to update the system (for the first time in my life
I've chosen to update only the context.cab since I'm working on
modem), but now the most crucial parts keep crashing (initexmf,
kpsewhich, ...), so I that I can't even work any further and thus
can't check yet if the new package brings any changes or not.

Miktex cannot generate an (e)fmt file of cont-en, con-nl. Last time I upgraded, something was wrong with the English hyphenation files. This time something else must be the matter; even though hyphenation in several languages apparently is not installed. texexec --make nl generates the same problem.

It's the same error as trying to “plot” the MP code

MetaPost is confused since it has no idea what to do with that number
and tells you so. Since MP can handle more than just numbers, you get a
slightly more general error message that talks about an “expression”
rather than a “number.”
What you can do is something like
\starttext
\startusableMPgraphic{sin}
for x := 0 step 0.6282 until 6.282:
drawdot(10*x, 10*sin(x)) withpen pencircle scaled 1pt;
endfor
\stopusableMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{sin}
\stoptext
Or, you can use the fact that in MetaPost you can build up an expression
within a for loop as follows:
\starttext
\startusableMPgraphic{sin}
draw (0,0)
for x := 0 step 0.2 until 6.282: ..(10*x, 10*sin(x)) endfor;
\stopusableMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{sin}
\stoptext
I think it really helps with MP programming to understand this type of
loops.

[NTG-context] bib module: doubling publications list
Dear Taco and gang,
Ok, I'm migrating my journal over to the new bib module (ConTeXt from 8-31).
First issue:
Under some strange circumstances (perhaps if the bbl file and tex file have
the same name?), sometimes the list of publications gets repeated. I cannot
always repeat this though; seems capricious. Here are test files:
=test-bib.tex===
% output=pdf interface=en
\usemodule[bib]
\setuppublications[alternative=apa]
\setuppublications[autohang=yes]
\setuppublications[numbering=no]
\setuppublications[criterium=cite]
\setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]
\input test-bib.bbl
\starttext
\cite[afghani60]
\section{References}{\tfx\setupinterlinespace
{\placepublications}}
\stoptext
==test-bib.bbl==
\startpublication[k=afghani60,
t=book,
a=Afgh\=an\=i,
y=1960,
s=]
\author[]{Sa\high{c}\=id}[]{}{Al-Afgh\=an\=i}
\title{Asw\=aqu \~al-\high{c}Arab f\=i
\~al-J\=ahiliyya\~h wa \~al-Isl\=am}
\pubname{D\=aru \~al-Fikr}
\city{Damascus}
\pubyear{1960}
\stoppublication
If the \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] line is commented, the problem
disappears. If I change the name of the tex file to test-bib-dbl.tex, the
problem disappears.

Re: [NTG-context] \noalign?
Christopher Creutzig wrote: Peter Rolf wrote: how about \TABLEnoalign (see core-tab.tex for defintion) I did try that. But I don't see why it should help. After all, the place I'm trying to do a \noalign is not inside some other \noalign and that's the only thing \TABLEnoalign adds – as far as I read the source. Sorry to hear. I was just browsing through an old table, as I remembered your question. After some reading and testing I have found out, that \AR is the cause of the problem. Your example works with \SR \FR \LR..., but not with \AR. Adding a \TB[] in front of \noalign works, but surely has some unwanted side effects.

[NTG-context] bib module: author-date macros
Here are some macros that I use; I was wondering if the new bib module has a
better way to implement the following, since this sort of thing is used quite
frequently in the author-date system that t-bib defaults to. See the examples
in the following file (three depend on \cite[year] which has a problem--see
previous mail).
I would really appreciate suggestions for improving this-)

[NTG-context] bib module: multiple bibs and alphabetical order
1. Does t-bib now support multiple bibliographies? For past issues of the journal, I had to define a new bib-env file for each article that required a bibliography, otherwise the bibliography of, say, article two would include the bibliography for article one. Is there a general solution for this? 2. Can t-bib extract the references and place them in alphabetical order, or do I have to still organize my bbl files alphabetically by hand (I really hope not-)? Automatic alphabetizing bbl file data in the output has been one of my major wishes for t-bib. If the above two are solved I can use a single master bbl file for the entire journal instead of multiple files, thus streamlinig much of my workflow.

For past issues of the journal, I had to define a new bib-env file for each article that required a bibliography, otherwise the bibliography of, say, article two would include the bibliography for article one. Is there a general solution for this? Just to be clear: What I had to do before was make duplicates of the bib module: m-bib2.tex, m-bib3.tex,..., m-bibn.tex, where n is the number of articles needing bibliographies. Then, for each m-bibn.tex, I replaced each [pubs] with another name like [pubst] (for m-bib2), [pubstt] (for m-bib3), [pubsttf] (for m-bib4), and so forth. (I don't know dutch, but I guessed that \definieerlijst[pubs] was the key list-governing macro-) This was the only way I could get multiple bibliographies in one document. Isn't that just insane?-) Best Idris Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
