[NTG-context] Promotion of the ConTeXt IRC channel
Hi, I was wandering if we should promote the ConTeXt IRC channel on the contextgarden home page, e.g. underneath “Welcome to ConTeXt garden” or “External Help”. The current page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/IRC) is unlikely to be found by anyone. I think most questions should stay on the mailing list, since I consider the mailing list almost as “the second ConTeXt manual” and it can easily be searched, in contrast to IRC. At the moment the channel is dead, which is probably due to the fact that no one knows of its existence. But it might turn into a valuable source of information, e.g. regarding installation problems for which the mailing list might not be as suitable.

After all, people who encounter an empty channel will simply turn around and leave it. But if there are people there, (perhaps not always but usually at time X,) it's a good idea, I think. If your main intention is to increase the number of regulars, I think canvassing on this mailing list will be a more effective strategy.

If I get you right, you think that the IRC will receive problem solutions that the mailing list will miss. That's a valid point I had in mind, as well. With another channel the information will be spread out even more, which might not be desirable.

[NTG-context] Ugly Bibliography layout ...
Hi @all,
I'm writing my Bachelor thesis with ConTeXt and now I have a strage Problem
with the bibliography. I'm using a resend version on context and MKIV:
| ConTeXt ver: 2012.09.06 23:03 MKIV fmt: 2012.9.7 int: english/english
My layoutfile has these settings:
| \setupbibtex
| [database={thesis}, sort=author]
| \setuppublications
| [alternative=ams, numbering=short, refcommand=short]
You can have a look at the result here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2721576/ugly_bib_1.pdf
If I add this additional setup
| \setuppublicationlist
| [samplesize={XX}]
I get this result:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2721576/ugly_bib_2.pdf
How do I get a nice biblist with the reverences aligned left and some space
between the reverences and the entry?

[NTG-context] Problem with codelistings and linenumbers
Hi @all,
I'm trying to put some codelistings into my ConTeXt file, but I don't get
line numbers. Im using a resend version of ConTeXt:
| ConTeXt ver: 2012.09.06 23:03 MKIV fmt: 2012.9.7 int: english/english
Here is the setup for my code environment:
| \definefloat [listing] [listings]
| \setupfloat [listing] [topframe=on, bottomframe=on]
| \setupheadtext [listings=Quellcodelistings]
|
| \defineblank [aroundcode] [medium]
| \definetyping [code]
| \setuptyping [code]
| [option=color, bodyfont=8.0pt, margin=yes,
| before={\blank[aroundcode]\startlinenumbering},
| after={\blank[aroundcode]\stoplinenumbering}]
And here is an example, how I use it. I place it into a floating environment
so I can have a nice Listion of my code sippets with \completelistoflistings.
| \placelisting [here] [lst:bb]
| {Beispiel eines bitbake Rezeptes (zlib_1.2.7.bb)}
| {\startcode
| SUMMARY = Zlib Compression Library
| DESCRIPTION = Zlib is a general-purpose, patent-free, lossless data \

| }
|
| do_compile (){
| oe_runmake
| }
|
| do_install() {
| oe_runmake DESTDIR = ${D} install
| }
| \stopcode}
You can have a look at the result here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2721576/code.pdf
Besides the lack of the linenumbers you may notice the slightly bigger
space between the top line and the code and the bottom line and the code.
At the moment I'm adding the line numbers by hand ...

There are different ways to create a hyperlink to a website, e.g.

\goto{NASA}[url(http://www.nasa.gov)]

BTW: Use another name to show the full text for your acronyms (e.g.
\fullacronym) because \infull
is used to show the text of the predefined \abbreviation command.

Re: [NTG-context] Promotion of the ConTeXt IRC channel
I have bots running in #latex and #context that allows users to test LaTeX, MetaPost, and ConTeXt code in real time and have a URL generated for the output of their code (or a log file of the compilation process if their code fails to compile). I also keep logs of these rooms, and these logs can be searchable. I could easily make my logs available for the website if it is deemed appropriate.

Re: [NTG-context] Promotion of the ConTeXt IRC channel
hi Sietse, there are normally about 5-10 users online regularly, including me and Troy, but it would be nice to meet more users there, as a fast help is easier accomplished via IRC then ML but right ML is nice for a searchable help and as Marco said a secondary helpsystem... That channel was designed as a meetingpoint and should have been handed to ConTeXt by the owners but ConTeXt itself never asked for it and so the topic is still there as an unofficial ConTeXt source, that helped me many times :) So I think your idea about a regularly discussion on there concerning a special topic would be nice, but even having more users there and helping ppl the fast chatway would even be better and nicer too and as I can speak for me myself it is also nice to stay conected and build friendships easier in IRC then ML... :) Greetings Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz ___ 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 ___
