[NTG-context] Simple Bibliography
Hi there,
in the attempt to stich together a simple bibliography, I don's seem to
get as far as I'd have liked. The layout of the bibliography should look
something like this:
+--+
| authora: title of book |
| authorb, F.: opus magnum with a rather |
| title and ref. details |
| authord, authore: another important book |
+--+
To achieve this, I'm thinking of something along these lines:
\definedescription[bibitem][
location=left,align=flushright,sample={ longest author},width=broad,
command=\BibCommand]
\def\BibCommand#1{#1:}
\starttext
\chapter{Bibliography}
\bibitem{authora} title of book
\bibitem{authorb, F.} opus magnum with a rather title and ref. details
\bibitem{authord, authore} another important book
\stoptext
Alas, it doesn't work out as expected. Can someone give a few hints
towards a working example? It should compile under MkII too.
Thanks for your help,
Elias

[NTG-context] Question regarding strc-not.mkiv
Hi all,
trying to figure out how postponed notes are processed in MkIV, I'm
wondering when, or indeed, whether the tokens in \everyinsidenoteinsert
and friends are being inserted. The reason for my curiosity is that I'm
to understand why the setting of margindistance has no effect in the
following example:
\setupnote[footnote][location=text,margindistance=0cm]
\starttext
Some\footnote{Very short.} text.
\placenotes[footnote]
\stoptext

In current context it doesn't show any effect.
It does here (updated minimals today) and in MkIV too. Do you have an
example that doesn't work?

[NTG-context] Justifying last line of paragraph
Hi there,
what I'm trying to achieve is splitting a paragraph into two -- from
TeX's point of view -- that still look like one single paragraph. To
this end, I have to make sure that the last line of the first paragraph
is justified just like all the surrounding lines, so, in the pdf output
one couldn't tell that this is actually the end of a paragraph. so, How
can I force the last line to be justified as well?
In order to see the reason for my question, consider the following
example:
\setupwhitespace[big]
\setupalign[line]
\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\placefigure[right][fig:test1]{Basically just a bit of empty space.}
{\framed[width=0.5\textwidth,height=0.4\textheight,offset=none]{Test}}
{\input tufte\par}
\stoptext
The first couple of lines of the paragraph beginning on page two should
really go on the previous page. Since the hang mechanism of \placefigure
doesn't work due to the page break, I'd like to split this paragraph
into two logical entities, so TeX can put the first on the first page
and treat the second as a separate paragraph flowing around the picture.
However, the reader should not be aware of this split.

[NTG-context] Wikifying: footnotes in margin - two questions
Hi all,
when Hans introduced the criterium option to \setupnote in recent betas
of MkIV, he asked me to wikify the problem of typesetting footnotes in
the margin in order to demonstrate the usage of that option. There are,
however, two questions I'd like to settle first. For one thing, the new
algorithm is still error prone as I can provide examples where it fails.
What is the preferred way to point out such a problem (in the wiki or
whereever), so it will be delt with eventually? Secondly, can someone
please explain to me why the example below produces so strikingly
different results when processed with MkII or MkIV? In particular, I'd
like to know why the footnote numbers are placed differently and, unless
this is due to a bug, how to mimic the MkII behaviour in MkIV.
Thanks in advance,
Elias

[NTG-context] Adding supplemental information to entry in list of figures
Hi all,
\nolist{}, I understand, is used in headings and presumably in captions
as well to exclude parts of the heading / caption from the automatically
generated list of contents or floats. Now, my question is what the
canonical way would be to add information to an entry in a list of
figures that doesn't appear in the caption to that figure; indeed, it
might be desirable sometimes to specify the entry in the list of figures
independently of the caption, very much like the LaTeX command
\caption[entry text]{caption text} does.

[NTG-context] Footnote texts mistakenly appearing on page prior to call up
Hi there,
the document attached below produces rather unexpected results. Even
though footnote number 6 is called for on page 3, the associated
footnote text appears on the previous page. Using location=page in the

footnote text does not wrap at the end of the margin but is cut off
instead. This cannot even be prevented by setting
width=\rightmarginwidth in the footnote setup.
Any ideas? (This is with MkIV)

[NTG-context] How to use local setups in selected components of a project only
Hi all,
it has been suggested on this list before, that people should use modes
instead of \localenvironment and friends. Unfortunately, I don't seem to
get either of them working as expected. Consider the following example:
% project.tex
\startproject project
\environment environ
\component compa
\component compb
\stopproject
% environ.tex
\startenvironment environ
% global setups
% ...
\startmode[compa]
\setuphead[section][number=no]
\stopmode
\stopenvironment
% localenv.tex
\startlocalenvironment [compa]
\setuphead[section][number=no]
\stoplocalenvironment
% compa.tex
\startcomponent compa
%\enablemode[compa]
\project project
\localenvironment localenv
\section{First section}
Some text
%\disablemode[compa]
\stopcomponent
% compb.tex
\startcomponent compb
\project project
\section{Second section}
More text
\stopcomponent
Compiling project.tex results in both sections being unnumbered.
Compiling just compb.tex yields the expected result. Apparently, the
setups of localenv stay in effect for all components processed
subsequently.
Commenting out \localenvironment and uncommenting \enablemode /
\disablemode in compa.tex, however, does not solve the problem either:
When I compile just compa.tex, everything works as expected. Compiling
preject.tex, however, results in all sections being numbered. Obviously,
the call to \enablemode comes too late.
What is the recommended approach to such a problem? Do I have to undo
local setups manually at the end of a component?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Elias

Thanks for the snippet. Unfortunately, the footnotes don't seem to make
it onto the page though. Would this be due to using ConTeXt MKII by any
chance? If not, I'd rather not change my current texlive installation
just now.
log-output is attached.
Thanks for your time,
Elias

Ohne direkt auf das Problem eingehen zu können: Wenn du ConTeXt benutzt, installier am besten die Minimals.

Allerdings habe ich das Minimalbeispiel auch einmal im contextgarden online kompilieren lassen, was das gleiche Problem mit sehr ähnlichen log-Meldungen aufgeworfen hat. Es scheint also nicht unbedingt an meiner Installation zu liegen. Vielleicht kann Wolfgang oder jemand anderes sagen, ob dem Minimalbeispiel noch etwas hinzugefügt oder korrigiert werden muss, damit das gewünschte Ergebnis erzielt wird. Wenn ConTeXt sich schließlich als geeignete Lösung erweisen sollte, ist es aber wahrscheinlich eine gute Idee, deine Idee mit paralleler Nutzung von texlive und context minimal aufzugreifen.

[NTG-context] Placing footnotes in right margin en bloc at bottom of page
Hi there, not being a ConTeXt user myself, I have been advised on the tex-d-l list of the German TUG that a certain problem could possibly be solved more easily in ConTeXt than in LaTeX. So, here is what I'm trying to achieve: The numerous but short footnotes of a document shall be placed in the right margin rather than below the main text area. Additionally, though, the footnotes should not be placed near the call up (similar to what \marginpar does), but type set en bloc at the bottom of the page. In other words, the main text area should have fixed margins all round across all pages and the footnotes should be printed in a small rectangular block beside the main text area such that the height of this block varies according to the number of footnotes on the page, but the block is always flushed to the bottom of the page. You'll find an ascii art illustration below. Is such a layout feasible in ConTeXt without too much hassle at all? Regards, Elias =| = =| = =| = = M A I N | = =| = = T E X T | = =| = = A R E A | = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =| = =|-= =|foot-= =|notes= ___ 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 ___
