Very. I'm glad to find someone who knows about the bibliography module,
since discussion and documentation seems to be scant.
The aforementioned bibmod-doc.pdf file by Taco is the best
documentation I've found, though it's a little out of date. But it's
worth reading to get the idea of how ConTeXt interacts with BibTeX.
As you say, discussion is a little scant too. I'm a user with a fairly
limited understanding of the bibliography system, but I try to do what
I can with bibliography questions if nobody else is answering.
I'm afraid I don't have good answers to any of your questions, but as
to URLs I can at least tell you what I do:
(3) I'd like any entry in the BibTeX database that has a url to have the
title clickable such that the browser is invoked to that url. Which
brings me to the next question.
(4) Since my database is specified in the .bib format, what is the
preferred way of specifying a URL where there is one? I've seen a bunch
of different suggestions ranging from using the 'note' tag to wrapping
in a \def.
Here's a sample entry from my PhD bibliography:
% TODO is there a better way to cite a webpage?
@manual{acton2011zplotit,
author = {Acton, Gary},
title = {{ZPLOTIT} Software Users' Guide, version 2011-01},
year = {2011},
address =
{\hyphenatedurl{http://paleomag.ucdavis.edu/software-Zplotit.html}},
note = {Retrieved 1 February 2011}
}
... as the TODO shows, I don't consider this a perfect solution :-).
With APA style, this produces an acceptable-looking entry, although
semantically ‘address’ is probably the wrong key for the URL.
\hyphenatedurl allows the url to be split nicely, but doesn't make it
clickable; for that the tricks detailed at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/url should work. I'd guess that
something like
address = {\useURL[dummy][http://www.example.com]\from[dummy]}
should make a clickable bibliography URL.

[NTG-context] Bibliography problem
Hello,
Here's a long-standing problem I have with BibTeX databases in ConTeXt
Mk IV (I'm currently using version 2011.10.01). If there are multiple
publications with the same authors and year, they get suffixes a, b,
etc. as is usually expected in bibliographies. Unfortunately these
suffixes appear even if only one of the works is actually cited.
Minimal example:
== test.bib ==
@book{book2,
title = {The second book},
author = {Ann Author},
year = {2000},
}
@book{book1,
title = {The first book},
author = {Ann Author},
year = {2000},
}
== test.tex ==
\setupbibtex[database={test},sort=author]
\setuppublications[sorttype=bbl,refcommand=authoryear]
\starttext
% \cite[book1] % uncomment to demonstrate ordering problem
\cite[book2]
\placepublications[criterium=text]

This gives a citation of Author (2000a) despite there being no Author
(2000b). A related problem is that even when both suffixes are used,
they are applied in the order of the original .bib file rather than in
the order of the typeset bibliography. So if \cite[book1] is
uncommented in the above example, the bibliography contains Author
(2000b) followed by Author (2000a).
I'm guessing that problem is that the whole BibTeX file is processed
into ConTeXt's \startpublication...stoppublication syntax, not just
the cited works. I can't see a way around the this, other than
creating a custom .bib file for each document with the problematic
entries removed or re-ordered. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt-- does it make sense for my needs?
Welcome to ConTeXt! I'm a relatively new user so my answers will be brief and partial, but I'm sure others will be able to expand on them. On Tue 13 Dec 2011, Chris Lott wrote: 1) My work is primarily in the humanities and end-user technologies, with small amounts of coding. So mathematics isn't an issue. I do a fair amount of highly academic writing (aka: many sections, citations [handling this in a sensible way is really important], footnotes) with the occasional need for charts, graphs, and photos. In other words, I'm not doing the kind of layout one might associate with InDesign or the like. I also write many paper letters (personal), poetry, fiction, essays, and the like. This looks to me like a good use case for ConTeXt. I've used it for a 380-page dissertation with the full complement of academic paraphernalia: footnotes, appendices, table of figures, citations etc. which all worked well for me. I believe that many others are using it for similar work. 2) That said, I (obviously) have a keen interest in typography, and that includes wanting to use some particular typefaces... I've paid good money for many of them, so why not? I've found ConTeXt to be more pleasant than LaTeX for setting up the layout and typography according to my wishes. (When I used LaTeX I generally just went with the default layout and accepted that things would be a little ugly.) ConTeXt is also good about letting you use your own typefaces -- particularly if they're in OpenType format. 3) PDF is my primary medium of exchange, though I would like to efficiently exchange docs with colleagues, which might mean getting them into something they can open with their beloved Microsoft Word... is there an RTF output for ConTeXt? this isn't super-high on my list, but it would be nice. 4) How about X/HTML? this is my lowest level need but, again, it would be nice. I know that ConTeXt supports direct XHTML output but I'm not sure how mature it is -- I think someone else will be able to provide a more complete answer to this. So, do you think ConTeXt makes more sense than LaTeX? And *what* is the deal with xetex? It seems to be the easiest way for accessing all my fonts, but it also hasn't been updated for years and, since it is tied to an old version of ConTeXt (as far as I can tell) it doesn't seem like much of a winner. In short, there are two versions of ConTeXt: Mk II (stable, and frozen for some time now) and Mk IV (actively developed, new betas more than once a month). Mk II can use pdftex or xetex as the engine; Mk IV uses luatex, which provides the ‘it just works’ font handling of xetex alongside a number of other features (chiefly the integration of the lua scripting language). Despite the worries that may be occasionaed by the word ‘beta’, Mk IV is pretty stable and definitely the recommended option these days. Hope this helps!

We can already have different mapping sets so spacing could be part of that.

Spacing for almost all SI units should be the same and doesn't need special cases. 2. Geographical degrees/minutes/seconds should have no spaces. 3. Spacing for degrees temperature varies according to different style guides -- both before and after the ° -- so ideally it would be possible to set these independently of the rest of the units. For my own part I would add: 4. SI unit abbreviations are mostly capital letters, and look (to me) strange with old-style figures. I have seen books which used old-style figures for page numbers, years, etc. but switched to lining figures when a unit was involved; this is also what I did in my thesis.

ConTeXt, and then never add punctuation after \insertarttitle .
2. A quick google turned up a similar question and answer at

That message presents two magical pieces of hackery which are claimed
to do the job, but I haven't tried them and don't understand them.
My own solution in your situation was to ignore it and hope that my

[NTG-context] Float placement problem

2011.02.25 to 2011.09.20, and I'm now having some trouble with float
placement. I'm using MkIV. I'm trying to have figures protruding into

Here is my minimal example:
\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}]
\setupfloat[figure][location=inner]
\showframe
\starttext
% An extra page. \page[yes]
\dorecurse{4}{
\placefigure[]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]}}
\stoptext
With version 2011.02.25 this produces the desired result; with
2011.09.20, the first figure is placed correctly, and all subsequent
figures protrude in the same direction, whether they're on an even or
odd page. So in the given example they all protrude to the right. If
an extra page is inserted at the start so that the first figure is on
an even page, they all protrude to the left.
Does anyone have any ideas or insights?

I've figured out what the problem was: the \setupcite only affects the
default authoryear citation style, so if using authoryears (or any
others) they need to be explicitly specified. Changing the \setupcite to
\setupcite[authoryear,authoryears][interaction=start,compress=no]
makes links work for authoryears citations as well. In this case only
the author and year are linkified, not the parentheses or page

I am trying to get references working with Context as well as it did

It's true that bibliography documentation can be hard to find. The best
source is the manual at http://modules.contextgarden.net/bibman ,
but it is not entirely up to date.
In the following I'm going to assume that you're using MkIV.
\usemodule[bib]
\usemodule[bibltx]
These are unnecessary. The bib module has been integrated into the
core. The bibltx module used to define a \newcommand command for
compatibility with some old LaTeX databases, but I don't think it even
exists any more. Unless you use \newcommand in your bib file, this
should not be a problem.
Here's a minimal example which should do what you want:
---8---
\setupbibtex[database=sample,sort=author]
\setuppublications[alternative=apa-fr,sorttype=bbl,refcommand=authoryear]
\setupinteraction[state=start,color=darkgreen,style=normal]
\setupcite[interaction=start,compress=no]
\def\pagecite[#1][#2]%
{(\cite[alternative=authoryear,left={},inbetween={ },extras={, p. #2}][#1]}
\starttext
\cite[alternative=authoryears,inbetween={ },extras={, p. 3}][Eijkhout1991]
\pagecite[Eijkhout1991][3]
\page[yes]
\placepublications[criterium=text]
\stoptext
---8---
This uses ConTeXt's included sample bib file. I'm sure this used
to be found automatically in the ConTeXt tree, but in this case I had
to copy it into the same directory as the TeX file for it to be found.
You can find it in /tex/texmf-context/tex/context/bib/sample.bib .
You will see that I use two cite commands. The first is probably the
‘more correct’ way to do it, using the authoryears style. However,
this doesn't seem to produce a hyperlink, at least on my version of
ConTeXt (from February 2011). I suspect that this may be a bug. The
second cite (wrapped in a macro for convenience) modifies the
authoryear style instead, which (at least with my setup) does produce
a hyperlink.
Hope this helps!

[NTG-context] Automatic landscape figure rotation
Dear ConTeXters, I have a full-page, landscape figure in my double-sided document which I rotate 90° to fit the page.

Is there a simple way to do this automatically in ConTeXt? At the moment I just check where the figure ends up, then change it manually.

Well, there *is* more than one way to represent ä in UTF-8, but it's
my understanding that anything beyond ASCII is simply not supported by
BibTeX. You can get away with it in fields that just get pasted
verbatim into the output (usually), but the first three letters of the
first author's name are used to construct the key (which is why
‘Schräger’ worked) so there's no way around using the officially
sanctioned {\a} form.
unfortunately, I'm using Mendeley Desktop for the management of my
bibtex file and I can't seem to be able to influence the way in
which it encodes the special characters.
This is one reason why I still use plain emacs as a bibliography
manager -- sooner or later you need a hack, and that's harder when the
raw BibTeX is hidden or generated. In this case you may need to
put the hack between Mendeley and BibTeX: pipe the file through
‘sed -e 's/ä/{\\a}/g'’ or something similar. And/or ask in the Mendeley
support forums, since this is a fairly well-known BibTeX ‘feature’
so perhaps someone else has had to deal with it there.

Re: [NTG-context] Punctuation in bibliography

if you add a line

to the bibtex entry you can see this.
I think this can be fixed in
context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/bib/bibl-apa.tex by changing
this function:
\setuppublicationlayout[booklet]{%
\insertauthors{}{ }{\insertthekey{}{. }{}}%
\insertpubyear{(}{). }{}%
\inserttitle{\bgroup }{\egroup \insertseries{ (}{)}{}. }{}%
\insertedition{ }{ edition.}{}%
\insertpublisher{ }{.}{.}%
\insertpages{}{p. }{}%
\insertnote{ }{.}{}%

Alter the following line --
\insertpublisher{ }{.}{.}%
to
\insertpublisher{ }{.}{}%
-- then I think you'll need to remake the formats (see
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Remaking_formats ).

The best way is to install the minimals; it's a complete stand-alone ConTeXt system that can go anywhere (including your home directory), so you don't risk any complex interactions with existing TeX installations.

Re: [NTG-context] [garden] captcha: zip-code of Hasselt?

From [1] I inferred that it would be the string “8061GH”, which was promptly rejected -- the next quiz proved to be easier and I finally won another wiki commit. Nevertheless I’d appreciate this mystery to be solved ;-) I've been caught by this too -- I googled the answer but evidently it was wrong (I forget what my attempted answer was). The answer should be 8061. I have changed the question and made it clear that four digits are requested. I am happy to add a better question that should be obvious to ConTeXt users. At the risk of kicking off a huge thread... how about ‘What is usually the last command in a ConTeXt source file (without the backslash)?’ Anyone who has got as far as ‘Hello World’ should manage that one.

Hmm, good point. It seems to work with several \mainlanguage settings
I've tried: en, fr, nl, sv, fi, cs, ru, de. But it fails for uk and
en-gb.
I think I've got somewhere with this: Wolfgang's workaround seems to
fail when used with a language that has a ‘default’ parameter in the
\installlanguage command (see lang-def.mkiv). So en and de are fine,
but en-us, en-gb, de-at, de-ch etc. fail. My workaround was simply
to define a custom language from scratch without using ‘default’:
\installlanguage
[mylang]

leftsentence=---,
rightsentence=---,
leftsubsentence=---,
rightsubsentence=---,

Re: [NTG-context] OT: drawing graphs: Asymptote, Gnuplot, MetaFun, …
On Mon 18 Apr 2011, Paul Menzel wrote: I only have little experience using Gnuplot and I have never used Asymptote or MetaFun. These three seem to be well integrated with ConTeXt and I guess in the end I could just create the image files and include these in to my ConTeXt source. If you don't mind using external figures, I personally would recommend matplotlib (as used to create the example you linked to) -- in which case you already have an example script for your graph :-). The annotation and labelling facilities are extensive (see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/annotation_demo2.html ) and there is ample documentation. I used to be a happy Gnuplot user, but I find that with matplotlib the easy things are just as easy, the hard things are easier, and some of the impossible things become possible. I did give MetaFun a try before turning to matplotlib, but I found it quite difficult to work with. That's strictly related to my personal requirements and taste though -- there are many satisfied MetaFun users on this list (and thus good support) and of course it is very well integrated with ConTeXt. Asymptote looks nice but I've never tried it. I think there have been some issues with ConTeXt integration in the past (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/54389 ) but am unsure of the current state.
