Hi Pablo,
This works, thank you very much. 
I had tried several fonts mentioned on the ConTeX-wiki in the chapter "Using 
Math fonts in MkIV" but TeX Gyre Termes Math is not mentioned there. But 
actually it is [mm] that does the trick and I had not realized that. 
Even then several of the Math fonts mentioned did not work.

Thanks again. 

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Hans,
Thanks for your reaction. Unfortunately it has not helped me for I have no idea 
how to set the parameter \Umathquad\textstyle. Just loading the fonts, as I 
believed you suggest in your mail, does not change anything: the compilation 
with a 2017 mkiv still stops at  “ 7~$\xrightarrow[none]$~6 progression ”.
However, when I use the older font calls, 
 \usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Verdana]  
it compiles correctly files containing arrows ( $\xrightarrow[none]$ )  with 
the pre-2017 mkiv's . With my 2017 mkiv it still compiles correctly albeit not 
with the specified font but with latinmodern-math.otf. (Btw, I found the same 
behaviour for other fonts, such as: dejavu, times, palatino, bonum, lucidanova, 
lucida, garamond, libertine, gentium, xits, courier, and cambria.)  

For me the simplest solution would be to keep working with pre-2017 standalones 
for documents that contain these arrows (for musical tone- or 
chord-progressions )
But it intrigues me why some process that worked perfectly in many generations 
of mkiv has suddenly stopped working in the recent mkiv's. 

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

It does help but for the Law of the Conservation of Trouble (or Misery)

Having properly changed my font setup  ConTeXt stumbles upon things like:

“ 7~$\xrightarrow[none]$~6 progression ” 

The error message is:  " ! Ma error: parameter \Umathquad\textstyle is not set."

How and where can I remedy this? 

Thanks in advance  for any advice.

[NTG-context] Problem with setup for fonts

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all,
I’ve been “out of ConTeXt” for a few months. In the meantime some things seem 
to have changed quite a bit.
My present task is to handle the typesetting of the revision, for an external 
publisher, of my wife’s PhD thesis. I stumbled on a problem with fonts.

I can typeset the book in its present version and the revised chapters with 
mkiv versions till mid 2016. The version I recently installed, on 23-08-2017, 
does not recognize the setups for the font selection anymore.
The MWE below shows the problem.
The older mkiv’s give Verdana, the present version  some different font, 
probably the default TeX font.
The same happens, m.m., when I replace Verdana with, for example, dejavu.

%++MWE+++
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Verdana]
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
%\setupinterlinespace[line=18pt]

\definebodyfontenvironment[10pt][interlinespace=19pt]
\definebodyfontenvironment[9pt]%[interlinespace=16pt]
\definebodyfontenvironment[8pt]

\setupindenting[yes,20pt]%,next]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]


\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext

%%+++%% 

So clearly these commands do not work anymore.
I experimented a bit with information on wiki.contextgarden.net but without 
success.

Can someone help me out here?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] Chapter-head: number, title and subtitle

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all, 

This is  the upper half of a post I submitted on jan 7 with two questions 
(which was rather foolish of me), of which the second has already been answered 
by Aditya Mahajan. 
The first, still open, question was: 

Presently I’m restyling a PhD-dissertation to make it conform to the 
requirements of an external publisher.
One of the items is the content and layout of the chapter-heads.
What would be needed as a chapter-head, of Chapter 1 for instance, is, on two 
or, occasionally three, lines:

- Chapter 1  (midaligned, boldface, smallish size (\tfa))
- some vertical space
- Chapter title (midaligned, SmallCaps, slanted, \tfc)
- some vertical space
- (for some chapters) Chapter subtitle, (midaligned, SmallCaps, slanted, \tfb 
or smaller)

Can ConTeXt be tweaked to yield such a chapter-head?

Thanks in advance for any advice. 
Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] Chapter-subtitle and a short version of a( long) chapter title to fit in the header

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all, 

Presently I’m restyling a PhD-dissertation to make it conform to the 
requirements of an external publisher.

One of the items is the form of the chapter-heads.
What would be needed on the first page of a chapter, Chapter 1 for instance, is:
 
- Chapter 1  (midaligned, boldface, smallish size (\tfa))
- some vertical space
- Chapter title (midaligned, SmallCaps, slanted, \tfc)
- some vertical space
- (for some chapters) Chapter subtitle, (midaligned, SmallCaps, slanted, \tfb 
or smaller)

Furthermore I would need a header with the chapter-title on the even-numbered 
pages and the section-title on the odd-numbered pages.
The problem here is that some of the chapter titles are too long for this and 
they overlap the pagenumbers in the header. 
That is why I would need a shorter form of the chapter title and in some cases 
a main title and a subtitle.

As far as I know, in the command to start a chapter there is no possibility to 
introduce, in addition to the special version of the title for the ToC, another 
special, shorter, version of the title for the header.   nor a subtitle. 

I use:

\startchapter[bookmark=,list={Accompaniment in the 16th and 17th century and 
the development of BC},marking=,reference=ch:HistDevel,title={Accompaniment in 
the sixteenth and seventeenth century and the development of basso 
continuo}]%[a=a,b=b]

For the headertexts I use what I found on  
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers and it works quite well:

 %%%
\setupheadertexts[]
\setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}]

\startsetups[text a]
  \rlap{\sc \getmarking[section]}
  \hfill
  \llap{\pagenumber}
\stopsetups

\startsetups[text b]
  \rlap{\pagenumber}
  \hfill
  \llap{\sc \getmarking[chapter]}
\stopsetups
%%%

So my main problem is that I need, in the command \startchapter, a third form 
for the chapter title to fit in the header and a compatible version of the 
setup for the headertexts.

I did try to extract that from the ConTeXt wiki but I soon got lost.

Thanks  in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

Thanks Hans, for your quick reaction.

Maybe my question was not clear enough but in any case your remedy does not 
help me.
I have adapted your MWE containing the remedy a bit to make the problem a bit 
more obvious:

%%
\setinjector[register][3][\column]
\setinjector[list][][{\blank[3*big]}]

\starttext
\placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text]
\blank[3*big]
\startchapter[title={Introduction}]
\startsection[title=Alpha]  \index{first}  \stopsection
\startsection[title=Beta]  second \index{second} \stopsection 
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={History}]
\startsection[title=Gamma] third  \index{third}  \stopsection
\startsection[title=Delta] fourth \index{fourth} \stopsection 
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Index}]
\placeregister[index][criterium=text]
\stopchapter
\stoptext

What I would need is a forced page break in the ToC, in this example before 
Chapter 2.
A few months ago this could still be accomplished by inserting into the 
preamble "\definelistextra[page][before=\page,after=\page]",  and 
"\placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text,extras={1.2=page}]" in the text.
But now, with the same version of mkiv, nothing happens.
Has this method of forcing a page-break in the ToC mysteriuosly diswppeared or 
do I use the worng command?

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] insert pagebreak in toc (MkIV)

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all (but maybe in particular Dear Hans),

I need a pagebreak in the ToC to avoid a widow.
So far I used the method given in sept 2010 in 
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/052739.html, and still on 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Forced_Page_Break,  but it does 
not seem to work anymore.

MWE (from the first-mentioned site):
%%%

\definelistextra[page][before=\page,after=\page]

\starttext

 \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text,extras={1.1=page}]

 \chapter{x1}
 \section{xx1}
 \section{xx2}
 \chapter{y2}
 \section{yy1}
 \section{yy2}

\stoptext

%
Compiled with a recent mkiv, from between sept 2015 till july 2016, the result 
shows no page break in the ToC.
What can be done about this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Robert Blackstone

Hi Pablo, 

Thanks for your suggestion. I did try to insert this code where I thought I 
might help, though must admit that I'm not sure what to do with the argument 
[frontpart].
In my projectfiles, admittedly rather a mess, there is nothing with the name 
frontpart. Anyway, with or without this or some other possibly more appropriate 
argument, nothing changed the behaviour of this, or rather a blockquote in this 
first chapter, not even surrounding the blockquote itself with 
\setupinterlinespace[small] ...  \setupinterlinespace[reset], as I wrote in my 
original post. 

But, while I was writing this reply it occurred to me that maybe there might be 
some local variant for \setupinterlinespace[small]  and, yes, I found 
\setuplocalinterlinespace[line=4ex] on the ConTeXt wiki and this does the 
trick. (with [line-3ex]).

So you did help me, though maybe not in the way you intended ;-)

Thanks again,

Best regards,

Robert

[NTG-context] Strange problem with Blockquote

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all, 

I have a small but nasty problem with the book I’m (still) working on.

Its 10 chapters contain many Blockquotes, and they all come out as intended 
except one, in the first, unnumbered, chapter “Introduction". That particular 
blockquote v]comes out like the others only as far as its width and its 
fontsize are concerned, but unlike the others it insists on keeping the same 
interline distance as the main text. Even that would not have been too much of 
a problem if it had not spoiled the layout by pushing a rather large float off 
the page, leaving a large gap.

This particular chapter is input by means of the Frontmatter file, as is Ch1, 
which also contains several Blockquotes, that come out OK.

When I process this chapter “Introduction" separately with the same setups the 
blockquote also comes out allright.
When, as a test, I input that chapter again, the second time through the 
Bodymatter, then again it comes out allright (while the blockquote in the real 
Ch0 keeps its large interline distance).
 
I have tried the following:
- add the setup for the blockquote to the Frontmatter file
- add the setup for the blockquote also to the Ch0 file itself
- add \setupinterlinespace[small] in the text just before the blockquote and 
\setupinterlinespace[reset] after it.
None of this has changed the interline distance of the blockquote one bit.

Is there anybody on this list for whom this problem is or sounds familiar and 
who knows a remedy?
If not, which information would I have to give to make a diagnosis possible?
(It may be evident that it is impossible to show the problem in an MWE.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

My apologies for not answering this particular question, other than by saying 
that indeed I work on a Mac, two in fact, one with  OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks, the 
other on OS X 10.11.5 El Capitan.
No difference in this respect: they produce the same hyphenation errors in an 
English text.

To complicate (perhaps) matters a bit: I did some tests with German, French and 
Italian texts. Compilation with different mkiv - versions produced no 
differences and no hyphenation errors.
So far I found hyhpenation errors only in English texts compiled with recent 
mkiv's  on a Mac.

I hope this helps to find a remedy.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

Hi Hans,
I'm afraid I'm lost here.
When I copy what you write you get and paste it into my example I still get, 
with Verdana 10 pt, no hyphenation errors with mkiv version 2015.10.09 21:28 
and some with mkiv version 2016.07.18 16:46: marv-elous and di-scriminate.

So doesn't it show that at least the two mkiv-versions differ in this respect 
and that when using the new version something extra or different has to be done 
in the setups to get the correct hyphenations?
Fortunately I still have kept some of the older ConTeXt-versions, so my project 
will not suffer from hyphenation error. But I suspect that reliance on older 
versions should not have to be necessary.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] Hyphenation errors (again or still) in recent mkiv

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all,

In the setupfile of my project I have \mainlanguage[en]. The font used is 
Verdana. 
With mkiv versions till october 2015 the hyphenation of English words was 
always correct.

The same files compiled with mkiv of july 2016 (version 2016.07.18 16;26) give 
hyphenations that are definitely wrong.
Some examples: begi-nning, pr-ocedure, adequ-ately, st-yle 

I made some tests with Linux Libertine sans and here also the earlier mkiv's 
gave correct hyphenations, the july version wrong ones.

So it seems that ref. hyphenation something is wrong with this mkiv-version.  
Or do I now have to use something other than  \mainlanguage[en] ? 

BTW, I found a similar discussion on this list at the beginning of february. 
Apparently the problem either was not solved or has returned.

Thanks in advance for advice. 

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] What is wrong with \stopintro?

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all, 

One my project files, that In previous versions of the standalone mkiv compiled 
without any problems, doesn't compile in the standalone I installed recently 
(version 2016.07.18 16;26).
It gives me an error warning hat I don’t understand:

+
tex error   > tex error on line 191 in file TD-Ch0-R1-index-UTF8-4CUP.tex: 
! Missing number, treated as zero

 
\23>>currentnamedsection 
\popmacro ...m_syst_helpers_push_macro \endcsname 
  \global \advance \lastname...
l.191 \stopintro
+

The processed file starts with:
++
\definehead [intro] [chapter]
\setuphead  [intro] [number=no,alternative=middle,style=\tfa \bf]

\startcomponent TD_Ch0-Intro.tex
\intro[bookmark=,label=,list={Introduction},marking=,reference=ch:Intro,title={Introduction}]
+++

and ends on line 191 with the error-causing command:
\stopintro

I should add that this particular file is input in the projectfile that also 
uses many others, like setup-files and .bbl's. It is however this particular 
file, TD-Ch0-R1-index-UTF8-4CUP.tex, that gives me problems. 

What can I do about this (other than compiling with an older version of mkiv) ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Robert Blackstone

Thanks Aditya, for this information.

I will try to find a working solution with a float. If I cannot solve my 
problem I will post a minimal example, although I think that to show what I 
would like to do but cannot do I will need a fairly large example. 
Do I understand correctly that you also have LilyPond.app installed?

Robert

[NTG-context] ConTeXt and LilyPond, another question

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all,

Inserting LilyPond scores or snippets into a ConTeXt file gives very nice 
results, better than inserting LilyPond pdf's as floats.
So far however, using floats has the advantage that they can be given a 
caption, that ConTeXt gives them a number, that one gets a list of floats in 
the ToC, that they can be indexed etc. etc., things that, as far as I can see, 
are missing when entering LilyPond code directly into the TeX-file and use the 
filter.

Does any of you know how this handicap can be overcome? Or else, would it be 
possible either to add these facilities to the filter or create some other 
means for providing the LilyPond examples with a caption and a number?  

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

Dear all, and in particular Mojca Miklavec and Jean-Pierre Delange, who reacted 
to my first call for help, 

I think I have solved my problem.
Somehow I managed to get Lilypond working from Terminal.  Then I placed the 
ConTeXt-example with the LilyPond filter that I tried to compile in the same 
directory als the lilypond binary. Compiling it, as usual, from TeXShop it 
still did not start LilyPond and the .pdf still had: "[[output file missing"  
where the musical example should have been.
However, compiling the file from Terminal did work.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

Thanks Mojca,

I have tried to get lilypond working from Terminal but without success. No idea 
why. Whatever I do Terminal replies with : cannot execute binary file.
I will now try to get some advice from the LilyPond list.

Hello Jean-Pierre,
Thanks for your reaction.

Ref. 1: I am running ConTeXt as a standalone
Ref. 2: ConTeXt is running under Mac OSX 10.9.5. I use TeXShop as the editor.
Ref. 3: I attach the example to this mail
Ref. 4: Yes, I created a folder "lilytemp". It is in the same directory as the 
.tex-file I want to compile. But I have no idea how and where to create a 
buffer.

My guess is that ConTeXt does not find the or even a lilypond executable but I 
cannot see how and where I have to supply the path.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] ConTeXt and LilyPond problem

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear All,

I am trying to get the combination of ConTeXt and LilyPond working.
I copied the example that I found on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond , 
changing the setups a little (I don't have the font  Adobe Jenson Pro).

Processing it with mkiv from april this year and earlier produces a pdf with 
both zapf texts and in between the text: [[output file missing.

The log-file says: 
-
t-filter  . cached output file 
'lilytemp/LilyPond-ConTeXt-example-27-06-16-templilypond-0.pdf' missing. 
Rerunning filter
sh: lilypond: command not found 
t-filter  > file 
'lilytemp/LilyPond-ConTeXt-example-27-06-16-templilypond-0.pdf' cannot be found
-
Indeed there is no file 
lilytemp/LilyPond-ConTeXt-example-27-06-16-templilypond-0.pdf .

With LilyPond.app itself, using TeXShop as the editor, I have no problems. (But 
I have never been able to get it working from Terminal, generating only 
messages like "cannot execute binary file" and "Permission denied" even after 
running sudo chmod u+x .)

What can I do about it?

Thanks in advance for tips and suggestions.

Best regards, 
Robert Blackstone

I had not noticed the comma and, yes, you are right, when I remove the comma I 
get an active url which opens a page on the desired site but without contents. 
When I add the comma in the address I get the desired page. I could add this 
instruction to the footnote but that seems to me to be a bit odd.

Incomprehensible for me, this workaround, but it does work !

Thank you both,

[NTG-context] Problem with urls

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all,
Can any of you explain, or, better, suggest a remedy for, the following problem:

I want active urls in footnotes. With the same setups and correct urls, some of 
them become active and some others not.

See the following ME: 

+
\setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard,style=,color=blue,contrastcolor=]

\starttext

AA 
\footnote{\goto{http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b90634431.r=Francois+Couperin.langEN}[url(http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b90634431.r=Francois+Couperin.langEN)]}

BB\footnote{\goto{http://imslp.org/wiki/Tuoni_ecclesiastici_con_li_loro_versetti_(Greco,_Gaetano)}[url(http://imslp.org/wiki/Tuoni_ecclesiastici_con_li_loro_versetti_(Greco,_Gaetano))]}

CC 
\footnote{\goto{http://www.saraband.com.au/figured_bass.htm}[url(http://www.saraband.com.au/figured_bass.htm)]}

\stoptext   
++

When I process this with mkiv, the urls in AA and CC are active, while in BB it 
is not. Why? 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

Re: [NTG-context] Printing bibliographic entries without the full publication list

On 29 Jul 2015, at 12:00 , Mojca Miklavec mojca.miklavec.li...@gmail.com

 Dear Hans  Alan,
 
 I would like to manually print the selected list of publications, like this:

 \usebtxdefinitions[aps]
 \starttext
 \startitemize
 \item \cite[entry][bib1]
 \item some random text
 \item \cite[entry][bib5]
 \stopitemize

 The problem is that this doesn't print anything unless I add
 \placelistofpublications somewhere.
 
 While I do understand (to some extent at least) the rationale for not
 printing the number of bib item when \placelistofpublications is
 missing, I don't see any reason why I should be unable to print the
 complete publication that doesn't even require printing out any
 number.
 
 Any hints about how to do a workaround?

Hi Mojca,
Despite being neither Hans nor Alan I could perhaps offer you the possibility 
of a simple workaround, 

I think you could do what you need in the same way as when you put 
bibliographic references in a footnote.
So in your case it would be:

\startitemize
\item \dcite{citekey1}
item some random text
\item \dcite{citekey2}
\stopitemize

In any case this works for me but my bibliographic setup may be different from 
yours.
I hope it helps,

Best regards, 
Robert Blackstone

Re: [NTG-context] Bibliography: printing just Single Author et al.

[Robert Blackstone]

On 7 May 2015, at 12:00 , Mojca Miklavec mojca.miklavec.li...@gmail.com
 
 Is there any trick that would allow liming the number of listed
 authors on per-article basis? Simply specifying
author = Just Someone et al.,
 ?
 
 (MkIV, experimental reimplementation.)

Hello Mojca,
The trick that I would use, in fact the procedure that I always use, is not to 
use bib-files but to separately generate the bbl-file and input that.
ConTeXt uses the .bbl, and once you have that you can tweak it in (almost) any 
way you like. You could if necessary, make two or more versions of the same 
publication, for instance in a footnote “Just Someone et al.” and in the 
Bibliography the complete list of Authors of that publication.
For my Bibliographic data I even needed three versions of each entry, one with 
authorname, to use your example, “Someone, Just” in the Bibliography, “Just 
Someone” for footnotes, the first occurrence, and “Someone” with a short book- 
or article title for all susequent occurrences.
No problem when you use the .bbl. Obviously the different versions should have 
(slightly) diiferent cite-keys.
(And take care not to input the .bib-file, since each time you process the 
thing a fresh .bbl is created wiping out all your modifications.)

I hope it solves your problem.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

Re: [NTG-context] Index items (additional question)

Hi Hans,
sorry to bother you again on this topic.

This code works beautifully in this way, with only a few index entries  at the 
top of the file, before \starttext. 
But how can I deal with the thousand or more index items in my project, which I 
have collected in four separate dedicated files with indexentries, like the 
three shown in the example-code.

I have really no idea  what else should be in these files,  what sort of name 
they should have, in particular extension,  and how and where I can input them.
I use TeXShop as my texteditor but that is probably not relevant here.

Can you give me some guidance, please?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

Hi Hans,

Thank you for your reply.
It took me a while to make your code operational in the way I need it.
For the new example you gave is still an integral file. My project, like most 
book-projects, I guess, is modular with a master file Project.tex, into which 
everything else, setups, .bbl's, front- and backmatter, the various chapters 
are input. Though strictly speaking it would not be impossible to add some 1000 
lines of index entries before \startproject, it would not be especially handy, 
and I cannot believe that it would be the proper ConTeXt-way to do it.

I found that when I split your code, transferred the top part to a new file, 
which I named IndexItems, and input that into the other half, the text 
proper, it works. But when I add another file with indexentries, for instance 
indexitemsnames, then only one of them, the one at the top is used. 
So it seems that the whole collection of index items must be in one file.
Is that the only possibility or are there ways to enable the use of several 
collections of index items?

Best regards, 
Robert

Re: [NTG-context] Index items

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi,
Same subject as in my previous post but a new question:
On the ConTeXt wiki-page Command\index one finds:

\index[...][...][…]
[…] text
[…] text
[…] text

What is the first argument for? Could it somehow be used to provide a key?

Another point, just for the sake of completeness: the example in my previous 
post yesterday, in ntg-context Digest, Vol 130, Issue 51,
contains a small error, or rather an omission. Not damaging for the example. 
Corrected in the book.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

 Hi Alan,

 first (it was written but not yet sent).
 
  Hi Hans,
 Do I want to remap given index entries? Assuming I understand your reply 
 correctly the answer is: Yes, in principle. I would want to be able to 
 change them if there are errors, or if some publisher has different views 
 about the presentation of titles of items that are in the index (titles of 
 songs, for instance). And also when (parts of) the text has (have) to be 
 reused for other purposes. Change them in one operation, that is, not by 
 digging up all occurrences in the book of the item that has to be changed.
 
 In answer to Alan’s question: names, theoretical treatises and manuscripts, 
 musical works, musical terms. Nearly all examples in the book have several 
 features that have to be indexed: composer’s name, title of the published 
 work (an opera for instance), title of the particular aria of which the 
 example shows a fragment, and the special features that are shown in the 
 example, parallel 7ths, for example.
 The not-so-minimal example below (best processed iwth mkiv) gives an 
 impression, also of the optical clumsiness that makes the unprocessed text 
 practically unreadable. That is another reason why I would like to be able 
 to call an index entry by means of some sort of key, like in bibliographic 
 items for footnotes.

Re: [NTG-context] Bibliographies in mkiv - announcement and WARNING!

[Robert Blackstone]

On 9 Mar 2015, at 21:28 , Alan BRASLAU alan.bras...@cea.fr

 ANNOUNCEMENT

 We introduced into the core of MKIV a dataset subsystem, not
 necessarily limited to the generation of bibliographic lists. This new
 subsystem has been part of the distribution for some time and an early
 first draft of its documentation had been made available.
 
 After putting the new system to heavy use in a real,
 bibliographic-intensive book project, and after much fighting
 back-and-forth over specifications and design choices, the upcoming
 beta standalone distribution will finally contain this completely
 revamped subsystem. 
 Hans and Alan (also with the help of Thomas and Luigi).
 
Hi Alan and Hans,
Maybe it is a bit early to ask questions already about this new bibliography 
tool. But it really interests me and I do need it.

First of all, I compiled the ME and added a number of my own .bib entries and 
they all came out well. It looks as if I can just continue use my existing 
BibTex database in the new system and continue using BibDesk for new items, 
which is a very good thing. No need to generate .bbl’s separately. (Though I 
hope that ConTeXt will keep the possibility to process .bbl’s as before.)

My questions are:
1 The ME contains no setup, no indication of a particular Bibliography style. 
What comes out in the ME looks like apa. Are there style files connected with 
this system? If so are they accessible for tweaking (I need some rather 
uncommon Bibliography style, sort of apa-like but different in many details)?
2 The \cite-command turns out just some number in square brackets, no info on 
what is cited. Is that a bug?
3 In the old system I used \dcite[key] for footnotes but \dcite is not 
recognized now. Is there another way?

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

 All the suggestions you have received are good, but ultimately you might  
 want to look at the spaces that Unicode provides, for example 202F. Not  
 sure sure which Unicode space character best suits your needs, but once  
 you have determined that, you can map it to one of the commands suggested  
 by others, or even define it to the exact width you want. For example, I  
 use imacron (U+012B) so much that it clashes with other characters. So I  
 map it to an alternate version that has a thinner macron:
 
 \defineactivecharacter ī {\fontchar{imacron.alt}}
 
 So what you want is a unicode space character that you can enter in your  
 editor, then define it in ConTeXt to exactly what you want.

and Hans Hagen pra...@wxs.nl wrote

 fyi: the list that Wolfgang shows with verbose space names ... these are 
 in fact unicode characters.

Thanks to both of you for pointing this out to me. 
Up till now I have never used unicode characters the way Idris proposes and I’m 
not sure that I already have the skills to make it work.  
For the moment I’m quite happy with the many possibilities that were given by 
Wolfgang and Hans.

Best regards,
Robert

 You can use \thinspace or \, which is the short form of \thinspace.
 
 
 
 Oddly enough, \, gives no comma and a normal space, \. gives no period and 
 no space with mkiv, and a superscript period with mkii.
 Could these forms for \thinspace perhaps be obsolete? 
 
 
 I have no problem to use \, as a space command but when you use don’t put a 
 space between the command and the following character.


My mistake: I forgot to add a comma after \, !
 \,, indeed works beautifully for my purpose. 
And thanks for the list of possibilities for spaces of various sizes.

[NTG-context] Does a half-space or small space exist in ConTeXt?

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi all,

I would like to use something like a half-space or small space in a situation 
where neither no space, nor a normal space is ideal.
See the ME:
-
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Verdana]
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\starttext
On the third beat a 6th between bass and tenor, {\em \lohi{B}{g}}, moves to the 
octave {\em \lohi{A}{a} . 
\medskip
On the third beat a 6th between bass and tenor, {\em \lohi{B}{g}} , moves to 
the octave {\em \lohi{A}{a}} . 
\stoptext


Without a space after {\em \lohi{B}{g}}, the normal situation, the comma is too 
close to the B, (and the period too close to the A), suggesting some 
superscript.
A normal space does not look nice (but if necessary I could live with it)

Is there an intermediate size for a space somehow?

Thanks in advance.

Bets regards,
Robert Blackstone

Re: [NTG-context] bibliography again: “von” and “van”

 We could simply add all kinds of switches and coding to help this process,
 but in the end we end up with an over complicated format that grows into a 
 monster!

and

 
 I as an old school type and database person would think it far better, to take
 a more pratical approach.

Most probably I’m not qualified to seriously discuss Bibliography matters in 
ConTeXt, but wat Keith has written here appeals to me.

It would probably be OK to try and control all and everything in a Bibliography 
with commands and codes if there were only a few standard ways of presenting a 
bibliography.
But that is not the case, even if most people seem to use apa-style.

What should one do with an old book, of which there are several “facsimile 
editions” and an English translation, and you were required, by the publisher 
or the university, to render it in the Bibliography in the following way:

Gasparini, Francesco, L’Armonico pratico al cimbalo (Venice, 1709); repr. (New 
York, 1967); repr. (Bologna, 2001); trans. Frank Stillings as The Practical 
Harmonist at the Harpsichord (New Haven, CT, 1963)

or, other example:

Buchner, Hans, Das Fundamentbuch (c1525), CH-Bmi, MS F.I.8; ME: in Carl 
Paesler, ‘Fundamentbuch von Hans von Constanz, Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte des 
Orgelspiels im 16. Jahrhundert’, VMw, 5 (1889), 1-192

?

With a Bibliography to make of about 500 items, for a PhD thesis, of which more 
than half were of this kind, I gave up on all sophisticated tools of BibTeX and 
exclusively used the format Booklet, with Author, Title, City and PubYear, 
generated a .bbl and edited that to give me  the correct form.
And, yes, I had to tweak the apa -style a little but that part was easy.

The two examples are in the .bbl-file as follows:

\startpublication[k=Gasparini:2001ublt,t=booklet,
a={{{Gasparini, Francesco}}},y=2001,
n=73,s={Gas}01]
\author[]{}[]{}{{Gasparini, Francesco}}
\pubyear{1963}
\title{{L'armonico pratico al cimbalo {\em (Venice, 1708); repr.~(New York, 
1967); repr. (Bologna, 2001); trans.~by Frank Stillings~as} The Practical 
Harmonist at the Harpsichord}}
\city{New Haven, CT}
\stoppublication

\startpublication[k=Buchner:1525fblt,t=booklet,
a={{{Buchner, Hans}}},y=,
n=39,s={Buc}]
\author[]{}[]{}{{Buchner, Hans}}
\title{{{Das Fundamentbuch} {\em ({\em c}1525), CH-Bmi, MS F.I.8; ME: in Carl 
Paesler,  \quote{Fundamentbuch von Hans von Constanz, Ein Beitrag zur 
Geschichte des Orgelspiels im 16.~Jahrhundert}}, VMw, {\em 5 (1889), 1-192}}}
\stoppublication

Primitive? Certainly. But it is straightforward, very flexible and it works. 

I hope of course that the new Bibliography tool will be very powerful, but I 
also hope that it will remain possible, in ConTeXt, to keep doing things in a 
simple manner.

Re: [NTG-context] How does \setupfloat work?

 Sorry, I should have mentioned I was able to work around it by doing
 exactly that, but I'd rather not have to edit all the \placefigure

 Also I'd like to use a different default width for graphics, so
 \setupexternalfigures[width=XXXcm] wouldn't work well either.
 
 I realize I could define my own macros or something to solve this, but I'm
 just puzzled that setting width in \setupfloat[figure] doesn't work. Am I
 reading the manual wrong, or is is just not implemented yet or something?
 (honest question)
 
Hi Mark,
What I would probably do (again) is:

1 leave out the float dimension from the setup and use something like
\definefloat[figure][figures]
\setupfloat[figure][location=,spacebefore=,spaceafter=,sidespacebefore=,sidespaceafter=]
 or whatever you want in this respect

2 collect in a separate .tex-file, to be input in your document .tex-file, all 
figure-data in the form 
\useexternalfigure[Fig1][YourFigure1.png][width=.x\textwidth]%  etc

If you want a different uniform figure width you can then easily replace ijn 
this file all width=.x\textwidth by width=.y\textwidth.

3 In your document .tex-file use 
\placefigure[here][Fig1]{Title}
{\externalfigure[Fig1]}  

This will probably give you optimal flexibility.

I hope it helps.

Robert Blackstone

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with PDF bookmarks (outline)

 A few weeks back I've asked here about the structure of titles, as the 
 PDF bookmarks didn't work for me. I was given a solution, which should 
 work, but unfortunately it doesn't. I don't know if this is a bug or is 
 this expected behaviour.
 
 For the file:
 
 \setupinteraction[state=start]
 \placebookmarks[part,chapter,section]
 \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
 \starttext
 \placecontent
 
 \startfrontmatter
  \startchapter[title=Prologue]

 \stoppart
 
 \startbackmatter
  \startchapter[title=Epilogue]
  \input knuth
  \stopchapter
 \stopbackmatter

 ConTeXt (Mk IV) generates a PDF file which has only one item in the 
 bookmarks -- the Prologue. The other chapters show up only if the file 
 is changed with
 
 \placebookmarks[chapter,section]
 
 but then of course there is no sign of Part A in the bookmarks.
 
 I would expect the bookmarks to look like this:
 
 Prologue
 Part A
   One
 Epilogue

Hi, 
I think it is a  very recent bug. Only the standalone I installed  today gives 
the same wrong result that you get. 
My previous standalones, of which the most recent was installed two days ago, 
on  november 2, all give the correct result. That is, the bookmarks look OK but 
Part A starts on empty page 3 (no head) and Chapter 1 starts on page 4.
Is that really what you want?

You write: “Brown, J. R., precedes Browning, A.R., even though i precedes j in

Likewise, when sorting these names (with TeX-Edit Plus), Singh Siddhu, N. comes

Same with López de Molina, G. and López, M. E.

Or does ConTeXt, or TeX, have its own sorting order?

Hi Pablo,
I cannot confirm any bug, but what I would do anyway is to force the sorting in 
whatever order I want by using
\index[]{} with the argument specifying the order.
So your example could be:

\starttext
   \index[tipograf\'{i}adig]{tipograf\'{i}a digital}
   \index[tipograf\'{i}as]{tipograf\'{i}as}
   \index[idiomadeu]{idioma+de un pasaje}
   \index[idiomadel]{idioma+del documento}
   \completeindex
   \stoptext

if you want tipografias digital before tipografias.
This works with all mkiv and mkii versions I have, including the ones that I 
installed today. I use it for a rather comlex three-level index and it works 
flawlessly (for me).

Robert Blackstone

One can correct all faulty entries that way of cause. 

  You were asking for comments
 about your solution, I hope the following remarks are informative to
 you.
 
 My .bib file is being autogenerated by Mendeley, a reference manager,
 and changes often in terms of contents. That workflow seems
 incompatible with your solution. Furthermore, I may not let the
 authors appear in citations with all their names every time, it should
 be limited to the first time (the APA 6 rules, that I referred to).
 With your solution, 1 out of n citations would be correct, while in
 the current situation (without manual intervention) n-1 out of n would
 be correct (all but the first).
 
 I clearly misunderstood your problem, which, as I see now, thanks to your 
remarks, is rather different from mine. 
I would not have sent you my silly answer if I had known this.

On the other hand, I too need citations and bibliographic references to appear 
in different forms, three in my case:
In the Bibliography with Author: Last name, first name, 
In the text and footnotes the first time with Author(s): First name(s), last 
name(s),  and full title of the work, and in all the following citations with 
Author(s): Last name(s) only and short title of the work. 
I could think of no other way to accomplish this than to generate the .bbl, 
make two copies, “Inversed Author” and “Short Title”, make the necessary 
changes in these .bbl’s, including the cite-key to mark it for these two 
alternatives. I should add that I could not use apa  but an apa-like, modified 
in many details which also forced me to tweak the .bbl.

It all seems a lot of work but it is straightforward, it works for me and it 
protects me from an enormous amount of frustration.
(And I’m glad my .bib-file is not autogenerated.)

But again,  don’t input the bib-file. Every time you do that the old .bbl is

Hi Andrea,
It probably depends on whether you cite your bibliographic references in the

What I would do anyway is to make a subsection or a subject “References after 
each essay, add the references that I have not cited in my text as \nocite[key]

I should perhaps add that I always process my projects without using the

\starttext. It gives me a lot of flexibility. 

I hope this helps.

 It is not. ?dir node? means ?direction node? in this context. Nodes are 
 LuaTeX internal data structure objects.
 Various bits of ConTeXt manipulate these objects, and sometimes the reference 
 counting goes off and one
 whose memory has already been given back to the operating system is asked to 
 release its memory again.
 
 The message is harmless, but it points to a small lua programming error 
 somewhere in the source (either
 by the author or by ConTeXt).

Thanks, Taco. 
I will stop worrying about looming disasters.

Robert

I’ve no idea whether or not the error is connected with “too many open files”. 
The Project needs some 40 files but its working directory contains some 120 
files  (most of them only for testing purposes). Moreover, I usually only have 
the “project-file open during processing (but I don’t know if that is 
important here).
Surprisingly, as I wrote in my first post on this subject, the error up till 
now only occurs when I use interaction, and it usually does not occur anymore, 
at least on the same day, after I processed it once without interaction. But 
the next day, after sleep (of the Mac), the error may occur again.

I did not change the settings but I will in case the problem gets worse.

Best regards,
Robert

[NTG-context] Erratic error message

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi all,
When typesetting my project with interaction, sometimes the processing stops 
after a few runs with an error message that points at an empty line in one of 
the chapters that normally gives no trouble. 

For interaction this setup is used:
\setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard,style=,color=blue,contrastcolor=]
\placebookmarks[prechapter,chapter,section][prechapter,chapter,section][number=no]

When I comment out the first of these two lines, in other words, without 
interaction, the project is processed without any problem.
Sometimes, unfortunately not always, when I immediately repeat the processing 
with interaction, all goes well. 

So what is my problem? Not understanding what might be wrong, and not being 
able to correct things gives me a feeling of insecurity, trusting Murphy’s law 
to make sure that processing will fail when my deadline is approaching fast.

I use mkiv on Mac OSX 10.9.4. All my standalone versions from january up to 
today give the same behaviour.

I mostly get the following  error message:  (occasionally something different 
happens: the processing gets into some endless loop and I have to abort it)

 You?re forgetting that \section insert also a space before the text is

 \section command.

Thank you, Wolfgang. I was not forgetting what you describe. Worse, I had not 
taken any notice, just accepting the default distances as they appeared, which 
generally seemed OK.
I hope to be a bit ConTeXt-wiser now.

Hello Joshua,
Thanks for your reaction.
The minimal example you gave works here as well, but it does not really concern 
the problem I had.

When you add a section right at the beginning of the chapter, as is the case 
for nearly all of the chapters of my project, things become different.
Here is your ME with sections added:

===
\starttext

%\startfrontmatter
%\input knuth
%\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter

\setuphead [chapter] [
number=yes,
alternative=middle,
style=\tfa \bf,
after={\blank[0.5cm]},
]

\chapter{One}
\section{One a}
\input knuth

\setuphead [chapter] [
number=yes,
alternative=middle,
style=\tfa \bf,
after={\blank[0.1cm]},
]

\chapter{Two}

\section{Two a}
\input knuth

\stopbodymatter

\stoptext
===
Despite different setups for the chapter head the distances: chapter head - 
section head - beginning of the text,  are identical in both chapters (±1 
pixel).
But I have realized now, a bit late, that for real control over these distances 
one also needs to setup the section-head in a similar manner, additionally 
specifying the distance before.
The presence or absence of Frontmatter does not influence results.
I think there must have been a setup command somewhere in my setups that I had 
forgotten about.

I admit having been a bit panicky because a tiny difference in layout between

[NTG-context] Distances between chapter and setion titles and text

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear list,

Is it possible, in mkiv, to fine-tune the distance between a chapter head and a 
section head,  between the end of a section and the following section head, and 
between a section head and the beginning of the text?

My problem is the following:
In the revision of a thesis, to economize on processing times, I have done all 
corrections in the bodymatter, or even parts of it, using the setups of the 
entire project. But when I now add the front matter these above-mentioned 
distances have slightly increased, by 3 to 5 mm, with a rather devastating 
effect on the precise placement of large floats. At the beginning of a new 
chapter the difference is one textline (double line spacing), which does not 
seem a big deal but with nearly 500 pages of text it leads to nasty results.

In my setups I have for the heads
\setuphead[chapter][
header=empty,
page={yes,header,right},
number=yes,
alternative=middle,
style=\tfa \bf,
after={\blank[0.5cm]},
]

en 
\setuphead[section][
style=tfa,
number=yes,
alternative=left,
indentnext=no
]

Changing after={\blank[0.5cm]} to after={\blank[0.1cm]} or omitting it 
altogether did not have any effect. 

If the culprit is to be found  in the Frontmatter, or its specific setups, what 
should I look for?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone___

[NTG-context] Problem with List of Abbreviations

[Robert Blackstone]

Problem with List of Abbreviations
Dear all,

In my list of abbreviations I need different styles for different types of 
entry. A typical case is titles of journals, of which both the abbreviation and 
the full name should  be slanted.
I had it working, albeit with some tricks, with older versions of mkiv, up till 
25-01, but with more recent versions things don’t work anymore. 
Also the setup-commands seem to have been changed: 
In recent versions the pair:
definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort]
\setupabbreviations[textstyle=slanted,synonymstyle=slanted,criterium=all] 
gives en error message about an undefined control sequence.

In the following minimal example I have listed what I could find as 
possibilities. The top three work with older versions. In the bottom three, for 
the recent mkiv, both textstyle and synonymstyle remain normal.
In the older versions only the abbreviation could be made slanted the way, but 
I could make the synonym slanted with {\em entry} , and I still could do that, 
but this cannot be done with the abbreviation.

Re: [NTG-context] Bibliography: only surname in small caps

[Robert Blackstone]

On 30 jun. 2014, at 17:33,  Joshua Kr?mer joshua.krae...@gmail.com wrote

 I would like to have in a bibliography only surnames in small
 capitals, like this:
 
 M?LLER, B. and SCHNEIDER A.
 
 (M?ller and Schneider appear in small caps, but everything else
 like and is still in the default typeface.)
 
 At the moment, I'm using the old bibliography system.  …

 Is it possible to achieve what I want (SC surnames) with the old and the
 new system?

Hi Joshua,
I suspect it can be done in the old system, albeit by some tricks that are 
maybe unworthy of ConTeXt.
I have not tried using small caps because I use a font that does't have them 
but I think it would be doable.

There a in fact two tricks. The first is to put everything in the booklet 
category and enter everything except author names, year of publication and city 
(or publisher) in the title. 
The second is to make a .bbl file and edit that, including ordering small caps 
where you want them, just as in a normal .tex-file. In your project you input 
the edited .bbl-file, not the .bib-file.

This way you can use all the nice  mechanisms of ConTeXt for citing, footnotes 
and bibliography without having to bother with the tweaking of codes.

I have done it this way for my wife's PhD thesis and it works perfectly.

Re: [NTG-context] Multiple bibliographies (bib-module, mkiv)

[Robert Blackstone]

On 7 Apr 2014, at 12:00 , Peng Zhang pczh...@gmail.com wrote

 I am searching for a solution where I can use two different sources of 
 bib files separately. I found that the same question was asked before at 
 this mail list. Since it was few years old, could I ask if there is any 
 new work done towards it?
 
 Thanks!
 Peng
 
 http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/048290.html

Hello Peng,
For a Bibliography with  separate sections you can use the following 
work-around:
Suppose you want a section primary sources, for which you have the bibfile, 
say, ps.bib, and a section secundary sources, for which have the bibfile 
ss.bib.
The first step is tro to make for each of them a .bbl-file with, what I would 
call, a  bbl-generator.tex:

\setupbibtex[database=ps.bib,sort=author]
%\setupbibtex[database=ss.bib,sort=author]

\setuppublications[alternative=apa] %or any other style

\starttext 

\stoptext

This can be processed with mkii or mkiv. It generates a lot of auxiliary files, 
including an empty pdf, but the only important one is bbl-generator.bbl, 
which you rename to ps.bbl or ss.bbl according to which of the two bib-files 
you used.(= did not comment out)

The other files you need are two .tex-files with the complete set of 
\nocite[]'s of the two databases. Personally I never used \nocite{*}. If you 
use a Mac with BibDesk it is quite easy to make such a file. It gives you some 
extra flexibility.

You can then generate the sectioned bibliography with:
++
\input(Your setups, including those for your Bibliography setup)
\starttext 
\startchapter[bookmark=,label=,list=,marking=,reference=Bibliography,title={Bibliography}
\section{Primary sources}

\input ps.bbl
\input ps-nocite.tex
\placepublications[criterium=cite]

\section{Secundary sources}

\input ss.bbl
\input ss-nocite.tex
\placepublications[criterium=cite]

\stopchapter
\stoptext 
+++
That's all.

I hope it works for you.

 Thank you very much for this workaround! It does work. Would it be 
 possible that I can make two fake/invisible sections? (without showing 
 primary sources and secondary sources in your example)
 
 I am doing my CV. I just want two separate reference lists, one for 
 journal and one for published abstracts.
 
 I am copying the CV template from wiki.
 
 \definehead[CVHEAD][subject]
 
 \setuphead[subject][style=\bfa,after={\blank[medium]}]
 
 
 \definehead[SUBCVHEAD][subsubject]
 
 \setuphead[subsubject][style=\bf,after={\blank[small]},before={\blank[small]}]
 
 
 I want something like
 \CVHEAD{References}
 \SUBCVHEAD{Pulished Journal Articles}
 
 list 1
 \SUBCVHEAD{Pulished Abstracts}
 list 2
 
 
 Could I put two fake/invisible sections within those subcvhead?
 
 
 Thanks,
 Peng

Hi Peng, 
I'm not quite sure I fully understand what you want, so I just tried making 
separate lists.
Now for some reason that I don't understand no list appears in a subsubject. 
However if you use instead SUBCVHEAD as an unnumbered section  with

\definehead[SUBCVHEAD][section]
\setuphead[section][header=empty,number=no,style=\bf,after={\blank[small]},before={\blank[small]}]
 

and if  you add \page after
\placepublications[criterium=cite], 

then you get separate lists with unnumbered titles.

I hope this is what you want. If not, maybe someone les on this list can help 
you.

Best regards,
Robert

 You can use \testpage to make sure chapter entries have a certain number of 
 lines before a page break happens, e.g. 
 \setuplist[chapter][before={\testpage[4]\blank}]
 
 When you need manual page breaks in the TOC in your final document there is 
 another mechanism: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/052739.html

Thank you, Wolfgang. My apologies for my late reaction.

As for my first problem, the link you gave showed me what I needed. Problem 
solved.
As for my second problem, the relative dimensions of the three columns in the 
List of Examples, I could no see how I could create a representative ME in a 
short time, so instead I experimented with the many parameters for \setuplist 
and eventually found a satisfactory solution.
Thanks again,

[NTG-context] (Combined)lists, two questions

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all,
 I have a few issues with the Table of Contents and with the List of Figures

1 How can one force a page break after some section. In my present setup I have 
a Chapter 4, sitting lonely at the bottom of the first page of the ToC, with 
its sections on the next page. I have tried \completecontent[3.7], as described 
on p. 53 of ConTeXt an excursion, but that does not work for me (I'm on 
mkiv). 
What can be done about it?

2 My list of figures gives the complete captions, some of which are long. Those 
exceeding their allotted space break off, which is OK, but there are some that 
run up against the page number, which is ugly and unclear. 
What can I do the create a little more space between caption and page number?

In general, of most if not all of the 38 possible arguments for \setuplist, as 
shown on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/, I do not know what they do and how 
they can be used. Unfortunately, also ConTeXt an excursion is very brief on 
this subject. 
Is there any place where I can find more information?

Thanks in advance for ay advice.

Robert Blackstone___

(I did find a hack, consisting of introducing between the Title-page and the

the second page is filled with stack of empty framed textboxes with their 
frames off. It does work somehow but I cannot believe that it is the right

Re: [NTG-context] Simpleton bibliography

 Question 1: What are the other options for
 \setupbtxrendering and what do they do? (In my
 world Bibliographies are seldom numbered.)
 
 Question 2: Suppose I want to follow a different
 standard, other than APA, such as harvard or
 Chicago or whatever: where do I code that
 choice and how? Are bst files still in play?
 
 Question 3: url is mentioned. Does that mean that
 url can actually used as a data field name?
 
Hi,
I have struggled with Bibliographies and almost gave up, because of the 
non-standard, and changing, style requirements (like apa but different in 
details, with, moreover, three different styles for citations in footnotes: 
full data, a shorter version and a still shorter version, the latter probably 
(authoryear), but I'm still not sure).

In the end I used for everything the category booklet, which is less of a  
straitjacket than the other categories. It gives you the freedom to put some 
extra details (if needed) in the title and also to style the author the way 
you want (for example Last name, First name  or Last name, initials, or 
Initials Last name or whatever you want.) 
You can also use urls there, as far as I know.

For consistency you would still need a bibl style file, for which I used a 
tweaked version of bibl-apa.tex. (which is in 
~/context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/bib)

And a last thing: I input not the BibTeX database but  the .bbl which I 
generate separately. I can tweak that if necessary or to add specific features, 
like horizontal lines in the Bibliography for repeated author names. (Another 
requirement which I personally don't like).

Maybe all this is rather unworthy of ConTeXt but it is comparatively easy to 
accomplish and it works.

I hope it helps.

Robert Blackstone

Thank you Wolfgang. This works and it will very likely also work for my 
project. 
I'm afrraid though that I left out an important detail, namely that the ToC 
itself must be mentioned in the ToC.
What I'm expected to emulate is the following: (with real pagenumbers of course)

CONTENTS

Acknowledgementsi
Abstractii
Contentsiii
List of Illusttratiions iv
List of Tables  v
Abbreviations and Library sigla vi
Preface vii

Chapter 1   8
Chapter 2 etc.

So my real question should have been: Is there a way to place the ToC in an 
unnumbered chapter, which should not be at the very beginning of the book? 
But you have suggested the answer already: Changing \title{Contents} to 
\prechapter{Contents} does just that. Clean solution for an, imho,  odd request.

 Thank you for your reaction.

This is odd. Here this EM does not work with CONTEXT version 2013.11.14 23:22, 
(which uses LuaTeX version 0.76.0 as engine.)

(to get this information I had of course to outcomment the \from[apurl])
Still stranger: when I plugged the url into some other TeX-file it did work 
with the same ConTeXt version.
 So it seems that there is some essential difference between these files (apart 
from their content)
Do you have any idea what that could be? Could it be a matter of text encoding? 
(I use TeXShop as the front end.)

Re: [NTG-context] captions in float combinations

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi Marco, hi Aditya,

Thank you very much for the solutions you have proposed for my problem, that of 
making a side by side combination of two figures of unequal height with both 
the figures and their (sub)-captions located at the top.

In order not to make this mail too long I simply refer to the ntg-context 
Digest numbers and message number containing the proposed solutions: 
Marco's in ntg-context Digest, Vol 111, Issue 23, Message 1, and in ntg-context 
Digest, Vol 111, Issue 24, message 5, Aditya's in ntg-context Digest, Vol 111, 
Issue 24, message 4

These solutions give me all the possibilities I need. 
When I just want both figures in the combination to be located at the top 
without subcaptions I will probably use Marco's second proposal, which is both 
simpler and far more elegant than the hack I found myself.

If I want them at the top with subcaptions I will use Aditya's method, which, 
by the way, is nearly identical with Marco's first solution, but for two 
arguments for \externalfigure, the fllename of the figure and [location=top].

This fully solved my problem. Thank you both.
Wouldn't it  be worthwhile to add it to the wiki?

Best regards,
Robert

[NTG-context] captions in float combinations

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear list,
In two-column combinations  of figures, the subcaptions for the individual 
figures are always placed at the bottom, below the figures, regardless of the 
position of the main figure caption.
In my project I have all figure captions located above the figure. How can I 
move also these subcaptions to the top, to a position just below the main 
caption? 
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Best regards, 
Robert Blackstone

 As far as I can see, this is not supported by the combination
 mechanism because the captions in combinations are not implemented
 using the float captions mechanism.
 
 What you can do instead, is using a float caption and a float
 combination, which will respect the global caption setups.
 
 \useMPlibrary [dum]
 
 \definefloat
  [combinationfloat]
  [combinationfloats]
  [figure]
 
 \setupcaption
  [combinationfloat]
  [number=no]
 
 \setupcaptions
  %% [location=bottom]
  [location=top]
 
 \starttext
  \startplacefigure [title=Foobar]
\startfloatcombination [2*2]
  \startplacecombinationfloat [title=alpha] \externalfigure

  \startplacecombinationfloat [title=beta]  \externalfigure

Hi Marco,

Thanks for your solution. It took me a while to harmonize your new float with 
my other floats in my document setups. These are all placed on the left side of 
the page and that caused yor float to move almost off the page.
So I added:

\setupfloat[combinationfloat][location=middle,spacebefore=medium,spaceafter=medium,sidespacebefore=medium,sidespaceafter=medium]

and now it works beautifully.

There is, however, another complication which makes that unfortunately I cannot 
use your solution out of the box in all situations.
The paired figures in my particular project are often of different size, in 
particular of different height, (but small enough to be placed side by side).
The author wants not only the figure captions at the top, but also the figures 
themselves.
I did not mention this complication because, a) I had found a hack to place 
both figures at the top, and b) I had not expected that the solution for the 
problem I posted would be a new type of float instead of a new type of 
combination.

So now the captions are at the top but the figures are not. (Law of 
Conservation of Misery)

I will use your solution when the figures are of the same height and can be 
placed at the bottom

You're far more experienced and ingenious in these matters than I am, so 
perhaps you have a solution for this additional problem, positioning figures of 
different sizes at the top too. (I should mention, however, that I have a 
fall-back solution, which consists of adding another line to the caption with 
info about the two figures in the combination)

Thank you very much  anyway.

Best regards,

Robert

[NTG-context] Bibliography, replacing repeated authorname by a dash

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear List,
I'm typesetting a PhD thesis. The university has strict and not quite standard 
specifications for the Bibliography and one of these is that if an author's 
name is only given with its first entry and  must be replaced by a dash in the 
following entries.

Is there anybody on this list who can give me a method worthy of ConTeXt? (I've 
no experience with Lua myself.)

I did find a hack, i.e. replacing in the .bbl-file the author's last name by 
\hl[4] (and omitting his initial) the second time, as shown in the minimal 
example. But that requires modifying the .bbl-file manually, a task which I'd 
rather avoid, but will do if necessary.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] Problem with horizontal space in List of Figures

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear list,

Using Hans' nice method to place in a document several figures with the same 
number, separated by text or on different pages, I run into difficulties with 
the List of Figures.  Apparently ConTeXt does not make enough space to 
accommodate the figure numbers and the groupsuffix, as the example shows. 
(Sorry for the large number of figures but I needed a double digit number of 
them to show the problem. None of the other elements, titles, captions etc. has 
any significance for this problem.)

In this problem the chosen font, Verdana, seems to be an essential factor. With 
many sans fonts there is no problem, for example not with Iwona, Arila, 
Helvetica, Calibri. Optima, Trebuchet MS. But others, for example Lucida Sans 
and Sathu give the same problem as Verdana.
Unfortunately I have to use Verdana for my project. 

What can I do to create a little more space for the first column of the List of 
Figures?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Best regards, 
Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] Referencing problem

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi all,

To include in a text several graphics that for some reason must have the same 
figure number (with suffixes .a, .b etc.), I use
\\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=,title={},group=,groupsuffix=]
{\externalfigure[]}
\stopplacefigure
an experimental solution that Hans gave me in april (Ref. ntg-context Digest, 
Vol 106, Issue 4, Date:14 April 2013) and which works perfectly.

My problem is: how can I refer in my text to this set of figures (instead of to 
the separate figures). I have tried to use group as the label for 
referencing, as it is the only argument that all figures have in common, but my 
trials failed and I have no idea how to accomplish this. (The wiki is too vague 
for me on this point.)

Thanks in  advance for any help.

Thank you, Marco, and Alan, for  your suggestions.

As I wrote, wherever possible I use combinations for related examples, and they 
only give problems when the examples are too large to fit on the same page. 
The solution with itemize does not help here. With small enough figures the 
results seems not too different from that with Combinations. With large figures 
stacked vertically the lower one still gets cut off (and with it also the 
caption when it is placed underneath the figure). If somehow a pagebreak could 
be inserted between the two items, then this solution would probably work. 
But I have no idea how to achieve this. Inserting \page between  \startitem A 
cow\stopitem   and  \startitem A mill \stopitem changes nothing.

[NTG-context] float combinations

Dear all,
A few days ago (10 April 2013, Vol.106, Issue 25) I posted a question about 
giving related but not necessarily adjacent floats the same number, as for 
example Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b.
In the meantime I found a, not very elegant, solution that only partly 
satisfies me.
Here is a working example: (I trust the cow and the mill can be found).
 %---
\useexternalfigure[SmallCow][cow.pdf][height=2cm] 
\useexternalfigure[MediumCow][cow.pdf][height=3cm] 
\useexternalfigure[Mill][mill.png][height=3cm] 
\definelist[figure]
\setuplist[figure][prefix=yes,label=yes,alternative=c]

\starttext
This file is for testing the possibility of giving two related musical examples 
(in old and modern notation respectively) the same figure number with a. and b. 
as suffixes to the number proper. 

\placefigure[here][SmallCow1]{A small cow.}
{\externalfigure[SmallCow]}  

A cow again, in two sizes.

\in{Figure}[SmallCow2]a shows the same cow as \in{Figure}[SmallCow1]. 
\placefigure[here][SmallCow2]{{\bf a}. Another small cow.}
{\externalfigure[SmallCow]} 
And here a larger cow (\in{Figure}[MediumCow1]b).

\setnumber[figure][1]
\placefigure[here][MediumCow1]{{\bf b}. A larger  cow.}
{\externalfigure[MediumCow]} 

And here comes a mill.
\placefigure[here][Mill1]{A mill.}
{\externalfigure[Mill]}  

\page
{\bf List of Figures}
\placelist[figure]
\completecontent
\stoptext 

%
This way a and b become part of the caption text, resulting in: Figure 2
 a  A small ….. etc., and: Figure 2 b  A larger …etc. Likewise in the List 
of Figures. This is not what I would like.

Is there a possibility, when not using Combinations, to get: Figure 2aA 
small …..  etc?

Wherever possible I use Combinations but in some cases examples to be combined 
are very different in size and shape and/or too large to fit on one page 
together, so that one of them gets cut off.
Is there a possibility, when using a combination of figures, to split it, in 
other words, to separate the figures spatially, to allow them to appear on 
consecutive pages, and maybe even allowing some text in between?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards, 

Robert Blackstone

Hi Alan, 
Thank you for your reaction and your suggestions.
Indeed, it is not exactly what I envisaged. I would be happiest if there were a 
way to add a and b as a suffix to the number, like Figure 2a.
With combinations it is easy to have a general Caption and specific captions 
for the components of the combination. But for the List of Figures I see no 
other possibility than, for instance 2   Dutch scenery. a. Cow, b. Mill. 
In fact I have no problems when I can make use of a combination, but, as I 
wrote, sometimes combinations are impossible for lack of space on the page.

What you describe as a challenge for Hans could be perfect, I think, provided 
an itemization can be interrupted and continued on next page. (I tried your 
liitle code snippet but ConText would not have it.) 
Splitting a float combination might turn out to be simpler. Only I have no clue 
as to how to achieve that.

Thanks again.

Best regards,
Robert

[NTG-context] float combinations

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all,

I would like to have in my document floats, i.c. musical examples, that 
basically have the same  number, for example, Ex. 3a and Ex. 3b, with text in 
between and possibly not even on the same page. 

It seems that it can be done (Wiki-page Command/setupfloatsplitting) but I have 
no idea how to to accomplish it for figures.

Alternatively can one create a combination of two figures but separate the two 
elements spatially? And if so, how?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

Hi Mica and Keith,

Thanks for your reaction. It is informative to hear your opninon. 
I did not want to start a discussion -- it was rather a cri de coeur born out 
of frustration -- so I will leave it at this. 

Best regards,

Robert

[NTG-context] Endnotes - How to place all endnotes in a separate chapter?

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear list,

How can I collect, in a separate (unnumbered) chapter at the end, or in the 
Backmatter, of a book,  all endnotes from the previous chapters, as lists per 
chapter (for example in sections in this chapter Notes, with, preferably, the 
chaptertitles as sectiontitles of that chapter)
My setupfile contains, on the subject of notation, only:
\setupnotation[endnote][way=bychapter,bodyfont=10pt]
and  each chapter now ends with:
\placenotes[endnote][height=\textheight]
which neatly gives a list at the end of each chapter.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best regards,

[NTG-context] Subjects on this list - general request

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all,
Considering all complaints about the difficulties to find, in the Garden, or in 
the NTG mail archive,  answers to specific problems, wouldn't it be a good idea 
to ask everybody to clearly state the subject of their message, preferably 
starting with the most important keyword, and in particular to avoid (no 
subject) or [***SPAM***], and similar things as subjects.
Also, if you forgive me,  subjects like upto current or Bug in \column are 
not really helpful when on tries to search in the archive for a solution to a 
specific problem. In the last-mentioned example, wouldn't \column, Bug in -  
or even \column, Bug in \column be better? 
More specific subject titles in the mails might save some of us hours of 
unfruitful searching and lots of teeth grinding.
This is probably not the first request on this topic but, if so, I thought it 
would do no harm to repeat it.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

Re: [NTG-context] Trouble with \placefloat in recent versions of the standalone

 1. Can you provide a complete, minimal non-working example that

Hi Philipp,
Thanks for your reply. 
I have as yet not succeeded in making a non-working minimal example. So far 
they all ran smoothly with each of my whole collection of minimals, including 
the latest (= yesterday's) beta. 
So I will have to look in some of the auxiliary files, setups etc. for the 
cause of my trouble. 
The fact remains that the present ConTeXt mkiv is different from that of 
november and before in a way that is crucial for my project. 

Thanks again. Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

[NTG-context] Trouble with \placefloat in recent versions of the standalone

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all,

With recent standalones (jan. 7, jan. 29 and march 2) I am experiencing trouble 
processing .tex-files that gave no problems in november (14-11).
For instance, when processing with ConTeXt  ver: 2013.01.02 18:19 MKIV  fmt: 
2013.1.7  int: english/english, the log file gives the following information: 
---
! LuaTeX error [string \directlua ]:1: invalid escape sequence near '\s'.

system   tex  error on line 47 in file 
Chapter_4_S2MyBq-02-03-example.tex: LuaTeX error  ...
---

and further on:
-
45 \placeexample[here][ZarlConsCh38p188tot]{Zarlino\index[Zarlino]{Zarlino, 
Gioseffo}, Consonances ch.38, p.188}
46 {\startcombination[1*2]
47   {\externalfigure[ZarlConsCh38p188fa]}{facsimile}
48 {\externalfigure[ZarlConsCh38p188fi]}{transcription}
49 \stopcombination}

The processing stops at line 47.
The log-file's last words are: inserted text ...number \foundexternalfigure 
; }
I have no clue as to what to do with that information.

Just for the sake of completeness: In the setupfile example is defined:
\definefloat[example][examples]
\setupcaption[example][way=bychapter,prefix=yes,prefixsegments=chapter,location=top,number=yes,inbetween=\blank,bodyfont=10pt]
\setuplabeltext[en][Example=Ex. ]

As said, ConTeXt  ver: 2012.11.14 11:37 MKIV  fmt: 2012.11.15  int: 
english/english gives no problem at all.
Also, \placetable[here][tab:ref]{caption}} does not seem to trigger problems in 
recent versions.

Has something been changed in the commands for placing external figures since 
november?
What would I have to change, either in the setup or in the commands for placing 
the example?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone___

 In my opinion this is a very helpful feature, as it allows to differentiate 
 between definition and use.
 
 @Hans: May I humbly ask, if it is possible to fix this?! (it doesn't hurt to 
 ask, I suppose ;) )
 
 Cheers,

[NTG-context] References to footnotes in index

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear List,

I posted this question before, (28 december, ntg-context Digest, Vol 102, Issue 
65) but there was little activity on the list around that time and my question 
may have been overlooked.
So that is why I give it another try.

The book that I am working on has an index of authors. On some pages of the 
book an author's name only occurs in a footnote.
Is it possible in ConTeXt to mark, in the index, those occurrences in footnotes 
so that in these cases not only the page number appears in the index but also, 
preferably as superscript, the footnote number on that page?
As for example:
Arnold, Franck Th.  283indicating footnote 3 on page 28 (the 3 should 
have been superscript here but I cannot make a superscript in this mail editor)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

What I certainly don't want is separate index entries for those authors. Each 
author name should occur in the index only once.

Thanks in advance of any help.

 But after context runs this file it falls down with error message:


I have no idea what you are trying to make, but if you can see the picture on 
your screen and you make a screenshot, ConTeXt will process that without a 
problem. The problem is perhaps that its resolution is a bit low so that you 
are limited as far as its size of the picture is concerned. But 4x4 cm would 
give an acceptable result, I think. (I tested it and the result is quite OK.)
