I'am using the following setup and referring to the .bib file by \cite[key]:
\setupbibtex[database=references,sort=author]
\setuppublications[alternative=aps]
\setuppublications[
criterium=all,
sorttype=bbl,
numbering=short,
numbercommand=\bibkeyfmt,
autohang=yes,
refcommand=short,
]
\setuppublicationlist[
totalnumber=50,
after={\vskip 3ex},
author={\normalauthor},
]

Uhm, am i blind? Sorry, but i can't find the thread you mentioned (searched in
the ml archives by the www.ntg.nl webfrontend). The only mail of Torge i've
found is his reply to this thread. Btw. I can confirm his statement, we do not
know each other (yet). ;)

Thanks, that worked just fine here! :) The red ones are wrong, i suppose, than
i set the interactive color to blue (by setting the color argument). Thats why
the rest is blue. Whats the difference of the "color" and the "contrastcolor"
argument of \setupinteraction? Sounds semantically equal to me.

Also thanks for this hint, it worked as imagined! Elegance is at the current
stage of writing not an issue, just finishing it.
Thanks for your help so far, i'am a step closer to my dreamsetup. :)

I traced the problem of getting annoying "\loadfontfilesoncetrue
undefined" messages down to the line 2936 in texexec.pl, sub RunMPX:
if ( ( $Format eq '' ) || ( $Format =~ /^cont.*/io ) ) {
RunConTeXtFile( $MpTmp, "tex" );
} else {
RunSomeTeXFile( $MpTmp, "tex" );
}
The first subroutine (RunConTeXtFile) is executed (as it should be),
but it calls TeX instead of "ConTeXt" (format) and I have no idea how
to change this behaviour. That's why all ConTeXt commands are
undefined.
The same is true for tex.rb, line 1442:
if context then
ok = RunConTeXtFile(mptex)
else
ok = RunSomeTeXFile(mptex)
end
It goes into the first part of the if sentence, but it nevertheless
runs (plain) tex. Except that in this time it was far from evident for
me where this RunConTeXtFile came from (I didn't see the definition
anywhere except if it calls Perl at that place).

Might be. I also heard from some latex people that they had problems
with pdflatex on some disks. It happened to me on two different
computers on two different distros (MikTeX, standalone). Some crashing
went away when I removed \setupoutput[pdf] from cont-sys.tex (but I'm
stil confused since there are two cont-sys files, one .rme and one
.ori. Which one should be used? They are identical, but why would one
want to have the same file at two places?)

Jan is setting up some server for student-to-student materials and integrated (most probably slightly fixed version of) WikiPDF into it (http://aluno.no-ip.info/juca/index.php/WikiPDF). This makes a LaTeX document out of wiki syntax and processes it to generate PDFs. He was impressed by ConTeXt and wanted to: 1.) integrate something similar to command on contextgarden while keeping functionality (can be done in ConTeXt too, most probably no need to keep LaTeX) 2.) perhaps change the mentioned WikiPDF to generate ConTeXt documents -> PDF (perhaps that could be done via XML as well?) 1.) I don't know if his demads/intentions changed inbetween, but I guess he was merely searching for some more help about how to set up something like "wiki.contextgarden". Patrick, I believe that more people would be interested in that anyway. You already described once what people have to take care of, so that the system is not exposed to hackers, perhaps you can put on one page on the wiki what you did in order to enable to work. LaTeX works by default(?) in wikimedia, while ConTeXt ... needs some promotion ;) 2.) I already heard from more people about such demand (you write in wiki & get PDF documents out of it, possibly composed from more pages). That would be an interesting project.

If you mean "can I recompile only page 3 and 4 out of my 100-page book and get the whole document" that answer is no I think. But there are other ways. > In presentations I only have separate pages (no index, numebr of pages, > etc) In such cases I usually split files and include them in a "master file", so that I can quickly and easily comment things out. \starttext \input chapter-one \input chapter-two \stoptext A more fancy way is to use projects/envionments/products/components. You can then compile separate chapters or all chapters at once without the need to change a single line in the source. They're described at the beginning of cont-eni.pdf. I wanted to ask something about projects/products in a new thread (I didn't notice how great they are until some days ago), but since I'm already talking about them here: Data about chapters, sections, references, ... are written into an auxilary file and have to be processed first before references, indexes, TOCs can work properly anyway: would it be possible to have an option not to process the auxilary files of single products but those of the master document (ie. of project) when compiling single products, so that cross-referencing, section numbering, ... would remain the same as if the whole project was processed together?

[NTG-context] bib question
Hello out there,
I use Taco's bib module and have a question concering
labels/numbering. In the text I use \cite[knuth:texbook] and want to
have a label like [1]. In the list of publications I have all bib
entries also labeled [1], [2], ... but the ordering in the textbody is
incorrect. The first citation in the text is labeled [6] while the
corresponding entry in the list of publications it is labeled [1]. The
number 6 probably comes from the bib database, where [knuth:texbook] is
the 6th entry. So, how do I get [1] both in the place where I cite
[knuth:texbook] and in the list of publications?
Thanks,
Patrick

What \cite style are you using? I can probably make something work
quickly for all but the authoryear(s) style(s).

Do you know Torge, by chance? He asked the exact same question
only yesterday. Same answer: That red that you see is the
'contrastcolor' for interactivity.
I'm not sure (yet) whether the red page or the blue page is wrong,
but here is how to solve the discrepancy:
\setupinteraction[contrastcolor=blue]
> 3. Vertical Spacing in \placelistoffloats:
>Is there a way to get vertical spacing in e.g. \listoffigures

At the end (or beginning) of a chapter, you can add:
\writebetweenlist[figure]{\blank}
I am not sure that is the most elegant way to do it, but it works
