 My thinking was that it put a blank before and after, but now I am  
 not sure.

It is my understanding that the baselinecorrection environment
makes sure that its contents fit on a whole number of grid lines,
then inserts any skips [#1] before and after.

Re: [NTG-context] sometxt vs textext behaving different

 Metapost problem: It seems that sometxt and textext behave different.

Yes, they are different. sometxt only works for TeX-only labels.
If you need a MetaPost variable in the label, you have to use textext.

[NTG-context] PDF bookmarks problem

2006-07-17 Thread Richard Gabriel




Hello Hans,I've noticed a problem with PDF bookmarks when the particular chapter/section titles contain non-ascii characters and/or XML entities. I suppose some "expansion" mechanism should be added (like for the index entries)...Attached you'll find two test files demonstrating this problem.Thanks,Richard

 Incidentally, the reason I am using the LaTeX syntax is that we are 
 translating LaTeX code into Context automatically using a perl

Aditya is in more or less charge of the specification/tryout part of the math

that the two of you come up with specs

[NTG-context] tempdir support in texexec.rb

2006-07-17 Thread Matthias Wächter
Hi,

Naively, I thought that the --tempdir option would allow the 'temporary' files 
created/updated at a run of texexec be written to whatever is given as 
--tempdir=/dir/, but it doesn't work, the files remain in the current 
directory. Additionally, --output seems to disallow the output be put into 
another directory (it's always put into `pwd`).

Is there a (better?) way to specify where these files should go?

What I'd expect is a directory layout like the following:

files/
  onesource.tex
  env.tex
  othersource.tex
  project.tex
  out/
  project.pdf
  tmp/
  project.tmp
  project.log
  project.tui
  project.tuo
  mpgraph.mp
  project-mpgraph.mp

as a result of

$ cd files/
$ texexec --pdf --tempdir=tmp --output=out/project.pdf project

Is /me the only one who desires such a split?

This one is a case of NIY: If you really need interactivity, use

   \setupcite[authoryear][compress=no]

for now. I'll fix this in the next feature release (not impossible,
but needs a fair amount of juggling with \commalist-lists).

This is a bug introduced by the new reference system that I will
fix soon (hopefully tomorrow). If I am not mistaen, \cite[url]

That maes absolutely no sense at all. Do you have a minimal

currently not, an option like that is doable but would involve both an 
patch to context itself (runtime locating files) and texexec 
(inbetween/postprocessing) [pretty fuzzy btw]

if it's because of the temp files. you can run with --purge and get them 
removed

That is fine with me, (I think) I won't have one author with several
years thus compression is not important in this case.

 \cite[doi][Slater1954] shows something like
  [Slater195410.1103/PhysRev.94.1498]
  rather than 10.1103/PhysRev.94.1498
Ups, this is seemingly a bug in my environment file (which I recycled
from 2004). One definition clashes with t-bib.tex's gotoDOI. But there
is nontheless a bug (see below).

 Has anyone an idea what goes wrong here:
\def\onlinecite[#1]{\cite[left=,right=][#1]}
 [...]
\onlinecite[myRef] % does not work, shows []
 Logfile: publications : warning: cite argument myRef unknown on 109
 
Hmm, I don't know why, but this part works now :-/
I should definitely better test.

However, I still have some problems (see attached testcase):

\setuppublications[alternative=apa]

\cite[author][Slater1954] % produces ()

\cite[year][Slater1954] % produces ()

\cite[...][Slater1954]  with ... key, serial, page and type produces
[] (some might be ok, though)

\cite[doi][Slater1954] % produces [  http://dx.doi.org//1498];
with superfluous space and DOI-URL not DOI.
Expected: shows 10.1103/Phys not http://; ...
(The superfluous space disappears when using
\setupinteraction[state=start].)

And using \setuppublications[alternative=aps], I find:

Looks in principle ok, except for the same [doi] as above.

-

I have another feature with for \cite[author*][...]: I'd like to limit
the displayed name to the family name of the first author. Currently, I
have:   (Firstauthor and Lastauthor,1954) or (Firstauthor et al.,2005),
however to save space I'd like to have only (Firstauthor,2005). I see
andtext, otherstext, but miss the authoretallimit, which I would set to one.

Frankly, I have never seen references of the form (Several authors,
year); I do know, however, references of the form several authors
(year). Does APA really uses several authors for authoryear? The name
suggest not, only for authorsyear I would expect it.

If you default to one author for authoryear and author, I'd not mind
to have a authors beside author.
