[NTG-context] Custom function
Hello,
I'm rather new to ConTeXt and would like to simplify my document, in
order to simplify processing of documents.
I have this:
\defineparagraphs[infos][n=1]
\setupparagraphs[infos][1][
style={\switchtobodyfont[6pt]},
%command=,
]
\starttext
\startinfos
\smash{\lower22pt\hbox{
\margintext[left]{
Edition de Trilogie de l'enfer en novembre 2011 chez Sens
Tonka
}}}
\stopinfos
\input tufte
\stoptext
I would like to avoid putting \inmargin and
\smash{\lower22pt\hbox{... by hand and add it directly to the
setupparagraphs.
Can I do such a thing?
Thanks for help!
Stéphanie

[NTG-context] testing TeX Live 2011
Hello, apart from a pending fix for TeX Live installer (shell script install-tl) which writes out a proper texmfcnf.lua based on what user enters as his/her preferences for locations of TEXMFHOME etc. (if you don't touch any settings, this is not too important and if you do, you can manually fix the file) and some yet-to-be-made decision about when to run 'mtxrun --generate (which you can also ignore and simply run mtxrun --generate by hand), ConTeXt in TeX Live 2011 should work now, thanks to all the effort that Taco in particular has put into this. If anyone is willing to help to work on man pages, please feel free to volunteer (context man page has already been committed, mtxrun not, but both of them need more input). The following is the list of modules. If you miss any, it is now the best time to ask.

Re: [NTG-context] undefined control sequence bug with German umlaut in bibliography
I can also add that in the first case with the author name Träger, the
generated bbl-file looks messed up and (Notepad++ doesn't recognize the
encoding as UTF8. Changing the encoding to UTF8 manually shows the complete
names Träger correctly, but the abbreviations (what should have been
Trä06) seem to be messed up.
I'm not familiar with the intricacies and details of UTF8 encoding, but is
it possible that there is a byte missing from the ä which has been cut off
during the abbreviation process?
The abbreviated Trä06 seems to be incorrectly encoded (in hexadecimal) as:
54 C3 A4 30 36,
while it should be: 54 72 C3 A4 30 36.
So in the abbreviation process, the encoding of some characters over several
bytes seems to be neglected.
I attached the bbl-files for both cases to this e-mail, since I don't know,
what would happen to the encoding, if I just pasted them as plain text here.

And yes, I read every single letter of the complex xml manuals. I also agree that people no doubt have many other things to do, including myself. Anybody working with Context and TeX must bear in mind that his problems will not be solved immediately, that knowledgeable people will voluntarily look into questions and problems, depending on their time and their interest in specific problems. However, on the other hand since docbook is a very well known and therefore attractive standard, and most problems in xml can be described quite straightforward. As a result the problem of typesetting cals tables cannot be depicted as a 'specific user case'. After all, there is a module cals tables, and it is expected to work. The problem was: how can I typeset a cals table with a minimal installation? Comparable to: how do I typeset a header? What settings are needed apart from the module? This should not be a 'complex' problem. My conclusion remains that the knowledge on xml is not widespread, that those who possess the knowledge do not always have time to help, and as a result my problem was not solved. For the record: note that my problem was not of the type: how to discard the nth line of a cals table? How to color the header of a cals table? Or how to only typeset cals tables with id=abc.

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

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.

Start by staying away from pagedir and bodydir (I thought that I'd

I think I'll go for the piping option then, which seems to be the easiest
way out.
Thanks for the insights, I didn't actually know much about the interplay of

Even when i have the list it won’t always help you because the reference is only a list with all valid keys and values but it doesn’t explain the meaning of them and how they need to be combined to have a certain output.

Robert's trouble with the cals table could have been resolved if there were a user option to set (or disable) the cals namespace. Well, I added cals: to all tags for ConteXt purposes (tbody, entry become cals:tbody, cals:entry, etc.). I examined what Hans' example tables look like. After the changes, the structure was still that of a cals table, the word cals had been added to each tag, but after this adapation to some particular ConTeXt requirements, the tables in fact could not be called cals tables anymore. The file did no longer comply with the docbook dtd. I didn't mind that much. Predictably, though, my docbook editing software started complaining. The tables were not rendered in the preview anymore. This was a relatively minor problem. I don't know whether Aditya's suggestion would have helped.

Don't ask me why \define doesn't work (certainly related to
expansion), but \def does the job:
\def\abs#1{\lvert #1 \rvert}

Re: [NTG-context] math: command for absolute value: `\define\abs[1]{\lvert #1 \rvert}` throws `\lvert -\Udelimiter`.
Hi
I think the error comes from your way of using \define: you use
\define\abs[1]{\lvert #1 \rvert}
instead of
\define[1]\abs{\lvert#1\rvert}
the following works fine for me:
\starttext
%\define[1]\abs{|#1|} % this works
\define[1]\abs{\lvert#1\rvert} % this works too
$\abs{-1} = 1$
\stoptext
Best regards: OK
