[NTG-context] Bibliography issue (using \cite) and endnote typesetting

2014-07-14 Thread Rob Heusdens
Hello all,

I am working on a document (source=HTML) which has as an appendix a
complete Bibliography (which I did with BibTex, and works fine), but it
also has endnotes (after every \part) which (most often) reference the
Bibliography.

I did this now as simple endnotes and using the literal text of the notes,
since sometimes they do not refer to anything in the Bibliography,
therefore I would need to keep them as endnotes and not as cite reference.

But for entries that do, my question is:
- How to setup \cite so that it displays the fields I want (author, title,
address) in the style I want (title=italics).
- How to give extra information (like the page reference).

And how are notes with Ibid. (referring to a same cite as a previous
footnote) dealt with, is there any mechanism that does that (probably
not)?

Related to this I have also the following problem with endnotes.
I managed to get the notes in the text and where the endnotes are places
converted to diplay: [1] (instead of a superscript without the brackets).

But how can I configure it to have the same amount of identation for every
endnote text. The indentation is now different for notes starting with
[10], etc., and the footnote text lines are only indented the first line,
following lines starting non-indented. The overall effect I want is that
the endnote + endnote text look like being typeset as a tabulation.

How can one do that?

Many thanks.

Rob.

[NTG-context] Styling References

2014-07-14 Thread Malte Stien
Hi,

I need to style my references to SOME section/subsection/subsubsection 
differently. Here is an example:

\starttext
There are lots of animals such as \about[ducks] and \about[bears].
More about this can be found in Chapter~\about[introduction].

\chapter[introduction]{Introduction}
\section[ducks]{Ducks}
Some information about ducks...

\section[bears]{Bears}
Some information about baers...

\stoptext

I am happy for the reference to the Introduction chapter to be in regular type 
with quotes, but I would like to render the references to Ducks and Baers in 
italics without the quotes. Note, that I do not require for ConTeXt to pick one 
or the other style automatically based on the section (that would be pretty 
complicated, I suppose). I am happy to ‘hint’ it when I make the reference. So, 
for example, I am happy to replace the first like with 

There are lots of animals such as \animalabout[ducks] and \animalabout[bears].

...but so far I have been unsuccessful in creating such a \animalabout command. 
I looked at \definereferenceformat which gets rid of the quotes, but I can’t 
make it go italics. I also looked at \setupreferencing, but that seems to 
affect ALL \abouts.

Any clues?
Thank you,
Malte.

Re: [NTG-context] State of documentation of ConTeXt?

Hello G / all

I started using ConText about a year ago. But as a novice to Context
(and Tex in general) I can say is that this would be the first thing to
work on, because currently it is a bit of a pain to start using ConText in
any serious way, because there is a lack of up-to-date documentation.

The mailing list here does make a good contribution to explaining things
(I did not use it before, but while the Contextgarden was offline for a
while last week, this was the only place for getting needed info) that the
documentation and contextgarden wiki misses.

But I think a regular user would want to have up-to-date documentation,
and many examples worked out and a whole bunch of ready to use (well
documented) templates/start documents for all kinds of use-cases.

The contextgarden wiki often does not provide well enough information.

There are commands with over 20 different parameters, and the most of them
are not documented at all. So, a novice user can only use the commands in
a trivial sense, but for advanced use the command provides, there is no
documentation on how it is supposed to work.

This is a pitty, because the ConText distribution really offers a lot of
features one want for avanced typesetting jobs, but too often one wants to
understand the behaviour of some command or use the advanced options which
are provided, but can't because the documenation is too poor to make sense
of it.

To look in the source is not a a good replacement for that I guess (only
for advanced users which co-develop ConText).

Well at least the mailing list provides the answers one wants, but it
would be far better I guess if such information would be up-to-date on
contexgarden.

Can we make this a feature request with HIGH priority?


quite some sub-systems are described in their own manuals (fonts, 
tables, xml, ...) and these manuals are quite up to date (and easier to 
maintain than one big fat manual


also, additional documentation is something that users need to 
participate in (just pick a topic)


even if it has high priority, that doesn't mean that those involved have 
much free time left to do that next to their regular work (as usual most 
development is done in spare time)


so, patience is needed,

Hans


Hello guys,

I am restarting a book project I started a several years back. At that
time I set up a copy of another project I am working on in ConTeXt, so
with the products/environment/chapters structure, added Mac fonts to my
setup, using texexec for compilation.

Now that I am restarting, I am returning to ConTeXt. The first thing I did
was go to contextgarden and look for updated documentation. What I found
was the over 10-year old documentation (contextref.pdf) with green boxes
stating things like “TODO: Add some text about recent developments,
especially the split between mkii and mkiv”.

Is there up-to-date and reasonably complete ConTeXt documentation these
days?
