[NTG-context] bib module: multiple bibs and alphabetical order
1. Does t-bib now support multiple bibliographies? For past issues of the journal, I had to define a new bib-env file for each article that required a bibliography, otherwise the bibliography of, say, article two would include the bibliography for article one. Is there a general solution for this? 2. Can t-bib extract the references and place them in alphabetical order, or do I have to still organize my bbl files alphabetically by hand (I really hope not->)? Automatic alphabetizing bbl file data in the output has been one of my major wishes for t-bib. If the above two are solved I can use a single master bbl file for the entire journal instead of multiple files, thus streamlinig much of my workflow.

I cannot always repeat this though; seems capricious. Here are test files: =test-bib.tex=== % output=pdf interface=en \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setuppublications[autohang=yes] \setuppublications[numbering=no] \setuppublications[criterium=cite] \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] \input test-bib.bbl \starttext \cite[afghani60] \section{References}{\tfx\setupinterlinespace {\placepublications}} \stoptext ==test-bib.bbl== \startpublication[k=afghani60, t=book, a=Afgh\=an\=i, y=1960, s=] \author[]{Sa\high{c}\=id}[]{}{Al-Afgh\=an\=i} \title{Asw\=aqu \~al-\high{c}Arab f\=i \~al-J\=ahiliyya\~h wa \~al-Isl\=am} \pubname{D\=aru \~al-Fikr} \city{Damascus} \pubyear{1960} \stoppublication If the \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] line is commented, the problem disappears.

It's the same error as trying to “plot” the MP code 1; MetaPost is confused since it has no idea what to do with that number and tells you so. Since MP can handle more than just numbers, you get a slightly more general error message that talks about an “expression” rather than a “number.” What you can do is something like \starttext \startusableMPgraphic{sin} for x := 0 step 0.6282 until 6.282: drawdot(10*x, 10*sin(x)) withpen pencircle scaled 1pt; endfor \stopusableMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{sin} \stoptext Or, you can use the fact that in MetaPost you can build up an expression within a for loop as follows: \starttext \startusableMPgraphic{sin} draw (0,0) for x := 0 step 0.2 until 6.282: ..(10*x, 10*sin(x)) endfor; \stopusableMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{sin} \stoptext I think it really helps with MP programming to understand this type of loops.

Re: [NTG-context] Modules how?
Hi, From: Taco Hoekwater p-boris.tex Now you can start your documents with \usemodule[boris] This works when I put the module file in the same directory as my textfile. When the file is in the same dir as s-mag-01.tex, context can't find it. How can I achieve this? And where do I place the picture file (logo) needed in my module? Tanks again!

I used mptopdf in August and it worked at that time. I last updated ConTeXt (the package containing mptopdf) on 5th September (version 2005-07-27). This is the whole output when mptopdf is run for a simple mp file: --- E:\Temp>mptopdf filename -fmt=mptopdf: unknown option MPtoPDF 1.3 : filename.* is converted to filename-1.pdf --- The last statement doesn't hold (no file created at all). "filename.1" is OK and mptopdf also works perfectly with the standalone ConTeXt distribution, but not under MikTeX. The funny part is also this one (from mptopdf.pl): if ($miktex) { $command = "pdfetex -fmt=mptopdf" } -fmt doesn't seem to exist in MikTeX (any more?). I tried pdfetex --help, but didn't find any useful switches to compensate for "-progname=context" except "-alias", but I didn't know how to use it. I'm a bit lost. I noticed that the MikTeX package repository was updated in the last days, so I tried to update the system (for the first time in my life I've chosen to update only the context.cab since I'm working on modem), but now the most crucial parts keep crashing (initexmf, kpsewhich, ...), so I that I can't even work any further and thus can't check yet if the new package brings any changes or not.

[NTG-context] Foxit pdf tools
Dear gang, FYI: I just came across this alternative to Adobe Reader for Windows. Maybe it has features useful to some of us (e.g., it's very small)... http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php They have some other pdf products too: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/products.htm Best Idris Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] Modules how?
Boris Pedrofiets wrote: Looking at the files s-mag-01.tex and mag-.tex from the context distribution I created a file with layout and defs myself. My question: how can I use my-module? Rename the file you made, so the name starts with "p-" and ends with the extension ".tex", like: p-boris.tex Now you can start your documents with \usemodule[boris] Modules normally start with a single letter, followed by a dash. Context first looks for m-boris (a core system module), then p-boris (a user private module), then s-boris (a style module), then x-boris (dunno?), then t-boris (a third-party module), and finally (if nothing else works), in a new context distribution it will try boris.tex. Even if it works, using module names without a prefix is a bad idea, because it is very likely to create clashes with other input file names. Use "p-boris.tex" for your own files, and "t-boris.tex" for files you want to share with other people.
