[NTG-context] Numbering of figures (was listoffloats question)
Hi Hans and Taco
Playing with figures and listings I detected the following:
(ConTeXt ver: 2006.08.08 17:52 fmt: 2006.8.8 int: english mes: english)
\mainlanguage[de]
\definefloat[SMUfigur][SMUfiguren]
\definefloat[BAINFfigur][BAINFfiguren]
Those floats are used together with the readily available figure-float
in the following structure:
\part{First}
\chapter
\section
...
\part{Second}
\chapter
\section
...
.
This structure is embedded in a project-structure. The figures are
loaded from a figure-library.
Now if the \completelistoffiigures, \completelistofSMUfiguren,
\completelistofBAINFfiguren are issued, each list gets correctly its
own incremental numbering.
However if the above defined floats are defined in order to inherit from
the figure-environment
\definefloat[SMUfigur][SMUfiguren][figure]
\definefloat[BAINFfigur][BAINFfiguren][figure]
then the numbering gets confused. i.e.. the first SMUfigur, which occurs
in the first part in chapter 2 gets numbered 2.0. instead of 2.15.
Further numbering in the second part gets even more confusing. The first
SMUfigur appears in the first chapter and gets numbered 1.-14, which
should be 1.9. The next figure, which is also a SMUfigur gets numbered
1.-13 instead of 1.10. This is repeated for the third SMUfigur: 1.-12
instead of 1.11 - Puzzling is the - sign.and the reverse order of the
number.
Could one of you please have a look at this?
Thanks
Willi

Re: [NTG-context] common counter
Hallo! I'll try asking my question a little bit different: With \setupnumber[formula] [number=davidsnumber] the origin formulanumber(what is its name?) will be overwritten and replaced by davidsnumber. But with \setupnumber[figure] [number=davidsnumber] the origin figurenumbering remains untouched and davidsnumber gets an additionl counter. So there are the following questions: - Why is this different behaviour? - How can I replace the figurecounter by davidsnumber such, that captions and figuretables will use this new counter? - Are the origin formula/figure-counters compatible with counters defined by \definenumber? Or are they other animals? Wolfgang ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] Typesetting Math
On Tue, 5 Sep 2006, Pepe Barbe wrote: I am curious about what does everyone around here uses for typesetting Math? Context, of course ;) Currently I know more LaTeX than anything else for that, but from what I gather to use ConTeXt in full extent I should typeset things directly in TeX or use MathML. Not any more. Context has full blown support for most math constructs. So far I've been some LaTeX-like stuff and it was worked fine, but know I want to do more complet layouts that would involve LaTeX style arrays to align equations in several lines. Context can do many complicated alignments. Right now Context has features equivalent to following latex environments equation, align, gather, alignat, falignat, array, cases, intertext, substack, matrix, pmatrix, bmatrix, vmatrix, Vmatrix, all sorts of arrows, it has partial support for aligned, gathered, it has experimental support for subformulas, tagging, breaking formulas across pages (Context's native way of doing subformulas is a bit different from latex's. Search the ML archives for something that works like latex's subformulas. Breaking formulas across pages is a bit tricky, since it is not clear what is the right place for a pagebreak in a display. Right now, Context can either do no break at all, or break at any line.) it has no support for smallmatrix, multiline, many small amstex enhancements. Most of the amstex enhancements are simple, and it is easy to add support for them. Right now, support is based on user requests, so if you want something equivalent to latex's xyz, explain what it does, and context will have that feature. What more can you ask for? For a bit of documentation have a look at http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.pdf and http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/matharrows.pdf There is also some explaination at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math_structures So, what would you guys would recommend? Start using context math. The syntax is a bit different from the way latex does things, but as in other things with context, the syntax makes configuration really easy. If you find that a certain feature is missing, ask on the mailing list. Hans and Taco have been very generous in adding new features on user requests.

[NTG-context] multiple bibliographies
Dear all (and esp. Taco),
in March 2005, there was a discussion about having multiple
bibliographies in one document, very much like with the LaTeX package
chapterbib. I may be missing something obvious, but I'm wondering
whether this is now possible with Taco's module.
Maybe a bit of background, and please tell me if you think this is a
stupid idea: every term, I have to prepare lists of references for my
several classes, and there usually is a lot of repetition and
overlap. So I'm dreaming of having one big bibtex database and
producing the lists via assorted \nocite commands. But i usually
split up these bibliographies into several sections, and I want all
items numbered in sequence, so I have in my source:
\section{One}
\nocite[myfirst] \nocite[mysecond]
\placepublications
\section{Two}
\nocite[mythird] \nocite[myfourth]
\placepublications
to get this output:
A. One
[1] myfirst publication
[2] mysecond publication
B. Two
[3] mythird publication
[4] myfourth publication
Is this reasonable? feasible? Or should I just use the old approach
and copy/paste the same references into \itemize lists? Help and
opinions appreciated!

Re: [NTG-context] 2DOWN imposition gives blank pages
I've mostly understood arranging but I cannot figure out how to make
2SIDE place a blank page (page 0, to not affect the page numbering) on
the left half of the first arranged sheet and carry on as normal. To
illustrate, where the enclosed numbers are the unarranged numbers:
p.1: | |1|
p.2: |2|3|
p.3: |4|5|
That way each arranged sheet (p.1,2, or 3) will be a spread from the
final book, plus one saves paper.
Gerben Wierda (12 March 2005) asked this question on the list, but I
did not see an answer so perhaps it is difficult. I looked at the
code in page-imp.tex and had hopes for \ejectdummypage but my
experments didn't work.
Also my hopes for a cheap hack also were dashed. I tried inserting a
\null\page[blank] before the \chapter{First chapter}. But with
doublesided pagenumbering, the chapter starts only on an odd page, so
the single blank page turns into two blank pages.
