[NTG-context] String single quote in \tt
Hi,
I just noticed that in the preprocessing manual, the single quotes
are wrong. Look at the output of
\starttext
\starttyping
let a = 'string' ;
\stoptyping
\mono{ let a = 'string' ;}
{\tt let a = 'string' ;}
\stoptext
The singlequote character is converted into rightquote. This feature
is also present in plain tex and Latex.
rightquote string rightquote does not look good in program listings.
Isn't there some way to turn off these intelligent quotes in \tt?

Re: [NTG-context] YABQ (yet another bib question...)
Sanjoy,
thanks for your rely. Of course you're quite right, this is the wau
to go, and it works. But my question was imprecise because I did not
mention what was causing the problem: I'm working with split
bibliographies and want to refer in chapter 2 to an item already
included in the biblio of chapter 2. If I just put a \cite command
somewhere, this item will be included a second time in the list of
chapter 2. So my question is: this item does already have a counter
attached to it. Is it possible to refer to this raw counter across
chapters? Like so:
Chapter 1
[1] main reference
Chapter 2
[2] another thing
[3] and yet another [reprinted in [1]]
without having [1] main reference repeated. This my very well be
impossible, I'm just wondering.
Thanks, and all best
Thomas

xampl.bib, which comes with old distributions of ConTeXt (e.g. teTeX

that it just incorporates the entire database, in which there are
several 1981 entries from Knuth?]

[NTG-context] index formatting
Hi all, there is a problem with index formatting (I'm using the latest beta, but have no idea if this was always the case or has been introduced recently). My index is in two columns (the default, I believe). If an item has several references, the lines doesn't break, but continues into the margin or into column 2. Lines do break after the en-dash at index ranges, so it looks like the space after the comma is non- breakable. It's difficult to make a minimal example for that, but what I see is this: Virgil 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 instead of Virgil 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Best Thomas ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Update ConTeXt + standalone distr (Windows)
With my new work computer I finally gave up on my old but working ConTeXt in TeXLive2004 and upgraded for good to the standalone distribution, run on hard disk. One of the new things I found in the Tools menu was the 'Update ConTeXt' command, so today, when I'm *not* in the middle of a urgent project, I decided to try it out. Good news: for the first time in my ConTeXting career, I managed to update my system without reinstalling the whole thing. And the very new ConTeXt version (today's?!) compiles my ever-important manuals without complaints. Somewhat bad news: without fiddling, the updating gets stuck at unzipping after downloading, because 'unzip' is not in the path and that's it then. So it is not quite on 'Windows dummy' level yet, although real close. Note, though, that the standalone distribution I use is about four weeks old, I might be complaining about something that's already fixed! How I solved it: just today, I dug out an old tool and learned that it ain't gonna work without cygwin. Installed Cygwin, dumped the tool in the bin directory - and realized, that my cygwin/bin also contained a file called 'unzip.exe'. Putting it (cygwin/bin) into my Windows path didn't help (not a recommendable operation for standard users anyway), but then I realized that 'standalone' really is standalone and copied 'unzip.exe' to where my ctxtools.bat lives, i.e. \ConText\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin - and presto, the update went through. It seems to me that it even generates formats on the fly, so with one mouse-click I can get the most up-to-date ConTeXt. How I think this might be solved: In the texmf-mswin\bin directory, there is a 'gunzip.exe'. If I remember correctly, gunzip is fairly simple to use, so this might just mean a change somewhere in the stand-alone package so update would use gunzip to unpack the update files. Or, as it seems to me that different types of 'unzip.exe's are public domain stuff, just include that in the standalone distribution and everything works (no other changes were needed, just bringing 'unzip.exe' into the correct directory. I really like the standalone distribution. Of the many ConTeXt variations I've used until today's date, this year's standalone has been the most Windows-minded and most Windows-friendly in many ways. It works out-of-the-box (has less options to uncheck than Word), seems to live happily even under C:\Program Files and has a logic that I as a non-programming Windows power user find easy to follow. I no longer need to refer to the manual to get as far as to compile a test pdf with standard postscript fonts, now I can concentrate on the layout, not the innards of TeX. So, even though there are slight blemishes and wrinkles to be ironed out like this update thing, ConTeXt in Windows is definitely becoming a nice package for those of us who find that Word just doesn't do what we want. :-) Mari ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Assuming that you have a document with simple structure (title, section, header, etc), and not too complicated floats (figures and tables), and you want pdf and plain text, I think that starting from xml is better. For simple tasks, html is sufficient. For more complicated tasks, you will need to define your own xml schema. In either case, you can get a pdf with all the bells and whistles by compiling the xml (or html) file using context. To get a plain text output, open your file in a browser and save as text (lynx --dump or links -dump will work if the file is html) to get a text output.

Taco,
thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't work (still produces an entry
in the bibliography), but it's not a big deal, these are very special
cases, and I can edit the bbl manually in order to get them right.
On a related note: all lovers of the bib module (and I know there are
many of them out there) may be interested to know of two nice things.
I found them out while I was switching my bibliographies to the new
system. So if you use the one and only editor, emacs, you may want to
try this:
1. reftex works with context! It cannot automatically determine the
database it is supposed to use (I have to look into the customization
again to see whether it can be taught to do so), but you can tell it
explicitly about your .bib file, and then, all the usual keybindings
work, you get a nice buffer where you can choose your references etc.
There was a discussion a while ago on the mailing list, and my
impression was it didn't work, so I was thrilled to see it did!
2. I discovered another nice little app that works within emacs. It's
called ebib. It is not very good as an editor for bibtex databases,
but it has a great tab-completion feature for inserting references
into your files. I tweaked it a bit so it would insert the proper
\cite[] and \nocite[] commands for ConTeXt, and it is the fastest and
most convenient thing I've ever seen. Maybe I should say something
about on the wiki?
Anyway, Taco, thanks for your help, and all best
Thomas

I would also prefer to have a switch --dvi which would skip the dvips postprocessing part. And an answer to those who were wondering if ConTeXt doesn't produce dvi by default. Yes, it did once. And still does if you're using the old perl script texexec.pl which is becomming more and more deprecated (and not supported any more anyway). The new texexec (texmfstart texexec.rb) should produce pdf by default, but it's mostly fault of (old) distributions, not your fault if you're still using the old scripts (you can influence that behaviour though). As far as I know only MikTeX 2.5 and Hans's standalone distros support that by default. tetex and Mac users still have to fix that by themselves if they want to switch to the usage of new ruby scripts.

Re: [NTG-context] YABQ (yet another bib question...)
Thomas, Is it possible to refer to this raw counter across chapters? Not sure -- it is beyond my ConTeXt bib module competence, but I hope one of the resident experts has an idea... -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Can someone suggest how to define this?
\def\doifoneelse#1#2#3{\doifelse{1}{#1}{#2}{#3}}
Thanks Peter,
I ended up using
\def\doifoneelse#1{\doifelse{#1}{1}}
which saves a few keystrokes :)
\def\doifoneelse{\doifelse{1}}
or
\def\doifoneelse{\doifelse1}
saves you even more keystrokes and also a bit of runtime (measured in
nanoseconds)

Re: [NTG-context] String single quote in \tt

Hi,
I just noticed that in the preprocessing manual, the single quotes
are wrong. Look at the output of
\starttext
\starttyping
let a = 'string' ;
\stoptyping
\mono{ let a = 'string' ;}
{\tt let a = 'string' ;}
\stoptext
The singlequote character is converted into rightquote. This feature
is also present in plain tex and Latex.
maybe \noligatures
Unless I misunderstood noligature, this does not work.
\pdfnoligatures\tentt
\tt a = 'string' ;
\bye
Still gives me rightquote.
