[NTG-context] \documentvariable (used in environment)
Hello,
I have put the following in an environment
\startenvironment MYENVIRONMENT
\setupdocument
[metadata:title={\documentvariable{title}},
metadata:subtitle={\documentvariable{subtitle}},
metadata:author={\documentvariable{author}},
metadata:keywords={\documentvariable{keywords}}]
\stopenvironment

\environment MYENVIRONMENT
\startdocument [title={My title}]
\stopdocument
because, of course, the environment contains more than \setupdocument
such as font loading that should be done before the \startdocument.
The metadata does not get set properly, having to do with expansion or
other notions of TeX that I never seem to get right. What might be the
proper way of handling this?

No modes, no funniness in the environment file.
The test case works (Acroread/properties shows the Title, Author,
Subject, and Keywords fields). However, my real case does get the other
fields (Author, Subject, and Keywords) but contains in the Title field
the filename (without the .tex extension) of the main file (and
filename.tex under File).

The above example does work. It fails to set the metadata if one moves the \setupdocument
to an environment file. As you write, "everything has to be in the same file".
The requirement was only necessary for the example to check if the metadata end
up in the PDF file. You could have a environment file for \setupdocument but
the goal here was to check the resulting metadata in the PDF.
This is my question, how to set these using an environment file, thus NOT the
same file as the \startdocument in a project structure.
The problem is something in your environment/style file which causes a problem
with the \setupdocument setup. What you should do to find the sulprit is:
1. Make a copy of your document
2. Remove all text between \startdocument and \stopdocument and add some dummy
text (like in my example) to ensure ConTeXt produces a PDF
3. Remove setups from your environment (but keep the \setupdocument setup) file
until the metadata appears in the PDF
A typical case if something in an environment doesn’t work, but in a single
file: Are there modes involved? Maybe your \setupdocument is within a
\startmode ... \stopmode that doesn’t get activated.
Best, Hraban

It looks like a missing editor field should be caught. What should the
rule be?
Actually, @inproceedings should not be used without an editor - makes
no sense. If the author of the paper happens to be the editor, then the
.bib data file should define this with an editor= field.
We can change the behavior if a clear case can be made as to what
fallback would make sense. Keep in mind the dictum: "garbage in/garbage
out"...

I sent a simple fix to Hans that handles the missing editor, silently.
Someone who would want "Anonymous" or "unknown", or anything else can
always put editor="Anonymous", etc. in their .bib database.

If there is no publisher, then @unpublished is a better category. APA explicitly, and for good reason, accounts for self-publishing, indicating that the Author was the publisher.

In writing the ConTeXt bibliography system, we tried to base this on references, indeed following the original bibtex manual for its definitions. The APA style follows the APA style guide as best as possible. The APS style is intended as a simple example of a numbered bibliography minimalist style. Multiple other styles exist out there, more or less well defined. The problem is that most of them are not very rigorous, and they are greatly abused. Many publishers follow their own (quirky) bibliography styles. The Context system started out as sort of a database handling subsystem, useful in publishing. It is entirely tune-able, through setups and parameters. However, the system is complex, so the customization is not quite as easy as originally intended. Note that the original bibtex system was conceived in order to have this configurability, however few were those who mastered writing bibliography styles, and even carefully crafted styles, for example as implemented by the APS RevTeX, were buggy and had a number of known, serious limitations requiring manual intervention. We could, and have had the intention of, writing other bibliography styles. But there must be a motivation as well as a clearly defined specification, for otherwise we will be heading down a rabbit hole of differing expectations and endless tweaking. As to "don't care" concerning publishers, this is not very academic. Indeed, many famous books have been published by various publishers, in particular for different markets. It is important to say, for each one might be slightly different, have different pagination for example, and even certain edits of the text. One might also not pay attention to the edition, but this too can lead to major differences (even, and especially in computer science). Thomas Schmitz, one of the originators of the bibliography project, will tell you to take the APA style as a model, and then modify it as you wish to your own needs. I further took this to heart, trying to write the macros as somewhat standard definitions that one could modify as needed without breaking the entire system. And then there are clearly bugs that can be fixed. In the case of a missing publisher, it is not simply left blank because the APA style explicitly tells us to put "Author" when there is no defined publisher, so this is a feature, not a bug.

A snippet from the publ-imp-deu.mkvi:

In the setup and definition, the fields I defined do get into the
citation correctly, but the authorconversion remains 'normal'. If I
comment out the lines which set up 'normal' authorconversion for the
list, everything, including the bibliography and 'entry' type
citations get 'normalshort'. Is that a bug or am I missing something?
I am not sure that I understand your snippet (a mwe would be useful).
However, it appears that your setup is for the "list" rendering of a
book, and you do specify authorconversion=normal for lists.
Keep in mind that the bibliography system uses inheritance so it is
important to set options in the right places. Once everything gets
initialized, changing a higher-level parameter might not propagate to
lower-level instances if they have already been defined, the inheritance
taking place at definition time.

Specifying nothyphenated should not hyphenate, even at optional points.
The author can otherwise use hyphenated and arrange to help the words

Perhaps a new "optional" hyphenation point macro can be added that would

We can't use \= unless we drop the \= being macros (anyone using that?)

Betreff: [NTG-context] Different authorconversion for citation alternatives and
bibliographic entries
Hi there,
My university has special requirements for the theses I submit.
Layout, fonts etc. are pretty straightforward to set up in ConTeXt.
The one part I'm struggling with is citations / bibliography.
I have to use the german citation style with footnotes. Essentially the first
time I
cite something, I have to put the full entry in a footnote. From the second time
on, I only have to put a shorter entry in the footnotes.
Is this first citation vs other citations thing currently possible with ConTeXt? I was
thinking that there was no proper support for note style citations in ConTeXt? Has that
changed? I remember reading the phrase "We may add additional citation styles if
there demand and clear requirements exist." So what's the current state of affairs
here?
Denis
Indeed (one can always use \footnote{} but that might not be a good
substitute for a proper footnote citation style.
I do not use footnote citations as a general style (and personally
dislike it, finding them somewhat distracting and sloppy). Yet these are
popular in many fields and there is no reason not to support it.

First of all, come to a consensus on a clear style guide to base this
on, so as not to run after ambiguous and perhaps contradictory
specifications. This would be distinct from the APA (author-year) model
as well as from the minimalist APS (numbered) style. Could this perhaps
be the Chicago style? (does that have a footnote specification?)
Secondly, identify users who would be willing to spend time testing and
giving feedback.
Thirdly, motivate Hans and myself to spend time on this (implementing
or helping implement), for neither of us use the footnote style.
So it can be done, and such a model is presently missing.

That my *now* be history, but wasn't. What is clear is that (perhaps due to this legacy), many programs and packages do not expect to find filenames having many dots. Indeed, *some* filesystem specifications even use "." to delimit file system hierarchy (similarly like / and \). Lua also uses this in table specifications, as does MetaPost for token separation, not mentioning structures in C (and C++). The bottom line is that using "." in a filename is best to be avoided, as are spaces in order to avoid surprises. As to "nonsense" and "Windows bashing", give me a break!

[NTG-context] 16-bit png
Hello,
I am having problems including 16-bit png files in ConTeXt. In the following
example, red.png is a 800x600 image of red pixels. The resulting test.pdf
shows a BLACK rectangle. (The same problem exists with real images.)
However, I can produce the desired result with my installation under
pdflatex...
$ cat test.tex
\starttext
\externalfigure[red][width=\textwidth]
\stoptext
$ file red.png
red.png: PNG image data, 800 x 600, 16-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
$ texexec test
$ cat test2.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{red}
\end{document}
$ pdflatex test2
My distribution (debian + texlive) uses
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
in both cases.
Does this have something to do with \pdfimagehicolor?

Thanks for the very rapid answer.
However, no, neither of the proposed solutions work.
1. Of course, I tried "\pdfimagehicolor=1" without results before posting the
question. (I would NEVER think about asking for help without trying different
possibilities myself...)
2. "\setupcolors[state=start]" was also in my original file, but did not seem
to make a difference, so I posted a most simplified example.
What to do? I would think that there is something wrong with my configuration
(debian/unstable), however pdflatex works just fine.
Alan
(P.S. Why would one need to specify \pdfimagehicolor in any case; From a
user's point of view, shouldn't it just work transparently?)

Hi
Does adding \setupcolors[state=start] at the top of the context file help?

However, xpdf/kpdf/etc. do not handle 16-bit color, unlike acroread and ghostview. Note also that pdflatex automatically downgrades 16-bit color images to 8-bit.

Re: [NTG-context] colors in pgf within context
Hello,
Another problem with PGF+ConTeXt is the handling of cmyk colors:
\usemodule[tikz]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definecolor[my_yellow][c=0,m=0.3,y=0.94,k=0]
\starttext
\startcolor[my_yellow]
Yellow text.
\stopcolor
\starttikzpicture
\fill[my_yellow] (0,0) circle(1);
\stoptikzpicture
\stoptext
CMYK colors work in ConTeXt but do not get passed correctly to PGF/TikZ.
A work-around is to transform to rgb :
\definecolor[my_yellow][r=0.98,g=0.698,b=0.09] % 250,178,23 #FAB217
This seems to be a documented bug; Perhaps it will be fixed someday...

Hello,
Is there any mechanism to span ROWS in (\start)tables
similar to column spanning through \use{3}{}?
The aim is to produce a multi-row column entry

This mechanism spans COLUMNS not rows.
I would like to produce
-
|| b |
||---|
| A | c |
||---|
|| d |
-
using \starttables,
as can be done with:
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=lohi]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTC[nr=3] A \eTC\bTC b \eTC \eTR
\bTR \bTC c \eTC \eTR
\bTR \bTC d \eTC \eTR
\eTABLE
Note that:
\starttables[|c|c|]
\HL
\VL \VL b \VL\AR
\DC \DL \DR
\VL A \VL c \VL\AR
\DC \DL \DR
\VL \VL d \VL\LR
\HL
\stoptables
does not quite do the job,
since the aim is to put a tall object
"A" spanning the three rows.

This doesn't really answer your question
but may be of some related interest to the mailing list.
I am quite fond of pfg/tikz as a drawing package
that works rather well with plain tex, latex and context.
Asymptote is a similar tool, but it seems to be less portable.
However, it appears on the other hand to be much more powerful for 3D.
Neverless, I am sharing with this context list an impressive tikz example

Re: [NTG-context] Overlays as background in textbackground
Here is a trick (due to Hans, of course) to produce a watermark image.
You can play with the idea in order to produce your own effect.

\externalfigure [cow] [background={foreground,color},backgroundcolor=percent]

Perhaps (untested):

\definealternativestyle [SmallFont] [{\setbodyfont [8pt]}]
\definehighlight [BigSize] [style=BigFont]

Yes, and this appears to me to be the most logical behavior.
By the way, the use of such "low-level" font changes is not very good
style in any case, and should be limited to special cases. In
particular, this will not export well in tagged output to xml, for
example, which is why I suggest the use of styles and "highlight".

I get multiple hyperlinks for equivalent use.
You need to send a MWE.
In the case of bibliographies, a MWE can include the .bib dataset in a
buffer, as follows:
\setupinteraction [state=start]
\usebtxdefinitions [apa]
\startbuffer [bib]
@article{Author1:2016,
author={Author1},

@article{Author2:2015,

Hello,
You were/are using the old (mkii) bibliography system that depends on
bibtex. It has been replaced in mkiv by a new system no-longer using
the bibtex binary and does everything in lua. The wiki is outdated on
this subject and the new manual is almost/essentially finished.

Very, very poor mathematical style...
If you really want to use a variable "e", this would call for the use
of the function \exp() to be readable.

Yes. Consider:
\cite[righttext={{, p.~24},{, p.~xx}}] [Author:2016,Author2:2015]
The comma gets parsed (as always) to separate multiple right texts,
assigned here to each citation reference.
The solution to your problem is:
\cite[righttext={{, p.~24}}][Author:2016]
Alternately (if you find the {{ }} strange), you can type
\cite[righttext={\btxcomma p.~24}] [Author:2016]
The macro \btxcomma also takes care of spacing.

\usemodule[chemic] is MKII. It has been replace with core MKIV commands.
The syntax has been somewhat rationalized and many bugs corrected.
The example can be reproduced as follows:
\starttext
\startchemical [height=4500,bottom=2500]
\bottext{$\beta$-D-Fructopyranose}
\chemical[SIXFRONT,BB123,B4,+SB5,-SB6,Z6] [O]
\chemical[+LR12345,LRZ12345] [OH,\SR{HO},H,H,H]
\chemical[+RR12345,RRZ12345] [CH_2OH,H,\SL{OH},\SR{HO},H]
\stopchemical
\stoptext
Unfortunately, the revised manual still has some errors that I need to
fix...

A nagging question that I have always had about structure is that it would be rather nice if compiling a component that is part of a product could use the .tuc information from an earlier compiling of the entire product (if present) for numbering. Of course, modifying a component (such as a chapter) might or would have an effect on all other components of the product, but such is life. In a large book product, working on a single chapter would be useful, and getting the numbering at least close to correct is desirable.

Hi Henri,
eprint and archivePrefix are in no ways standard to bibtex.
But really, an eprint is NOT an *article* until it gets published, and
then it should be cited as an article and not as a preprint.
What you are looking for is a way to attach a label "arXiv:1607.04624"
to the url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.04624}, similarly to how a doi
is handled.
I can easily add the field arxiv to the "aps" rendering as it is
well-defined.
I can also add the field eprint (to be combined with the url field) as
in
eprint = {arxiv:1607.04624},
url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.04624},
as this use can be pretty general. But I do *not* like the
archivePrefix use of biblatex as it is a good example of bloat and
feature creep.
So I will modify the aps specifications to be used as
@unpublished{Kudryashov2016,
title = {Normal State of the Metallic Hydrogen Sulfide},
author = {Kudryashov, Nikolay A. and Kutukov, Alexander A. and
Mazur, Evgeny A.},
year = {2016},
eprint = {arxiv:1607.04624},
url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.04624},
}

Actually, correct usage *requires* you to give the published reference
and doi. The APS, for example, will accept manuscripts that have been
put on a preprint database, but the author *must* subsequently modify
the entry on the preprint database to give the published reference.
The howpublished field would be inappropriate for a published
@article{}.
An author can always choose to add a note, as in
note={preprint available as arxiv:1607.04624},
but this will not get hyperlinked to the url using the aps
bibliography specifications.
My suggestion would be to keep your (@electronic) entry in the .bib
file and to add the published version as a new @article entry. Then one
has two choices:
\cite[article,electronic]
that will generate two references, or
\cite[article+electronic]
that will generate a single reference. Note that (often?) the year
might differ (depending on when in the year and how long it took to get
published)!

Several comments:
1. \setupbtx [default:cite:righttext] [left={; }]
allows you to drop the semicolon+space in your righttext values, if
this is what you desire; [left=\btxsemicolon] can also be used.
2. \footnote{\cite[alternative=entry,after={ p.~1}][Berlant2011]}
allows you to include the full citation in the footnote, if desired.
This is the same as \footnote{\placecitation[Berlant2011]}.
(Note that this still requires the use of \placelistofcitations
somewhere in the text.)
The difference between "righttext=" and "after=" in a \cite is that the
first one adds the page reference to the citation reference and the
second adds the page reference to the end of the citation rendering.
3. The default style is extremely basic. One can setup the citation
reference numbers to be placed high like footnote references, if
desired.

However, the APA style goes even further: "Precede the final name in a multiple-author citation in running text by the word and.

Formally: "Invert all authors’ names; give surnames and initials for up to and including seven authors (e.g., Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C.). When authors number eight or more, include the first six authors’ names, then insert three ellipsis points, and add the last author’s name (see Chapter 7, Example 2). In text, follow the citation guidelines in section 6.12." "6.12 When a work has two authors, cite both names every time the reference occurs in text. When a work has three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time the reference occurs; in subsequent citations, include only the surname of the first author followed by et al. (not italicized and with a period after al) and the year if it is the first citation of the reference within a paragraph." So, indeed, the second citation should have Koch et al., but... Hans and I discussed this. It is a particularity of the APA style and can get really tricky to program if we are to respect the following part of section 6.12: "Exception: If two references of more than three surnames with the same year shorten to the same form (e.g., both Ireys, Chernoff, DeVet, & Kim, 2001, and Ireys, Chernoff, Stein, DeVet, & Silver, 2001, shorten to Ireys et al., 2001), cite the surnames of the first authors and of as many of the subsequent authors as necessary to distinguish the two references, followed by a comma and et al." It becomes messy: "When a work has six or more authors, cite only the surname of the first author followed by et al. (not italicized and with a period after al) and the year for the first and subsequent citations. (See section 6.27 and Example 2 in Chapter 7 for how to cite works with more than six authors in the reference list.) If two references with six or more authors shorten to the same form, cite the surnames of the first authors and of as many of the subsequent authors as necessary to distinguish the two references, followed by a comma and et al." So we set the etallimit to 5 and etaldisplay to 1 in citations and etallimit to 7 and etaldisplay to 6 in the bibligraphy list. If, by poor chance two references shorten to the same form, than you are out of luck for now!

Re: [NTG-context] [NTG-Context] Problem with \usemodule[graph] and El Capitan (mac OS)
No, this is a feature, not a bug! According to the original graph macros, the data files are kept open, and thus subsequent reads will pick up successive data sets in a single file. This is explicitly stated in the documentation. A consequence for us in ConTeXt mkiv, where the metapost code is called in multiple passes, is that one must explicitly close the data file if one does not want this feature. This, too, I documented. So don't break John Hobby's code by removing the saved.

Re: [NTG-context] Overfull boxes in bibliography
Hello,
It turns out that "alignment" of the bibliography lists does not take the
document global settings, but rather, like in other cases such as a framed
environment, alignment is reset to the default value: strict alignment does not
give the best results for the bibliography list rendering, so I have now set
this is the various style specifications to be "{verytolerant,stretch}".
Awaiting that this correction be propagated, one can add
\setupbtxlist
[aps] % for example
[align={normal,verytolerant,stretch}]
in your setup. There should then be no need for overfill boxes.

This follows on the switch from gcc to clang that took place with the introduction of FreeBSD 10.0.

We now take care to provide binaries compiled under FreeBSD 9.3 on the garden, at least until this version gets phased-out at the end of the year. https://wiki.freebsd.org/NewC++Stack Mac users should note that MacOS closely follows similar developments as FreeBSD. (TEXLive, being even more conservative, distributes binaries compiled under FreeBSD 7.3.) Alan P.S.

Re: [NTG-context] integral symbol
Hi Hans, Hi list,
This is similar to what we have discussed earlier on this list and
elsewhere regarding \over vs. \frac. (I agree with Knuth that {a \over
b} is *much* more readable in running source code than \frac{a}{b} but
have resigned myself to use \frac{}{}, as this can be made better
behaved and gives a much better result.)
Other traditional TeX constructs like \int^a_b have their charm (and
need to remain supported, just like is \over), but I support
introducing and encouraging the use of new constructs like your example
below. An alternative syntax (that could co-exist) would be admitting
$\left\int ... \right.$, but I do not know what limitations there might
be with both the (luatex) engine and with ConTeXt.
The problem with extensions, like always, in straying from traditional
TeX is interchangeability of code, or, more importantly, in the
learning curve obstacles that this introduces to traditional TeX (and
LaTeX) thinking. I know that at some level we do not care, for we often
make (good) design choices that improve the syntax of ConTeXt.
Perhaps we can use this thread to discuss other cases (like \sum, ...)
that present difficulties and then decide on good solutions.
Just a suggestion.
Alan

IM will apply a default interpretation of 72dpi unless you override it (e.g. -density 300x300 -units pixelsperinch)." Testing: convert original.tif -rotate 45 rotated.png keeps the original density. 1) original.tif was 6000x6000; rotated.png is 8488x8488 (2400dpi) 2) converting to rotated.tif fails convert: TIFF: negative image positions unsupported rotated.tif @ error/tiff.c/WriteTIFFImage/3609. 3) converting to rotated.pdf does produce a much reduced resolution image. Indeed, PDF is container, not the best format for manipulating bitmap images. I take two approaches to this: 1) I manipulate/modify the images explicitly "upstream" before including them in ConTeXt, using any of my favorite tools; or 2) I manipulate/modify the images using MetaPost, within ConTeXt. This gives very satisfactory results and does not rely on ImageMagik.

This means that code can fail if variables, for example, are not properly initialized (or re-initialized). Another example is reading from files in MP, as the file descriptors are kept open by default, reading on from where one stopped in a previous run.

Using the mkiv publications mechanism, you can get short \cite keys by default using \setupbtx[alternative=short] Individually, you can use \cite[short][yourkey] Then you will also have to modify the bibliography list rendering to display the short key. This is slightly more complicated, as presently only the APA and APS styles have been predefined, the first being an "authoryear" scheme and the second being a "num" scheme. Starting with the APS style: \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \definebtxrendering [mystyle] [aps] % inherits from "aps" [sorttype=short, numbering=short] \cite[...] ... \placelistofpublications[mystyle] However, you really want to define a complete style for your rendering.
