[NTG-context] bibmod question
Hi I'm using the bibmod module with the 'ams' style (bibl-ams.tex). If I have two (or more) references by the same author, from the same year, in my bibtex database. The years are printed in the reference list as eg. 2000a, 2000b, etc., even if I only quote one of the. Since the 'ams' style is citing by number, there is no use for these additional letters. Is there a way to turn those off? Thanks, Peter ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

For very good reason. When a two-page spread is laid flat, it usually
looks best if the outer margins are both approximately equal in width
to the combined inner margins. The default layout takes that into
account.
While the binding of a book does eat some of the inner margin, it's
probably less than you think (IIRC, from ¼ʺ to ½ʺ, depending on
the
binding method), and often the print shop can correct for that. (If
you need to be exact, measure against a book bound where your book
will be and in the same method.)
It depends on the binding method.
The traditional margin sizes are only good for thread-stitching.
If your book's bound threadless (perfect binding, Wire-O etc.) your
inner margins need to be bigger (not always bigger as the outer, but
at least bigger than the traditional measures).
It's not only that the bookbinder mills away a few millimeters of the
page - you can't open a adhesive bound book as much as a thread-
stitched, so you need a wider gutter to be able to read the book
without destroying the binding. (Or in case of spiral binding the
holes for the wire need enough space.)
And if you need to send your PDF print-ready to your printshop (maybe
books-on-demand maker), there's nobody else who will correct for that.
Insofar the OP's question is well justified.
Even if he could have found the answer easily himself:
Of course you can define your page layout at will,
see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout
Well, the information here does not solv my problem completely.
The thing is, that while I do want the inner margins to be larger than
the outer, my description also implies that the odd numbered pages are
right pages, which is sometimes a requirement for printed books.
I have tried to define the margins following the Layout section of the
manual, but I can't figure out how to change that the odd pages are
assumed to be left pages.
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout
[backspace=4cm,
cutspace=2cm,
width=fit]
%\setuplayout
% [backspace=4cm,
% width=15cm]
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{\input knuth\par}

Thanks Wolfgang, this works.

[NTG-context] margins
Hi I'm typesetting a document to be printed in book format. For this purpose I need the left margin of an odd numbered page to be larger than the right margin, and the right margin of an even numbered page to be larger than the left margin.

In context I would very much like to use the intlimits feature from

[NTG-context] place figures at the end of document
Hi, Is there a way in ConTeXt to place figures (and other floats) at the very end of the document? More specifically I would like to keep on having to placefigure code at the relevant place in the text where I would normally typeset with the option [here], but sometimes readers want all figures moved to the end of the document and it would be handy if this could be done by changing a keyword. thanks, Peter ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Is

I just know that it didn't work the way I wanted. I use the version

[NTG-context] typesetting a formula as a figure
