Xenia Yes, I thought about that, of course, but did not put it forward because to do it properly the correct numeric rounding/significant figures rules should be applied, and that I guess means the Lua code needs to interpret the number, rather than just treat it as a sequence of digits. However if the Lua code did interpret the number into an internal format it would enable other things like normalisation to scientific or engineering form, etc. However the internal format would have to support arbitrarily long numbers and exponents ... Lua's built-in internal number format (a double precision float, I think) would not do, so there would be a bit of coding involved.

We can already have different mapping sets so spacing could be part of that. I don't personally have a need for units in the foreseeable future (I was just nitpicking with Robin about spacing) so feel free to ignore any of my suggestions, but I think the summary so far would be: 1. Spacing for almost all SI units should be the same and doesn't need special cases. 2. Geographical degrees/minutes/seconds should have no spaces. 3. Spacing for degrees temperature varies according to different style guides -- both before and after the ° -- so ideally it would be possible to set these independently of the rest of the units. For my own part I would add: 4. SI unit abbreviations are mostly capital letters, and look (to me) strange with old-style figures. I have seen books which used old-style figures for page numbers, years, etc. but switched to lining figures when a unit was involved; this is also what I did in my thesis. So I think it would be useful to allow an automatic switch to lining figures to be configured when typesetting a unit. Pont I agree on points 1 and 2 (although it seems arcminute and arcsecond are not implemented anyway). Point 3, yes, but I'm dubious about space after ° for the temperature units °C or °F as it breaks the rule about unit ambiguity (° C is a degree-Coulomb -- although I can't image a physical situation that would need such a unit). Point 4 is a bit beyond the scope of the SI units scheme but sounds like a potential need.

[NTG-context] \unit and Hertz, lux, and degrees/minutes/seconds
Dear Hans,
Many thanks for implementing space=small in \setupunits. It works nicely for me.
However in the latest beta, Hertz is typeset as hz not Hz. It looks like the
problem is line 154 of phys-dim.lua (it was typeset correctly a couple of days
ago).
Also the symbol for lux (line 198) should be lx [2].
Degrees, minutes and seconds of arc (also degrees Celsius) are an exception and
are not supposed to have any space between the digits and the degree symbol
[1], so to be correct, I think Context should by default veto any space between
digits and numbers, in these cases only.
BTW, NIST has a handy reference for anyone typesetting physical quantities [1],
although the BIPM documentation is the canonical reference.

In our lab we have both TeX and Word users. Many of them had been using a DOS package called papyrus, using a special markup that could be translated to tex (.bbl) files. Nothing we found was really satisfactory, so we bought EndNote, which could import from papyrus via refer format and can export to almost bibtex. One problem is that EndNote uses unicode, so we end up with è, etc. that must be translated for some user's versions of bibtex. The database now has a nearly infinite variety of different quote marks: `a`, 'a', ``a'', a, etc. depending on how the entry was made (many are pasted from online or pdf sources). EndNote is really designed for individual users, although sold in bulk. If 2 people open the same database on a shared drive they end up with a corrupt database. In my view, a bibliographic database needs to store each reference in the source or original format, whether bibtex, refer, or one of the newer forms, and provide translators and version tracking, so each file can have forks for different uses (e.g., ascii vs unicode char. sets) and edits can be preserved for the next user. In practice, people just dump selected refs to a bib file, make the .bbl file, and fix problems there, so fixes rarely make it back to the master database. If they did, we would still have accents and quote marks being switched back and forth depending on who last used the entry. Thanks George. EndNote is I believe the corporately-approved solution here, and similar disasters occur when people try and share its data files. For this reason I don't call these sorts of personal-level programs databases (any more than I'll call a .bib file a database). The TeX folk don't fare much better. Multiple personal .bib files are common, often with duplicate references but different citation keys, leading to rather variable results depending on who run LaTeX/ConTeXt on the file. Inconsistency in data entry is also a problem, although for us, accents and quotes don't seem to too big a problem. (`Authorless', i.e., corporate author documents, like data sheets, seems to be more of an issue). For this reason I'm looking for a proper SQL database solution like refdb or refbase (or maybe wikindx, thanks Andreas) with a web front- end that will hopefully enforce somewhat more consistent data entry, and maybe even auto-generate citation keys.

Re: [NTG-context] Module for svn info
Hi Ernesto,
hi Robin,
thanks for your replies.
The thing I like most with your solution is that svnversion provides a
modify flag, so I can see whether all changes have been cheched in.
Great.
A little drawback is that all files under the current path are used to
determine the version. If theres a file in the path which is not part
of the document changes to this file will also change the revision of
the document. But I think this can be easily prevented by placing
every document into an own directory.
What do you think of using:
\def\SVNVERSION{svnversion -n svnversion.tex}
\ifeof18
\installprogram{\SVNVERSION}%
\else
\executesystemcommand{\SVNVERSION}%
\fi
That is nicer of course ... I just do it outside the document in a
Makefile because I'm used to doing that sort of thing.
I imagine the only uncompromised way to extract an svn revision (or
revision range) that covers the whole document accurately is to write
a script that extracts the source file names from the previous
logfile (or somewhere), individually determines their revision using
svn status (to get modified status), and constructs an overall
result. I guess some embedded Lua could do that pretty easily and
portably. It would also catch files that are often outside the
immediate document directory (in particular, bib files).

update the numbers.
This is not true. The complete name of $Rev§$ is
$LastChangedRevision$. It's the revision of the last change to this
file.
Quite right, my apologies. An svn update does however alter the
output of svnversion, for instance if it indicates a mixed revision
(1234:3456), after an update it will be just 3456.

Re: [NTG-context] Module for svn info
Hi Markus,
If your sources are in svn, then they actually have the same svn-
number, after a commit. But the numbers in the $Revision$ or $Id$ tags
of your working copies are not updated by svn commit. However, if you
do an svn update after the commit, it should update the numbers. So,
you shouldn't need to work out the maximum value.
Here, we actually use the output of the svnversion command, save it
automatically it in a file, and include it in the document. This way,
the version number indicates if the document came from checked-in
sources, modified sources, or mixed revisions. We don't have a module
to do it, just a
svnversion svnversion.tex ; texexec document.tex
in the Makefile, and on the document front page somewhere
\doiffileelse{svnversion.tex}{
Subversion revision
\ignorespaces \input svnversion\relax \removeunwantedspaces .
\crlf
}{}
Cheers,
Robin
Hi Aditya,
thanks for your reply. It's a good starting point.
One thing is missing in this solution.
Our documents are structured into several files.
Every file has an svn-version. So I want to
calculate the max version.
Do you know a small example where a max value
is calculated. I would try to integrate it into
the other example.
Kind regards,
Markus

Re: [NTG-context] page numbering in words?
Hi all,
There are still a few problems with \numstr when you get beyond the
hundreds. Perhaps this is unlikely when it is a page number, but I
was interested in using this macro for contracts, where an amount of
money is often written out in words.
\input numstr.tex
\starttext
\numstr{-1}\par
\numstr{0}\par
\numstr{101}\par
\numstr{1001}\par
\numstr{101}\par
\numstr{1200021}
\stoptext
This produces output:
null
null
one hundred and one
one thousand one
one millionone
one million two hundred thousand twenty-one
which should be:
minus one
zero
one hundred and one
one thousand and one
one million and one
one million, two hundred thousand and twenty-one
In English, the tens/units (if not zero) should be preceded by and
if the number exceeds 100 (so 101 is correct in the above output).
This applies whether the tens/units is truly tens/units, or is a
thousands or millions multiplier (12 = one hundred and twenty
thousand).
The use of a comma after millions and sometimes thousands is helpful
but not essential, and it only appears in certain cases. I'll have to
think a bit more about a rule for that!
The use of a hyphen between tens and units (twenty-one) is not
incorrect but is nowadays probably regarded as a little old-fashioned
(but personally, I like it).

Robin

Hi Wolfgang,
Many thanks for you help. I solved this problem by simply
\setuplayout[%
... ,
leftedge=20mm,
rightedge=20mm]
\setupheader[after=\hrule]
It seems that if you give only one argument to \setupheader, it
applies to the whole header, including the left and right edges. So,
I just extend the edges off the page (or anywhere I need -- I don't
use the edges for anything else).
I'll use your \vrule idea to control the line thickness, although the
\hrule default is about right anyway.
Thanks,
Robin
Moreover, how do you get a rule in the header that extends from the
left of the left margin, right across to the right of the right
margin (including the gaps in between)?

[NTG-context] Bib module and prefix=+
Hi,
How can the bib module and \setuphead[chapter][prefix=+] be made to
coexist? The following example works, but if you uncomment the
\setuphead, the citations are broken and the reference list vanishes:
\setupoutput[pdftex]
% uncomment this line and it breaks
%\setuphead[chapter][prefix=+]
\usemodule[bib]
\usemodule[bibltx]
\setupbibtex[database={xampl.bib}]
\setuppublications[refcommand=num]
% makes no real difference
%\setuppublicationlist[title=\chapter]
\version[temporary]
\starttext
\chapter[chapt]{A Chapter}
Some citations: \cite[article-full] \cite[inbook-full] \cite[manual-
full].
This is chapter~\in[chapt].
\completepublications[criterium=all]
\stoptext
Any help much appreciated!
PS: The following old mailing list article appears to describe the
same problem, but the symptoms are different (citations disappear,
but reference list does not)

[NTG-context] Default preference for float location
Hi,
I'd like to set up floats (figures, tables, etc) so they float to the
bottom of the page, by default (as if you always wrote \placefigure
[bottom][...]{}{}). There does not seem to be an option to
\setupfloats[] that will do this, or have I missed something?

[NTG-context] Long and short captions
Hi again, Is there a way in ConTeXt to have long and short versions of a figure caption, as one can in LaTeX? The long caption is placed with the figure, the short one for the list of figures. Thanks, Robin ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
