Taco, just so you don't think nobody is interested in your new beta: I dlded it today and played with it, but had to revert to the old version because it somehow did not honor the modifications I made to \setuppublicationlayout (I was getting some default instead of my own version, and th

Re: [NTG-context] Beta bib module release

Hi Taco, disregard most of what I wrote yesterday: most of your new module is working fine, thanks so much! Haven't tested the new features yet, but will very soon. I'm especially thrilled by the \cite[right=] command and hope it works! One major (but probably easy-to-fix) problem is that

Re: [NTG-context] Beta bib module release

Taco, one more question: \completepublications produces a title "References" and formats it according to the chapter-heading, but doesn't write it to the list for the TOC, or am I missing something? Best Thomas ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-co

[NTG-context] Couple of index questions/bugs

I have a couple of index questions and bugs to report. Here comes: 1. When I use newtexexec, the sorting disregards an initial capital letter, sorting Hans under a; 2. Again in newtexexec, \seeindex is broken. The outpput it produces is see XXX, :0]-, and it gives an error message that I ap

[NTG-context] Anchoring layer

I'm trying to write a module that will mimick the behavior of crop.sty in LaTeX (providing fancier cropmarks than the ones given by the ConTeXt \setuplayout command). I'm done with the code for the cropmarks, and this is working fine. Now I want to have a status line in between the two top

Thanks for your suggestion, but I didn't get it to work. In the end, I had recourse to some low-level stuff (caution, ugly code ahead!): \defineoverlay[info][{\getbuffer[info]}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={info}] \startbuffer[info] \vbox to \paperheight \bgroup \vskip -1 cm \fra

[NTG-context] getvariable

I thought I had understood at least some aspects of macros, but it turns out I'm as lost as always. Here's my problem: I'm writing a module which will have a \setupcommand. The value is given in a [key=pair] list, so I thought I could use \getvariable. What I have is \def\setupcommand{\setv

Peter, thanks for your help yet again! On Oct 6, 2005, at 12:01 PM, Peter Rolf wrote: This should work. OK, so I'm not completely off the mark... The only thing that is missing, is a call (at the end of \setupcrop) to a separate routine (based on your \doifelse construct), which sets up the

Re: [NTG-context] getvariable

Yes, I'm usually prone to making this kind of mistakes. But if I put exactly the same \doifelse in my TeX file (instead of in the module), the correct value is returned. I also thought there was no trickery involved, but it looks like the key is assigned its value only after the module has

You'll need to do 2 things: in your texmf.cnf, you have to set shellescape to "t" (don't ask me where that is located on a windows system, I have no idea). In cont-sys.tex, uncomment these two lines: \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue Good luck Thomas On Oct 7, 2005, at 12:03 PM,

[NTG-context] font scaling in typescripts

This may be a bug, or I may be missing something... I have defined a typescript for my Adobe Garamond, and I want Courier as the monotype font accompanying it. Since Courier is a bit too big compared to Garamond, I want to scale it down, so I have this line in my typescript (yes, I have ada
