May I ask a newbie question? How did you create the lemmas?
Hello,
today, lemmas can be based on description/enumeration mechanism (I believe
it's been in ConTeXt since circa January 2006).
Descriptions now accept parameter title=yes. Using that, you can provide a
title to the description. Have a look into core-des.tex.
I found a mysterious startlemma in core-des.tex via the ConTeXt
garden source browser but
Naturally, the example of lemma definition is commented out ;)
Copy
\defineenumeration[lemma][title=yes, titlestyle=\bs, list=lemma]
into your document and try to use
\startlemma{title of the lemma}
blah blah
\stoplemma
Check parameters of descriptions in the manual, you can find some options
related to the title mechanism.
Yours,
D.A.
P.S.: I've achieved the same functionality by means of ugly hacks that
depend on ConTeXt version strongly. That's why I don't send you my
configuration.

[NTG-context] Bibliography problems
Hello,
I have several problems with the bibliography module in last stable
(2005.12.19).
You can find a minimal (well, as minimal as I was able to prepare ;)
example at http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xantos/biblio-example.tgz .
First, starting with the second page of bibliography, the beginnings of
lines are not aligned to the left.
Moreover, some entries produce an empty line after them. It seems probable
that some unwanted spaces appear in the macros.
In misc entries, only authors and titles are typeset. See the very first
entry cited in the document (Ha\v{z}muk): it contains howpublished and
month and they are ignored. BTW, is the \cite inside the bibliography entry
likely to work?
Can I correct my setups somehow to override those problems?
Thanks a lot,
D.A.

yes, it works great!
Last I checked, \cite within the biblist typesets correctly,
but it does not actually make the record appear in the list
unless it is also cited elsewhere.
Great, it's pretty reasonable.
Two minor issues:
I've included URL's into notes in bib file in the following format
note = {\useURL[http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/]
[http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/]
\url[http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/]}
It used to work well, with the latest version, the finishing ']' gets
typeset. I've tried to surround the fiinal \url macro with {} but it does
not work.
And finally, I refer to bibliography in many chapters, so I need
\setuplist[pubs][criterium=previous]
in order to make the complete list. I refer to publications in the appendix
that is placed *after* the bibliography. The entry from the appendix is
not typeset by \placepublications.
What is the correct \setuplist in this case?
Thanks a lot,
D.A.

the politically-correct way of obtaining the 4.3 number?
Second: I want some of the definitions to have names (to appear in the

1. globaly defines a macro for the content of the name
2. the old \startDefinition will typeset

into the list, both by means of hooking into inbetween.
Is this simple enough or is there a better way to do this? BTW, is it
reasonable to enrich enumerations with the possibility to create lists and
with names? What would be great for things like definitions and lemmas is
something that combines descriptions (that have names but no numbering) and
enumerations (that have exactly the opposite features).

:-), that's great :-).
In the meantime, I solved the second part, i.e., adding the additional
describing text. It goes somehow like this (well, it's a hack, but it
works):
% MathParagraph is the enumeration (it ensures references and numbering,
% and typesetting all the texts). In command, it calls a macro that refers
% to \MathParagraphType etc.
\def\startLemma{\dosingleempty\dostartLemma}
\def\dostartLemma[#1]#2 {%

\def\MathParagraphName{#2}
\def\MathParagraphList{MathParagraphs}
\iffirstargument
\startMathParagraph[#1]
\else
\startMathParagraph
\fi
}
\let\stopLemma\stopMathParagraph
So I can use
\startLemma[reference]{Algorithm xyz terminates}
...
\stopLemma
I came to the idea to misuse command= to typeset the header and write to
the list, it is given an argument containing the number of the enumeration.
Anyway, it is not easy to feed it into \expanded{\writetolist...} as the
argument is something with \edef and a pile of pretty ugly macros :-), so I
still use \precedingsectionnumber\numberMathParagraph :-(
To sum up, a good way to obtain current enumeration number (in a form that
goes into lists, etc.) would be completely enough, provided that one
writes hacks to solve the rest (and does end up finding the real macro
names with \tracingmacros=1 :-)). Creating something like
enumerateddescription (a description with names and possibility to write
lists) would be much nicer, of course :-))

[NTG-context] Czech sorting rules
Hello,
I've tried to find something relevant about the terrible Czech sorting :-)
The first thing to note is that there is a standard (from 1970 or so) that
is not implementable in fact, it requires such stupid sorts like Karel IV
Karel III as one should sort it as the numbers were written in words
(ctvrty, treti) :-)
So in practice, there are more-or-less accurate approximations. Quite good
intro is http://www.vitsoft.info/sortkit.htm
The sorting is considered very reasonable if it conforms with order stated
in http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/cssort.table . Characters on
a single line in the table are considered equivalent. Note the `ch'
character that is sorted between h and i. This table contains accented
letters that are not used in Czech (like crossed l, z dot above). It should
IMHO be also completely OK for Slovak (as they, I hope, inherited the
standard).
I think that it would be completely OK to sort according to that table
taking chars on single lines as equivalent. The modules the table is from
implements a four-pass sorting algorithm that reflects pretty damn rules,
see http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/csort.c .
An example of sorted sequences is
http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/sort.tab .
The question is if it is reasonable to implement it internally in ConTeXt
or to use an external module. An external Perl module was prepared by Tom
Hudec once (he even modified the sorting table, he preferred all letters
with `hacek (\v{})' to be greater than without \v. If you consider
internal ConTeXt implementation feasible, I'd be happy if you commented the
sorting macros a bit, so that I could contact native Czech users and
fine-tune it. I'd like to consult it with our Czech TeX frieds, I don't
feel myself to be a sorting expert (it's quite tricky, isn't it).
Thanks,

Hello,
in the following example, I'm pretty sure that it should produce Lemmas and
Theorems numbered continuously (i.e., one common counter for both of them)
and moreover, the numbers should (due to bychapter) be preceded by chapter
number. In ConTeXt 2005.06.27, the enumerations are counted separately and
chapter number prefix is missing.
Interestingly, if Lemma and Theorem blocks are swapped, they become really
Theorem 1 and Lemma 2. The chapter number is still missing.
Has the mechanism been changed or am I doing anything wrong?

ah, some dutch left-overs in the interface translation:
search for variant in core-lst,tex:
sorry, I don't follow you :-(. What I'm saying is that alternatives a,
b, and c produce the same result (equal to `b' setting).
I expect this to expand to the macros you've cited in the end, so I
expect that
\setupcombinedlist
[content]
[alternative=c]
should work.
\def\@@lialternative
{\@@lialternativeb}
\@@lialternativeb
(even better: \setvalue{\??li\c!alternative a}% )
OK, how should this help? I've tried all of them in the setup (with
other alternatives like a or c, too), only the first \def goes without
error and has no effect, though.
Thanks and sorry for being a bit slow,
D.A.

[NTG-context] Bib module produces no output
Hello, bib module of 30-8-2004 produces no bibliography list on \placepublications with ConTeXt 2004.12.17 (last stable) and/or latest beta. The workaround is to use \setuplist[pubs][criterium=all] somewhere in the setup. Can you please make including the whole bibliography make the default? I'm pretty sure that's what everybody expects :-) Thanks, D.A. -- Women have a wonderful instinct about things.

[NTG-context] Czech support (Was: Re: does context support vietnamese?)
On Wed, Nov 17, 2004 at 11:05:21AM +0100, Hans Hagen wrote: The Thanh Han wrote: What is the current status of context support for czech? Hello, Hyphenation patterns work OK for Czech. Settings for Czech seem to be reasonable (I'd only redefine subsentence setting and mainly date), generated words (Chapter, ...) work fine, at least it is easy to redefine them to one's personal taste :-) System messages and names of macros are available in Czech (although I cannot imagine anyone who would use them; things like nastavramovani for setupframed seem really perverted to me:-). Index sorting is missing in the distribution; in any case, Czech sorting rules are really ugly and need incorporation of Cz::Sort into texutil. I don't keep an eye on ConTeXt development very carefully so I might be out-of-sync, nevertheless it'd be nice to have a sorting module pluggable into texutil (just a suggestion). The Czech support is based on master thesis of Tomas Hudec. After finishing his study, he disappeared and I have no knowledge about him. Fortunately, I have the complete sources of his work, so the missing parts could be filled. I've prepared a Bc. thesis assignment saying in fact take Tomas' thesis and make it really work but I haven't manage anybody to do that :-( Currently, I'm pretty busy (and use ConTeXt to write in English), so if a Czech speaking ConTeXt user wants to have a look at it, I can send him/her the archive.

[NTG-context] Czech patterns in TeXlive2003
Hello, Petr Olsak has changed slightly Czech pattern file czhyph.tex for TeXlive2003, it's a bit `Babelized' now. It produces \errmessage for Babel's \addlanguage being \undefined. It also contains several ugly hacks to make both plain and LaTeX read \v and \' syntax for Czech accents, and finally it reads czhyphen.tex containing real patterns. The result is that generating ConTeXt format ends with the \errmessage. Simple workaround is to change alias in cont-usr.tex to pattern files from czhyph.tex to czhyphen.tex. My discussion with Petr Olsak suggests to make a more systematic correction: to add a test into czhyph.tex and make it directly read czhyphen.tex if ConTeXt is detected. This needs two things to make sure: 1. Is it OK to read patterns with \v and \' syntax into ConTeXt? 2. Is there a way to detect ConTeXt in order to put into czhyph.tex something like: \ifx\something-typical-to-detect-ConTeXt\undefined \else % for ConTeXt \input czhyphen.tex \endinput \fi Is there a more systematic/clean solution? Or shall I ask Petr Olsak to change this in the czhyph.tex file?
