And to sort the same data multiple times, having the results of all the sortings available (so that you can have e.g. a list of the data sorted by, say, name, and a list of the same data sorted, say, by content). I noticed there is already a database support in TeX provided by the module core-dat. Am I wasting my time with the xdesc module? Or will xdesc make core-dat obsolete?

((5)) A way to get the (internal) number of a reference, so that i can be used by TeX (without it being typeset). ((6)) Pseudo-floats: things that are of the same class as real floats, have captions, are numbered along with the real floats, but *do* *no* *move* and can (possibly) be split (e.g. tables etc). ((7)) Subfloats: this was partly done by a recent patch, but it needs some additions, mostly the possibility to reference each subfloat separately. ((8)) The footnote bug: footnote ending on the wrong page when footnote reference is at bottom of the page. (See attached footbug2.tex; note that the bug appears both when there is a footnote in the columns (pages 1--2) and when there is no other footnote (pages 3--4)) IIRC you mentioned at EuroTeX that you already have a fix for this, but that such fix would break something else in certain cases. Is it possible to let this fix be "triggable"? (You choose when to apply it and when not to) ((9)) Threaded documents: I missed that at EuroTeX, so at least the explanation of the ConTeXt interface to PDF threads would be greatly welcome :-) ((10)) Abbreviation: some abbreviations are better in small caps, some are better in normal style. A way to selectively set this? META ((1)) MetaFun/ConTeXt interface to MetaObject ((2)) Finer grid in charts.

You mean the internal data from \in etc.? You can get that stuff number from within the macro \doifreferencefoundelse. Does dat help? > ((6)) Pseudo-floats: things that are of the same class as real > floats, have captions, are numbered along with the real > floats, but *do* *no* *move* and can (possibly) be split > (e.g. tables etc). Non-moving floats are already in context: \placefloat[here][...] ? (otherwise I misunderstood your request). They do not split though and yes, I want that as well. > ((7)) Subfloats: this was partly done by a recent patch, but it > needs some additions, mostly the possibility to reference each > subfloat separately. Right. I have (somewhere) a workaround that uses \reference to reach this goal. -- groeten, Taco ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
