Seeking the incompatibility of versions of ConTeXts

Seeking the incompatibility of versions of ConTeXts

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello all,

I am seeking the incompatibility of ConTeXt minimals standalone and 
ConTeXt MKIV, which is part of TeXLive the 2011. While TeXLive 2011 
ConTEXt MKIV translates example bottom easily then standalone MKIV gives 
an error. An example is taken from wiki.contextgarden.
Just for the record: I am using with success this solution with few 
luascrips for a simple bibliography (sorting etc.), but only in ConTEXt 
MKIV TeXLive 2011. I want use it in mimimals standalone too.

Thanx.
Jaroslav Hajtmar

Here is my example:



\definereferenceformat[cite][left={[},right={]}]

\defineitemgroup [bibliography] [levels=1]
\setupitemgroup  [bibliography][each][s,packed]
\setupitemgroup  [bibliography]
                  [symbol=n,
                   left={[},
                   right={]},
                   width=3em,
                   stopper=,
                   itemalign=flushleft]

\appendtoks\let\bibitem\itemgroupitem\to\itemgroupcommands

\def\Cite[#1]{\cite[bibl:#1]}


\starttext

\section{Links to the bibiopgraphy}

Sample calls citations in the text. The numbers in square brackets are 
references to
bibliography. Here is the first link \Cite[3] and here next cite 
\Cite[4], \Cite[1], \Cite[5].



\section{Bibliography}


\startbibliography
\bibitem[bibl:1]
First publication


\bibitem[bibl:2]
Second publication

\bibitem[bibl:3]
Third publ.

\bibitem[bibl:4]
Fourth publ.


\bibitem[bibl:5]
Fifth publ.

\stopbibliography


\stoptext

The problem in your example is this line:

\appendtoks\let\bibitem\itemgroupitem\to\itemgroupcommands

You assume that context has a \itemgroupitem command but this isn’t the case for a current beta where the internal command for \item has changed.

A save method for the english interface is \def\bibitem{\item}.

ConTeXt in the Cloud?

[Matthias Weber]

Dear All,

as the proud owner of one of these tablet thingies  I am trying to make it as TeX-friendly as possible. Because the chances
of running TeX on it are slim, I've been looking at alternatives. The major goal would be to be able to create a 
presentation in ConTeXt on a tablet. For LaTeX, there is a cloud based services called ScribTeX,
which allows you to store (in the free version) up to three projects with up to 50MB space in the cloud, and have it LaTeXed.
As their cloud can be accessed via an App, you can edit the files on your tablet, send them to the cloud, have them TeXed, and
download the pdf.

I am tempted to contact the ScribTeX people and ask them to suport ConTeXt as well, but as I am just a little user and wouldn't have 
a clue about legalities, technicalities, etc, I thought I might ask here first.

Thanks!


Matthias

Legalities .. anyone can do it I guess and no one can claim that it's a 
unique (copyrighted process). With respect to technicalities ... most 
robust is xml input, a for texing one needs to take some precautions as 
one can create enormous jobs. Also it needs to be sanboxed. And there 
are resources to manage.

Hey Matthias,

It sounds like all you are trying to do is host a file on a server, but
the consumer lexicon may be confusing you. I recommend these two links:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#CloudComputing

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html

Best of luck and take care,

Thanx Wolfgang.
Originally I wanted the whole deal at Lua, but I finally found one 
example of wiki.contextgarden.net and decided to use it. I did not know 
that it will not work in the minimals standalone version ...

Is it possible solve it at ConTeXt Standalone level commands or is it 
better that the whole program in Lua?

Thanx
Jaroslav Hajtmar
