Re: [NTG-context] pagenumber in header line.-SOLVED
I received a few solutions that didn't work for me. Thanks to those who wrote
me. But a little plain TeX trickery did it nicely as follows:
---
\setupheadertexts[text]
[][\CapStretch{INVESTING ON AUTOPILOT}\kern 1em\number\pageno\hfil]
[\number\pageno\kern 1em \CapStretch{ROBERT S. CABLE}\hfil][]
-
hmm, I prefear
\setupheadertexts[text]%
[]%
[{\CapStretch{INVESTING ON AUTOPILOT}\kern 1em\number\pageno\hfil}]%
[{\number\pageno\kern 1em \CapStretch{ROBERT S. CABLE}\hfil}]%
[]%
%%%
or an ascii-visual code
\setupheadertexts[text]%
[][{\CapStretch{INVESTING ON AUTOPILOT}\kern 1em\number\pageno\hfil}]%
[{\number\pageno\kern 1em \CapStretch{ROBERT S. CABLE}\hfil}][]%
%%%
I believe that with '{...}' things are more robusts
(btw I don't see many differences from my '2 cents' )
Since a centered header with page number included is a recurring requirement
perhaps this should go in the wiki. Or perhaps not :)

[NTG-context] Bib module error handling
Hi Taco, talking about the bib module ... I usually get confused when I cite a reference in the text but accidentally use the wrong citation key or have forgotten to put the record into my bib file at all. Instead of screaming question marks in the pdf output ConTeXt tacidly typesets a reference number and adds an empty entry to the list of references. Is this really desired? After all, it makes tracking down the wrong \cite command a bit of an issue ... admittedly some warnings show up in the log but definitely not on the pdf printout.

Hello. I'm trying to implement part of a change-tracking system using colour to highlight changed areas in a document.

Yes :)
The only documentation I know of are release notes. I
guess that only Jonathan can answer your question.
Normally, XeTeX loads OpenType fonts by *font name* (i.e., things
like \font\x=Latin Modern Roman 10pt or \font\y=Times New Roman,
etc). It will find fonts in this way if they are installed in the
normal desktop sense (in the c:\windows\fonts folder, or /Library/
Fonts etc under Mac OS X, or /etc/fonts or ~/.fonts under Linux, and
so on).
To repeat: such fonts are identified by their font names. Moreover,
there is some support for font families, in that xetex looks for the
appropriate optically-sized face, and can locate bold and italic
variants of a base font.
The square-bracket notation is quite different, in that it allows a
font (anywhere on the machine) to be loaded by *file name* (not font
name). The texmf tree is searched by default, but full pathnames can
also be used. In this case, there is no additional font family
management; xetex will simply use the font file specified.
Font names and font filenames are quite different, in many cases, and
it didn't seem wise to mix them up and allow the exact same form of
the \font declaration to access either one. This could lead to
ambiguity and confusion in the case where a filename does happen to
be the same as a font name.
As for why square brackets why not? :) We just needed a way to
distinguish filenames from font names, and this seemed a reasonably
safe choice -- unlikely to be present in a real font name, and not
usually given special treatment in TeX.

hm, but square brackets can interfere with optional args where [] don't
nest well (tex does not treat them as delimiters as it does {}
using {} would probably have been safer or maybe () (round ones) since
afaik these are seldom used for delimiting args; or maybe just
file:somename
anyhow, if it's filename stuff i can probably just feed the [] deep down

[NTG-context] Footnote in columns/sets?
Good evening.
Since I've got no answer, I date to resent my question once more, and
even to add to it.
I typeset a document in two columns on the grid. I use both columns, and
columnsets. I place footnotes in the lastcolumn.
\setupfootnotes
[rule=off, way=bypage, location=lastcolumn, conversion=set 3]
\setupfootnotedefinition
[location=left, width=fit, hang=1]
1) How can I set interlinespace to a smaller distance? (I don't care that
the footnote lines would not be on the grid---I prefer it to a very
loose interlinespace.) I guess that there is better way than to write
\footnote{\setupinterlinespace[line=9pt] ...\par}
Moreover, it doesn't work well since on the first line is apparently
inserted a strut.
2) In columnsets, the footnotes appear in the column where they are
referenced, not in the last (the second) column. How can I force it to
the second column?
Many thanks for your answers.

Looking through the archives it appears that the m-letter module has been withdrawn or was never released; it's not part of theConTeXt distro.

[NTG-context] problem with pdftex-1.40.1 and Gentium ligatures
When I moved from pdftex-1.30.5-2.2 (from texlive-base-bin 2005.dfsg.2-10 on debian) to pdftex-1.40.1 suddenly ligatures in gentium exhibited erratic behavior: they appeared correctly (or, more accurately, the letters appeared, they did not look like a proper ligature) on screen in xpdf and acroread but did not print (there were just empty spaces). On windows, the fi, fl, and ff combinations made blanks, just as on the printer. Reverting to pdftex-1.30.5-2.2 corrected the problem. Gentium is from ttf-gentium 1.02-2 on debian and the typescript I use is below. Perhaps my poor typesetting knowledge has lead me wrong and the lack of true ligatures is the actual problem?

[NTG-context] How to make a natural table float.
My task requires alternating whate and gray bars for a table. I was happy to
jump on the Natural Table facility. Further, I want the table to float in
the classic TeX fashion. I don't know the exact code for this in Context.
This doesn't work:
\setupcaptions[location=high]
\placetable[here][tab:comp]{Comparison of Corporate and Government Bond
Portfolios}
\setupTABLE[r][even][background=screen]
\bTABLE
...
\eTABLE

I get the message:

OK I solved that problem by enclosing the table in {} and now the table
floats. But now I have a wierder one. The \setupcaptions[location=high]
command puts the caption alongside the table instead of over it. Unfortunately
the customer specifies over rather than under.

anyone?
I do not use the m-letter module because it is too complicated for my
needs. If you think about it, a letter is usually something fairly
straight-forward. I have a personal p-letter.tex module which does
something like
setup layout
setup fonts
setup subject
\setuppagenumbering[location={bottom,middle}]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\setupindenting[medium]
\setupblank[big]
Yes, that's it! In the letter, I manually write the typesetting
commands in the letter
\starttext
\startlines
To,
Whoever ...
\stoplines
\blank[3*big]
\startlines
From,
Me
\stoplines
\blank[3*big]
Date: \currentdate
\blank[3*big]
\subject Whatever
Dear ...,
\setupindenting[yes,next]
My letter
in differnt paragraphs
\setupindeinting[no]
\blank[2*big]
\startlines
Your Sincerely
\blank[big]
Name...
\stoplines
\stoptext
This is fairly primitive, but I only need to write a formal letter
once every blue moon, and this setup works for me. If you have more
frequent need, then you may want more structure in the letters. If you
can finalize how you want to input your letter, creating a personal
module is not that hard with ConTeXt. I think that this is one of
ConTeXt's strongest points. In LaTeX, you first find a package, then
you see that the package does not do 100% of what you want, then you
read the code of the package and try to figure out how to make it do
what you want. With ConTeXt, once you know what you want, it is fairly
straight forward to write your personal module to achieve that. But of
course, ConTeXt needs more modules for things like journals and
conferences which have specific layout requirements.
