ConTeXt will silently ignore all of this. You must not have space between

Does anyone know if there is a way to get context to stop when it sees an unknown option, instead of silently ignoring it? The way this is dealt with in the core is by specifying options using \c!header, etc. This has two advantages: First we get a multi-lingual interface for free. Second any typos in the keys are caught. This does not catch mistakes like giving an new option to a command, for example specifying headstyle=something to \setuphead (headstyle is valid for \setupitemgroup, but not for \setuphead). There is, however, no way of catching errors like height= fit, Here context thinks that height is set to fit (with the space), and this does not match any of the cases in the code, so is ignored.

Re: [NTG-context] Problem Passing \starttabulate into Lua

I'm trying to create a ConTeXt macro (mkiv) that will manipulate the

macro with \starttabulate ... \stoptabulate in the macro's
argument. So I started reducing the problem down to a minimum
example which surprisingly turned out to have nothing to do with the
manipulations I was performing.
Here is the working example (without \starttabulate):
\long\def\testmacro#1{\directlua0{d='\luaescapestring{#1}'}}

Re: [NTG-context] specific document layout with ConTeXt
Hello, A big thanks to both Aditya and Wolfgang for their example styles/documents. This will help me (and perhaps also others) get familiar with ConTeXt much faster than any manual could. Aditya, could you also post a document that uses the IEEE module? It is not clear to me how I should specify the title, for example. Wolfgang's module looks very clean and is even somewhat similar to the way Lout's report class can be configured by means of the parameters. This, I like alot and is basically what I was looking for in ConTeXt. Unfortunately there is no small caps included in URW Times. I have tried installing the Gyre fonts, but that was not very successful. What is the easiest way to end up with a SC Times font? Or should I just fake it using a construct simular to what is described in http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/020929.html? This will not allow me to specify it as a style to \setuphead however, I assume? Kind regards, Brecht PS. Sorry for not properly replying to the thread.
