Re: [NTG-context] \unit and Hertz, lux, and degrees/minutes/seconds

We can already have different mapping sets so spacing could be part of that. I don't personally have a need for units in the foreseeable future (I was just nitpicking with Robin about spacing) so feel free to ignore any of my suggestions, but I think the summary so far would be: 1. Spacing for almost all SI units should be the same and doesn't need special cases. 2. Geographical degrees/minutes/seconds should have no spaces. 3. Spacing for degrees temperature varies according to different style guides -- both before and after the ° -- so ideally it would be possible to set these independently of the rest of the units. For my own part I would add: 4. SI unit abbreviations are mostly capital letters, and look (to me) strange with old-style figures. I have seen books which used old-style figures for page numbers, years, etc. but switched to lining figures when a unit was involved; this is also what I did in my thesis. So I think it would be useful to allow an automatic switch to lining figures to be configured when typesetting a unit.

[NTG-context] Single user installation (Standalone)

Not for me, and afaict, it has never happened to me before. Except … when at
some point you have run ./first-update or context --make as superuser, then the
files from that run will be owned by the superuser from then on. My guess is
that some of the files inside your local context tree are no longer owned by
you.
You could wipe the install (as superuser) and retry. Or, if you are familiar
with unix file handling, you could (as superuser) reassign the affected files
to your own user account from within Terminal, like this
First, check the output of this:
$ sudo find contextinstallroot -not -user youraccount
Then run:
$ sudo find contextinstallroot -not -user youraccount -exec chown
youraccount \{\} \;
Best wishes,

I probably did that long ago.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt group

Could somebody tell me, in more detail than on the above site, the purpose of it and in particular its relationship to NTG (which itself is already ConTeXt dominated)? Dear Hagmann, Thank you very much for the question. We decided to create a new user group during the meeting in Brejlov in 2010. Main reason was that even though NTG is the group of choice for supporting ConTeXt development, it is not really clear to many users why they should join a Dutch user group. And it is not always justified to use NTG's money for ConTeXt only since there are also many other LaTeX users in the group, other interests etc. The group has been founded slightly more than a year ago, but only started operating more seriously during the last ConTeXt Meeting in Belgium. We have 28 members now, but sadly still no bank account. We hope to settle that withing the next two weeks, even though we are still not sure which bank to choose/in what country. The main complication is that group is founded in France, president is Dutch, treasurer is German ... It is trivial if group is established in the same country where the bank account is opened and if both president and treasurer are present when the account is opened. We didn't want to promote the group too publicly too much yet since everyone's first question would be how to pay for the membership. Why the user group? * TeX user groups often fund projects like development of Latin Modern, TeX Gyre, MetaPost, LuaTeX, ... ConTeXt group would join other groups in helping TeX develop further. * Costs of domain name, server, ... * When organizing ConTeXt meetings, one might have to pay for the hotel and different other costs in advance (before conference fees are collected). The user group could help paying those costs. On the other hand some conference sites are more expensive than others. In case of an expensive conference, ConTeXt Group can help cover part of the costs. People who come to conferences are usually the most active developers and conferences are the most perfect way to brainstorm and get things done. On the other hand, if some money is left from the conference, the group can use it next year or for other reasons. One can also help individual developers to join the conference when they cannot afford to. * The group could apply for different fundings, search sponsors etc. * We want to publish conference proceedings. The first issue is being worked on and will hopefully be published very soon in 2012 (the plan was to release it before Christmas, but beginning of 2012 is more realistic). In short: the group will help organizing meeting, pay for server-related costs, promote usage of ConTeXt, force authors to publish in nice proceedings, allow grateful users to give back, foster development of different projects that are relevant for ConTeXt, ... We also need a new webpage design and I hope that registration still works after being moved to the new server ;) You are welcome to register. We will let you know as soon as we will be able to accept the payments.

[NTG-context] Framed environment
Is there an environment (i.e., like a \startframed ... \stopframed)
method for using \framed{ ... } on a block of text? Certain \start ...
\stop combinations don't seem to play well with \framed{ ... }. For
example,
\usemodule[amsl]
\starttext
\framed{
\startformula
\startalign
A=B
\stopalign
\stopformula

\stoptext
fails evidently because \framed{ ... } and the \startalign ...
\stopalign don't like one another.
