Hi, I have had similar problems with such side effects in my projects. My question is where can read up on side effects. On the wiki and in the manuals side effects are not listed. It would be nice to read up on the side effects so that one can try to avoid them or find a work around instead

[NTG-context] Win64 Version of ConTeXt Standalone?

2013-11-15 Thread Bill Meahan
I'm curious (not complaining). Does a Win64 version of the Standalone suite exist? Certainly the 32-bit binary works fine (the exigencies of WOW64 notwithstanding) but it seems odd to me 64-bit versions for Mac, Linux, FreeBSD or FreeBSD/Debian exist but not a 64-bit Windows version. This

[NTG-context] how to reduce \lineskiplimit in ConTeXt grid layout

2013-11-15 Thread Lars Huttar
As you know, in plain TeX, \lineskiplimit tunes the vertical glue algorithm by specifying the minimum amount of space between the bottom edge of one line and the top edge of the following line. But in ConTeXt, it appears that \lineskiplimit is set to zero, at least in grid mode. We're using grid
