[NTG-context] Questions about natural tables
Hello everyone On page ConTeXt Garden is recommended the use of natural tables. My questions are: how do the tables are centered on the page? Can you change the size of the tables? Can you include label and caption? Thanks for your time.

Re: [NTG-context] Repeat second-level registers within index
···date: 2013-09-24, Tuesday···from: Thangalin···
Hi,
How do you prevent ConTeXt from hiding (collapsing?) duplicate level 2
index items?
For example:
\startitem
5 array \index{hedgehog+SECTION A}hedgehog
\stopitem
\startitem
7 army \index{herring+SECTION A}herring
\stopitem
\startitem
100 bloat \index{hippopotamuses+SECTION A}hippopotamuses
\stopitem
The text SECTION A will only appear once in the index, right after
hedgehog. I would like it to appear once per index term, always.
Confirmed. The subentries aren’t shown if:
- entries that share a subentry (level 2) are indexed
consecutively, and
- these entries are different but belong in the same register
section (same initial letter)
Example:
\starttext
\placeindex
\page
\index{a+foo}whatever %% shows up
\index{aa+foo} whatever %% doesn’t
\index{aaa+foo} whatever %% doesn’t
\index{+bar} whatever %% shows up
\index{a+foo}whatever %% shows up
\index{aa+foo} whatever %% doesn’t
\stoptext
If you s/bar/foo/ in the fourth invocation of \index, only the
first entry (“a”) of the register will have the subentry “foo”.
Change the initial letters of each entry and all subentries are
printed.
Best regards,
Philipp

Well... \switchtobodyfont[20pt] can also be used in paragraphs to change the size of just a few words. But the above suggests that \switchtobodyfont shouldn't be used for that purpose, and commands like \tfc should? You can use \switchtobodyfont to change the size for certain parts of a text but it’s best to keep this to a minimum because \tfa etc. are a lot faster. The reason why you don’t need \setupinterlinespace when you use \switchtobodyfont is that \setupinterlinespace is already called by \switchtobodyfont. Another thing which shouldn’t be forgotten is that \switchtobodyfont controls and changes the sizes for \tfa etc. Wolfgang ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Manual Errata
+π from me. My preference would be BitBucket (slightly simpler than github and allows for free private repositories), but, either way, the result is the same: fewer steps to updating the manual. Moving away from svn to git is also a step in the right direction, IMO. One aspect of wikis that I thoroughly enjoy is the ability to fix something (contribute) immediately. Moving to a web-based repository for the manual removes barriers (such as waiting upon moderated approvals whilst the moderator vacations) to letting people contribute to projects. Throw in a nightly build (with blaming) to ensure that the manual compile is never broken (for long).
