Hi,
Doing my first steps with ConTeXt (after about ten years
experience with LaTeX) I was running into the following
problem.
Running the enclosed example I got still the english
version (as can be seen in the 'Contents'-title of the
TOC).
% language=de tex=pdfetex output=pdftex
\language[de]

How old is your TeX installation, the name of the binary is now pdftex
and no longer pdfetex
Seems to be somewhat older since pdftex is not known as executable.
He says pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2)

Hi,
My next problem seems to be the german umlaut 'ß'.
Running the following example delivers only six of the
seven wanted characters, while the 'ß' is left blank.
I'm not sure whether this might be a problem with
my editor WinEdt, but I'm sure you can show me the
right direction.
Regards,

Can you show us what do you get from my two examples.
I'm going to try to and I hope the attachments will work.
In short: the first example (result in test3.pdf) shows
the 'eszet' while the second example (test4.pdf) doesn't.

Which file do you used for test3 and which for test4?
I'm sorry, seems to be too early in the morning.
test3: umlaut-utf.tex
test4: umlaut-latin.tex

Hi,
Does something like \newcommand exist in ConTeXt?
My questions aims especially at the optional argument
with a predefined value. So, how do I realize
\newcommand{\test}[2][A]{foo}
with ConTeXt. In the fine manual I found an index entry
\definecommand, but in the 'rest' of the manual it

The result is shown in the attached test5.pdf,

Yes, it does. Although I must admit, that

And we have also \define and \redefine but you can't use
optional arguments with them.
That's a good starting point, thanks for the link. My first
attempts are running, although faulty. Perhaps I'll

ACK.
Accustomed to LaTeX this handling had the feeling
of TeX, but of course it isn't. Nevertheless I'm
afraid I'm going to have a hard time to learn this.
The next problem(s) are already in the pipeline.

Hi,
Regarding the following example I've got two questions.
(1) Why don't I ever see the argument #2 in the output?
(2) What do I have to do to suppress the unwanted space
after the end of the output of this macro (as can be seen
in the result before the following comma)?

No, not with my oldtimer.

*many* aspects have improved since then, including encodings and
regimes, so

Both versions still show no sharp s,

Hi,
Do I really have to install ruby? I downloaded it, but can't find
anything like install, setup or something like this. Even the
readme is not very helpful at all. And another question: for
using Ruby - and therefore ConTeXt - do I need cygwin?

There are two alternatives for installing ruby. Take this one:

Thanks, I'll give it a try (installation is already running).
