Wow, thanks. I must have read that 'Enumerations' contextgarden wiki page a
half dozen times and missed it anyway.

I am trying to have two numbered itemizations, with a paragraph in between,
such that the second list starts where the first left off, without having to
manually calculate the new start point. The following does not work, and I do
not understand why.
Mike
\starttext
I get a decidedly odd (or, at least, unexpected by me) result from this, based
on the example on the contextgarden page for definestartstop:
\starttext
\defineblank[ExtractDistance][3pt]
\definestartstop[Extract][
style=slanted,
before={\blank[ExtractDistance]
I get a different result for mkiv and lmtx for the following input:
\starttext
Even now, a six footer is two
standard deviations from the mean. Remember, 5\prime{}7\prime\prime{} is 50th
percentile today
for a 15 year old.
\stoptext
With mkiv, the prime marks for inches and feet are where I
I downloaded something that purports to be Century Expanded from fontsgeek.com.
Although the font has fi and fl ligature glyphs, it does not have a ligature
font feature and ConTeXt does not use those glyphs.
Aside from purchasing a real font product from Linotype at enormous expense and
Never mind. Apparently lmtx changed the default for \setupindenting from
'next' to 'first'?

The following produces different results in mkiv and lmtx (to which I am brand
new):
\setupinitial[distance=1pt,font=Serif at 36pt,n=2]
\setupindenting[medium,yes]
\starttext
\placeinitial
\input knuth

The mkiv output is the desired effect. It works fine in lmtx if I do not

Yes. Once again, everyone’s help has been spot on.

I want to have a float (illustration for fiction, with caption) that takes up
just one page, irrespective of the size of the image in the figure. This can
be done with a \startmakeup, but makeup pages do not float, as near as I can
tell; they interrupt the text (leaving a partly blank page);

As always, it is hard to tell whether this is my stupidity, the wrong version

I am experiencing an odd behavior switching text styles in a defined startstop

I want to put a book title above the Chapter title for the first chapter of a

checks to see if it is the first chapter... but how do I look at the chapter

I am playing around with imitating the design of fiction books from the early
20th century. The table of contents for these books often has small headings,
'CHAPTER' (or 'CHAP.') and 'PAGE' over the respective columns. How might this
best be accomplished in ConTeXt? Just add a carefully
I downloaded the Google free font ‘Vollkorn’
