[NTG-context] \blank[] doesn't work when nothing precedes it

Dear List, I'm trying to put the document title at around .25\paperheight by inserting a \blank: \setuplayout[topspace=0cm, header=0cm, height=\paperheight] \starttext \blank[.25\paperheight] foo \stoptext But the "foo" still appears at the very top. Does anyone know why it behaves

Re: [NTG-context] Bug: context/mtxrun makes Firefox eat up cpu

After dozens of compilations of various minimal examples using the newly installed context, the problem reappeared. Removing tex/texmf-cache does not help. Does anyone know what files context modifies apart from tex/texmf-cache? Sylvain On Wed, 4 Nov 2020 at 16:01, Sylvain Hubert wrote

[NTG-context] Why is the textarea not centered by default?

Dear List, \starttext \showframe \showsetups \stoptext This minimal example without further configuration shows that the default value for backspace, textwidth and paperwidth are 2.5cm, 15cm, 21cm resp., which means that the textarea is horizontally 0.5cm off the center by default, and one

[NTG-context] What is "cutspace" and "bottomspace"?

Dear List, according to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuplayout , "cutspace" and "bottomspace" are the counterparts of "backspace" and "topspace", and "If cutspace is set to 0, it is taken to be equal to the backspace". But in fact, the following document stays the same no matter what

[NTG-context] Is there any intuitive way of handling missing characters?

Dear List, Is there any way to give a sequence of fonts to context and let it try one after another in case of missing characters? Ideally it should be something like \usefallback[font1,font2,font3,...] The methods I've found are all way too complicated for someone who does not really care about

Dear List, I've tried \hl[0.5\paperwidth] but context complains 'a number should have been here' since \hl assumes 'em' as unit. Does anyone know how to draw a horizontal line of 0.5\paperwidth ? Thanks! Best, Sylvain

Dear List, I'm trying to intervene whenever context encounters a character that it cannot render in the current font. I guess this should have something to do with lua callbacks (pls correct me if I'm wrong), but the document does not seem
