Re: [NTG-context] Degrading TABLE column
It sounds like an accumulation of (spurious) spaces, but that is doesn't help. A (minimal-ish) example will be needed. Taco Duncan Hothersall wrote: I'm trying to solve a problem with a TABLE in a large-ish (600 page) book. The table occurs in an appendix, and the contents of one column are spilling out into the next column on the right. The weird thing is that when I process just that bit of the book, the effect is much smaller, and when I process the whole book (with the table near the end), the contents move all the way to the other side of the next column, moving almost a full column's width to the right. I will try to work up an example, but in the meantime, does this ring a bell with anyone in terms of something (an offset value, and alignment parameter?) which degrades over the course of a large run, such that the effect is minimal in a small document, but visible at the end of a large one?

[NTG-context] blank chapter last page
Hi, ConTeXt's default behavior is to insert a page, when necessary, to force a new chapter to begin on a right hand page. One consequence when using running headers is that they appear on these extra pages too. I use the following code to control a chapter's opening page. % Define heads for chapter opening pages \definetext[chapterstart][footer][pagenumber] \setuphead[chapter][header=empty,footer=chapterstart] I would like those inserted extra pages to be completely blank.

[NTG-context] Looking for old ConTeXt stuff
Hi, Some of you may know that we are working on a project whose goal is to have all releases of the ConTeXt distribution in an on-line source repository. For that project, we are looking for old versions of the ConTeXt distribution. Hans Hagen, Patrick Gundlach and me had quite a few of them among us, but we are still missing a number of releases (we only have a complete set for 2004 and 2005). At the end of this message is a list of all the distributions before the year 2004 that we could find on our harddisks and on old tex-live and 4TeX disks. So, I have a question to all of you who have ever upgraded or downloaded your ConTeXt distribution from the Pragma website. Could you please have a look if there is still a zip on your harddisk or backup somewhere? A bit of search help: really old context-s used the filename context.zip and contained a directory of MS-Dos files with uppercase names, newer ones (since 1999) are named cont-tmf.zip and contain an embedded texmf structure with lowercase names. I'll wait until after christmas before I start filling the repository, so there is some time yet. Don't forget: if you can help out and want to me send files, then e-mail me directly, do not reply to this message on the list(s)! Thanks in advance, Taco Distributions we have: (For 1999-2003, the filename refers to the date used by \contextversion in context.tex. For 1997 and 1998, there was no \contextversion yet, so the modification date of the newest file in the distribution is used instead) 1997: total 648 -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 662581 Dec 20 12:18 cont-tmf-19971028.zip 1998: total 1320 -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 673171 Dec 20 12:27 cont-tmf-19980327.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 674836 Dec 19 15:23 cont-tmf-19980415.zip 1999: total 2804 -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1030228 Dec 20 12:28 cont-tmf-19990217.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 744357 Dec 20 12:28 cont-tmf-19990331.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1089733 Dec 20 14:25 cont-tmf-19991230.zip 2000: total 2048 -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 873111 Dec 20 13:36 cont-tmf-2518.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1220484 Dec 20 14:26 cont-tmf-20001022.zip 2001: total 6952 -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1313450 Dec 20 14:26 cont-tmf-20010409.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1361637 Dec 20 11:54 cont-tmf-20010423.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1367195 Dec 20 14:27 cont-tmf-20010430.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1515384 Dec 20 11:55 cont-tmf-20010704.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1554823 Dec 20 11:37 cont-tmf-20010711.zip 2002: total 8548 -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1713611 Dec 20 11:38 cont-tmf-20020124.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1730030 Dec 20 11:38 cont-tmf-20020304.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1715671 Dec 20 13:15 cont-tmf-20020417.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1741888 Dec 20 13:16 cont-tmf-20020515.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1841991 Dec 20 13:18 cont-tmf-20021220.zip 2003: total 28484 -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1857813 Dec 20 13:19 cont-tmf-20030110.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1882161 Dec 20 13:20 cont-tmf-20030128.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1882471 Dec 20 13:21 cont-tmf-20030131.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1889112 Dec 20 13:21 cont-tmf-20030211.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1896212 Dec 20 13:22 cont-tmf-20030303.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1900056 Dec 20 13:23 cont-tmf-20030304.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1905791 Dec 20 13:23 cont-tmf-20030309.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1913789 Dec 20 13:25 cont-tmf-20030317.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1984791 Dec 20 13:25 cont-tmf-20030422.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1985317 Dec 20 13:26 cont-tmf-20030429.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 1998077 Dec 20 13:27 cont-tmf-20030721.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 2006682 Dec 20 13:27 cont-tmf-20030808.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 2012646 Dec 20 13:28 cont-tmf-20030821.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 2015217 Dec 20 11:48 cont-tmf-20030925.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 context tex 2013910 Dec 20 11:49 cont-tmf-20030926.zip ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
