I have rudimentary support for titled theorems and end of proof 
markers working. It also takes care of your bug-report.

I have patched core-des so that stopper is also honored when number=no 
is set.

I have a very basic end of proof marker working. Basically, it will 
handle the marker correctly for proofs that end with paragraphs, and 
works hard to avoid a page break when the proof ends with a formula or 
an itemize (in this case, the end of proof marker is in a line of its 
own). The main macro for putting the proof marker on the right is from 
Paul Taylor's qed.sty. If you want to test this, I can send you the 
file offlist. This file is not in a state to be merged into the core 
right now.

Hans, why does core-des.tex define description parameter as:

\def\descriptionparameter#1{\csname\??dd\currentdescription#1\endcsname}

while in some other files, you had

\def\parameter#1{\executeifdefinedelse{\??..\current#1}{\executeifdefined{\??..#1}}

which prevents a lot of copying of parameters. Is core-des yet to be 
cleaned up?

has to do with being in vertical or horizontal mode; also keep in mind that 
section heads are to take care of lists, marks, refs as well, so the underlying 
code is somewhat messy and complex 

grep for 

\defineheadplacement

in core-sec ... you can implement your own variants

I finally managed to figure out what is wrong. The 
\nonoindentation...\doreckecknextindentation should be the last line 
in the defintion of dodocomplexplacefloat.

I will post the details of my feature request on dev-context list 
after doing some testing.

[NTG-context] Strange behaviour of \dorechecknextindentation inside float

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

Right now, indentnext key is ignored for floats. I was trying to test 
how to do it, but something strange is happening. I thought that the 
following two are equivalent:

\def\sometopfloat [#1]{\someelsefloat[#1]}

\placefigure[top]{top}{}
\nonoindentation\autoindentation\dorechecknextindentation

and

\def\sometopfloat[#1]%
   {\someelsefloat[#1]%
\nonoindentation\autoindentation\dorechecknextindentation}

\placefigure[top]{top}{}


The first one works fine, but the second does not. Can anyone explain 
what is going on here. Here is my test example:


\setupindenting[big,yes]

\def\sometopfloat [#1]{\someelsefloat[#1]}

% This works
\section {Test}
\placefigure[top]{top}{}\noindentation
\input tufte

\placefigure[top]{top}{}\doindentation

\input tufte

\page

% This also works

\section {Test}
\placefigure[top]{top}{}
\nonoindentation\autoindentation\dorechecknextindentation
\input tufte

\placefigure[top]{top}{}
\nonoindentation\autoindentation\dorechecknextindentation

\input tufte

\page
% This does not work (why)?

\def\sometopfloat[#1]%
   {\someelsefloat[#1]%
\nonoindentation\autoindentation\dorechecknextindentation}

\section {Test}
\placefigure[top]{top}{}
\input tufte

\placefigure[top]{top}{}

\input tufte

\stoptext

When I try to embed 
I get a document that is much smaller than the original and lacks the
3d views of the original.

How can I get the first column right? Note that, according to the manual,  
\textwidth gives the width of a column but in this case it apparently  
gives a full \hsize.

RELATED QUESTION: How can I control the distance between rows? I do not  
want any extra whitespace between rows (i.e., except the normal  
interparagraph space).

Please advise!

Ui... I thought I am (trying) using bibtex. Ok, I add two example-files to 
this email: 

studie.tex
studie.bbl

To create my pdf I am runing: 

texexec --xtx studie.tex

Unfortunatly to reference inside the text is empty. When I am changing the 
reference in the text to \cite[apa][stl] the resulting reference in the pdf 
looks like [stl] - at least not empty. But if I am changing the reference stl 
to a not existing one - e.g. stla - I am getting an empty publicationlist and 
the reference inside the text look like: [stla]. 

What am I doing wrong?

[NTG-context] additional footnote (quite late)

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

sometimes – just before the printer heats up his machine – there is something 
important too add, but yet the footnote-numbering can't be changed anymore (see 
example below please):

\starttext

First sentence.\footnote{First footnote} Something added\footnote[-]{In-between 
footnote}. Second sentence.\footnote{Second footnote}

\stoptext


Do you know a reliable way to make footnote "In-between footnote" labeled "1a" 
(in text and page end)?

The information for the citation is taken from the one-letter keys
in \startpublication. In your case, you need to add an 'a=' key
containing the author information you want to see referenced.

I take you are not using bibtex. It may help if you create a
dummy test file *with* bibtex, just to see what comes out of that.

The bibliographic style needs to be translated to german. For the
APA style, this is done already  (I  believe by Peter Münster, but
it is possible I remember wrong). You have to start with

   \setuppublications[alternative=apa-de]

to use that file (bibl-apa-de.tex). If you are unhappy with the output, 
you can (have to) copy bibl-apa-de.tex to some other name starting
with bibl- and edit that file.


> And last but not least: How can I make the \setupheadtext[pubs=NeuerTitel]

I wouldn't give this much thought. Just use

   \chapter{Neurtitel}
   \placepublications

instead. That is all that \completepublications does, anyway.
