Since you talk about chemistry, is there now a way to type correctly
isotopes (without any hacks). Actually \chemistry{^{238}_{92}U} do
align '92' to the left. It should be aligned to the right.
Thank you.
(Maybe I should have open a new thread...)
Hum, I work all the time with $^3$He and $^4$He,
but somehow I never thought of this as chemistry...
I'll look into fixing \chemistry{^{32}_{15}P} (another one of my
occupations), and Hans will then put it into the beta.

It's on the agenda for luatex: prescripts.

[NTG-context] [co-pagedesign.tex] grid=yes not mentioned
Hi all,
in the page design manual the section “grid” does not mention
that the grid needs to be enabled by \setuplayout[grid=yes].
Although the “grid” parameter is briefly discussed alongside the
other parameters of \setuplayout, there is no hint at the
available snapping methods.

[NTG-context] Table Numbering
Hello, I have just up just upgraded from version 2012.03.30 to the latest beta. Suddenly none of my tables are named chapter.number anymore, eg. Table 1.3 for the third table in Chapter 1, but just 3. That is, the chapter number is no longer prepended. Has something changed there? How can I enable the old behaviour again? Thank you, Malte.

Add \setupcaption[prefix=yes] to your document do enable the chapter prefix for a floats or add \setupcaption[table][prefix=yes] to enable it only for table floats. I’ll take a look why the prefix isn’t enabled by default which should be the case (the value is set on the core but ignored).

Sure but but the format is nevertheless usefull in some cases:
- exercises like: what is the chemical symbol of the \lohi[left]{2}{4}X
atom?
- nuclear reactions where Z are usefull to balance the equations (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reaction for exemples). Of course if one
know every Z and atomic symbol associated by heart, the nomenclature with Z is
not needed.

But, but, but ... that doesn't demonstrate the fact that the elements
right-align instead of left-align! I've changed it again:
One stable isotope of tantalum is \lohi[left]{73}{180m}Ta.
(This is my own fault: I deliberately added the extra 0 in
\lohi[left]{40}{2}He, a long time ago, because I cared more about
illustrativeness than truth. And because I was too lazy to look up a
more suitable isotope. I am a bad person, and it is good that people
like Alain exist to keep people like me in line. :-P)

[NTG-context] Multi-page textbackground ignores topoffset
Hi,
Is there any way to get a multi-page textbackground to respect topoffset on
each page? From the second page onwards, it leaves no offset at the top. I
don't think I can use background instead, as I'm nesting the textbackgound
under itemize and also use itemize within it (correct me if this works
okay?). A minimal example (note context live doesn't display the frame,
which is sort of necessary to see the problem):
\definetextbackground[Test][
location=paragraph,
topoffset=1em, bottomoffset=1em,
leftoffset=1em, rightoffset=1em,
frame=on, framecolor=black]
\starttext
This is some text outside of a text background.
\startTest
\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par}
\stopTest
This is more text outside of a text background.
\stoptext
Kip Warner started a thread about this several months ago, but it seems to
have died before anyone offered a solution.
Thanks,
Nick

[NTG-context] Help with Long Titles
Hello,
I am using a the startsetups mechanism that defines a title page in my
environment file. That way anyone creating a document in my organisation can
create a new document and get a consistent look of the title page. There is one
problem with this: On occasions I get very long document titles and then the
title extends over the left-hand edge of the page. I would like to incorporate
a new line into the document title; I'd even be happy to do that manually, ie.
it does not have to be automatic.
There are two problems here:
1. I had not had any success with putting a newline into the title; it will
need to be not where the titlepage is defined but where it is used (see below).
I have tried \par and \\ and none of them work.
2. Assuming I found a way to do this, I would need to also find a way of
reducing the \blank[170mm] by the amount that the second line of the title
takes up to render the information down the bottom in roughly the same place.
If push comes to shove, I could create a second titlepage setup for two-line
titles, but I much rather not. Is there a solution to that? Is there maybe a
way to position the information down the bottom absolute?
Here is minimal example (or something very close to that):
% The title page
\startsetups titlepage
\startstandardmakeup[style=sans]
\blank[50mm]
\rightaligned{\bfd\getvariable{titlepage}{project}}
\textrule
\rightaligned{\tfc\color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{title}}}
\blank[170mm]
\starttabulate[|plf{\tfa}|prf{\tfa}|]
\NC\tfa\copyright\thinspace Pearson Pty Ltd \NC
\getvariable{titlepage}{author} \NC\NR
\TB[small]
\NC \color[darkgray]{Commercial in Confidence} \NC
\color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{version}} \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\tfx Uncontrolled copy if printed.
\stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups
% ...and this is how it is being used
\starttext
\setvariables
[titlepage]
[set=\texsetup{titlepage},
project={Pearson},
title={This document title is very long, so I'd like to \par break it
into two lines},
author={Tony Mueller},
version={Version 1.0.0}]
\stoptext
Thank you very much for all the help I have received so far.
Regards,
Malte.
