[NTG-context] A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment
So I've come back to using ConTeXt after a year away from it (publishers
preferring LaTeX, y'know), and in revising some student notes I'm getting
errors which seem new.
For a collection of overheads, I've set up
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em={\slanted\color[red]}]
However, when I run context on my files, a command such as {\em elephant}
produces:
l.3 The {\em
elephant} is a large gray animal
? h
The control sequence marked to be read again should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.
What's going on here, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Alasdair

Re: [NTG-context] A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment
Thanks for that, but it doesn't seem to work:
I enter context myfile.tex, and a bit later:
l.26 \definehighlight
[slantedred][style=slanted,color=red]
? h
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed.
Do I have to include a special module here?

No. I tested some versions between 2011.11.29 23:11 and 2013.02.26
00:17 and it worked for me. Which version are you using?
\definehighlight is nothing which was recent added.
\setupbodyfontenvironment
[default]
[em=slantedred]
\definehighlight
[slantedred]
[style=slanted,

\starttext

You cannot update, you can try this instead of \definehighlight:
\definealternativestyle
[slantedred]
[{\slanted\color[red]}]

[NTG-context] Arranging framed text without gaps
Dear all,
I am trying to create a table where the entries have determined width and
height. They typically are
something like
\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align={center,middle}{Text}
and I understand that I will be responsible for making the dimensions so that
everything fits nicely.
After playing around without much success with the various tables, I came up
with the following
which is not exactly ConTeXt-like:
\setupframed[
width=5cm,
height=4cm,
location={middle},
align={center,middle}
]
\setupbodyfont[24pt]
\starttext
\hbox{{\framed{Jim}}{\framed{Mary}}{\framed{John}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Patsy}}{\framed{Bob}}{\framed{Linda}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Mike}}{\framed{Babsy}}{\framed{Bill}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Liz}}{\framed{Dave}}{\framed{Jenny}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Dick}}{\framed{Sue}}{\framed{Chuck}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Maggie}}{\framed{Joe}}{\framed{Dolley}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Tom}}{\framed{Lisa}}{\framed{Chris}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Nancy}}{\framed{Paul}}{\framed{Betty}}}
\stoptext
I get small gaps between the horizontal rows which I don't like.
Also, in my (possibly not quite up to date) MkIV, the texts isn't centered.
In MkII it is.
My questions:
How do I
-- achieve the desired layout (exact dimensions, frames, no gaps) the right
way,
-- without gaps between horizontal rows
-- with text centered in the frames also in MkIV?
Thanks a lot -
Matthias

There is no “right” way. Here's how I would approach that:
\usemodule
[database]
\definefont
[MyBigFont]
[Serif at 24pt]
\defineseparatedlist
[MyTable]
[before=\bTABLE, after=\eTABLE,
first=\bTR, last=\eTR,
left=\bTD, right=\eTD,
setups=my:table]
\startsetups [my:table]
\setupTABLE [split=yes, width=5cm, height=4cm, style=MyBigFont]
\setupTABLE [each] [align={middle,lohi}]
\stopsetups
\starttext
\startMyTable
Jim, Mary , John
Patsy , Bob , Linda
Mike , Babsy , Bill
Liz, Dave , Jenny
Dick , Sue , Chuck
Maggie , Joe , Dolley
Tom, Lisa , Chris
Nancy , Paul , Betty

Re: [NTG-context] A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment
Actually, maybe my version is a bit old: context --version
returns 2011.05.18 18:04. I'll try to update it. (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04,
but when I tried to update using apt-get the system told me that I had the
latest version). In the meantime I'll try your alternative.
Thanks!

It is best to install ConTeXt standalone in a parallel directory. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone @Mojca: What's with the name of the distribution. The wiki has a mix of minimals, standalone, and suite. Can we converge on one name for the distribution.

This looks really clean. I wish I had known about this neat trick while
working on my thesis. I guess this is the difference between a novice
user and an expert user of ConTeXt.
Thank you Marco,
