[NTG-context] Orphans and Windows
G'day everyone, I use introductory sentences to numbered lists all the time, like this (where \startnlist...\stopnlist is a custom itemised list): To remove a foo from a pool of foos: \startnlist \item Do this... \item Do that... \item ...and so on... \stopnlist On occasions, I am getting that introductory sentence as an orphaned line at the end of a page and my numbered list as the first thing on the next page. How can I avoid that? There is not much about orphans and widows on the Wiki or in the reference manual. Thank you, Malte. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

[NTG-context] Referencing problem
Hi all,
To include in a text several graphics that for some reason must have the same
figure number (with suffixes .a, .b etc.), I use
\\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=,title={},group=,groupsuffix=]
{\externalfigure[]}
\stopplacefigure
an experimental solution that Hans gave me in april (Ref. ntg-context Digest,
Vol 106, Issue 4, Date:14 April 2013) and which works perfectly.
My problem is: how can I refer in my text to this set of figures (instead of to
the separate figures). I have tried to use group as the label for
referencing, as it is the only argument that all figures have in common, but my
trials failed and I have no idea how to accomplish this. (The wiki is too vague
for me on this point.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Robert Blackstone___

Dear list,
I wonder whether this would be interesting to the luajittex developers,
but for some strange reason when I invoke context with
--engine=luajittex, only some system fonts are found.
My guess is that with luajittext the most recently installed system
fonts aren't the ones not found.
Just in case it might help,
maybe there is something wrong in your setup as it works ok here
maybe deleting the cache helps
Many thanks for your help, Hans.
That was it. Deleting the cache made luajittex find all fonts.
I assume there my be something wrong on my setup, since I cannot reload
font cache at /home/user/, but I can at any other directory.
I get this message at /home/user:

[NTG-context] two questions on paragraphed linenotes
Dear Hans, I'd like to introduce a friend into composing critical editions using ConTeXt. I have made some tests myself, and I'd like to know a couple of issues about paragraphed linenotes before start explaining. The first issue is about note split. When I started using ConTeXt, I realized that footnotes might be placed in the next page (unless split=verystrict is set). Fearing the same results in linenotes, I set this, but this lead to wrong separation between body and notes (at least on my examples). My question is: does the default split value for paragraphed linenotes keep all notes in the same page? The second question is on the space before linenotes that separates from text body. With your fix from last week, things have improved a lot. You told me is tricky. If you allow me a (naive) question: wouldn't it be possible that ConTeXt would check whether body lines respect the before distance of the first paragraphed linenotes and move as many lines that don't respect this distance to the next page? There are another issues. I'd love to use ConTeXt for critical editions. But I need to know both issues first.
