Thanks - you can tell I took your advice to look at m-r.tex a bit too
far! ;-)
Looking at the code, I do not think that you need \def\NL{NL}. Also
\NL is an internal command used in tables.
Finally, in the definition of \stopNLE, you can replace
\input \NLfile.out with \typefile{\NLfile.out} in which case you will
not need to escape all the special characters. ConTeXt will do it for
you.
OK. In fact I originally had two commands - one for verbatim-text,
the other for generating material to be included in 'ordinary
paragraphs'.
I originally had the code examples output using the vim-module. It
worked great! But I just couldn't find a colour scheme that made the
code more readable - most of the things I tried just made it look
garish and less readable. Perhaps coloured syntax listings are too
personal a thing... (And yes, it did slow down the process a tiny
bit :-))
Your manual looks good, and easy to read. I think I will give newlisp
a try to try to understand what is the whole fuss about lisp anyway :)
Have fun!

using Roland Waldi Symbole font:

Re: [NTG-context] Making a verbatim file for another language
After looking at these files a bit more closely, I decided I didn't have a week to spare. Too much to learn and too few instructions. For now I'm sticking with plain old black verbatim code listings. Sometimes one has to set one's sights a little lower...! :-) But thanks again. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] List of special characters?

[NTG-context] Making a verbatim file for another language
I'm going to try to make a 'verbatim- module' (don't know what the right word is) for another language. I've found: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/verb-pl.tex and can probably have a go at making a version of this. Some questions occur: 1: where should i put my file? 2: do I have to do anything else to get Context to recognise and use it? cheers ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Spacing after defined word: beginner's question
This must be a beginner's question, but I can't find the answer to it
in the manuals...
Take this ConTeXt source:
--
\def\Acme{%
{\ss\sc ACME}}
Welcome from \Acme. \Acme make fine products.
--
When this is made into a PDF, it looks like this:
--
Welcome from ACME. ACMEmake fine products.
--
- because I didn't have a space in the definition, I don't get a
space in the second sentence, but the period didn't interfere with
the execution of the first occurrence. But if I put a space in the
definition after the 'E', I get this:
--
Welcome from ACME . ACME make fine products.
--
- and there's a space after the first 'E', which I don't want, even
though there is now a space after the second...
What am I doing wrong?

[NTG-context] Simple itemize format that eludes me
This should be simple, but my brain is currently clogged from reading too many ConTeXt manuals, so please help! Im trying to make a simple format that Ive used elsewhere. The first part of each item (a kind of \head) is not indented, but the remaining paragraph(s) of that item are. For example: LONG_UGLY_STRING_LIKE_THIS A few sentences, indented somewhat from the left margin, that relate to the long ugly string above. The indentation allows the reader to scan the ugly strings (which might well be in alphabetical order.

[NTG-context] Thumb indexes
My last question! :-) I would like to have the various parts of a book marked with black rectangles at the right side of each page, visible when the reader flips through the pages. I googled successfully to find fancyhdr, but thats a LaTeX package, so I dont think it will work in ConTeXt.

[NTG-context] List of special characters
I cant find a definitive list of the special characters that I need to
escape when used in a ConTeXt document. Im writing a short script that
converts documents, and I need to catch some characters. Some of the TeX ones I
tried didnt work. Couldnt see it in the manuals.
Ive done the obvious ones - \%, \#, \, \$ - but wondering about some of the
others (eg ! \ # $ % ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; = ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
).
thanks!

[NTG-context] Setting up layout - basic questions
Hi there. Im a newcomer to ConTeXt, and Im so far really impressed with the power and flexibility I now have access to. Id be grateful for a few tips - Ive been reading the documentation over the last few days, and my heads getting full. Please excuse me if these questions are obvious. I want to make headings in a sans serif font, such as Helvetica, and keep the body text in serif font (such as Times). (I use these font names loosely, I have no idea which fonts I can actually use, since I cant get XeTeX working yet.) I know that I should do something like this: \setuphead [chapter] [number=yes, style=\ss] \setuphead [section] [number=no, style=\ss] but the sizes of the different levels of heading are lost... So something like 16pt for chapter, 14pt for section, 12 point for subsection? Also, is it generally possible to make all the headings start at the left margin, with everything else (eg paragraphs, lists, etc) indented? Eg: Chapter X Paragraph Section X Paragraph Subsection y Paragraph Thanks for any pointers. Im more of a FrameMaker user up to now, so I may not yet be thinking the ConTeXt way. :-) ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
