i need to separate the multi column sub-output routine first as well as to add

[NTG-context] shortcut to TOC page from any page
Hi, I would like to make a shortcut to TOC page in my document. The idea is from any page of the doc when I do this shortcut (keyboard or mouse) I return to the TOC.

Mats Broberg wrote: - I tested with the inital H and [Lines=4,Hang=.1,Nindent=20pt,Findent=20pt]. This makes the H itself be indented too (see enclosed dump). It seems that Findent adds space both before and after the dropcap, when it only should add after the dropcap. That was a bug, so, although I promised I wouldn't do this ... here is version four. ;-) - The text font seems to be defaulted to small capitals. However, this is merely one of the conventions how text after a dropcap is set. Other conventions include e.g. roman or italic caps, roman or italic lower case etc. You can set the 'TextFont' parameter to something else. - Regarding the slope one should be able to set indentation separately for each line. This depends on the fact that some characters call for a different type of intendation of the lines - e.g. the character L. I will keep this in mind for a future extension - Sometimes there is a need to indent the dropcap slightly itself, e.g. if one uses a quotation mark before the dropcap. So a parameter to control that would be great. You can set the 'Hang' parameter to a negative value.

[NTG-context] Problem with \placefigure before \startcolumns
Hi,
I have a problem, when I place a graphic on a page, start columns,
and use a \chapter in that column. The following code demonstrates
it. I get the space needed for the graphic in the column, but the
graphic is already placed above the \startcolumns. Without the
\chapter the space vanishs.
\starttext
\placefigure[left]{}{\framed[height=2cm]{graphic}}
\input tufte \par
\startcolumns[n=2]
\chapter{}
\dorecurse{4}{\input tufte \par}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
I use ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.2.7 from TeTeX 3.0.

all lists automatically generate a reference, so

should work

[NTG-context] TeX run : 8 (vs. 2 ?)
Hi, a ConTeXt document that is typeset under WinXP needs 2 runs. The same document (and the same typescript, map files, font files) when typeset under OSX (Gerbens i-installer used) needs 8 runs!!!

[NTG-context] controlling blank pages at end of part
How does one control headers and footers at the end of a part, such as a
chapter?
There are two scenarios I am trying to figure out, one in which the
the blank pages at the end of a part have headers, and one in which they
don't.
I can't figure out how to do either. Instead, I am getting a mixture of
headers and non headers.
First page in first part.
\page
Second page in first part.
\page
Third page in first part.
\page[quadruple]
\setuphead[part][header=high, page=right]
\part{}
This gives me two empty (no headers) pages, followed by a page with a
header, followed by the first page in the next part.
If I replace \page[quadruple] with \page[blank], my last page in the
previous part loses its border.
I can do:
Third page in first part.
\page
\page[blank]
But then the first page in the next part loses its headers.
I suppose there is a way to turn the headings off for a page or two?
\page
\setupheader[state=stop]
\part{}
\setupheader[statue=normal]
% this code also does not work!
Thanks
Paul
