[NTG-context] first steps with \dosingleempty

Hi, Regarding the following example I've got two questions. (1) Why don't I ever see the argument #2 in the output? (2) What do I have to do to suppress the unwanted space after the end of the output of this macro (as can be seen in the result before the following comma)? Regards, Juergen

[NTG-context] installation of ConTeXt

Hi, Do I really have to install ruby? I downloaded it, but can't find anything like install, setup or something like this. Even the readme is not very helpful at all. And another question: for using Ruby - and therefore ConTeXt - do I need cygwin? Regards, Juergen

[NTG-context] defining (new) macros with optional arguments

Hi, Does something like \newcommand exist in ConTeXt? My questions aims especially at the optional argument with a predefined value. So, how do I realize \newcommand{\test}[2][A]{foo} with ConTeXt. In the fine manual I found an index entry \definecommand, but in the 'rest' of the manual it

[NTG-context] german Umlaut 'ß'

Hi, My next problem seems to be the german umlaut 'ß'. Running the following example delivers only six of the seven wanted characters, while the 'ß' is left blank. I'm not sure whether this might be a problem with my editor WinEdt, but I'm sure you can show me the right direction. Regards,
