Do miktex users have kpsewhich on their system (or is this an option), or should i use a miktex specific search tool?

Re: [NTG-context] pagination bug
Hans and all, I do not use grid mode perhaps somebody who does could check that nothing is wrong.

[NTG-context] Re: Grid, section, grid=top
Dear ConTeXt hackers, did you look at the options described in details.pdf? maybe grid=page will help; OK, yesterday I have played with my problem a bit and here is a testfile. I need grid=top for the extra distance between the previous paragraph and the sectionheading. So grid=page can only be an option if the section starts at the first line on a page. (Which indeed solves my problem; just saying \setuphead[somehead][grid=top] for the problematic section headings works fine, but this is ... well I guess I don't have to explain). another option is to set the topskip to strutheight (something \setupinterlinespace[top=.72]) Hmm, no effect I can see.

[NTG-context] Getting { in the input.
Again I'm having some problems generating my ASCII table, this time it's { and } that are the culprits. I'm currently using $\{$ and $\}$ for them, but it would be great if there was a way to get them rendered like the other characters that have \type{...} surrounding them. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this...is there perhaps a hard one? nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull:: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA:: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(linux[\021%six\012\0],(linux)[have]+fun-97);} ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hello all, is there a list of know nath bugs somewhere on the web? I tried to find one using Google, but unfortunately without success. The reason I'm asking this is that I'm encountering some problems with the module and would like to know if they are common or if it's related to my configuration. First of all, using the units module together with nath doesn't seem to work - for instance, $1\Micro\Coulomb$ works as expected without nath, but produces the error message Please don't say \def cs{...}, say \def\cs{...} when used together with nath. I also thought that delimiters like ( or [ should automatically adjust to the formula they contain, but (\sum_{something} \frac{something}{something}) only produces standard parentheses. Commands like \lbrace or \lbrack work as expected, though. If these problems are unknown, I can post a small example file and my logfile.
