it should not bark on the cp8bit (btw the latest version should use natural.tcx which is in the context distribution, cp8bit is flawed and not really 8 bit [straight in->out mapping is needed for instance for
runtime xslt processign and such]; next year we can use -8bit
(this whole 8 bit mess-up has been hauting me for years -)

yes. It gives me cont-en, cont-nl, metafun and mptopdf in the

BTW: I use the current texlive (the last one shipped to members of
local tugs)
hm, i always have the impression that that version is sensitive for the location of
the cpx files; because i setup the texmf vars more rigurously --alone puts the formats
where they belong;
future versions of tex live need more care: officially the formats will go under subpaths in web2c, but tetex will not follow that scheme; so, it's good to keep an eye on where formats finally end up; since you install fonts yourself, you may also take a look at the enc/map settings (below); the textools script (in distribution) is able to correct the tree -)

[NTG-context] Re: Installation problem
Hello Hans and Matt,
here is my solution:
in texexec.ini change
set TeXFormatFlag to &
into:
set TeXFormatFlag to
(empty)
and run texexec like:
texexec --tex=pdfetex file.tex
this is because texexec checks
if ( $TeXFormatFlag eq "" ) {
if ($TeXProgram =~ /(etex|pdfetex)/) {
$TeXFormatFlag = "-efmt=" ; # >=2004 -fmt=
} elsif ($TeXProgram =~ /(eomega)/) {
$TeXFormatFlag = "-eoft=" ; # >=2004 obsolete
} elsif ($TeXProgram =~ /(aleph)/) {
$TeXFormatFlag = "-fmt=" ;
} else {
$TeXFormatFlag = "-fmt=" ;
}
}
and $TeXProgram is not set to $TeXExecutable (why the two different vars?)

indeed, the texexec.rme file is changed accordingly; i needed that
change because & is giving to much problems in nested calls; also, next
year there will be changes again because from now on web2c formats will
be fmt, like
web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt
instead of
web2c/cont-en.efmt
(currently both -efmt and -fmt are handled by the latest pdfetex) ; i
didn't check miktex yet
<>and $TeXProgram is not set to $TeXExecutable (why the two different

dunno, must have a look

I was thinking of all kinds of day-to-day documents, like the letter template I mentioned. I could not find one according to DIN-standards, so I did some trial-and-error experiments and created my own. Arguments for a collection could be: 1) Perhaps a comprehensive and classified collection of sample documents could spare others such time consuming trials. 2) On the other hand, my template could for sure be further improved (beyond the level, I am capable of), so by putting it on a WIKI, I may get hints and feedback by others. What was your motivation for mentioning such a collection on the WIKI? Another advantage of the WIKI would be the following: I am often lost, when I try to remember, where I found a certain hint/trick/technique I am remembering. If there is a place where everyone can edit pages and include hints or links to information, then there would be no need to create more and more separate web sites about ConTeXt, because the content could be placed in the WIKI, or it could at least be linked from there. -- Holger F.

Hi all, the idea of the keywords is very nice... in http://wiki.tcl.tk you can search for a specific page using the url like in http://wiki.tcl.tk/file even more, you can search all pages containing a word like in: http://wiki.tcl.tk/menu* perhaps it could be copied for ConTeXt wiki...don´t know how tclers do theirs, but I guess they use tcl and they more or less can give some advice.

[NTG-context] tables
Does someone knows where there is information on the table environment in ConTeXt? I have read the intro on ConTeXt and the pamphlets from the Pragma-site on tabulate and btable, but there seem to be a lot more options than can be found in these; I encountered something like \AR etc. whose effects I could not figure out with some tests. Also there is some mention of Wichura's manual. Is this somewhere to be found on the internet? Thanks in advance.

the line appears but the command fails
my ConTeXt is the latest...just downloaded
my TeX is the one that comes bundled with cygwin:
This is TeXk, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5)
also
This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.4.5)
the poor thing says that it cannot make:
