It's even an FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=aleph, which says "The Aleph project aims to build a "usable" version of Omega, incorporating e-TeX extensions from the NTS project. Two sets of concerns have provided impetus to the project: first, that many users need the e-TeX extensions, and they're not on the Omega development path; and second, that the Omega project is currently immersed in radical restructuring of Omega, and is not able to be particularly responsive to user requirements in the short term. In the longer term, the Aleph project hope that their work will be rendered irrelevant by the development of Omega proper. The current pre-release snapshot of Aleph resides on CTAN with the rather modest name of e-Omega.

[NTG-context] Context in Portuguese
Hi ! I've been a Latex user for some time and I'm now trying to use Context to typeset some documents in portuguese using portuguese accentuated characters but I can't seem to get it working. Every time I use an accentuated character it simply doesn't shows up in the document. I'v read the docs but haven't found a solution to the problem. Can someone provide me a simple example on how to do it, or the problem I'm facing has to do with some kind of configuration that has to be done in Context ? I'v been trying to use Context using the tex iso available at pragma's website. Thank you, Miguel Queirós ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Taco already showed the solution to this (use before= and after=
commands in a \definetyping or \setuptyping command), but it might be
useful to also explain why the above doesn't work.
It doesn't work, because \starttyping, like most verbatim environments,
scans through the following text until it gets to the appropriate end
text. It doesn't expand tokens while doing this; in particular,
\stopTTinput never gets expanded, and so the sequence "\stoptyping"
never shows up to end the input.
Incidentally, there's also a bit more answer to how to do framed typing
environments in some answers to one of my questions a couple of weeks
ago; you might find it useful to look in the archives for that.

[NTG-context] Page break after a section :-(
I have some text that looks like:
\section{Flight Controls Model}
\startitemize[1]
\item The Flight Controls model
...
...
\stopitemize
ConTeXt has decided to put a page break right after the \section, so my itemized list
begins on the next page. I thought \sections were supposed to be setup with infinite
penalty between the section title and the first line of the section text itself. I
don't want to put a directive in there myself to avoid a page break

Yes, use \definetyping instead. Here is an example:
\definetyping
[TTinput]
[before={\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8]},
after={\stopframedtext}]
\starttext
\startTTinput
test
\stopTTinput
\stoptext

You must make sure that aleph, a flavor of TeX like pdfeTeX, is actually available for the Mac, then create the plain and context formats for aleph. eomega --ini *plain \dump eomega --ini *cont-en texexec --make en -tex=eomega are the relevant commands. eomega _is_ aleph. If you want to do serious work with aleph u'll have to modify the texmf.cnf file as well: comment this line extra_mem_bot.context = 400 otherwise you will meet some nasty surprises!

Hi all,
I use an overlay to implement a navigation bar in the left margin of

not available.
Does anyone know a solution? Maybe headers/footers are a solution.
But how is absolute positioning accomplished with them?
Hi Stefan, header/footer is a solution but I use another
\def\PageNavig{\setlayer[navbar][x=0cm,y=10cm]{\the\pageno}}
\appendtoks
\PageNavig
\to \everypagebody
for this task.
hm, dirty tricks -)
beware of interference, also, be careful not to introduce funny spaces then.
