[NTG-context] Setting a maximum table/column width
Hi,
The "excursion" manual describes how to use w(dim) to set a column's
minimum width. Is there a way to set a column's maximum width so that
text automatically wraps around?
Alternatively, is there a way to set a table's maximum width so that it
doesn't get wider than \textwidth? I tried using \SetTableToWidth{} at
random locations but I either got errors or no improvement whatsoever.
Thanks,
Flavio

which certainly does look a bit funny.
can you check your cp8bit.tcx file? it probably isn't 8 bit -) should be:
0x00 0x00 %
0x01 0x01 %
0x02 0x02 %
0x03 0x03 %
0x04 0x04 %
etc

As you can see, as a result of the UTF-8 errors the .tui file isn't
being successfully read, so I'm getting no register entries and hence
no tables of contents ( or bookmarks).
I'm in the process of composing a minimal example file, but it's tough
going and I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction
from the information in the error message.
I'd be really grateful! (Impossible deadlines approach...)
in cont-new (or cont-sys) you can say:
\def\testbytesequence{}
This 'test' was added in order to determine of tex runs in 8 bit mode. I wonder where the Malformed message comes from. Since when is perl utf-8 by default?
(i run perl 5.8.0)

So it responds to (plain) TeX commands. LaTeX and ConTeXt are macro packages that are written in TeX. So your LaTeX or ConTeXt commands are eventually just translated into TeX commands as well. MacOSX LaTeX people already have xelatex going. It's not terribly hard to get "texexec --tex=xetex" to work, either. (Hint: do "xeinitex cont-en" and use the resulting cont-en.xfmt file.) Colors, graphics, and transformations need \specials, and there are some font quoting tricks to do, as well. >So, when you say you're working on XeTeX drivers for ConTeXt does that >mean that I can write normal context code but typeset with XeTeX instead >of pdfeTeX?

Ah, that would be why I asked about *your* requirements and timeframe. This is an avocation for me--I have a PhD thesis to write soon, so I don't want to commit to a timeframe for a side (albeit interesting) project. I can help you get started, and I will concentrate on the features you want most, but to do that, I need your requirements. I think Hans will agree that real users drive things forward, and that's what I see xecontext needing. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

As far as I understood I order to typeset text in xetex you have to use basically plain TeX-commands. So, when you say you're working on XeTeX drivers for ConTeXt does that mean that I can write normal context code but typeset with XeTeX instead of pdfeTeX? That would be great.

[NTG-context] Text overwrites float instead of wrapping around it
Hi Hans and all,
The example below demonstrates text completely overwriting a figure
(with Debian sid & TeTeX version 2.0.2b-1).
\starttext
\setupfloats[spacebefore=,spaceafter=]
\reservefigure[height=2cm,width=4cm,frame=on][left]{}

I processed the TeX file using texexec --output=pdftex filename.tex
