Hi all,
It is my first mail to this list.
I am using XeTeX and XeTeX + ConTeXt environment for my most files for
sometime. It worked fine and the output is really great.
I'd like to use it to create a presentation instead of using LaTeX +

Dear ConTeXters,
I'm a newcomer to ConTeXt and to this congenial and obviously active
list: please bear with me and read my story. I'll be much more
succinct in future.

You just told TeX that it's a good idea to have widows and orphans.

I don't know. But you can use

Is there a way to have these files written in some directory ./junk so

Thanks,

I still get too little whitespace between items. When I set it to any
value, like
\placepublications[before={\setupwhitespace[.1pt]}]

Thomas,
I was able to set the spacing between items in the publications list by
using

Using \setupwhitespace before \placepublications did not work for me.

This has happened to me sometimes (not on this file though),
and is usually caused by Mozilla's cache-ing the document
