Inserting ~ works fine when using a proportional font. An extra
difficulty occurs when the figures should be centered below the
heading
of the column.
A:
There are several different kinds of tables, each uses other setups
for right-aligned columns.
see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview
NEVER use spaces (or ~) for alignment! (That's a very bad typewriter
habit!)

Dear all,
Last weekend I had my first hands-on experience with Context. I
was told
that a listing of the type of problems that I encountered would
have a
certain value to the Context project. That's why below you'll find an
overview of my beginner-questions, to some of which I already
found answers.
My aim is not to have all questions answered via the list, but
rather to
document them for later use in some kind of manual. For I know that
finding the answers is mostly a matter of searching the

PS: I have been using Latex for some years. The questions below
came up
using a stand-alone Context environment in MS Windows.
Q: Starting with Context, the use of which language is to be
preferred
for the commands?
A: The English version is most commonly applied, even in the
Netherlands
Q: If one starts in a Context document in one language, can it be
easily
converted to another language (form English to Dutch or German, for
example)?
A: This is possible, but no ready-available tool exists.
Q: Why does background=color not work inside \bTABLE ... \eTABLE?
A: Put \setupcolors[state=start] in the beginning of the document
Q: How to apply a background colour for the margin space?
A: This is possible but not easy to explain. See info by Patrick
Gundlach and the section Crossing Borders in the Metafun manual in
chapter Pagebackgrounds by Hans Hagen.
Hi Luuk,
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][background=screen]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
Q: Where to put the commands that apply to the whole document? Is
there
a 'preferred sectioning' of a Context source?
A:
You should use \environment's:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure
Often I use a file with the name layout.tex to put there all kind of
general issues to the document.
\startenvironment layout
\setupbodyfont[ss,12pt]
\setuplayout[ ...]
...
\stopenvironment

Q: The command \setupwhitespace[big] doesn't have an impact on the
paragraph spacing. What am I doing wrong?
A:
\setupwhitespace[big]

Q: Using \startcombination[*] it is possible to display several
pictures
into one figure. How could one achieve that several figures are
treated
as one picture, i.e. that they are all forced to be placed on one
page?
A:
\starttext
\setupframed[width=5cm,height=5cm]
\input knuth
\placefigure
[page]
[]
{Four blocks}
{\startcombination[2*2]
{\framed{}}{Block 1}
{\framed{}}{Block 2}
{\framed{}}{Block 3}
{\framed{}}{Block 4}
\stopcombination}
\input knuth
\stoptext
Q: One cell in a table (\bTABLE ... e\TABLE) should contain a unit
(EJ
for example) in square brackets: [EJ]. The result is that the
respective
row is not displayed at all. What is wrong? Could I possibly use the
Latex equivalent \symbol{code}?
A:
\starttext

\starttabulate[|l|]
\NC Text \NC\NR
\stoptabulate

you can also say \switchtobodyfont[rm,6pt] where ever you need to
change the fontsize and or switch from rm to ss.
Q: How can I change the fontsize of an \inmargin?
A:
\starttext

\setupinmargin[style=small]

In case that you want to place a rule beneath the running header:
\setupbackgrounds[...][...,...,...][...,...=...,...]
[...] top header text footer bottom page paper leftpage rightpage
[...,...,...] leftedge leftmargin text rightmargin rightedge
state = start stop repeat
[...,...=...,...] see \setupframed

Re: [NTG-context] Force all floats on opposite even pages
Thank you Sanjoy, Hans and Taco for the suggestions made.
My interpretation of Taco's remark is that Sanjoy's solution might not
work as expected, is that correct?
My document is rather long, so manual page breaking is not my preferred
way of doing it.
Myself I was thinking that the floats belonging to odd page n could be
put on even page n+1, and then try to renumber the pages (i.e. PDF page
n+1 gets page number n-1 printed) and then reshuffle the PDF pages.
Would that work?

Mostly for practical reasons: it depends on how complex your pages really are. In a document with complicated headers and footers and different margin widths, it could become quite a challenge to make everything in the final printed pages come out in the right spot. Other issues are things like: you 'll have to fool the page number conversion, and such pages will frustrate impositioning software completely (putting all float pages at the end results in the same practical problems). But if such things are not a concern, then it will definately beat my solution especially for a long document. Manual page breaking is tedious at best, and really only workable for static texts.

Any clue what could cause the trouble? Your font is probably only in the texmf tree, it should be installed; that is, on Mac OS X, simply double-click on the font and select “Install”. It will be put in ~/Library/Fonts (probably) and some caching utilities will be run so that in can be found by Apple's API. If you wonder why it works “out of the box” on ConTeXtgarden Live, well, it must be because someone has installed it (and I should know ;-) Arthur ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] TextMate bundle
Hello again, Thanks for prompt update. Personally, I feel it's probably more flexible to have two distinct command, one for pdftex, and another for xetex... Here is one for you. It is just a duplicate of 'typeset' with the following command: CTX_ENGINE=xetex typeset_contextfile Same key equivalent, same scope.

The best I could find using Google's filetype:pdf site:pragma-ade.com is a document named cont-eni.pdf. Yes, this is *the manual*. Which says (on raw PDF page no. 65): In your source file you can best use an empty line between paragraphs. This increases readability and it makes the typing of \par at the end of each paragraph obsolete. Indentation at every new paragraph is obtained by: \setupindenting[medium] You will find the whole family (all manuals) here: http://www.pragma-ade.com/document-1.htm If I remember correctly that was among the top hits I got from Google in my search for ConTeXt documentation (I forgot the exact key words I used). But as seems obvious from my present case, the documentation appears to be out-of-date. So is there a list of more up-to-date documentation that I can download and read off-line? (My Internet connection at home is limited, although for downloading I have access to high-speed Internet cafes.) An up-to-date cheat sheet containing all commands and options or arguments would be fine. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
