[NTG-context] Keyword order problem
Keyword order appears to matter for the \blank command. The following
example shows all orderings for the set {dimension, nowhite, samepage},
some of which work and some of which do not. It also shows two orderings
of {dimension, nowhite, samepage, disable}; one works and the other does
not. This happens with TL13 as well as the 2014-06-01 beta.
I can find no discussion of keyword ordering in the wiki, on the mailing
list, or in the manuals.
Is this intentional, and if so, with what other commands are keywords
similarly constrained? Whether or not this is intentional, can a
developer please provide a suggested ordering to use until this is
better documented or corrected? The order that keywords are presented in
the wiki and in the reference manual are among those that fail.
\starttext
\subject{Without disable}
12pt,samepage,nowhite\blank[12pt,samepage,nowhite]
works
12pt,nowhite,samepage\blank[12pt,nowhite,samepage]
fails
samepage,12pt,nowhite\blank[samepage,12pt,nowhite]
fails
samepage,nowhite,12pt\blank[samepage,nowhite,12pt]
works
nowhite,12pt,samepage\blank[nowhite,12pt,samepage]
works
nowhite,samepage,12pt\blank[nowhite,samepage,12pt]
works
\subject{With disable}
12pt,samepage,nowhite,disable\blank[12pt,samepage,nowhite,disable]
works
samepage,12pt,nowhite,disable\blank[samepage,12pt,nowhite,disable]
fails

One of your examples, the watermark one,
reminded me of what I had left off. It was the
lines:
\setuppagenumbering
[alternative=doublesided]
Dum de dum dum!
Now I have the thumbnail mark on odd but not on
even pages.
I still have a few more bits to fiddle but that
got me around my problem.
I took Hans' MKIV thumb index example and hacked
away from that point onward.
Thanks so much for your multiple examples! I was
about to retreat to Scribus. The problem with
that program is that the pdf files are about five
times bigger than a corresponding pdf from
Context.

Not sure if I understand you right, but let's give it a try :-)
You can use 'Start|Stoppage' in combination with your icon, but you end
up with a graphic as big as the page (not visible and a small data
footprint, but still some kind of 'layer mess'). Probably not the best
way to do this in ConTeXt. Anyway...
StartPage;
draw xyshifted(x,y); % shift to the desired position
StopPage;
Better alternative:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers
Example: placing a logo to the top right corner of the page
And for the different setup on left|right pages see
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Alternating_backgrounds_and_repeating_layers
The latter link is also at the bottom of the layer related page.
HTH, Peter

Re: [NTG-context] Unable To Render Table With Over 3000 Rows
Somehow I ended up with a file called cont-tmf.zip thinking it was the beta. I can't even find the (apparently obsolete) page I downloaded that from again. Anyway, installing the beta (per the context garden instructions) worked with the new default. It did pick-up changes to luatex.savesize. Thanks for the help.

[NTG-context] Broken floats when using postponing.
Hello,
The following minimal example yields an error using the latest version
from the garden:
\starttext
This is before \in{Figure}[fig:cow]
\startpostponing [+0]
\startplacefigure [reference=fig:cow]
\externalfigure [cow]
\stopplacefigure
\stoppostponing
and this is after.
\stoptext
tex error > error on line 3 in file virtual://page.nopage.1: ! Extra },
or forgotten \endgroup
\strc_floats_stop_place ...unwantedspaces \egroup
l.3 \stopplacefigure
The problem appears with the use of \startpostponing\stoppostponing
(used to prevent a paragraph break in the middle of the sentence).
Alan

[NTG-context] blank overlay
I need a graphic (a thumbnail) on the right hand
pages but not on the left hand pages. Following
the instructions in the Metafun Manual page 168 I
have assigned different pairs to the two
overlays:
\startuseMPgraphic{right page}
...
\stopuseMPgraphic
and
\startuseMPgraphic{left page}
\stopuseMPgraphic
In the left hand area I want to just create a
minimal structure that replaces the right hand
graphic overlay.
What is the minimal code I can use between the
start and stop statements?

Thank you for the reply, that was what I thought. Then it is probably only my view settings in emacs that is wrong.
