Hi John,
It is a good idea to read again The TeXBook, but actually I wonder why should
TeX put a horizontal line between 1 and 2 in your code?
What you are typesetting in mathmode is just 8 followed by 1 in exponent
(uppserscript) and 2 in subscript, therefore there shouldn’t be any fraction
bar between 1 and 2.
If the font you use has the character, what you want to typeset is the
character U+00BD for 1/2 or, if you want to use mathmode, either of the
solutions below (wtach the slight differences between the three versions):
\starttext
$8\tfrac{1}{2} × 11$ inch
$8\frac{1}{2} × 11$ inch
$8{1 \over 2} × 11$ inch
\stoptext
Indeed you can replace $…$ with \math{…}.
Best regards: OK

We are on the home stretch now. I added
\enableregime [utf-8]
as the first line of my
master file. Theoretically I don't need this for a
MKIV run but so much for theory.
Everything works. But there is
something wrong with my math code. There is no
horizontal bar between the 1 and the 2. I guess
I will study "The TEXbook" some more.
Just FYI, I keep personal stuff and also my
political articles in /home/safe but my
typesetting and index work goes in subdirectories
of:
/usr/local/active/
one for each project.
Thanks for your prompt and useful reply!

Hi Kate,
as far as I know, placehead=no only affects to the heading, not to the TOC.
At least, this sample works:
\setuphead[chapter][placehead=no]
\showgrid
\showstruts
\starttext
\completecontent
\dorecurse{10}{\startchapter
[title={My Chapter}] cows cows hasselt
\stopchapter}
\stoptext
Or have I misread your message or am I missing something?
I hope it helps,
Pablo

[NTG-context] Blank line before placehead=empty
Hi,
I have a document where I'm showing chapter titles in headers, rather
than on the page in the usual place in the body text area.
Using placehead=empty, what causes the blank line before the text? Is
there a way to suppress it?
I see there's no line when specifying placehead=no, but I want the
chapter heading to appear in my TOC, so that's why I'm using
placehead=empty. Or maybe there's another way to add something to the
TOC without showing anything in the document.
\setuphead[chapter][placehead=empty] % has an unwanted blank line
%\setuphead[chapter][placehead=no] % no blank line
\showgrid
\showstruts
\starttext
\startchapter[title={Something}]
cows cows hasselt
\stopchapter
\stoptext
Thank you,
--
Kate

Are you sure that character encoding in your file is utf8?
I can cause this error message, but only after replacing character
encoding in file with ISO 8859-15.
BTW, your file is in /usr/local. I thought that in Unix there was no
place like /home :-).
I hope it helps,
Pablo

I also tried this:

The error message is the same:
