[NTG-context] Re: Some proposed improvements for t-amsl.tex.
Hello Moses (uh ... I hope that's the name and Brooks is the
surname ... :)),
thank you very much for your email; it's very detailed and
useful, which is why I've only replied this late (well, also
because vacation-style RL popped in, but I digress :))
I'll address a couple of points replying under the relevant
text.

Stop #1. I *enormously* love this idea. Have you been running
test cases with this code instead of the one in t-amsl? If so,
then I'll put it in the official t-amsl instantly.

I like it. The only thing I would fix is that instead of the
fixed 0pt and 4pt I would set up some \dimens
(\intersomethingspacing or so). What do you think?
And again, if you have actually been using this code instead of
the one in t-amsl, I'll be happy to add it.

Yeah, equation numbering in ConTeXt is something which I left
"for another day" myself (I need it for the nath package as
well).

No, it's simply due to the fact that I haven't even bother to
check if it were or not, because I didn't care either way :)
The parameters are there. We'd only have to check how to use it
within the ConTeXt spacing framework.

That's because nath recatcodes the $ signs and the original
definition of \placeformula doesn't work when they are active.
(Hans, can we look into this together, please?)
Don't use $$ ... $$ with \placeformula (they should work ok for
numberless formulas though).
Actually, you've hit on one of the most strange bugs in the
nath module: it didn't support use of \startformula ...
\stopformula either! It *seemed* to work, but it didn't really
act properly. You may want to try your examples with \[ ... \]
instead of \startformula ... \stopformula, and see if you still
have the problems.
In the mean time, I will upload a new version of nath which
should also allow use of \startformula.

Hi Willi,
that's also what I experienced: the code works with very small footnotes.
I am working now on a thesis with kind of normal equipment:
Some hundred pages, about 900 footnotes with lots of them quite long (seems to be
normal nowadays for art-historians).
So what to do?

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Footnotes in margin? (HELP!)
Hi Steffen,
I tried your code and indeed I am getting also half-empty pages.
I tried then the following:
I replaced the dorecurse by
\input knuth \mynote{knuth} \blank[1cm] \input ward \mynote{ward}
\blank[1cm]
\input knuth \mynote{knuth} \blank[1cm] \input ward \mynote{ward}
\blank[1cm]
\input knuth \mynote{knuth} \blank[1cm] \input ward \mynote{ward}
\blank[1cm]
\input knuth \mynote{knuth} \blank[1cm] \input ward \mynote{ward} \page
This fills pages and the \mynotes are placed in the margin.
However I played also with text in one of the \mynotes. As long as the
text is short i.e. not longer than one width of the margin everything is
o.k. Once the text becomes longer, the page on which the \mynote is
placed shortens increasing with the length of the \mynote.
So there must be a reason which is beyond my knowledge for this behaviour.

Every time I turn on \showframe I think that the margin is such a beautiful place for placing footnotes (per page, flushbottom). There must be a way! Isn't there a way, Hans? i posted something, didn't i?

[NTG-context] Announcing a new script: TeXVersion
Hi, Sometimes I find it quite hard to discover what version of TeX + ConTeXt I am actually running. As an aid in debugging problems, I have created a Perl script that attempts to collect all relevant version information and prints it to the screen in an organized manner. Running it will generate output like this: TeXVersion 0.1 / Taco Hoekwater 2004 texexec : TeXExec 4.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 texutil : TeXUtil 7.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2002 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) context : ver: 2004.8.15 cont-en : ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2004.6.19 mes: english If you are interested, you can download the script from http://tex.aanhet.net/context/scripts/ This functionality will eventually become part of texexec. -- groeten, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
