This will work. I have also tons of \eqalign groups, some of them

seems fine now.

[NTG-context] ToC Problem
Hi,Article names are not displayed in my ToC, the seperators and page numbers do appear though.I set upmy heads, lists, and contents as follows:\definehead[Article][chapter]\setuphead[Article][number=no] \definelist[Article][alternative=c, criterium=all]\definecombinedlist [MyContent] [Article] [level=Article, placehead=yes, criterium=all, alternative=c] The list will render correctly but not the ToC. I could use the list rather than the combined list, but I want get combined list working as I have yet to have any success with them whem using my own heads.Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Should I also check the last few line lines. \enableregime, \setupoutput Is \setup too general (will it recognize any LaTeX document)? I don't know how slow/fast the detection is since I only use short files, but if you check the last few lines, \stoptext (together with its international alternatives) isn't a bad idea. Also, if you check the last few lines: emacs users usually put some lines of code at the end to mark the document as being written in ConTeXt. > 2.

A keyword like set tex_preferred_dialect=latex/context :) and then if tex_preferred_dialect == context if the first few lines contain \documentclass or \documentstyle, declare it latex, otherwise ConTeXt else [your script]: if the first line contains % tex= or any keywords that Hans sent or if the first six lines contain the keywords you suggested (together with international alternatives) (don't take that suggestion too seriously) Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Section Numbering
Well this should be very easy to do in context, but I can not seem to find the right switches. For a document that I am writing, I want section and subsection numbers to display as follows A. Section 1 A-1 Section 1, subsection 1 B. Section 2 and so on. What is the magic command?

I agree, but only when \obeyemptylines is in effect (i have documents
that depend on that auto-dropping of trailing empty lines in other
cases). So my patch proposal is:
\def\presetemptylastverbatimline%
{\ifcase \verbatimstatus \or \or \or \doflushverbatimline
\else \kern \zeropoint \doverbatimnobreak \doflushverbatimline \fi
%TH the next \kern is new
\kern \zeropoint }
\def\obeyemptylines%
{\let\donextemptyverbatimline\doemptyverbatimline
%TH the next reassignment is new
\let\presetlastverbatimline\presetemptylastverbatimline }
You have to add an \obeyemptylines command in your document(s), of
course.

[NTG-context] starttyping
Found something annoying with \starttyping...\stoptyping. I wanted side by side two framed texts in verbatim, one of them one line longer than the other. Of course they should align there lines. To accomplish this I put a blank line at the end of the shortest text. Alas, \starttyping does not honor a blank line at the end, although it does honors blank lines inbetween. I am inclined to call this a bug. Below a minimal example showing the blank line in between but not the one at the end. The ContextWiki site gives the same result. \starttext \startframedtext[strut=no,offset=0pt] \starttyping before blank line after blank line blank line follows \stoptyping \stopframedtext \stoptext yours sincerely, dr.

[NTG-context] Context 2006.02.03 released
Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip The current release has version 2006.02.03. The total set of distributed files now consists of eight files; the zip containing a repackaging of cont-lmt.zip and the zip containing pattern files have been deleted. The zip with windows font support has merged with the remaining zip with font metrics. A very short list of changes is given below. As usual, there is an html page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes New major features since 2006.01.12: * Support for typesetting in japanese * A set of new higher-level math commands (alignments and arrays) * Support for fonts with kerns around quotation characters Bug fixes since 2006.01.12: * mptopdf now behaves correctly on cygwin * fix for (page) floats in columnsets mode * lots of small fixes Happy TeXing, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

You need also:
\setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]
Because the default is to sort by order of appearance
in \cite commands first, and only for the remaining
part use the bbl ordering.

\switchtobodyfont is somewhat better for this because
does not do as much as a full document-wide switch
(and is therefore faster).
You may even get away with only a single font command
like \tfx, but that does not work too well if there
are embedded math formulas or font switches in your
document.
