Compile this and you will notice that the alignment parameters {left,
middle, middle, middle} are ignored. And you can change these to
anything else (left, middle, right), with absolutely no change. Any
idea what is going on here?
Wrong syntax. It should be
\startalign[n=4,align={left,}]
I would strongly suggest to use
\NC \NC bb \NC d \NR
instead of raw and \\.

The align= seems to make no difference. In fact, I had tried
including it before.
Also, I'm finding that the {left,middle, middle, middle} parameters
are still ignored when using the Context syntax \NC \NR, as in:
\startformula
\startalign[n=4,align={left, middle, middle, middle}]
\NC aaa\NC b\NC \NC d\NR
\NC a\NC bbb\NC c\NC ddd\NR
\stopalign
\stopformula
Interestingly enough, the alignment is slightly different than I get
when using the LaTeX syntax, but I still can't get alignment to work
correctly.
Incidentally, the reason I am using the LaTeX syntax is that we are
translating LaTeX code into Context automatically using a perl
script, and it's therefore much easier to stick to whatever LaTeX
code works. Basically, I just want something comparable to the array
environment in LaTeX, which works very nicely.
Thanks,
Bruce

[NTG-context] Hiding subanswer blocks
All,
Below I have our environment for our question and answer blocks. We
are attempting to have questions that have parts, as in:
1. Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada.
1a) Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada.
1b) Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada.
1c) Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada,
2,
2a)
2b)
Etc.
However, we want to hide some of the shortsubanswers. We try with:
\beginshortanswer
\startanswer
\startsubanswer[-]
\stopsubanswer
\startsubanswer[-]
\stopsubanswer
\startsubanswer[-]
\stopsubanswer
\startsubanswer
\startbuffer
...
When typeset, the first three subanswers here are hidden, but the
first subanswer that is not hidden, which should be the answer to
part d, it winds up be labeled part a in the pdf output.
Can anyone help?

[NTG-context] switching font encodings
Hello,
I have to print plenty of utf-8-encoded entries from a database. I
will probably output entries as
\contestant{name}{country}{code},
for example
\contestant{Đức Đặng}{VNM}{1}
I have defined
\def\contestant#1#2#3{...#1...}
But what's the easiest way to change the encoding to t5 if the country
code is VNM and to some other encoding if country code is RUS, SER (or
one of other countries using Cyrillic)?
I'll probably use
\usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][ec] % for most of entries
\setupbodyfont[antykwa]
I wanted to use XeTeX, but that I figured out/remembered that XeTeX
doesn't yet support inclusion of images which I need for this
document.
Thanks a lot,
Mojca
(I need this pretty soon.)

There is \startmathmatrix \stopmathmatrix which is equivalent to latex
