Actually, "width=288pt, textheight=432pt," gives me exactly the result I wanted. I'd just like to be able to set the distance between the top of the paper and the top of the text area directly, as in header=12pt, headerdistance=12pt, something=72pt rather than what I'm currently using: header=12pt, headerdistance=12pt, topspace=48pt, % 48 = 72 - (12+12) Is this possible, and what is the something's name? > leftmargindistance is only the distance between the textarea and the > left box for the left margin, the layout concept could be a little bit > confusing.

[NTG-context] unable update context minimal
Hi everybody...
I downloaded 'contex-setup-linux-64.zip minimals' and I have not had any
problem to install it; but, when I try to make 'ctxtools --update', it
generates.:
/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texmfstart:1755: warning: Insegure world

CtxTools | updating /opt/context/tex/texmf-context:/opt/context/tex/texmf
CtxTools | unable to change to
/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/:/opt/context/tex/texmf
I am owner of '/opt/context' and '/tmp dir' are into '/opt/context/tmp' with
'1777 permissions'. The configuration files are.:
TEXMFCACHE=/opt/contex/tmp
TEXMFTEMP=$TEXMFCACHE
TEXMF_HOME=/opt/context/tex
TEXMF_BIN=${TEXMF_HOME}/texmf-linux-64/bin
PATH=$TEXMFCACHE:$TEXMFTEMP:$TEXMF_HOME:$TEXMF_BIN:$PATH
export TEXMFCACHE TEXMFTEMP TEXMF_HOME TEXMF_BIN PATH
The 'luatex', 'xetex', ... are correct; i.e.:
luatex --version | head -1
This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007121718
xetex --version | head -1
XeTeX 3.141592-2.2-0.997 (Web2C 7.5.6)
How do I update 'contex', 'luatex', ...? Or do I download a minimum version
whenever I want to update, again and again?
Huge work guys and thanks for possible help

[NTG-context] Chemistry in lists
Hi all,
I have some chemical formulae in chapter heading and figure captions,
typeset with the chemic module. The chemic module always uses roman font as
desired.
When I include them in table of contents and list of figures, the chemical
formulae appears in math italic font instead of roman font. See the
following code for example. Chemic Manual mentioned using \rm but it doesn't
seem to be the case. $\rm H_2O$ works fine in the list, but not
\chemical{H_2O}. Any suggestions? Thank you.
