Re: [NTG-context] question on the luaTeX installation
Dear Thomas and Aditya, Thank you for the reply. TEXMFLOCAL, TEXMFDIST is the order in texmf.cnf. So the order in .luatex is OK. 1. I changed '/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local' in the .luatex file to '/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local' %%% echo $TEXMF {/Users/dalyoung/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/ dalyoung/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/Users/dalyoung/Library/texmf,/usr/ local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var,/usr/ local/texlive/2007/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local,/usr/local/ texlive/2007/texmf-dist} %% 2. 'luatools --generate'. 3. Then it locate the files in right positions. $ luatools cont-new.tex /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex And I succeeded to create the format file and a very simple test file worked very well. I don't know what is the difference between '/texlive/2007/../texmf- local/' and '/texlive/texmf-local/'. Thank you for your concern again.

[NTG-context] Tables in headers
First post on this list... I have been using LaTeX for several large projects during the last 10 years and just recently tried to switch to ConTeXt due to the claim of easier handling of custom page layout. So far it is an enjoyable experience... I would need to customize my page headers with a custom table (like LaTeX's tabular environment) instead of just changing the text in the left and right corners. From the quick browsing I have been doing of documentation and articles at contextgarden this feature called "layers" might be what I am looking for. But before trying to grasp this feature I would like to ask any experienced ConTeXt user for the recommended approach to achieve what I am trying to do... So, to conclude: "How do I customize my page header to contain a table instead of the predefined style?"
