[NTG-context] Fwd: Problem with ConTeXt minimal
Dear ConTeXt experts, I followed the steps in: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals to install to the conTeXt minimals. After completing the installation and when I run texexec.exe I get the following error: mtxrun:9289: attempt to concatenate local 'v' (a table value) What is the problem? and how to solve it?

Re: [NTG-context] \stretched in chapter titles in MKII
Further experimentation has found a partial solution. However, I am still
unable to get the chapter title line to stretch properly:
%works fine as is except that chapter title is hardcoded
%errors when hardcoded title is replaced with #2
%doesn't error when title is replaced with {#2} but title is not stretched
%number of closing }s determined by trial and error
\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text
{ \framed[frame=off,align=middle]
{{\hbox to \hsize {\ss\stretched{Chapter {#1
\par
{{\hbox to \hsize {\switchtobodyfont[20pt]{\ss\bf\stretched{My
Chapter Title}}}
\setuphead[chapter]

Subject: [NTG-context] \stretched in chapter titles in MKII
I am trying to stretch two lines of text to the same width for use as a
chapter head.
I have two major problems:
1. The second line of text is appended to the end of the first line instead
of being placed below it.
2. I get errors when using #1 and #2 as values, i.e {Chapter #1} and {#2}.
Because of these errors I have hardcoded the values in the example that
follows:
\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text
{\hbox to \hsize {\ss\stretched{Chapter 1}}
\par
\hbox to \hsize {\ss\bf\stretched{Test Chapter Title}}}

Re: [NTG-context] Newbie: floats with Context 2009 (Ubuntu). How do I use this workaround?
Hello,
Sorry I did not get back to you earlier, it got hectic starting Monday
morning.
I am sorry but I do not understand what exactly I am supposed to do.
I installed following those instructions from Luigi, on a previous message:
Open a shell as a root and then
# mkdir -p /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-
03
# cd /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03
# rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
# bash first-setup.sh ## wait a bit...
# cd tex
# . setuptex
When I run luatools --generate, I get this :

(etc...)
The context executable is located in:
/opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03/tex/texmf-linux/bin
What am I supposed to put into my .profile file?
export PATH = /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03/tex/texmf-linux/bin(??)
Is it what you meant by
I don't know those two programs in detail. But as a general rule, you
need to add
/path/to/tex/texmf-
linuxorwhateverelse/bin
to PATH. ?
Is it then that I have to run luatools --generate?
I am sorry but I am not famiiar with this type of installation, and I am
having a hard time figuring out the difference between the use of
/path/to/ as in /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03/tex/texmf-linux/bin and
/path/to as in . /path/to/setupetex...
I hope you don't mind my questions and that I can finish this installation.
Thank you again very much in advance.

I am using Kile as an editor, and warming up to using Emacs. How is this
minimals installation accessed by either of those two programs?
I don't know those two programs in detail. But as a general rule, you
need to add
/path/to/tex/texmf-linuxorwhateverelse/bin
to PATH. If you run Kile or Emacs from terminal, all you need to do is
to use . /path/to/setupetex or adjust path before you run Kile or
Emacs. You can also put that into .bashrc. I have no idea how to
handle PATH if you run Kile from Start Menu, but PATH adjustments
need to be somewhere under settings. Under Kile you can just as well
adjust PATH in command-line.
For Emacs: you don't need any adjustment unless you also run ConTeXt
documents from within Emacs. I use Vim in one terminal and compile
documents in the other.

Thanks, Wolfgang. You have not only solved my immediate problem but have
also provided me with examples of using the \deep commands. I haven't found
enough documentation of them yet to get through my thick skull an
understanding of what they do and how to use them. Can you explain to me the
significance of the [1]s after the defines?
I would still like to be able to convert chapter numbers to words without
impacting the table of contents. I am confused about how
\determineheadnumber and \currentheadnumber work. It appears to me that
\determineheadnumber places the chapter number in a register and
\currentheadnumber retrieves that value. I tried inserting \numstr before
\currentheadnumber. That converts the chapter number to text and doesn't
mess up the TOC but the first line is no longer stretched. Clearly, I don't
understand this very well at all.

I've tried to modify this code to change the chapter numbers to words. That

not the numbers' words. I also get errors when I try to get all caps by

_ is a special character for TeX. You can change this behaviour globally with
\nonknuthmode or you can escape the _ locally by using the backslash.
