[NTG-context] context vs texinfo
Hi, I was using context and I had to wait for 16 seconds for one run approximately. I switched to texinfo and it barely takes 2 seconds. Can you please explain the diffrence? I know context is complex but still? -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Best version of ConTeXt
What would be the best version of ConTeXt to recommend to a friend who writes novels on a PC running Windows? The person has no programming skills. He would probably require some assistance installing Tex-Live or whatever and would need a stable version because he couldn't manage frequent updates. Problems would far outweigh additional features for him.

[NTG-context] m-barcodes error
I can’t get the example in the m-barcodes module to work. I have no urgent
need to print barcodes; I was just curious. I'm writing in case I found an
easily corrected bug.
The release notes from 2010.05.08 call this module mkiv only. But according
to the log, the file m-pstricks.mkii is used. And that seems to be the
proximate cause of the error.

[NTG-context] \definecolumnsethsize
I'm using columnsets for a paper with 2 columns and copied an examples from
the wiki and the columnsets documentation to give the following commands:
\definecolumnset[colset][n=2]
\setupcolumnset[colset][2][distance=5mm]
\definecolumnsethsize{colset}{1}{1}\One
\definecolumnsethsize{colset}{1}{2}\Two
...
\placefigure[btlr][fig:ex1]{caption1}{\externalfigure[example1][width=\One]}
% One column figure
\placefigure[btlr][fig:ex2]{caption1}{\externalfigure[example2][width=\Two]}
% Two column figure
The figures appear okay, but they are quite a bit smaller than the textwidth
of the columns. Can someone explain the workings of \definecolumnsethsize?
I've looked at the code and it means nothing to me! The columnsets document
only gives examples, no definition.
Thanks verily,
Richard
