Why do it again? Why not adopt some documentation system that is already widely-used and for which infrastructure and knowledge of use is already in place? I agree with your statement fully. Specification is a loaded word, too! What I was trying to say that we need convention how things are to be laid out! Setting up, maybe, a module to facilitate a common look. Otherwise the manuals will be a mess of styles and clarity. I have no investment in any particular system. I'm happily generating other types of non-computer-related documents using reStructuredText since I can easily convert that various publication formats as required without separate source files for each format. It seems to me docutils has everything that would be needed to document ConTeXt and is very widely used given the popularity of Python (which makes me cringe). If doxygen or something else would work better, so be it. The point is, **use something that exists instead of expending time and effort reinventing the wheel yet again!** I was thinking of using ConTeXt!

It’s 0.25ex on each side.
This is an undesired effect as when the printer has auto-select-page mode on

The definition of \startpagefigure in page-app.mkiv needs a change because
\externalfigureparameter\c!offset uses always the global setting.

[NTG-context] Suggestion for bibtex: command to switch between upper and lower case for title

[NTG-context] setups in the latest Context release
Hello Everyone
I have been using the following setup (provided by Wolfgang on this list)
to format my chapter headings till now. However, it does not work since
I upgraded by context installation today.
If the entire *\startlinealignment \stoplinealignment* block is
copied outside the setups then it works fine. So the change must
have been in the interface for *setups*.
Please let me know if there has been a change OR I have made some
kind of mistake.
Thank you,
