[NTG-context] character spacing for guillemets in English
Is there a global way to insert a very thin (ca 1pt) unbreakable space before a right guillemet and after a left guillemet when the main language and character spacing are English, so that “«” and “»” in my source file are processed properly? The font that I am using puts them too close to the enclosed characters (typically, Greek). Basically, I need to borrow the French spacing for these two characters but have not been able to figure out how to do this from the ConTeXt source files.

[NTG-context] Two questions about registers
Hi list, I have two questions regarding registers. 1. How to change the title of the register (placed by \completeregister) and its numbering style? (Assume that e.g. I want it to be an unnumbered section and not a numbered chapter.) 2. I'd like my register not to have the headers with subsequent letters of the alphabet. I did [indicator=no] in \setupregister, but still got the *vertical spacing* between gropus of entries beginning with the same letter. Then, I did also [before={}], but then the space between entry groups is actually *smaller* than the usual interline space (confirmed by doing \showgrid). What should I do to prevent this from happening?

The problem with head style of the title of the register is still unsolved, though not critical - I can use \placeregister and supply the title myself.

[NTG-context] How to place page numbers in the margin, at the bottom of the text area?
Hi everybody, I'd like to position page numbers in the margin, at the bottom, but *not* in the footer; instead, I want them to be aligned so that their baseline coincides with the baseline of the last line on the page. Is it possible, and if yes, how?
