Currently, I use:

Also, in order to restore gobbled space following,%

\stopfootnote
I use the following setup:
\setupnote [footnote] [next={ }]
So \setupnotation, \setupnote, \setupnotes is confusing.
Of course, there is
strc-not.mkvi:\let\setupnotes\setupnote
so \setupnotes is just a synonym for \setupnote.
And then there is also:
strc-not.mkvi:\let\setupnotations\setupnotation
From what I understand, footnotes can be handled using different

[NTG-context] MAC (preview, finder) and ConTeXt pdf
Hello, A colleague who uses a very recent MacBook with the latest MacOS has a problem with PDF files that I provide produced with ConTeXt/luatex. It appears that he cannot search for words (text) in the document, neither with preview nor in the finder (they must be based on the same code). However, I had him install Adobe Reader, and using this he can search for text in the ConTeXt produced document, so I do not believe that the PDF has a problem, rather this is a bug with the Apple PDF tools. Does anyone else using MacOS have any experience with this? Or can you all search for text (words) within ConTeXt produced PDF documents using preview and the finder?

[NTG-context] TEXpage filename
Hello,
In the production of (scientific) articles for journal submissions,
one is often expected to supply the figures as separate files.
One workflow can be through the use of \startTEXpage\stopTEXpage
followed by an external extraction of single pdf pages to separate
files.
However, is it possible or would it be possible to directly output to a
named file, as in:
\startTEXpage{figure1.pdf}
\stopTEXpage
or perhaps
\startTEXpage [file=figure1.pdf]
\stopTEXpage
? (I could not find an answer looking at the source.)
One could then (optionally) reinclude the figure in a review copy of
the full text through the use of \externalfigure [figure1]

[NTG-context] rotated placetable
Hello,
On October 1, 2010 Mojca asked about inserting a rotated page content
(landscape) in an otherwise portrait document, keeping the headers and
footers upright. The suggested solution was essentially
\rotate [rotation=90] {\startTEXpage
[width=\textheight,height=\textwidth]
...
\stopTEXpage}
I would like to place a wide table rotated as above, keeping the page
headers and footers upright. In other words, I would like to do
something like
\startplacetable [location=page,orientation=90,title=Table
caption]
...
\stopplacetable
That is, rotate the table contents *and its caption*, but not the page
header and footer.
Note that the following will indeed rotate the contents but not the
caption.
\startplacetable [title=Table caption]
\rotate [rotation=90] {\startTEXpage
...
\stopTEXpage}
\stopplacetable

\stopplacefigure
Two problems, though:
1. I tried label= in \setupcaption to suppress Figure . This does not work,
and looking at the source I do not see how to do this...
2. Missing is some way to reset the figureitem counter automatically with each
\startfloatcombination.
It looks as if it could be a nice feature to add new keywords like before=
and after=.
Maybe beforeall= and afterall=, beforefirst= and afterlast=, ...
I suppose that the above brings little advantage over the \definelabel solution
previously suggested.

Re: [NTG-context] float combinations
This is probably not exactly what you want, however, one can use list=
in \startplacefigure\stopplacefigure to differentiate between the
figure caption and its listing in the list of figures.
\startplacefigure [title={Dutch scenery.
\startitemize [n]
\startitem A cow. \stopitem
\startitem A mill. \stopitem
\stopitemize},
list=Figure title,
reference=fig:scenery]
\startcombination [2]
{\externalfigure [cow] [width=.5\textwidth]} {a}
{\externalfigure [mill] [width=.45\textwidth} {b}
\stopcombination
\stopplacefigure
A cow is shown in \in{figure} [fig:scenery]a.
The above example raises the following (low priority) feature
suggestion: How about some way of automatically numbering/labeling
combinations just like item lists? Sort-of a hybrid between
combination and itemize. Say,
\startcombination [r*c] [item=a]
\startitem \externalfigure [cow] \stopitem
\startitem \externalfigure [mill] \stopitem
\stopcombination
Hmm. A challenge for Hans (as if he is not busy enough).
(However, I am sure that Wolfgang can suggest an obvious solution that
is already available, that I overlook... :)

[NTG-context] hyperlink bug in \cite
Hello, \cite[A] can yield a hyperlink to the bibliography. However, \cite[A,B] does not (and should). I suppose that this could be a bit complicated when using numbered references (rather than Author, year), in the particular case where one collapses the list of numbers, in which case the hyperlink could naturally point to the first numbered reference of the list.

[NTG-context] Unnumbered chapters (title), numbered appendices
Hello, I am having difficulties with the use of unnumbered chapters (\title) as well as the use of appendices. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles#Unnumbered_titles_in_table_of_contents gives a few recipes for the use of unnumbered titles and their inclusion in the table of contents. Unfortunately, they do not work! \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead [intro] [number=no] will increment the chapter number, as does \setuphead [title] [incrementnumber=yes,number=no] trying coupling=no gives missing number errors (in the toc). Furthermore, placing chapters into \frontmatter and \backmatter might not always be a solution. In a document structured in *parts*, one might want to have an introduction (and other front matter) as well as conclusions (and other back matter). One needs a means of switching section blocks, for example, without resetting everything. Maybe this can become an option in \startfrontmatter [reset=no] \startappendices [reset=no] \startbackmatter [reset=no] for example, or else: \setupsectionblock [appendix] [resetnumber=no] % number=yes|no Another route could be through the use of the *mysterious* structureresetset \definestructureresetset [default] [0,0] [1] % do not reset parts and chapters \setuphead [part,chapter] [sectionresetset=default] coupled somehow to the section blocks.

There's lots of aspects there that don't appeal to me, but I find the general idea very nice: a presentation is sort of a big poster, with some background graphics. You define areas on this poster into which your content goes (so these would be the slides in a conventional presentation). When you show your presentation, your viewer will zoom in on these areas and present them full screen, and it will move along a predefined path, thus showing the areas (slides) in a certain order. The nice thing is that you can, at any moment, zoom out and show the entire poster, thus giving an overview of your presentation in which only the bigger elements (headlines etc.) will be readable. Now I was wondering if the same couldn't be done with ConTeXt, pdf and javascript: producing a big pdf with a background image would be fairly easy (metapost's vector graphics would look good at any zoom level). Placing slides with content there could be done via layers. Zooming in and showing certain areas is doable (but obviously would depend on the pdf viewer, especially for the full screen mode). I have no idea if we have support for rotating areas in a pdf viewer. Would javascript be capable of automating this, i.e. defining areas in a pdf, displaying them at a certain zoom level, and move from one area to the next? I think this would be a nice alternative to traditional slide shows. Thomas Very fashionable, phluffy, breaks the ice at parties... I sat through a prezi presentation recently. The speaker took us on a long trip. It was cool! But in the end, there was not much to retain, and I thought: where's the beef?.

has a side effect, probably a feature, that a citation in a later
chapter to a cited reference from an earlier chapter will *not* repeat
the reference in the later chapter's list of references. This seems
somewhat confusing to the reader but indeed is most likely a feature.
I see two solutions:
A. Better organization of the text so that this confusing situation
does not arise, either rewriting or else having the list of references
come at the end of all of the chapters involved, perhaps grouped in a
common structure such as a part.
B. Allowing a repeat of the publication in all the pertinent lists,
perhaps as an optional setting.
What do the bibliographical specialists think?

There is \starttabulate and \starttable.
I understand that they use different mechanisms, even though their
syntax are parallel. The wiki page [1] warns against the use of macros
in tabulate, but this seems a bit obscure. Also, Tables_Overview
recommends tabulate for simple tables and flags both table and tables as
depreciated. I hesitate to add this information at the top of the wiki

of these three mechanisms...

Re: [NTG-context] MPinclusions, MPextensions, MPinitializations and MPinstances
I am glad to see that I am not alone being confused...
We have:
\defineMPinstance
[name]
[\s!format=metafun,
\s!extensions=\v!yes,
\s!initializations=\v!yes,
\c!method=\s!default,
\c!textstyle=,
\c!textcolor=]
also, \setupMPinstance
So that extensions=yes|no and initializations=yes|no controls the use
of MPextensions and MPinitializations. It seems that extensions is
intended for all instances (when enabled).
From what I can see, extensions are read once, initializations each,
and inclusions are intended for the user. It appears that
initializations is used to pass dynamic things from ConTeXt to MP.
I still have not figured out how to specify MPinclusions for a
particular instance.
It would be nice for someone who understands this all to explain it.

I don't believe that this is true, but I am most likely wrong.
Indeed \blue text has worked, but 'draw T withcolor blue;' *should* work as
well.
The processing of textext() has changed recently, it seems.
\startMPcode
label(textext(I'm seeing double),origin) withcolor green ;

where can I get the tex source of SideToc.pdf, or tell me what
should I do?

Strangely, the binary on the server worked yesterday. However, since then, an update of the ports updated pcre, notably, and this requires a recompile of many binaries. I suspect that this is the problem.

Re: [NTG-context] Spacing and font problem with \chemical inside display math
We are currently in the process of a complete re-write of the chemical macros.
In fact, we are almost finished and Hans is including the new macros in the
beta (as fast as he can keep up with my changes...).
In your example, I see the spacing problem in display math but do not see the
font problem. Maybe Hans can fix this extra spacing problem.
Rather than display math (as was suggested with ppchTeX), we have now introduced
\startchemicalformula
\stopchemicalformula
in order to display a chemical formula.
Also, I'm not sure why you might want to put \chemical{} within a \text
command; may I suggest either \type{\chemical{CO_2}} or {\tt typewriter
\chemical{CO_2}}, depending upon what you want to achieve.

Hi all,
I found what I suppose to be a bug with the \chemical command:
- when one use \chemical inside display math, the spacing is wrong around the
\chemical stuff. The font change inside \chemical also persists outside the
command.
- if one enclose the \chemical command into curly braces, the font problem do
not appear but the spaces are still wrong.
- if one put the \chemical command inside a \text{} command, ConTeXt stops
with an error.
These problems do not occur in inline math.
Here is a minimal example:
%% START
\starttext
Chemical within inline math: \m{M(\chemical{CO_2})} or
\m{M(\text{\chemical{CO_2}})}. This works fine.
Chemical in display math: \startformula M(\chemical{CO_2}) \stopformula gives
some strange spacing and seems to modify the font outside \tex{chemical}.
Chemical in display math: \startformula M({\chemical{CO_2}}) \stopformula
corrects the font problem but still gives some strange spacing.
%Chemical inside \text in display math: \startformula
%M(\text{\chemical{CO_2}}) \stopformula gives an error.
\stoptext
%% END
Anyone has an idea to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [NTG-context] Save/Redraw labels as pictures
Hans has be playing with MetaPost instances which got broken. \startMPpage\stopMPpage got the wrong instance whereas \startTEXpage\startMPcode\stopMPcode\stopMPpage correctly got the default instance. Normally, this was fixed, but your minimal example still does not work for me either. Something else is at cause... The reasons Hans has modified MP instances are: 1. we wanted to isolate the chemistry drawing macros from other MP use, but not from the user, and 2. we uncovered an error with mlib when using a very great number of MP pictures.

Me too, I have quite a bunch of scripts that are distributed to online servers that do not all have the same architecture. Sourcing setuptex (. pathtocontext/setuptex) will fail to find and thus modify the path under pure Borne shells and their equivalents. It will work just fine under bash, ksh (but sourcing the script will fail totally under csh and tcsh). Executing the script (pathtocontext/setuptex) should run correctly under all shells but will in all cases fail to set the path. My suggestion is simply to modify the message printed at the end: In the case of an execution rather than a sourcing, or in the case of sourcing under a Borne shell, the script could instruct the user to manually modify the path. In the other case, it could set the path.

Re: [NTG-context] Hiding columns in m-database TABLE
For example, easily such files are easily manipulated using awk.
awk {print $1,$2,$3,$5,$7} data.csv interesting.csv
and this can be used in a pipeline...

If you have up to 9 columns, you could use
\def\ProcessingLine#1#2#3#4#5#6#7{%
\bTR\bTD#1\eTD\bTD#2\eTD\bTD#6\eTD\bTD#7\eTD}
and then [command=\ProcessingLine]
Well, something like 20 columns (on A4 landscape). ;)
It turns out that my method somehow doesn't work well without setting
also height=0pt; then it's fine, but I'm still wondering about a
cleaner way.
