Can someone indicate how one can easily test for a new page in a list
environment (or, indeed, anywhere else)?
In one implementation of a listing, repeated sequential items or
elements of items are suppressed, but I would like to repeat them when
they occur at the top of a new page. I imagine that
e in
having item lists take a fixed, uniform distance by default in a
document which is why "fit" is not a default option. Thus, a design
choice (or compromise).
Moral: read the manual!

The list spacing parameters (fit) is not right for numbered

Hello,
This may be a sign of an incorrect PATH, picking-up TeXlive or
a system installed context. One solution is to *source* the tex/setuptex
script, another is to set your PATH with tex/texmf-ARCH/bin up front.

The random numbers generated are deterministic, t
mycolor[1 + round (uniformdeviate 2)]
(or define mycolor[0]-mycolor[2], in which case you can drop the "1 +")
uniformdeviate returns a random number between zero and the value of
the argument. So you do not want (uniformdeviate i).

Not to be confused with ´ (prime)!
U+2032 ′
U+0027 '
U+2019 ’
U+02BC ʼ
etc.
Windows (Word) is really "bad" in substituting the "right single
quotation mark" for the ASCII (typewriter)

Hello,
Using xterm and related emulators, one can set a dynamic title. Many
applications set this title. (Of course, the user can program the
emulator to ignore such dynamic titles, if preferred).
I find it useful, especially when I have many terminal windows open,
all running different processes
Hello,
I came across a special case where \placeinital would need some tuning.
(It was found in Eglinton, G. and Calvin, M. (1966) "Chemical Fossils",
Scientific American 216, 32-43.)
In the following minimal example, the period following the capital W
should be dropped as well, being kept associ

Many of the ConTeXt manuals seem to put the Adobe Reader into a

I confirm the problem and the strange behavior when moving chapters
around or adding dummy chapters and sections.
I, too, have not yet been able to produce a minimal example, and we
have little hope of getting this fixed until we can produce such a
minimal example.
