Re: [NTG-context] Editor's Symbols?
Here's an example: http://www.colorado.edu/Publications/styleguide/symbols.html I've seen these printed (not handwritten) in grammar guides, so I was wondering if formatting them with TeX was possible at all.

Re: [NTG-context] Fixing/Updating ConTeXt
Hans, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and then tested: texexec --xtx sample_file but I still got the error. Is there a way to overwrite/update the installation as I did with ConTeXt? If worse comes to worst, I'll look into reinstalling XeTeX... Thanks again for the help!

Re: [NTG-context] \setupheader: leftstyle & rightstyle
Hi, Hope this isn't hijacking the thread, but I have a quick question related to this and I'd thought I'd post it here instead of starting a whole new topic about something similar. How do you center headers? I know that if you just use one header, it's automatically centered, but if you use alternating headers, they're left/right aligned by default... right? So far I have a two-page spread set up so that the chapter appears on the right header and the title of the text on the left, but neither are centered. Do I use \midaligned, or am I on the wrong track?

I usually use something like \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=bottom] \setupheadertexts [\sc Book Title][] [][{\it (\getmarking[chapter][current])}] However, there seems to be a little bug. This works perfectly well for section (\getmarking[section]), but for chapter the chapter labels seem to be erased after the first appearance. leftstyle= might also require implementation of - style of the left label on left page - style of the middle label on the left page - style of the right labale on the left page - all the three styles again on the right page, the same 6 for footer Mojca ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___ Ready for the edge of your seat?

[NTG-context] Weird Problem
Hi all, I'm a complete newbie to ConTeXt (aka recent convert from a GUI world and WYSIWYG typesetting), so please forgive my ignorance. :) I'm having some problems typesetting a simple practice document that used to compile fine before. Recently, after modifying part of the text (not the code, which to the best of my knowledge appears correct, since I haven't encountered any errors), I can no longer see the title page, page numbers or headers, and paragraphs don't indent as they used to, when they did before. Again, I didn't change any of the code, at least AFAIK. Is this a bug, or just user error? Do I need to update ConTeXt? If so, how? (if you could, please provide step-by-step directions, as I'm a beginner to the command-line interface as well, I'm afraid). I'm running the Jan 2007 version of ConTeXt bundled with the MacTeX 2007 distribution on Mac OS 10.4.10. I've also provided the sample document for reference, in case that helps. A prompt response would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
