[NTG-context] Quick way to proofread / check index entries?

My own fault for not thinking head :-) but I have a largeish text with a lot of \index{...} entries. To make life easier for the proofreader I would like to temporarily redefine \index to wrap it or replace it with something that will highlight indexed items in the text where they occur, e.g.

[NTG-context] Is there an "align with item on facing page" option?

Is there a way to align text with an item on the facing page? I'm typesetting author biographies for a book and I'm doing two per page. The author's name appears on a line of its own in \tfa size and then the bio text follows. Ideally I'd like their names aligned so that all four (on a two page

[NTG-context] \setuparranging values for perfect bound A5 on A3?

I have a book to be perfect bound[1] and I'm trying to work out what imposition to use. The printer would like 4 A5 pages laid out on A3 e.g. +---+---+ | | | | a | b | | | | +---+---+ | | | | c | d | | | | +---+---+ so that he can cut the paper and simply stack a, b, c, & d on

[NTG-context] Changing the caption on a split table

I have a 5-page table placed using \setupcaption [table] [way=bytext,prefixsegments=none] \placetable[split]{My long table}{...} The caption for the first table page is "Table 1a My Long table"; for the second table page it is "Table 1b My long table" and so on. I'd like to change these to

[NTG-context] How to extend an existing macro to take optional parameters?

I have an existing macro that I'd like to extend. The current definition is \define[3]\mycommand{...} which I'd like to extend to take an optional 4th parameter plus an optional setup parameter. Thus I currently invoke it as: \mycommand{aa}{bb}{cc} and I'd like to be able to extend it so

Re: [NTG-context] rotated headers in natural tables

\setupTABLE inherits from \setupframed which has an orientation option. So \bTR[orientation=90] on the header row should do it, with the content specified normally i.e. without using \RtH. A quick test on one of my tables showed some issues with alignment so you may need to fix the 'width'

[NTG-context] Problem with \stoptabulate
