I want to define 'inside' and 'outside' margins (i.e. left and right pages
are symmetrical, not the same). Reading the document 'co-pagedesign.pdf',
ConTeXt talks about 'left' and 'right' margins (and other measurements). At
first I thought this must be either a 'representative' left or right pag
Just to clarify, I pretty much agree with everything you say.

Good news on both counts, then. (Is there a reason that the source and

Hi,

That's better. Also, for the record, I've been working with Mark IV today,

So what solutions are to hand? Is there either (1) super/sub commands in
text mode, or (2) a way of fixing this in math mode?
(Also, would this be a problem with ConTeXt or with XeTeX?)

For s>0.5, angle = 90 degrees (vector vertically upwards)
Suffice to say that I don't know how to produce that elegantly.

Hi again,
Another METAPOST problem. For the sake of curiosity, I've been looking at
and playing with the superellipse() function in plain METAPOST. This is all
fine and dandy until I try values of 'superness' less than 0.5, in which
case it generates shapes that are seemingly not superellipses.

Aha! That certainly works. I suspected I would have to fall back on
"low-level" trig :). Many thanks!

This isn't specifically a ConTeXt question, but via it I've run into a
seemingly simple problem in METAPOST that I just can't solve. I'm
trying to draw a parallelogram by specifying: (1) the length of sides
parallel to the x-axis; (2) the total height of the figure; (3) one of
the interior angles.

don't expect answers to all these here, but can someone point me
to somewhere on the 'net that could answer them? The only other
possibilities I can see are buying an expensive copy of the TeXbook, etc.
