Dear Tomas,
Thank you for your kind help.
The change you made works when the ToC ends on an odd page, as in this
case when it ends on page 1. However, if the ToC ends on an even page,
say on page 2, the modification you have suggested produces an empty
page with no headers on page 3, and then an empty page with
headers "4 ... Chapter." on page 4; the first chapter starts on page 5.
Enclosed below is an example of such a file.
I don't want the empty pages 3 (without headers) and 4 (with headers),
and I want the first chapter to start on page 3, which is the first
right hand, i.e., odd numbered, page after the end of the ToC.
I think what is required is a command \foo which implements the
following pseudocode:
if the current page is even numbered ; then
\page [empty]
else
do nothing
endif
Then, I can use
\startfrontmatter
\completecontent
\foo
\stopfrontmatter
Regards,
Raghu.

Thanks, that should work. However, searching through setup-en.pdf, I
found the conditional `\doifelseoddpage {CMD} {CMD}', which is precisely
what I needed. Enclosed below is an example which is formatted as I
wanted.
1. I use `header=empty' in \setuphead [chapter], for otherwise I get a
header on the pages where a chapter begins.
2. I use \setupheadertexts twice, first before the beginning of the
front matter, and then before the beginning of the body matter, with
settings appropriate for the respective block.
3. I use `\marking [chapter] {Contents}' before \completecontent, for
otherwise I get no chapter name in the header for the ToC.
4. I use `\doifelseoddpage {\page [empty]} {}' after \completecontent,
to do what you had suggested.
Thanks again for the help.
Regards,
Raghu.

[NTG-context] External graphics directory
Is it possible to specify an external graphics directory either as an environment variable, or as a command line option to `context', instead of writing `\setupexternalfigures [directory=../../foo]'? I tried the environment variable setting TEXINPUTS=../../foo:: as in http://www.tex.ac.uk/FAQ-graphicspath.html, and the command line option --path=../../foo for `context', but neither works in my Linux environment.

[NTG-context] Difficulties with learning about ConTeXt
I am a mathematician, and have been using LaTeX on a daily basis since 1992, when I was a graduate student. I have recently started using ConTeXt, and am very happy with the facilities it provides, and with its self-contained system which does not require one to load external packages with subtle interactions. One problem that I am facing is that the documentation of ConTeXt is often not enough for me to figure out what to do when a problem arises. I understand that documentation is perhaps not a priority for the project. As Hans Hagen wrote in `? Context', "... writing can get a lower priority in a time when quick and dirty answers can be found on the internet, mailing list or wiki. ... For what it's worth: whenever I have to solve a problem with a program (or language implementation) I run into cases where I have to look long to find (non conflicting) information. It just comes with the problems one wants to solve and TeX (ConTeXt) is not different." However, there is not a great deal of information on the Internet about solving ConTeXt problems. Whenever I ran into a LaTeX problem in the last several years, I used to find a solution, or a substantial step towards one, that was already documented on the TeX-LaTeX Stack Exchange. Unfortunately, it does not contain a similar amount of information about ConTeXt. In any case, I have started posting ConTeXt questions there, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/397463/146025 and https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/397607/146025 As for the mailing list, I posted three requests for help here in the last one week. When I bumped my first message after more than a day without any response, Tomas Hala kindly came to my rescue. The other two messages, posted four and two days ago, have not elicited any response yet. This contrasts with Aditya Mahajan's experience, which he describes in his interview at http://tex-talk.net/2012/08/textalk-an-interview-with-aditya/: "Most questions on the context mailing lists are answered within minutes ... look in the main manual and the wiki to see how to achieve the particular effects that you wanted, and if you cannot figure it out, ask on the context mailing list." I understand that we are all busy, and it is not easy to find time to answer novice queries on the list. Lastly, I found the Wiki useful sometimes for quick and dirty solutions to problems, and sometimes as a source of documentation. Yet there have been several cases where I could not find what I wanted in it. For example, I could not find the answers to my last two queries on this list and to my two questions on SE, in the manual, on the archives of this list, or on the Wiki. These problems mean that I have to spend much more time experimenting and searching before I find a reasonable way to get the things I want with ConTeXt. Given the beauty of the results that ConTeXt returns, I don't mind that. However, I wonder if there are others who have similar problems learning about ConTeXt, and if they have some words of advice for me. I am also interested in ways to help people with similar difficulties. Regards, Raghu. -- N.

[NTG-context] Reproducible PDF output
I would like to have reproducible PDF output from ConTeXt documents. I
tried the suggestions at https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/313605/146025
but they did not work. The PDF output has information like
"ConTeXt.Time", "CreateDate", etc., which depend on the time the source
was processed at. How do I suppress such temporal information, that is
not supplied by the author, from the PDF output?
Here are my two attempts:
--
$ cat example.tex
\pdfinfoomitdate=1
\pdftrailerid{}
\starttext
Hello, world!
\stoptext
$ ( context example.tex && cp example.pdf a && sleep 1 && \

--
Here is the reason I want reproducible builds. I keep the source of my
ConTeXt documents under version control. I also keep their PDF output
under version control because I often find, several years after a
document was written, that I don't have the supporting files needed to
process it; in such a case, until I get the missing supporting files, I
can at least view the PDF output. Now, even when the source has not
changed, if I run context on it, the PDF output changes, and the version
control system reports the PDF file as modified. In such a situation, I
have to register the change in the version control system, or revert the
PDF file to its version. I would like to avoid this extra work.
Thanks and regards,
Raghu.

[NTG-context] Problem with Wiki skin
I have created an account in the Wiki, and accidentally chose the `Erudite' skin in the Appearance section of the Preferences page. Since then, every page has been displayed as an empty page. I am working in Linux, with Firefox. I disabled the style (View -> page style -> no style), but I still got an empty page. The source of every page (Ctrl-u) was empty. I tried with text based browsers (w3m and Emacs EWW) but with the same effect: empty page, no source. It seems to be related to the particular skin. If I add the "?useskin=default" suffix to every URL, I can see it properly, e.g., http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:Preferences?useskin=default shows the preferences page properly. But if I follow any link from it, I again hit a blank page. I request one of the Wiki administrators to reset my preferences to the default ones. The user name is "raghu". More generally, it may be a problem with Erudite that needs to be looked into. Thanks and regards, Raghu. -- N.

This is absolutely true, and I don't have any problem about starting from scratch with a new typesetting system.

Thank you, this works perfectly. It led me also to the

\do*documentargument commands, which may be useful later on.

[NTG-context] Including part of a program source file
I am writing some notes using ConTeXt, which involves displaying parts
of some program source files. At present, I am manually cutting and
pasting the parts into the ConTeXt file. Is it possible to make ConTeXt
do that for me? I am thinking of including each part of the Coq sources
between tags like this:
$ cat src-file
part_to_be_included_1
part_to_be_included_2
I would like to say something like
\IncludePart{src-file}{tag-1}
in my ConTeXt file to get
part_to_be_included_1
at that place in the PDF output after I run `context'. I would
appreciate any advice on how to go about this.
Thanks,
Raghu.

[NTG-context] Characters allowed in macro names
I was wondering if it is alright to use underscores in the names of
macros, e.g, as in the following file. It looks like \startsetups, and
\def accept names with hyphens, underscores, and numerals, but
\starttexdefinition doesn't tolerate any of them.
1. In general, what characters are allowed in macro names? Are Unicode
characters admissible?
2. Apart from the fact that one can use whitespace freely in
\starttexdefinition, is there any reason to prefer it over \def?
Thanks,
Raghu.
\starttext
\startsetups [hello-world_1]
Hello, world 1!
\stopsetups
\setups [hello-world_1]
\def\hello-world_2{Hello, world 2!}
\hello-world_2
\starttexdefinition helloWorld
Hello, world!
\stoptexdefinition
\helloWorld
%% Doesn't work
