Hi, I recently observed that column enumerations start at zero instead of at one. Has anyone else seen this? Here's a minimal example: % interface=en output=pdftex \starttext \startitemize[n, columns, three] \item foo \item bar \item hat \stopitemize \stoptext Is there a way to the ini

[NTG-context] Trouble with \usemodule[tikz]

2007-03-29 Thread M.guravage
I recently experienced problems with TikZ after upgrading from ConTeXt - 2007.01.23 to 2007.03.19. Instead of looking at the differences between the two releases, I moved my original minimal ConTeXt distribution out of the way and re-installed the latest justtext.zip and linuxtex.zip. To this I ad

[NTG-context] backspace makeupwidth tradeoff

2005-12-23 Thread M.guravage
Hi, I'd like to increase the backspace at the expense of the makeupwidth. I like to do this by adding either a scalar or a percentage of the backspace. In the following bit of code I'd expect both sets of \mybackspace and \mywidth macros to yield identical results, but the don't. The scalar approa

[NTG-context] blank chapter last page

2005-12-20 Thread M.guravage
Hi, ConTeXt's default behavior is to insert a page, when necessary, to force a new chapter to begin on a right hand page. One consequence when using running headers is that they appear on these extra pages too. I use the following code to control a chapter's opening page. % Define heads for cha

[NTG-context] Presentation Styles

2005-05-16 Thread M.guravage
Hello, I recently prepared a presentation using pre-05. The Topics, represented as buttons in a column on the left, are now each preceeded by a number. This was not the case when I last used the style back in January. Interestingly, s-pre-05.tex has not changed since then. This behavior is the sam
