It's advisable to use \quote{...} or \quotation{...} for quotation
marks. That way, if you do need to change them, you only do it in one
place rather than throughout the document.
Now why the heck aren't those commands mentioned anywhere in Context

Does anyone have any experience embedding Quicktime or other movies
in Context? Either in the document itself or simply a URL that will

Can anyone supply some sample code snippets?
Please take a look at:
If you use \completecontent or \completeindex, how do you manipulate
the heads of these constructs?
Can I change the text of the header, Contents to Table of Contents?
I'v done that using:
\setupheadtext[pt][content=Índice]
That will change the header, for Portuguese, notice the [pt].
I have some questions for you. Please help me:
1. Did you know a way to make a list of tables (natural tables \bTable

Is there a recommended way of doing this? I could put blue into the
\sectionnumber command, but I'd prefer to specify the color only once
(the numbercolor and color specifications were an attempt at overkill).

I can't test it right now,

\placetable{Just an example}{\externalfigure[teste.tmp]}
This is what I call 'creative usage' of a feature :)
Better use \getbuffer for this.
I was using \externalfigure because I saw that on the manual,

Can I do

Hello Peter,
\start ... \stop mark the boundaries of the local (layout) setup, which
is defined between \startlocal ... \stoplocal. This way you don't need
to redefine your old layout after a local (one page) style change.
ConTeXt returns to the prior layout automatically.

You need also:
\setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]
Because the default is to sort by order of appearance
in \cite commands first, and only for the remaining
part use the bbl ordering.
Yes. That was it. I did tested it with \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]
but I didn't run bibtex again.

Since this is a publication list issue, you should fix the publication
