Thanks Wolfgang, After looking through the file you mentioned above, I finally find that \writeutilitycommand and \doutilities are what I want now. Maybe I should look into core-uti.tex to get more. On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 2:15 PM, Wolfgang Schuster < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, May 7, 2

Thanks Mikael. Merci Olivier. So, if I understand well there no in-depth French module for ConTeXt. [1] Isn't it possible to convert the LaTeX packages (Babel French and French LE) to ConTeXt? As I'm totally new to ConTeXt, I don't know if it's hardwork or automatic. Thanks in advance your help

Hi there, I've got a table of contents for a document that's split into two large sections. I'm trying to display a centered heading for each section, and subsections listed in two columns underneath each section heading. Hopefully this illustrates something of what I'm trying to achieve:

Thanks, that's genius! However, the problem I now have is that the sections from *both* chapters are displayed below each chapter heading. That is, \placelist[section] generates the same content in both contexts. Paul Hans Hagen wrote: Paul Gideon Dann wrote: Hi there, I've got a
