Re: [NTG-context] Bug: context/mtxrun makes Firefox eat up cpu

After dozens of compilations of various minimal examples using the newly installed context, the problem reappeared. Removing tex/texmf-cache does not help. Does anyone know what files context modifies apart from tex/texmf-cache? Sylvain On Wed, 4 Nov 2020 at 16:01, Sylvain Hubert wrote

[NTG-context] context() does not ignore space in empty line

Dear list, does anyone have an idea why, in the example below, context() starts a new paragraph at "\n\n" but not at "\n \n" with a space in between? Is there any way to fix it? \starttext Without using context(), inside the next parentheses is a new line: ( ) note that a space sits between the

[NTG-context] Roman PDF labels

[NTG-context] itemize problems

, seems to fix the problem. For the 4th problem: I've found that we can do \setupitemize[A,text] which makes it like (A.) 0 (B.) 1 (C.) 2 (D.) 3 The problem now is, how can we remove the parentheses around the item labels? On 07/09/2021, Sylvain Hubert wrote: > Dear List, > &g
