Many thanks, Wolfgang, for your quick and complete solution to my riddle. As Hans has commented, it is really brilliant. I must confess that I do not understand yet the substance of it, i.e. the definition itself of *Fleuron*, but I will keep studying it and will end for getting it, I hope. For the moment I have analyzed and elaborated a bit on your example, first and mostly by commenting it, but also by slightly modifying it so that it shows more clearly the characteristics of your solution. I attach it here just in case it could be as helpful for someone else as it has been for me. Many thanks again and good luck!

issue with linenotes command
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Dear list, in order to avoid the issue with many references in critical editions and linenotes, I have a command that makes this automatic (thanks to Wolfgang’s help). But the issue is that it breaks the “external” linenote when a linenote is nested in it. Here you have a sample: \setuppapersize[A8] \newcounter\MyCounter \def\CritApp#1#2{\increment\MyCounter% \startlinenote[Varia:\MyCounter]{#1] #2}#1% \prewordbreak\stoplinenote[Varia:\MyCounter]} \starttext \startlinenumbering \startlinenote[one]{hyphenated}this is a test on \startlinenote[two]{with nested linenote}hyphenation\prewordbreak\stoplinenote[two]\stoplinenote[one] \CritApp{this is a test on \CritApp{hyphenation}{nested linenote: bad line number}}{not hyphenated} \stoplinenumbering \showhyphens{legibility} \stoptext All the problem comes from the need to add the body text (the first argument of the \CritApp command) in the linenote text itself. Is there a way to make the main linenote in the sample work? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Chapter endings

There is plenty of information available about how to deal with issues related to chapter openings (*headings*) in *Context* but I have not found any related to document endings. I would like to end the chapters of a book with some small decorative element, be it text or graphics; let us call it a *Fleuron*. Just putting it in the last line of the text file to be typeset, one can take for sure that earlier or later it will end appearing as the only element of the last page of the product of some run. To avoid this undesirable outcome, it seems to me that one is forced to provide some help to *Context* via some text marks or some code, but I have not been able to conjecture what they should be. The clearest arrangement would seem to be the inclusion at the end of the source document of some *Context* instructions equivalent to the following pseudocode: if *Fleuron* fits into the current page: typeset *Fleuron* But how do I formulate the condition? How do I know what is the *current page*, what is the size that *Context* has calculated for *Fleuron* and what is the amount of space remaining in the page? One can imagine that this method could even be helpful in other situations of the typesetting operation not related to the last page. Does someone know how to handle it? Thanks in advance Francisco Gracia

Dear Wolfgang and Hans, First, other user in KTUG succeeded to get the colorful output of your sample file. This means that there is a problem in my system. > You can do a manual update of the database with > > mtxrun --script fonts --reload > After running the above command, I got the right output of the command "mtxrun --script font --list --file hanbatang*" But there was another problem in my TeX file. Korean in my file is "precomposed characters", so I changed it to triplet by the help of Dohyun Kim, KTUG. (Someone who have an interest, please check the following: http://www.ktug.org/xe/?document_srl=176946&mid=KTUG_open_board&rnd=176962#…) After fixing two problems, I succeeded to have colorful output. Thank you so much for this nice new feature. Best regards, Dalyoung

Hi, I just want to make an arc to a word. I found that [http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15468/frown-and-mathop-stackrel-over…] but it's LaTeX or XeTeX centric. Is there any equivalent in ConTeXt? Thanks in advance, Xan PS: Please CCme
