Hi, for subsections I use \setuphead[subsection] [after=\vskip-1.6mm, before={\testpage[5]\vskip1.6mm}] The reason is perfect distances between text-subsection-text with activated gridding. If the subsection is not set by \testpage on the next page, then everything workes fine! But if, then I want to not use the \vskips in "after" and "before". I want (in pseudo-pseudocode) something like this: if(less then 5 lines, thas is, testpage sets the subsection on the next page) then: \setuphead[subsection] [after=, before=] I hope I could make clear, what I intend to achieve. For testing: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setuphead[subsection] [after=\vskip-1.6mm, before={\testpage[5]\vskip1.6mm}]] \starttext \dorecurse{13}{Linefill\\} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \input tufte \stoptext +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You see on the second page the problem: gridding is lost.

Underlay a text with color

Hi, how to underlay a text (or simply one word) with a (grey) colored rectangle, just to highlight – like if I had marked it by hand with a grey marker-pen? Thanks. Huseyin

Horzontal line between header and text

I forgot and could not find it in the wiki: How to make horizontal lines on every page between header (where the section-titles are) and the textplace? Thanks. Huseyin

[***SPAM***] Syntax and placement of \startplacetable
by "H. Özoguz" 18 Apr '13

With \placetable[force][] one can force to set the table here. Other keywords like" here, auto" etc. do work aswell. But with \starplacetable it does not work, how to do it correctly? My try was: \startplacetable[force][title={Blub}]{<table>} But that does not work, the table is shifted to a "best place", if there would be no "force". Syntax wrong? Huseyin

Re: [NTG-context] mptopdf in minimals

Does it help if you run the following command first? texexec --make mptopdf (it should or at least used to be used in past) Mojca ------ Thank you Mojca, Your idea did help for minimal examples. I get conflicts with more elaborate files (even the dreaded 'cannot make .mpx file') sometimes using either suggestions so... retraining my fingers to put MP code in \startMPpage is the direction I will take because it gives the best looking forward result for me.

Two Bibliography questions
by john Culleton 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

For my bibliography I want to use the harvard style and the author-date form of the \cite command. I am using the sample.bib file for testing. I have progressed to the point where the bibiography shows the contents of sample.bib properly formatted. But I still have a problem with the printing of the actual citation. My \cite command looks like: \cite{Eijkhout1991} but all that prints out is: [1] Ideally I would see: (Eijkhout, 1991) What other adjustments do I need to make to correct this printout of the citation in the text? I already have the following in my preamble: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={sample},sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=harvard] \setupcite [authoryear] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ and }, compress=yes, inbetween={ }, left={(}, right={)}] Second question: If I wish to restrict the printed bibilography to only those publications actually cited in the text with the \cite command or the \nocite command what do I need to change? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

[***SPAM***] Underlay a text with color

> Marco Thanks Marco, but I was not precise enough: I want this underlied gray in the header for the chapter-marking. The direct attempt below fails: \definetextbackground [marker] [background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, frame=off] \setupheadertexts[][ {\marker{\getmarking[section]}}][][] \starttext \section{Blub} \stoptext Huseyin
