Thank you, ChoF, for your quick reply. I do not know how to compile dvipdfmx so I will try your changes to spec-dpx.tex. Maybe Fabrice can compile the latest dvipdfmx for windows? Question: how do I determine the version number of my dvipdfmx? My present one came from the context distribution of 16-08-05?

changing from oldstyle to upright
by Idris Samawi Hamid 20 Aug '05

Dear consortium, Switching to oldstyle is easy: \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont [modern] But how do I locally switch back to upright? Declaring \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern] [\defaultencoding] does nothing. Basically I want to have something like \def\UP{\switchtobodyfont[lmrup]} for local effects. I tried \definetypeface [lmrup] [rm] [serif] [latin-modern] [default] [encoding=texnansi] to no avail as well. Test file attached Thnx in advance!

Hello, I'm really interested in de context concept. I see several impressive layouts at de pragma-ade site. As a newbie I find it difficult to create such layout.

bug in indentation
by Idris Samawi Hamid 19 Aug '05

Dear knights, There is apparently something wrong with the indenting mechanism in the latest context: I have to invoke indenting twice to cut it on (uncomment the second \setupindenting): ============================ % output=pdf interface=en \setupwhitespace[none] \setupindenting[medium,next] % does not indent %\setupindenting[medium,next] % need both to indent \definestartstop [quote] [before={\startnarrower[1*middle]\blank[big]}, after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}] \starttext \input knuth \startquote \input knuth \stopquote \input knuth \stoptext ============================ log verifying version ============================= This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.3) (format=cont-en 2005.8.18) 18 AUG 2005 21:47 entering extended mode \write18 enabled.

Finally, \indenting and \noindenting don't work like they used to: bug or feature? I actually spent hours trying to debug a huge manuscript (with messed up now fixed indentation) before finally realizing and isolating the problem. Upgrading ConTeXt is always an adventure...

TOC bug or feature?
by Idris Samawi Hamid 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi Hans, Did u intentionally make the option [sectionnumber=yes] the default for \placelist[]? This seems rather strange and arbitrary (chapter and subsection are not affected)... Unfortunately, adding sectionnumber=no, also kills the sectioning numbers on the left of the titles... I need the sectioning labels in the left of the TOC but not in the page numbers...
