Hi,
Now some questions to solve the problems I have when I try
to follow the "tutorial" "ConTeXt an excursion".
I think it is for mkII and I use mkIV and that there has
been many changes in between.
- The example at the bottom of page 11 and page 12 gives
me an error:
! Argument of \head has an extra }.
system > tex > error on line 52 in file
travail.tex: Argument of ...
42 Hasselt lies in the province of Overijssel and there
are a number of customs that are typical of this province.
43 \startitemize
44 \head kraamschudden \hfill (child welcoming)
45 When a child is born the neighbours come to visit the
new parents. The women come to admire the baby and the men
come to judge the baby (if it is a boy) if he will become a
strong man.
46 The neighbours will bring a {\em krentenwegge} along.
A krentenwegge is a loaf of currant bread of about 1 \Meter\
long. Of course the birth is celebrated with {\em jenever}.
47 \head nabuurschap (naberschop) \hfill (neighbourship)
48 Smaller communities used to be very dependent on the
cooperation among the members for their well being. Members
of the {\em nabuurschap} helped each other in difficult
times during harvest times, funerals or any hardship that
fell upon the community.
49 \head Abraham \& Sarah \hfill (identical)
50 When people turn 50 in Hasselt it is said that they
see Abraham or Sarah. The custom is to give these people a
{\em speculaas} Abraham or a Sarah. Speculaas is a kind of
hard spiced biscuit.

- The tables pages 30-31-32-35 are not at the right position
on the page, mostly they are to the right and not centered.
- The chemical formulae give an error (pages 37-38), but
I'll come back to that later on, but what is the manual
about it?
- The boxes on page 45, second example are not at the right
position, particularly the second is on the same line as the
first.

What are the up todate manuals for MkIV?
OK It's enough bothering you for the moment.
Thanks in advance,
