Hello Hans, I've downloaded the newest beta, but \comments still don't work. Besides of that there is a curious indenting problem with delimited text definitions (and floats). I will attach some test files. Thank you in advance Andreas

Font sizes, vertical spacing, footnote symbols
by Nicola 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi, I have a set of specifications for a document and I am having some problems implementing it. I am using MKIV from TeX Live 2010. I have some difficulty with these requirements in particular: 1) title: 17pt, boldface, capital letters; 12pt spacing before and 3pt spacing after the title; Now I use \setuphead[title][align=middle,style={\bfd\cap},before={},after={}] How can I ensure that the font size is exactly 17pt? How to I specify precise vertical spacing? 3) All § must be indented 1.25cm; \setupindenting[1.25cm,yes,first] But the first § of each Section is not indented. 4) footnote symbol: * I use \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=set 3] but I get stars instead of asterisks. Can you please help me with these? Nicola

bug in TABLE when there is a complex head
by Nigel King 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi Developers, Enclosed is a piece of code that demonstrates a bug in the NaturalTable environment when using a complex head in a multipage case. If you run the following code you will notice that not only does the head get repeated but also the first row of the body of the table. The cause appears to be [nr=2] in the head. I am using This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009) (format=cont-en 2010.4.14) 6 DEC 2010 08:32 I do apologise if this is fixed in a later version. Thanks for a great program. \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH[nr=2] head l\eTH \bTH head r\eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH head r\eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD first l\eTD\bTD first r\eTD\eTR \dorecurse{50}{\bTR\bTD subsequent l\eTD\bTD subsequent r\eTD\eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE -- Nigel King

Chart module: comment not visible!?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi, I wanted to try the chart module to build some flow diagrams, and tried the example (digital signal processing!) at contextgarden. Unfortunately, the text inside the rectangular shapes shows up properly, but no sign of any comments visible in the generated pdf-file! I use ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII together with pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7). Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Regards, Gerard Verhaag
