loooong stanzas (longer than a page)
by Piotr Kopszak 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hello list, Maybe I'm just too tired but I can't find a way to force long stanzas between \startlines and \stoplines to break and turn up on next page. Instead the stanza is simply truncated. Actually in my case the poems are not really divided into stanzas (i.e one stanza is one poem). Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Does ConTEXt manual also exist in a printer-friendly layout ?
by Julien Rouiller 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi, I'm new to ConTEXt. I downloaded the misc documents and start reading the manual. After having read about 50 pages, I find all this very interesting, but is there a more printer-friendly version of the manual ? The screen-oriented layout of the documents is nice to show what ConTEXt can do, but my eyes soon get tired when reading long documents on a screen. I also don't need the navigation links when printing the manual. Thanks. Julien

framing in TABLEs
by Gerhard Kugler 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hi, I'm updating a book of 2007 with many tables with empty, but framed cells. But if I see the new results, part of the cells are not framed as in the following example: \enableregime [il1] \mainlanguage [de] \starttext \setupTABLE[row][each][align=lohi,height=0.08\textheight] \bTABLE \setupTABLE[textwidth=\textwidth]% \setupTABLE[column][1][width=0.77\textwidth]% \setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.23\textwidth]% \switchtobodyfont[small]% \bTR \bTD Schmerzliche und schwierige Dinge, die ich erlebe \eTD \bTD Wie lange ist das schon der Fall? \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext I tried several setupTABLE ... framed=on, but without success.

installing the letter module
by Stephen A. Tjemkes 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Dear all This might be a trivial question for an expert user, but for an untrained end user this is not trivial, as I cannot find any documentation on wiki or anywere else. I would like to install the latest version of the letter module. How do I do this? I want to install it in a personal directory (say $(HOME)/usr/context/local-modules) and make sure that texexec will search this structure first before he tries to search the standard locations thanks stephen

Upcoming EuroTeX 2009
by Willi Egger 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Dear TeX user, The upcoming EuroTeX 2009 takes place from August 31 till September 4 in Den Haag in The Netherlands. In parallel we will run the third ConTeXt conference. We already have some 25 talks and tutorials submitted but we need a few more as we run a parallel program. If you are willing to present a paper or tutorial, please let us know. The theme of the conference is "Educational Uses of TeX" but of course other TeX and MetaPost related topics will be covered as well. Depending on the amount of contributions we will program them in blocks that cover general topics but we will also cluster talks and turorials specific to macro packages in an additional program. You can send your proposal(s) to eurotex(a)ntg.nl. Registration for the conference closes at July 1, 2009. On behalf of the organization, Taco Hoekwater & Hans Hagen

Too old already? If so, what would be a good frequency of updating the minimals? Kind Regards, Robert Blackstone
