Remove spaces from string
by Wolfgang Schuster 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi, I'm looking for nice and short ways to remove spaces from strings with font names. I found the \unspacestring command in the core to do what I want but prefer a alternative solution or a few tips for the following code. \starttext \bgroup \catcode`\ =9 \definedfont[name:TeX Gyre Pagella Regular]text \egroup \stoptext Wolfgang

It works with \startuseMPgraphic{fig1} draw (0.0cm, 0.0cm) -- (1.1cm, 1.1cm) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{fig1} Is the "excursion" deprecated ?

replacement for \nolist ?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 05 May '09

Another command that disappeared from MkIV is \nolist (to exclude parts of a title from a table of contents). What's its replacement? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

How to prevent TeX ligatures in \starttyping..\stoptyping?
by Kevin D. Robbins 05 May '09

05 May '09

>From older posts to the mailing list, it seems that the way to prevent TeX ligatures, specifically -- and ---, in \starttyping...\stoptyping in MkIV is to 1. define a font feature with tlig=no 2. define a font synonym for the monospace font that uses this font feature 3. setup typing to use this font synonym Is this currently the best way to solve the problem? Thanks, Kevin

multi page TABLE and placetable
by Jos van Gisbergen 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, I'm using TABLE macros for typesetting tables. Since the tables I'm using may get very long, I set "split=yes". This works ... except if I surround a TABLE with \placetable: \placetable[here]{caption} { \bTABLE ... \eTABLE } In such a case a table that is too long to fit on a single page is truncated at page bottom and nothing is printed on the next page. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Jos
