Since \fillinfield, as far as I understand, use the same underlying mechanisms as other kinds of fields I find it somewhat surprising that these fields are not affected by this missing configuration. Anyway, what is the name of the option that I have to use, I just can't seem to find it. /Fredrik

Problems with \fillinfield
by Fredrik Sjunnesson 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hi, PDF fields created with \fillinfield lose their filled in values as soon as they lose focus. I have tried several different documents, including mwidget-s.pdf, with the latest Acrobat Reader on both Linux and Windows but I always get the same result. Any others with similar problems? Regards, Fredrik

Non-bold marker in bold head?
by Steffen Wolfrum 20 Nov '06

Hi, I need a non-bold (roman) footnote-marker even when the footnotes are in bold section heads. But the suspected syntax below doesn't work. Any other idea? Steffen \starttext \definehead[MySection][subsection] \def\MySectionStyle {\switchtobodyfont[rm,10.75pt]\setupinterlinespace [line=12pt]\bf} \setuphead[MySection][style=\MySectionStyle] \MySection{Bold text {\switchtobodyfont[rm,9.5pt]\rm\footnote{non- bold, roman footnote marker?}}} \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] postponed block and headers
by Paul Jones 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Below is somewhat of a silly example, but it does show the problem I am experiencing. It looks like the commands inside of the postponing block can not effect the headers. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? The only way I have been able to change the headers is to place a \page[blank] at the beginning of my postponed block, but then there are no headers for the rest of the document. Basically I just want there to be no headers on any page where I postpone a block. Any help would be much appreciated \setuppagenumbering[conversion=numbers, location=] \setupheadertexts[pagenumber] \setuphead[chapter][header=high, footer=high] \startpostponing[+2] \chapter{Chapter with header} \stoppostponing \starttext \chapter{Chapter no header} \dorecurse{20}{\input davis } \stoptext paul

Bug in Description?
by Karsten Heymann 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hello, I need to mimick enumerated lists with descriptions, as the list labels are passed to context by an external program. For this I need the text after the label indented exactly as far as the following lines. Following the wiki I set distance=0cm, but this does not seem to be honored, but setting it to a very small value does work. So I suppose it's a bug. Yours, Karsten \definedescription[DescA][align=left,location=hanging,width=1cm,margin=1cm,distance=0cm] \definedescription[DescB][align=left,location=hanging,width=1cm,margin=1cm,distance=0.0001cm] \starttext Wrong: \DescA{1.} \input knuth \DescA{2.} \input knuth Right: \DescB{1.} \input knuth \DescB{2.} \input knuth \stoptext
