Partick, I am currently working in a Windows (XP) environment but if it makes a difference and Linux is more suitable for a Tex environment I move to a Unix based one then. Thanks for the reply.

If you have a current TeX distribution, you are probably ready to go. If not, get one, such as teTeX for Unix or MikTeX for Windows. Tell us more about your environment.

undefined guillemots

Hi there! AFAIK this should work: \setuplanguage[de][ leftquote=\guilsinglleft, rightquote=\guilsinglright, leftquotation=\guillemotleft, rightquotation=\guillemotright ] %\mainlanguage[de] \language[de] \setupencoding [default=ec] \quotation{Doppelte Anführungszeichen} \quote{Einfache Anführungszeichen} But none of the guillemots seems to be defined: !

\type{a_b} inside \bTABLE ... \eTABLE
by Mojca Miklavec 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

Hello, there's a very comical behavior of \type{sometextfollowedby_underscore} inside \bTABLE and \eTABLE. For example: \starttext \bTABLE \bTR\bTD \type{a_b} \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext \type{_} or \type{_b} work OK, \type{a_b} outside the table works OK as well. --- I tried to find \def\type in ConTeXt source, but I couldn't and I'm also not advanced enough to interpret the error message below. Any ideas? (I would use the shorter form, \_, but the results are not quite the same. I solved my problem temporary by using \type{a}\type{_b} with quite some (unnecessary ?) "\type"-ing, but I'm still curious about the reason for the strange behavior.) Thank you, Mojca !

Why do margins bleed?
by John R. Culleton 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

I have been playing with the very interesting t-layout module written by Patrick Gundalach. When looking at the visualization thus presented I have these questions: 1. Why do the left and right margin areas bleed off the page? 2. Why are the margins offset a little from the main text block? These offsets are defined as leftmargindistance and rightmargindistance. These aspects seem to be related. . -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com

symbol parameter of \setuplist
by David Munger 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Hello, I fear I cannot figure out what is the meaning of the `symbol' parameter of \setuplist. From all the documentation or mailing list archives, the only use I can find is "symbol=1". Is there a way to use it to draw bullets, say, before each list item, like those in the itemize environment? If not, what would be the best way of achieving this? With \placelist[command=...] maybe? Regards, David
