1. columns and marginal notes conflict:
For some of the issues, it would be perhaps a good idea to make proper bug-reports (with minimal example of course).
In some other venue?
In a separate thread, with a minimal example, that one can copy-paste and see the error. Trying to guess what is wrong is difficult.
P.S.: Please consider fixing or changing your email client: it breaks the threads.
Gmail. This is broken?
For some reason, none of your responses contain a References: header. So, threading gets broken. Normally, gmail works fine, so I don't know why the headers are beings stripped in this case.
2. leftward protrusion fails \definefontfeature[...][default][...,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hanging,hz] \showgrid % or \showframe There is no leftward protrusion at all. Everything on the left edge is flush with the margin, even 'T' and 'J'. Similarly:
Don't know what you mean, works here.
\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality]
\usetypescript[modern] \setupbodyfont[modern]
The only difference I see is that I'm trying to use a different font than modern:
\usetypescriptfile[type-garamond] \starttypescript [MTbook] \definetypeface[MTbook][rm][serif][garamondMD][optical] ...
These details are important. Also a link to which Garamond you are using.
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[MTbook] \setupalign[hanging,hz] \setupbodyfont[MTbook,12pt]
So, leftward protrusion only works with Latin Modern?
3. protrusion fails in footnotes: Even on the right edge. Hz isn't happening in them either.
You have to enable it separate for notes.
\setupnote[footnote][align={normal,hanging}]
I got rightward protrusion with that, but it looks like no hz. Why are the key-values different? I also tried {quality,quality} and got nothing.
Again, a minimal example is needed.
5. footnotes break between pages How do I stop this?
No example, no help!
Imagine:
The footnote will begin on page one, break halfway through, and continue on the following page. I want to prevent footnotes from breaking in this way. If you really need to see 1.5 pages of concrete "lorem ipsum" posted to understand the problem, I can provide it.
I don't know this
9. \raisebox? What is the proper way to raise or lower a bit of text? I just spent ...
\raisebox{1ex}{?}
When I try:
\raisebox{1ex}{--}
Context stops on the error:
"A <box> was supposed to be here
\raisebox{1ex}{ --}"
Provide a box :-) \raisebox{1ex}{\hbox{--}} (untested)
Yep. But when you actually run into one of these problems in LaTeX, you are often more or less left alone - unlike ConTeXt and this list.
I'm pursuing it with the hope of more beautiful results, but I'm not getting my problems solved here so far.
