\setuphead question (long section lines not wrapping)
I'm trying to layout a paper for a conference that requires a format different from the standard latex layout, and for the most part context has been making this quite easy on me (excluding the four hours I spent trying to mimic the latex \thanks{} construct), however, I've encoutered a new problem that's confusing me. since I'm sure the problem stems from my lack of plain tex and context knowledge, I figured someone here would know what I'm doing wrong, and asking you for help is certainly more pleasant than banging my head for another four hours only to find another trivial solution... My problem is this: I needed to place a "." after the number in the section and subsection headings, so I included the following in my preamble: % setup section headings to include a . after the section number \setuphead [section] [command=\mysec, indentnext=yes] \def\mysec#1#2{#1. #2} \setuphead [subsection] [command=\mysubsec, indentnext=yes] \def\mysubsec#1#2{#1. #2} This works just fine as far as inserting the ".", however, it has the side-effect of not wrapping long section of subsection headings. For example, \subsection[longsubsec]{This is a really long subsection heading that won't wrap} gets typeset all on a single line, which is not good since the paper is set in two columns... So, is there either a better (more proper) way to insert the ".", or at least a better command to use for \mysec and \mysubsec Thanks, William D.

hm, must be some kind of complex thing then, what is \thanks supposed to do?

No, it's not complex at all, and the answer ended up being trivial. The \thanks command is essentially a footnote to be used in the title portion of an article (or book, etc.) -- the big problem I was having was that the footnote mark was appearing fine, but the footnote text was nowhere to be found -- this was solved once I found the essentially hiden \footnotetext command and used that to place the text where I wanted it. After that, I needed to figure out how to reset the footnote counter (which was a pretty minor problem to solve).
\setuplabeltext[en][chapter={{A},{B}}]
\setuphead[section][separator={XXX}]
\setuplist[chapter,section][stopper=.]
\placecontent[criterium=text]
\chapter{\input tufte \relax} \section{test}
That's not doing what I need. What I need is for the section headings in the text of the article to look like {section number}. {section title} -- I was able to insert the "." between the number and the title easily enough, but my solution turned off line wrapping for the title. I've attached an example that shows both what I am trying to do, and how my solution fails (on page 2 of the accompanying dvi). Thanks, William D.

Re your question about the section numbering with a dot: This is nothing I found out, but something Hans (who else?) posted to the list a while ago, and I believe it does what you want to achieve: \setuplabeltext[section={{},{.}}] Best Thomas

\setuplabeltext[en][section={{},{.}},subsection={{},{.}}] should do that; i don't know why it does not break in your case Hans

This works fine for separate titlepages, is there a similar technique for doing this when the title is on the first page of the text (see the attached dvi from my last message for an example)? I had tried using local footnotes during my experimentation the other day, but they always appeared between the title and the text, rather than below the first column of text, as is the norm. Again, this is a minor issue, as a combination of \high, \footnotetext, and \resetnumber work just fine as a quick hack...

Ah...thank you; this does work. Although I must say, I would *never* have gotten this from the documentation which treats \setuphead and it's command parameter as the way to control the appearance of sectioning titles, and never provides a backreference to \setuplabeltext, which is tucked away in the chapter on language specific issues. And even there, the documentation never comes close to describing the behavior shown above. Thank goodness for the living breating documentation that this list provides then, eh? Thank you again, William D. Neumann --- "Well I could be a genius, if I just put my mind to it. And I...I could do anything, if only I could get 'round to it.

\title{test \footnote{test}} \section{test \footnote{test}} tets \footnote{test} \framed{\postponefootnotes test \footnote{test}} should work, but somehow the latest greatest multi note version messes up the postponed notes (they end up in a separate class)

hm, this double label thing is needed for chinese (which introduced a few more interesting non documented features) anyhow, those few hours playing learned you read context source code -) Hans
