Hi, Is there a special place to report bugs ? I have noticed that align=right aligns text on the left edge of a frame where it should align left as it says (and left aligns right). Is this normal ?

Sure. Think of it as ragged-right and ragged-left. This is one of the first questions in all ConTeXt FAQs, it has deep historical reasons, and it constantly confuses beginners :-) D.A. -- * 14 Mar 1978 # (Came in evening after sleeping most of day, to get computer at better time.) # (Some day we will have personal computers and will live more normally.) -- Donald E.

If nothing important has crept past me, being the first question in all ConTeXt FAQs is something trivially true, given the number of ConTeXt FAQs in existence. :-)) Christopher

You're a mathematician, aren't you :-))))) Have a look at http://contextgarden.net/, great material is there. And this is documented in http://contextgarden.net/Right_and_left, nevertheless, you're right, it isn't an FAQ :-) D.A. -- The Czechs announced after Sputnik that they, too, would launch a satellite. Of course, it would orbit Sputnik, not Earth!

The Wiki is missing the command that switches left/right to proper behavior. Which was that? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
I was pretty sure it wasn't a bug, at least not the big ones you see when you have holidays in Africa ;) Anyway, it would be great to be able to switch that to proper behaviour. Could anyone answer my second question which is : Is there any place to report bugs .. and are there release notes for new context versions ?
Hello Dirar,
Could anyone answer my second question which is :
Is there any place to report bugs ..
Tobias (it was Tobias, wasn't it?) once setup a bugzilla site for ConTeXt. But I guess it was never really used. And no ther are no places besides the mailinglist to report bugs.
and are there release notes for new context versions ?
Taco does an excellent job on this: goto http://contextgarden.net/Release_Notes and see what is there. (And many many thanks to Taco for this!) Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

Perhaps http://contextgarden.net/Bugs_and_workarounds
and are there release notes for new context versions ?
Also on the wiki: http://contextgarden.net/Release_Notes Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/
Thanks all. Would be nice to know how to switch the left and right keywords to do the opposite of what it does now.

there is a switcj but it would spoil the use of modules, you can use flushleft and flushright as alternatives Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

yes, historic reasons: raggedright = right you can use flushleft flushright if you like them more Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
