Hello, Just a question for my curiousity: why \em switches to Slanted, not Italic? (I found this while setting up my own typescript for luatex.) Best, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hello,
Just a question for my curiousity: why \em switches to Slanted, not Italic? hmm, try \starttext aXX {\it aXX {\em aXX}} \em aXX \stoptext
Do you see the difference between first \em and second \em ? \em stands for emphasize, so if surrounding texts is italic \em switch to roman. -- luigi ---------------------------------------------------------------- If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net

I don't know the reason for difference in defaults, but it can be changed: \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] Aditya

slanted has alwaye been the default .. dates from the time that we mostly used computer modern and i didn't want that italic for emphasizing 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, I meant, why Context's defaults are different from latex's (and plain tex)

And this explains it :) Aditya

because i hardly used, plain, only used latex for one document, then moved on to lamstex, inrstex and then started making a package that was configurable nd and could handle dutch; i know plain, but my latex knowlegde is minimal (only what i hear at conferences) -) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
