I suppose that you mean the style? I'm not goint to publish undocumented styles (also, i took a quick look into it and could redo it in 30% less code nowadays [one problem is that there is more code in ther ethan used in the styles, esp alternative style code]

I like this layout, but it's difficult to realize the same.

Yes, I mean the style. In fact just how have the margin or edge ??? in black (with footer end header), and the great title in (right and horizontal left). Cheers. -

backgrounds like this can be made with mp :

\setupbackgrounds [page] [offset=3mm, background=page]

\defineoverlay [page] [\reuseMPgraphic{page}]

\startreusableMPgraphic{page} StartPage ; path p ; p := ulcorner Page -- llcorner Page -- llcorner Page shifted (BackSpace-LeftMarginDistance,0) -- ulcorner Page shifted (BackSpace-LeftMarginDistance,0) -- cycle ; fill (p enlarged PageOffset) rightenlarged -PageOffset withcolor \MPcolor{FillColor} ; StopPage ; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged PageOffset ; \stopreusableMPgraphic

i use a dedicated head \Aspect{Bla bla}:

\definehead [Aspect] [subject]

\setuphead [Aspect] [command=\MakeAspect, color=lightgray, style=\bfb, before={\blank[2*big]}, after={\blank[2*big]},]

\def\MakeAspect#1#2% {\hbox {\hskip-\marginwidth \hskip-\margindistance \framed [width=.5\textwidth, offset=2pt, frame=off, background=color, backgroundcolor=AspectColor] {\hskip.25cm#2\hfill}}}

None of us are well funded compared with the size of the task, and I am far from an exception to this rule. The natural consequence is that we each have attacked one small aspect of the task. Databases have traditionally used balanced tree algorithms to pack many small objects (fields) into a block. However, various efforts to implement filesystems on top of databases failed for performance reasons, leading to a widespread belief that balanced tree algorithms were somehow inherently too slow for use by filesystems for traditional filesystem usage patterns, which would of course imply that the status quo is well founded, and databases and filesystems should be separate programs.... We suggest to the reader that it was just that better balanced tree based storage layer implementations were needed, and that in fact balanced trees offer better performance for traditional file system usage patterns than traditional file system architectures. We encourage perusal of our benchmarks. \stoptext

Your test file runs perfectly fine here (absolutely latest MiKTeX).

Did you generate the .mem file via texexec --make metafun? Please observe that this puts the .mem file in the wrong directory, you must move it manually to the correct place. Also, you may want to make sure that your local texmf tree is searched before the global one (you can do this via MiKTeX Options).

That is nice. From time to time I like to scan sites like pragma for updates I think I need. However the manual items do not have version numbers or a version date such as the context beta download. The stuff is too large to download just for looking at its version inside. Is it a good suggestion to show version/date on the manual items too on the download page? I would appreciate.

You can look at the directory listing (thanks that Hans or his provider didn't block it!) and see the upload date.

there's a file overview.dat which you can feed into wget; maybe wget can just upload the changed files (don't know); anyhow, some sync-your-local-context thingies in on my agenda Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good, but I am accessing the file though a browser, not through ftp. The download page has not revealed upload dates, at least not to me. But I may be lookingin the wrong places. Can you be more specific, please.

You don't need an FTP client for that. The directory listings are made by the web server, not by the client. Just try: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/ or: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
