Hi All, I realized one error in my tikz code. I forgot the semi-colon. But with the semi-colon, the tikz part is completely ignored.
Anyhow, in a previous post here I found a good example of absolute positioning of text using Context's positioning macro. That is awesome for my current purpose. Thanks Peter for that (and of course, Hans for everything). But would still like to learn if Tikz's absolute positioning is incompatible with Context.
