[NTG-context] context doens't work in cli mode on ubuntu 11.04?
Hello everybody, I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 64bits, and try to generate a pdf without success. On ubuntu 10.10 64bit, it works perfectly, but after the upgrade, no ... So I ask you if you have any idea.

mkiv should be used only with minimals;
mkii should be ok with distros, but given that is included into the
minimals, in the end
it's always better to use the minimals .

[NTG-context] \def vs \define
Hi,
in this example the question mark nicely becomes part of the command name:
\def\OverFull?{\overfullrule30\points}
\OverFull?
here it does not work at all:
\define\OverFull?{\overfullrule30\points}
\OverFull?
(... but gives "??" instead)
As "\define" seems to be more canonical:
Does this result mean it is not recommended to use question marks in command
names?

Thank you Wolfgang, the metapost solution looks very good! I'll make this
part of my cont-user.tex, I think...
Can we have this as part of the core and accessible using:
leftframe=on|off|brace|bracket|parenthesis
and similar options for topframe, bottomframe, and rightframe,
or perhaps predefined metapost graphics for setting
background={metapost:leftbrace,metapost:topbrace}, etc (similar to line
shading macros.

Perhaps we can have an equivalent \definevalue that also checks for
previous definitions.

MetaPost is the easier choice because we can add more styles to draw also fancy
borders for tables etc.

In my viewer (okular), it also looks nicer. With the $\left\{ solution,
one could see tiny gaps between the parts of the brace. I assume this
wouldn't be visible when you print it out, but at large sizes in a
presentation, this doesn't look very nice, whereas the metapost solution
is perfect.

[NTG-context] footnotes: is this a bug?
Hi all,
this is something that has made me wonder: am I doing something wrong
here, or is this a bug with footnote placement? Run the attached
example, look at the last 2 pages, 5 and 6. On p. 5, the footnotes run
off the page area. On p. 6, why is there so much space between text area
and footnote area. The reason for this somewhat exotic set-up: our
publisher wanted the footnotes of the last page of every chapter to
start right after the text, not at the bottom of the page. In the end, I
told them I couldn't do it, and they were fine with it. But I still
think it should be possible; I've looked into a number of books, and it
seems a common layout in the humanities. Maybe someone has a bright
idea? (Wolfgang, you answered to this problem 2 weeks ago and suggested
having "aftersection={\setupnote[footnote][location=high]}" in
\setuphead, but this triggers the same problems). So maybe a bug?

\dorecurse{21}{Imagine trying to live in a world dominated by dihydrogen
oxide, a compound that has no taste or smell and is so viable in its
properties that it is generally benign but at other times swiftly
lethal. Depending on its state, it can scald you or freeze you. In the
presence of certain organic molecules it can form carbonic acids so
nasty that they can strip the leaves from trees and eat the faces off
statuary. In bulk, when agitated, it can strike with a fury that no
human edifice could withstand. Even for those who have learned to live
with it, it is often murderous substance.\footnote{In bulk, when
