[NTG-context] texexec.rb + pdfetex ignoring map files in $TEXMFPROJECT
Using older ConTeXt minimals based on texexec.pl, I was able to
export TEXMFPROJECT=${PWD}/texmf
in each projects directory and use fonts local to just that project.
Switching to the latest minimal with texexec.rb, pdfetex can't find my
custom *.map files. Interestingly, it does find my custom type-*.tex
files.
What is the correct way to include fonts on a project by project basis
instead of installing them into the global ConTeXt tree?

works for me, so my best advice is a context upgrade.
(maybe 'chapter' will work even in the old version).
How recent? I just tried it with the latest minimal, as well as
live.contextgarden.net and neither worked for me.
'chapter' only show me the chapter, not the sections. Unfortunately,
that's the exact opposite of what I'm hoping for.

Not _that_ recent. Strange, should have worked.
Okay, I guess that means it's a bug, not a feature. Hans: is this one

well, it depends ... i do get a one line toc between the chapter and

What the?! I specifically checked using live.contexgarden.net to make
sure it wasn't a configuration problem on my side. I swear that line
wasn't there! It's a good thing 5pm just arrived, I obviously need a

[NTG-context] using \doifnumberelse in a ToC numbercommand=
I asked this question a couple of days ago, but didn't get any takers. I
don't want to be a pest, but it's frustrating to be so close yet unable
to solve this final problem. Let's see if rephrasing the question helps.
I'm trying to use \doifnumberelse in a \setuplist numbercommand= but it
isn't working.
The simplified example below shows the very specific table of contents
layout I'm trying to accomplish. You will note that both the chapter
number and the appendix letter are labeled with Appendix when in fact
I want the chapter to be labeled Chapter.
Does anyone know either (a) how to get \doifnumberelse to work in this
situation or (b) if there's a better way I should have done this
instead.

You're probably right.
But I have no idea how to do it in some other way. You may take a look
at the following, but it has the side-effect that it will not only be
used in TOC, but also in text which is most probably not what you

It sounds like perhaps you could have fixed this during the font
import by using afm2pl instead of afm2tfm (afm2tfm has hardwired
rules for the space factor, afm2pl has a switch that allows
configuration by hand).
This is actually a true type font, so there was never an afm file.
However, I do have a vpl which appears to be correct. Near the head, it
contains:
(FONTDIMEN
(SLANT R 0.0)
(SPACE R 0.48)
(STRETCH R 0.0)
(SHRINK R 0.0)
(XHEIGHT R 0.4)
(QUAD R 1.0)
(EXTRASPACE R 0.48)
)
All glphys are (CHARWD R 0.48)
But even with afm2tfm, a correct monospace font should have the correct
value assigned. Perhaps the import process worth investigating?
That is very possible. After trying several approaches, I finally
settled on writing my own importer. It 162 lines of very readable (I
like to think) Bash scripting. I have included a compressed version.
What do I need to fix so that the default \def\normalspace{ } has the
correct width for the current font?
Assuming the font is monospace, you can try this:
\def\normalspace{\hphantom{0}}
I will give that a try.
Below is an example file that renders fine with lm/cm, but not my font.
Out of curiosity, which font is it?

All I know for sure is that it Works For Me(tm). Unfortunately, my
ConTeXt skills don't yet rise above that.
so, an option is to make a special encoding vector, say keycaps.enc and
define proper names, like
\definecharacter functioni ..
\definecharacter functionii ..
\definecharacter functioniii ..
\definecharacter functioniv ..
which permits:
\definefont[keycaps][...][encoding=keycaps]
{\keycaps ABC\functionvii DEF}
That would be easier to use. It's also worth noting that I saw some, but
not all, keys defined in Unicode.

[NTG-context] tweaking underlining
Reading the list archives, it looks like there are certain advantages,
to performing underlining according to my example below:
=
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definetextbackground[underline][location=text,alternative=1,background=,frame=off]
\definestartstop
[underline]
[before={\starttextbackground[underline]},
after=\stoptextbackground]
\starttext
\startunderline{}http://gurulabs.com/\stopunderline
\stoptext
=
I would like to tweak this a little however. Specifically, I'd like to
change the color of the line and move it down a point or two.
In one thread, Hans hinted how to do this:
you can redefine the metapost graphic, the main thing there is that
you draw/fill something related to the multipar paths; it takes a bit
of experimenting, but after a while you start seeing possibilities.
See plus-rul.tex for an example of such a graphic.
I think I've tracked this reference down to the definition of
mpos:par:columnset, but at this point am lost as to how to proceed.
Metapost is still beyond me. Any hints would be much appreciated.

There exist levels of commands:
\definecombinedlist

They seem to have similar options. Are both required? If I

\setupcombined list serve in the ordinary case of a Table of
Contents?
A related question: can I place all the necessary parameters in
the \completecontent command and do without the other two
completely?
ConTeXt already has the content combinedlist defined. So yes, you can
just use \completecontent[option=value]. \definecombinedlist is
available so that you can define your own type of combinedlist in case
the behavior of content does not match your needs.
The \setupcommand and \command pairing is a standard ConTeXt idiom. A
common usage is to define global behavior in the \setupcommand before
\starttext and then apply local variations in the \command. Of course,
\setupcommand can usually be called at any time, for example to change
behavior between part one and part two of a book.
If you haven't already, I suggest looking at cont-eni.pdf for more
information. I like to make simple test cases and play with commands to
understand them better. Below is an example you could use if needed.
\starttext
\completecontent
%\completecontent[alternative=a]
%\setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c]\placecontent

What is the best way to encourage line breaks without hyphenation? I've
tried many combinations of \setuptolerances, \clubpenalty, \widowpenalty

Basically, I've got XML content that is being rendered. Part of that
content needs to fit inside a small box at a large font size. (It's a
custom command tied to \chapter.) Although a line consisting of a single
word followed by copious white space would normally be very bad, in this
case it is fine. Below is an example situation where I want the text to
be rendered on two lines instead of one. I'm hoping I can do it without
adding manual breaks to the XML, however.
