[NTG-context] Two questions about \subject vs \section
Hello all. I have a series of documents which use \section to create a numbered heading and \subject to create an unnumbered one. I would like the unnumbered headings (the \subjects) to do put the titles in the running heads and in the tables of contents, like the \sections do. I have experimented with \setuphead but can't see how this can be done? A related question which might help me answer the first - where would I find the default settings for things like \chapter and \subject, so that I can see how they are originally set up and therefore how to make them behave differently? The tex/context/base/*.tex files don't seem to contain \definehead commands for these, so I assume they must be done in a different way internally? Thanks for any help.

[NTG-context] load order?
Hi. Who's familiar with initialisation file loading order? I define some generic formatting options in cont-loc (because it's loaded by default, it doesn't get overwritten, and I use it on several machines). I successfully use them by adding a command at the start of tex source files. I'd like them to be choose-able for any file from the command line with (I presume) a mode. I've tried this in cont-loc and cont-sys, but it doesn't have an effect. \doifmode {atl} {\LocalSetup[interaction,sansheadings]} Where should I put it? Is it maybe a grouping issue? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

[NTG-context] can TeX do That?
As a follow-up to yesterday's question from an ex-FrameMaker user, William Adams posted the following response to Hans's response: Begin Forwarded Message Subject: Re: [OS X TeX] Can Tex do That? From: "William F. Adams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2004 11:15:07 -0500 I've been very busy at work lately (but finally finding (some) time to work on TUG2003 and my paper ;) The answers received here and on TeXHaX are quite good though, so I didn't feel (too) guilty about not answering. Did want to comment on this: On Monday, February 9, 2004, at 10:41 AM, Adam Lindsay quoted Hans Hagen saying: > - i still have to find something that cannot be done in tex (apart from > page by page made up documents but that's a different game anyway) Actually, when automated layout styles break down here or simply won't raise up to the customer's quality expectation here at work, doing such on a case-by-case, page-by-page basis is the raison-detre (sorry, not sure 'bout the funny French accents ;) for my employment here. Doing such manually / by hand in TeX is the first line of defence and is usually where things are held at (picking spreads to run long / short is a good example as is forcing float placement), but at need we'll fall back on tweaking things w/ Enfocus PitStop or (re)creating a section in FreeHand or Illustrator. This is usually done in the final moments of a project when time is tight and there's no payoff for doing things programmatically (most of our books are one-offs and the designer was _not_ paid extra for series use) A question I've not seen asked is, did you trouble to tag your documents w/ SGML? If so, you're a good ways toward re-use / switching to a formatting engine like TeX. If not, what's your budget? My suggestion would be to set up LaTeX documentclass packages for all the documents which you create, then use LyX for editing all of your text source (and rtf2latex to pull in Word .docs from the un-washed masses), w/ a .layout file for LyX which calls your documentclasses, things should, ``just work'' at that point except for the odd special case which will require manual tweaking (can be done as ERT (evil red text --- raw LaTeX code) inserted into the text). There was a very nice presentation at TUG2003 on doing this sort of switch, but the company bought the code and it wasn't released. Can't resist pointing out though that John Warnock swore up and down that for so long as he was in charge at Adobe after their purchase of Frame Corp. Adobe would do FrameMaker (nominally he's not in charge of day-to-day operations these days).
