[NTG-context] blank page in doublesided mode
In doublesided mode ConTeXt seems to insert a blank page at the end of a document when there is an odd number of printed pages. I have checked the English documentation and so far I have only found out how to force a page in order to produce an even paged document. I have yet to come across anything that seems to show how to stop ConTeXt from adding a blank page. Any pointers will be very gratefully received.

Re: [NTG-context] live ConTeXt

It should be relatively easy to make one based on KNOPPIX (my computer is too weak though). Please, let me know if you find one. ConTeXt often needs little fixes, so a simple way to install updates and generate new efmt files is needed. Thus it isn't really practical to rely entirely on a CD-based distro, and in any case, you need something other than ram to write the output files. You will do better to stick with a robust distro like knoppix and find a way to use ConTeXt. XP users can have texmf trees in their hard disk user data area that knoppix can read, but writing to NTFS seems a bit dodgy. Knoppix does, however, include everything you need to create user accounts with specific UID/GID and mount NFS directories, so if you can arrange a suitable NFS server, everything can live there. All this can be done using knoppix.sh to start the necesary services and unpack a new home directory from a user.tbz file. You will need to save a configs.tbz after adding the required group and user passwd entry (vigp, adduser, vipw, etc) and creating an fstab entry for the nfs mount. One problem with linux programs is that sometimes paths are coded in the hard way, for instance, SciTE comes with hard coded paths and therefore cannot be run from cd Hans Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE/POD/CTS 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 - ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] problems with / bugs in naturals tables?

Yet, the results are rather unsatisfactory. In particular I encounter the following problems: 1. The table header that is to be repeated after every page break includes a lot of whitespace. This white space is not contained in the provided input. 2. The frames of cells are extended bellow the bottom margin if there is a nr-attribute greater than one and a page break is necessary. In order to illustrate these problems, I attach a ConTeXt file and the produced pdf. Does anyone know about these problems? Is there a workaround?

[NTG-context] Again: hanging for a lot of paragraphs?
Hi friends, there are for sure more sophisticated and more urgent problems, but my question to me is really a big problem. Isn't there anybody that knows a command or a work-around that could help? Thank you very much, Steffen Steffen Wolfrum [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I know there is \starthanging \stophanging and \hangafter=1 \hangindent=1em . Both commands need to be added to each affected paragraph again and again, right? Is there a way to have this hanging first line for a series of paragraphs - with just a kind of \starthangingarea aa bb cc \stophangingarea In cases like bibliographies and alike this would speed up work a lot!!

Hi,
Very quick hack:
\starttext
\def\hangover{\hangafter=1\hangindent=1em }% sorry for the stupid macro name
\definestartstop[hangingarea]
[before={\bgroup\appendtoks\hangover\to\everypar},
after=\egroup]
\starthangingarea
\input tufte
\input tufte
\stophangingarea
\input tufte
\stoptext
