I apologize for not responding earlier. I've been wrapped up in a very

Also, I will of course try your suggestions.

Last spring, 1846, was a busy season in the City of St. Louis. Not
only were emigrants from every part of the country preparing for the
journey to Oregon and California, but an unusual number of traders
were making ready their wagons and outfits for Santa Fe. Many of the
emigrants, especially of those bound for California, were persons of
wealth and standing. The hotels were crowded, and the gunsmiths and
saddlers were kept constantly at work in providing arms and
equipments for the different parties of travelers. Almost every day
steamboats were leaving the levee and passing up the Missouri,
crowded with passengers on their way to the frontier.
In one of these, the Radnor, since snagged and lost, my friend and
relative, Quincy A. Shaw, and myself, left St. Louis on the 28th of
April, on a tour of curiosity and amusement to the Rocky Mountains.
The boat was loaded until the water broke alternately over her
guards. Her upper deck was covered with large weapons of a peculiar
form, for the Santa Fe trade, and her hold was crammed with goods for
the same destination. There were also the equipments and provisions
of a party of Oregon emigrants, a band of mules and horses, piles of
saddles and harness, and a multitude of nondescript articles,
indispensable on the prairies. Almost hidden in this medley one
might have seen a small French cart, of the sort very appropriately
called a "mule-killer" beyond the frontiers, and not far distant a
tent, together with a miscellaneous assortment of boxes and barrels.
The whole equipage was far from prepossessing in its appearance; yet,
such as it was, it was destined to a long and arduous journey, on
which the persevering reader will accompany it.
The passengers on board the Radnor corresponded with her freight. In
her cabin were Santa Fe traders, gamblers, speculators, and
adventurers of various descriptions, and her steerage was crowded
with Oregon emigrants, "mountain men," negroes, and a party of Kansas
Indians, who had been on a visit to St. Louis.
Thus laden, the boat struggled upward for seven or eight days against
the rapid current of the Missouri, grating upon snags, and hanging
for two or three hours at a time upon sand-bars. We entered the
mouth of the Missouri in a drizzling rain, but the weather soon
became clear, and showed distinctly the broad and turbid river, with
its eddies, its sand-bars, its ragged islands, and forest-covered
shores. The Missouri is constantly changing its course; wearing away
its banks on one side, while it forms new ones on the other. Its
channel is shifting continually. Islands are formed, and then washed
away; and while the old forests on one side are undermined and swept
off, a young growth springs up from the new soil upon the other.
With all these changes, the water is so charged with mud and sand
that it is perfectly opaque, and in a few minutes deposits a sediment
an inch thick in the bottom of a tumbler. The river was now high;
but when we descended in the autumn it was fallen very low, and all
the secrets of its treacherous shallows were exposed to view. It was
frightful to see the dead and broken trees, thick-set as a

[NTG-context] rectangle-words (like in details.pdf)
Hi, maybe it's a trivial question: How do I get these black rectangle-words as they are used in Hans' "details.pdf" for example (see page 16 or 25)? Is this a special font - or is there a certain context command used? Thank you, Steffen ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] The last line
Hi, as far as I know TeX has some internal rules (and penalties) for judging where to hyphenate words or not in order to keep a paragraph not too densed and not too loose. Some rules can be modified by commands like tolerance, spaceskip, emergencystretch et al. Now, I want to have control over the last line. I would like to avoid syllables smaller than (for example) 4 letters being the only element in a paragraphs last line. Like this: xx x xx xxx xxx xx- xxx. Is there a way to make a kind of global definition for this for the entire document? Thanks for any hints, Steffen ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Brooks and Hans both gave solutions that do not work all too well (because of combinatory explosion: conseptually there is a distinct 'before-before', 'after-before', 'before-after', 'after-after', and 'not-found' text -- that depends on the current language -- for each and every one of the nodes in the nested tree that represents a bibliographic item). The best 'easy' solution I can think of is: copy the bibl-xxx.tex file you want to a different name (like bibl-apa-de.tex), then change the text within it on the spot, without any macro replacements whatsoever. My next release will support something like \setuppublications[style=apa, language=de] so from then on, the problem will be hidden from the casual user.

Having recently fought with the same issue (i.e. \setupbodyfont[pos]) with my recent installation of TeXLive, I found one answer in the user settings - this might be what you are looking for (don't understand enough of fonts to say for sure). The TeXLive cont-sys.rme/cont-sys.tex settings file says: % If you run into missing font metrics kind of problems, % you may want to uncomment: % \usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] Well, I don't expect my users to understand about changing the cont-sys.rme/cont-sys.tex file, so the settings need to be in the file/environment and thus I put this on top of my file instead (I use ec encoding, seems to work best with Windows): \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] \usetypescript[pos] % maybe I don't need this line any more??? \setupbodyfont[pos,10pt] And it works like a charm, at least with my files. All complaints stopped at once, which made me *very* happy. Looks like I can soon provide my dummy users with something easily installable that doesn't need any tweaking...

One problem with that method is that those names seem relatively
common, and thus likely to lead to conflicts in the future.
I would thus suggest \bibitempagename, \bibitemandname, and similar.
(Since ConTeXt allows "!" in macro names, maybe \bibitem!pagename,
\bibitem!andname, and so forth would be more readable.)

\labeltext{page}
\setuplabeltext[nl][page=xxx] \mainlanguage[nl] \labeltext{page}

so, best do something like:
\setuplabeltext[nl][bib-page=whatever] with \labeltext{bib-page}

[NTG-context] MikTeX 2.4 and Fonts
Dear Hans, Silly Questions: I use MikTeX 2.4 and there are some ConTeXt Demos underneath texmf/doc/context/demos.
