Re: [NTG-context] was: figuretext problem --- is: how to modify (presentation) styles
Thanks Hans, this was most helpful!
I have another question, though:
After looking at various 'built-in' documentation styles I am wondering
about the best way
to modify one of these. I couldn't find any documentation besides how
to use the
styles as they are. So, if I want to make (say) the "green style" blue
and with smaller buttons,
are there setups for this? If yes, do I learn about these by looking at
the source, or, if no,
do I copy the source and try my best to mess around with it?

You want the 'impossible': both use the figure floater so the first
one is forgotten when the second is encountered; tables are a
solution, or maybe:
\useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[backspace=8cm,leftmargin=6cm,width=middle,cutspace=2cm]
\starttext
\placefigure
[leftmargin,reset]

The new web site is great. Now that I can see what the
manuals are about, I am condemned to try it all out. It has already
cost me this afternoon :)

[NTG-context] Nightmare after upgrading
Hello Hans, run into trouble again... yesterday I've upgraded MikTeX to 2.4, by the way I've upgraded ConTeXt to the newest version too, but after that I can texexec nothing more. I first tried some chinese texts, but texexec always reported: TeXExec 5.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 current path readonly : E:/Temp changing to path : C:\Temp executable : pdfetex format : cont-en source path : E:/Temp dummy file : test.run inputfile : test output : pdftex interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-rc4-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.4)output format initialized to DVIentering extended mode(test.run ConTeXt ver: 2004.10.07 fmt: 2004.10.7 int: english mes: english systems : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs) language : language en is activesystem : cont-new loaded(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\cont-new.texsystems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex!color : palette rollover is availablesystem (E-TEX) : [line 966] system (E-TEX) : [line 1021] )system : cont-old loaded(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\cont-old.texloading : Context Old Macros)system : cont-fil loaded(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\cont-fil.texloading : Context File Synonyms)system : cont-sys loaded(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\user\cont-sys.tex)bodyfont : 12pt rm is loadedlanguage : patterns en->default:default->1->2:2 de->default:default->3->2:2 fr->default:default->4->2:2 es->default:default->5->2:2 it->default:default->6->2:2 nl->default:default->7->2:2 loadedspecials : tex,postscript,rokicki loadedsystem : test.top loaded(./test.topspecials : loading definition file tpd(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\spec-tpd.texspecials : loading definition file fdf(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\spec-fdf.tex system (E-TEX) : [line 2256] \ifcsname )specials : fdf loaded )specials : fdf,tpd loaded)fonts : needs map file: ec-public-lm.mapfonts : needs map file: original-base.mapsystems : begin file test at line 1(E:/Temp/test.texsystem : macros of module chinese loaded(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\s-chi-00.tex(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\./type-pre.tex)bodyfont : variant chi is loaded(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\font-chi.texloading : Context Font Macros / Chineseencoding : coding chi is loaded(D:\CTeX\texmf\tex\context\base\enco-chi.texencoding : coding big5encoding : coding gbk)!

I've never thought it could be such a big problem. after several unsuccessful tries I decided to restored the old version, but I even couldn't go back! it seems that context has kept "memory" somewhere to trace the version changes. after 3 hours tired struggle I've lost all the patience and all the hope... I've also heared similar stories from other people, but I just wonder how it could be a trouble to upgrade a package like context?

Re: [NTG-context] first element in radio field
Moin!
First of all thanx to Hans and Willi for testing. It seems that I have to
update my (pdf)etex to a newer version. No bug: lucky Hans, unlucky me ;)

Hi Peter
I tried your example wit the alpha version:
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2)
...
ConTeXt ver: 2004.10.1 fmt: 2004.10.2 int: english mes: english
Indentation as mentioned in your mail I can not see. -- however there
are three things I do not really understand:
1. Though the frames are turned off for the unselected buttons, there
are left and righthand lines along the buttonboxes.
a result of \showmakeup (struts?)
2. When pointing on the first botton it turns correctly into the gray
area but with changing the text into "InAreaX", but this text can not
be selected in order to have it remaining.
the names are not well choosen
the prefix "X" in the button name means, that this button is inactive
(X-ing off);
only one button can be active in a radio field
3 When clicking on the second button the contents of the first butten
changes into the value "NormalX" ...
May be I do not get the idea of the radio-button ...
maybe this is not a good example for learning radio fields :)

Hello all!
This is my first attempt with fields, so I am not sure if this is a bug
in context or my fault :)
Anyway, the first element of my radio field is indented, while the
following
elements are ok. This is the case in horizontal and vertical
arrangment.
I added a minimal example...
ConTeXt ver: 2004.10.1 fmt: 2004.10.3 int: english mes: german
systems: pdfTeX version 111 -> please update
systems: eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs)
it looks ok here, do others have the same problem?
(\showmakeup may not be that handy in such cases)

may better be:
\noindent \vbox{\forgetall }
