In LaTeX you have a \linewidth command (compare the difference with
\textwidth, which doesn't change):
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
linewidth: \the\linewidth, textwidth: \the\textwidth
\begin{itemize}
\item linewidth: \the\linewidth, textwidth: \the\textwidth
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
However, in ConTeXt the linewidth is reserved for rule thickness or
something similar. Which is the ConTeXt alternative to LaTeX's
\linewidth?

[NTG-context] Lettrine module
Good morning Taco,
sorry for addressing a question to you peronally.
When trying to use other commands like \framedtext or \startalignment in
connection with the lettrine-module I get an error concerning a
! Missing number, treated as zero.
Could you please have a look at this?
Minimal example:
\usemodule[lettri]
\setuplettrine[Lines=2,
Hang=0,
Oversize=0,
Raise=0,
Findent=0pt,
Nindent=0.5em,
Slope=0pt,
Ante=,
FontHook=,
TextFont=\sc,
Image=no]
\starttext
% \startalignment[middle]
\framedtext[frame=off,align=middle,offset=10pt,style=\bfa,width=\makeupwidth]{%
\lettrine[Lines=4,Slope=-.7em, Hang=.5, Nindent=16pt]{\red L}{as}

Se van por la misma senda. \crlf
Las pe\~{n}as son de nosotros,\crlf
Las vaquitas son ajenas.
}

\stoptext
Thanks for your support

[NTG-context] bug with active :!;?
Hi,
Seems like the following crashes conTeXt:
\useencoding [ffr]
\mainlanguage[fr]
\setupheadertexts[text][][][\setups{run:left}][]
\startsetups run:left
nothing
\stopsetups
\starttext
Nothing special here
\stoptext
Of course one can live with this by renaming the tag.
However, the bug will also occur in the
\cite[Bob:A,Bob:B]
commands from the bib module, and I assume in anything that deals with
csnameS containing active colons...
Strangely enough, the bug doesn't seem to occur in
\placeformula[eq:A]
Many thanks for hinting a fix,
Olivier

Hi Willi,
Definately a bug! I'll do a new release soon.
Line 146 in t-lettri.tex should become the next two lines:
\scratchdimen = \rightskip % new
\edef\Lparshape{\Lparshape\space \the\scratchdimen\space \the\hsize}%

Re: [NTG-context] How to customize the default verbatim colors
Thanks a lot, Taco! I knew there should be a good way! Maybe it would be useful to add it to http://contextgarden.net/Verbatim_text ? I also noticed that XML verbatim does not correctly handle tags with namespace. In the xml like ns:tag attribute=somevalue the ns gets colored with tag-color, the tag with attr-color. I think the whole ns:tag should be of tag-color.

This sounds like the problem is not with your symlink, but with your TeX installation. Are you sure it has been copied to your backup disk? How did you clone the disk?
