Re: [NTG-context] Floats Method
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hallo! In \setupfloats[] what exactly is the difference between textmethod and sidemethod? textmethod is used for floats inside the text flow, sidemethod for sidefloats. Compared with the gridsize, why does a 1 point window (method=2) help when typesetting on grids? I assume it corrects for the \lineskip glue. Isn't 1% (method=1) much more in the most cases than 1 point? Yes it would be. Perhaps that one is because of \maxdepth, but I am only guessing. The fact that there are two methods could be simply a trial-and-error left over. Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hallo!
While I was reading 'In the Details' to learn more about grid-

Then in section 1.8 I read that grid=line should be a shortcut for

Section 1.8 deals \exclusively with \externalfigure. Apparently
the grid option for sectioning commands is handled differently.

Re: [NTG-context] the closing bracket (structuring syntax)

You can always define your own startstop.
\definestartstop[italic][before={\bgroup \it},after={\egroup}]
and then do
\startitalic
This is italic
\stopitalic
When a command takes an optional agrument, you can do use something
like
this
\def\startfootnote%
{\unskip\dosingleempty\dostartfootnote}
\def\dostartfootnote[#1]#2\stopfootnote%
{\footnote[#1]{#2}}
And what would be the opposite?
For example \startquote ... \stopquote
to something like {MyQuote ... }

Re: [NTG-context] compiling project files

Compiling the _project_ file yields no .tuo. My product file does indeed look like what you wrote. Shall I jump out the window or not? :) It depends on which floor you live in ;) It might help if you create a *minimal* example first (just a few files with no more than the structure itself and a couple of words/sections in it), write the commands that you use and attach a zip with those files and probably logs. Mojca PS: try to update ConTeXt to the latest version if you intend to send log files and try to use the ruby version of texexec (texmfstart texexec) if possible. None should be necessary (it should work with the ancient version as well), but it often helps, esp. because tetex still uses the 2002 version of ConTeXt for example. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] some questions
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
How can I use the brace-key right?
\starttable[| \{ |]
the wiki entry is not that clear (enclose the column in braces).
\{ is a just a grouping command (which directly gives a solution
for
your second answer)
Use
[| a{\{}b{\}} |]
to add braces
\NC no braces \SR
\stoptable
What I am doing wrong here?
\starttable[ o1 | C{red} |]
\{C{red}
Ahh! I see!
So '\{' is a table command NOT a FormatKey?
But why is '\{' introduced in 'thrd-tab.tex' with
\NewFormatKey \{{..} as a primitive key?
The wikiwriter has obviously used this source too.
Should'nt \arg{bla} be \type{{bla}}?
\arg{bla} gives me 'argbla'!

Is there a newer variant of that manual?
Must be, I read mine online from

while I was keying in this answer.
