\iint\limits should work correctly. It is based on the same macro in

If you always need \limits, I can provide an option for \displaylimits

I did not know about [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it looks horrible

Re: [NTG-context] update mkiv
Quoting Hans Hagen [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hi,
I'm uploading an update.
Thank for MKIV. It looks pretty good. I am assuming that the speed
issues will be sorted out by the time of the final release.
This fixes the missing texmfstart in the
windows related zips. I also added format generation entries in the
toolsmenu of scite. Because luatex runs from temp paths, you need to
regenerate a format after updating.
Something is broken at the garden. It says luatools not found. Luatex
was working yesterday on the garden.
I also extended ctxtools --update (not tested).
Some initial remarks.
* A newline is missing somewhere in luatools. I get

There should be a \n after test.tex
Also

The above code works fine with pdftex.

correct displays correctly. And the state machine for pretty printing
is much easier to understand in lua than it was in tex.

Re: [NTG-context] Usage of \setupfootnotedefinition?
Thanks to Albrecht and Steffen for their quick and informative replies. I guess \setupfootnotedefinition isn't what I am looking for. It seems to mainly be a way to customize the footnote *numbering*, right? What I wanted to try was to put footnotes in the margin. My text has a lot of footnotes, and a few of them are absurdly long (no, I didn't write the book); the conventional layout results at several points in truly abominable pages, so I thought I'd try something unconventional. Guess I'll have to do it some other way. -- Matt Gushee : Bantam - lightweight file manager : matt.gushee.net/software/bantam/ : : RASCL's A Simple Configuration Language : matt.gushee.net/rascl/ : ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Splitting footnotes
Hello, folks-- I am trying to typeset a book that has many footnotes; most of them are of moderate length, but a few are terribly long[*]. I am trying to use \setupfootnotes[split=*], but so far haven't got good results. You see, there is only one footnote that really needs to be split across pages (it takes up about two-thirds of a page); if I use [split=tolerant], many footnotes get split, which I would like to avoid, but if I say [split=strict], the longest one does not get split. I have also tried numeric values, but that doesn't seem to do anything. So my questions/comments are: 1. What does a numeric value represent, and what is the range of useful values? I first tried fairly small values like 1, 10, 25, thinking it was the number of lines, then thought it might be a tolerance value (as in \badness), and tried 1000 and 1. None of these numbers had any effect. 2. It seems there is a very large gap between 'strict' and 'tolerant'. Might it not be a good idea to have four steps, e.g. 'verystrict', 'strict', 'tolerant', and 'verytolerant'; or 'verystrict', 'strict', 'medium', and 'tolerant'? [*] Of course, the ideal solution would be to edit or delete the overly long ones. However, I'm working with a well-known 19th century text. Thus, it's in the public domain and I can legally do whatever I want with it, but I don't feel it would be appropriate to make substantive alterations to the content. -- Matt Gushee : Bantam - lightweight file manager : matt.gushee.net/software/bantam/ : : RASCL's A Simple Configuration Language : matt.gushee.net/rascl/ : ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
