[NTG-context] Pdf bookmark
Hi,
When I use \bookmark[chapter]{Some bookmark} the bookmark appears twice
in the list of bookmarks
but the bookmark also appears twice in the Table of Contents.
Is this a known problem/bug or is there something I should do ?
I am using ConTeXt ver: 2008.02.01 17:25 MKII fmt: 2008.2.4 int:
english/english
Kind regards
Wim

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt book
We would also be really interested in such a book (even if it was a bit pricey).

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt book
I've been wondering ...does anyone know of any good (printed) book to learn ConTeXt? The ConTeXt book ... it has been a bit of a Holy Grail for quite a while, and it looks like it will be some more time until it is found. The reason why there is no comprehensive book yet is not clear to me; maybe Hans' documents were too intimidating in the first place and nobody dared enhance them ;-) But it's obvious that things can only become worse over time, because on the other hand there is quite a lot of sparse documentation about various aspects of ConTeXt, and it's not straightforward to gather it all in a comprehensive and coherent way -- by the way, I wish to protest here against the oft-repeated lament There is not enough documentation about ConTeXt (something you hear at lot on this list): I think it's completely biased, there is a lot of documentation concerning ConTeXt and it probably covers all the subjects; the only problem is that it's scattered. Even on the wiki, it's not always straightforward to find answers to a particular question (even if the answer to that exact question is there). Maybe this would be a way to start, organizing meta-information in the wiki, starting, of course, from pages where such information has already been gathered like http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Official_ConTeXt_Documentation and http://wiki.contextgarden.net/FAQ -- and of course, this should also be discussed at the ConTeXt meeting in Bohinj, where I trust all interested parties should come ;-) Arthur ___ 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 ___
