You can the number of lines on a page with the \setuplayout command.
\setuplayout[lines=20]
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{Line \recurselevel\par}
\stoptext

There was, but unfortunately it has been broken for a while, it just couldn't keep up with the software. It is both an advantage and a disadvantage to ConTeXt that it is a rapidly developing system. That gives it a lot of flexibility and we users can have close contact with the developers, so if you wish for something, you may actually get it, too. On the other hand this means that things are continuously on the move and sometimes you have to readjust your coding or your installation to fit the bill. It also seems that somewhere there's still a link to that old wiki page on Windows installation, I thought I'd killed them all... Here are the instructions that worked in September-October 2011, when I installed a few Windows 7 machines. Unfortunately it still involves fiddling a bit with file paths, but you only need to do this once; after that updating is pretty smooth (if the beta isn't broken in some other way...). http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation:_ConTeXt_Suite_with_SciTe As the only TeX system I use is ConTeXt, I've been running ConTeXt + SciTe combo almost from the moment it became available, and I've been reasonably happy with it most of the time. I admit that when I migrated my work stuff from Word to ConTeXt, the learning curve was very steep - and again this week I've spent several hours cursing non-existent documentation and trying to figure out in what order to do things. BUT once I get things to work in the way they should, upkeep is usually easy and I don't risk getting my graphics heavy files broken like what used to happen with Word. [Just had to go through another round of fighting over my right to use ConTeXt for what I do, but it seems that I won this round. Money talks, too, installing ConTeXt + SciTe on five computers is a lot cheaper than doing the same with InDesign...] Hope this helps, Mari Voipio ConTeXting in Windows since around 2003 ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] context instal
Cool, Very much thanks to luigi scarso - this is the way to help. I didt know that goes to mailing list. It was maybe a bit insulting for Mr. Gundlach and i am sorry for that. By the way your manual is very geeky too. :] i guess yout geekness is very high. Respect for that. I meant it generally - this ist just tool for something. Why lose time /generrally with just configuring and installing. Thats what i mean. Why do you think i've tried this. I did`t look for word replacement. Word is not enough to do something bigger and to have it good looking. ConTeXt loks very good for this purposes, easier then LaTex or some other Tex stuff.

[NTG-context] Header bottomframe on first page of document
Hello, If I have a bottom frame under my page headers, is it possible to have NO bottom frame under the header on ONLY the first page of a document? I am using: \setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on] to put a border line underneath all my page headers. I want to have a header on the first page of my document but no line under it (the first page header will be unique). I want to keep the vertical space for the header, so \setupheader[text][state=high] is not what I need. The reason for this is to have the option of placing a "banner" over the document title using the header. Some documents will need this, and some will not. So, if the extra banner is needed, I will put it in the first page header, and if not I will leave that header blank. The unique header will be set using: \definetext[firsthead][header][First Page Header Banner Text] % or leave it blank... \setuphead[title][header=firsthead,...] Thanks, PPN -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nel...@gmail.com ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Header/footer fonts problem in 20 DEC 2011 beta
Hello, I just installed the 20 Dec beta and noticed the following (compared to 29 Nov beta): 1. Headers and footers on ODD PAGES ONLY do not respect text styles set via \setupheader[style=\ss] and \setupfooter[style=\cg]. Text in both cases is in serif type. Headers and footers on EVEN pages have correct fonts. However, setting the font variant and size directly in \setupfootertexts[\cg\bf Footer Text] works for odd pages. On the plus side: 2. \restoreinterlinespace is no longer needed with section headers in a grid layout. (See: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20050620.212538.c081f1e4.en.html). Thank you for fixing that. 3. columnsets no longer run into the page footer area when using \setupheader[state=high]. Thanks, Hans!

The here and also in your other question is that \begstrut is broken, when you
add (the definition of \begstrut)
\starttexcode
\unexpanded\def\begstrut
{\relax\ifcase\strutht
% \ignorespaces % maybe
\else
\spacing_begstrut
\fi}

at the begin of your example you get a output for TABLE and stable which comes
close to tabulate.

Hello Word! You save afternoon to many >> other people :D Just think about it, ok? I don't know if it's a private exchange of messages, but anyway... 1) ConTeXt comes in two flavour: mkii and mkiv. mkii uses pdftex, and it's frozen, mkiv uses luatex and it's under active development 2) If you plan to use mkii, the simplest way is download and install the latest texlive; it has an installer, it's full of fonts --- and it's big. 3) if you want to use mkiv, keep in mind that it's under active development: things can change from a "release" (aka "beta") to another and a certain level of skill in system management and programming is required to manage the changes 4) the main developer uses Windows, and at least other two use Linux and Mac because, following the TeX tradition, we try to be OS/distro-aware (at least for the more common OS) 5) ConTeXt (and TeX) is not like MS Word, even if there are some programs that have a visual approach (TeXmacs, Texworks, for example, but most of them use Latex) For a properly configured system, an editor is almost all is needed. Under Windows there is a very good support for Scite, but I use emacs (so that I don't change anything when I switch to Linux ) and I don't have any kind of problem. Given that, installing more than a mkiv-beta and/or install mkiv frequently it's quite common, and for this task the command line approach is better than other. The instructions for windows are http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Installation_and_use_on_Windows and are not particularly complicated -- luigi ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

It’s neither a bug nor a feature, just a result of TeX’s horizontal and
vertical modes, the same happens when you use \framed in vertical mode.
\starttext
\framed{line 1}
\framed{line 2}
\stoptext

[NTG-context] Is there a replacement for \tracechinesetrue in mkiv?
Hi, I wrote some CJK vertical typesetting macros in mkii a long time ago and I want to adopt it to mkiv. Sadly the \iftracechinese is gone. Can I still draw boxes of each glyph to see if they are aligned in my way? Drawing a line in the background is so not cool. -- Best Regards Chen ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

That Windows installer has been known to be somewhat broken, so I wouldn't suggest that at the moment. (I got another offer for an installer during the conference, but my procrastination on rewriting distribution scripts keeps him happily waiting.)

Re: [NTG-context] fun with markings

As tex's natural model has some limitations, in mkiv we do things a bit diffrent (but rather well defined). When a set of marks on a page is identified, the following keywords can be used: previous : last before sync next : first after sync top : first in sync bottom : last in sync first: first not top in sync last : last not bottom in sync so, you need to use 'top' and 'bottom'. When the chain is to be ignored, one can append ":nocheck" to the keyword. There's also a 'current' method. Thank you very much! The top and bottom keywords were missing in the reference.
