[NTG-context] Interactive documents
Hi My name is Manuel Gonzalez and I am a teacher of Classical Greek at the University of Oviedo (Spain). So far I've been using LaTeX but recently I have discovered the extraordinary possibilities of ConTeXt. However, I have continuously problems which I solved as I can (I'm a complete newbie and I do not know the details of programming languages). Well, theproblem is the following: I want to make an interactive document and I copy the code that appears in Context an excursion, page 65, but did not appear in the final document navigation tools, such as EXIT, STOP, etc.. What could be the cause? Thanks very much and I apologize for my bad English.

[NTG-context] misprint in wiki
In the wiki under \setupexternalfigures one finds for the framing of the figure following in the table: frames on off Mark the 's' at the end of 'frames' I tested it and found it has to be 'frame' without the 's'. This is the same misprint as occurred in the earlier ConTeXt manual of 2001. Perhaps someone knowledageable about changing the wiki can verify this and will be so kind as to update the wiki.

The manuals uses
\setupinteractionmenu
[mymenu]
[{Content[content]},
{Index[index]},
{\vfill},
{Stop[ExitViewer]}]
to set the content for the menu and not
\startinteractionmenu[mymenu]
\startbut [content] Content \stopbut
…
\stopinteractionmenu
What’s also missing is a note that you have to adjust the layout (decrease
the text width and set rightwidth) to let the menu appear on the page.
@Hans: Can you take a look at the output from my example in the other mail
because the first button of the menu appears in the header of the document.

You probably use a large size locally, say \switchtobodyfont[25pt] and in that case you need to define a bodyfontenvironment in order to prevent endless local definitions.

[NTG-context] setupcaptions
I want to make my figure captions both slanted and small, or bold and small,etc.
The wiki has for setupcaptions:
headstyle normal, bold, .. , small, ..
style normal, bold, .. , small, ..
I therefore expected to work the following setup:
\setupcaptions[headstyle={slanted,small},style={bold,small}]
\starttext
\placefigure{A dummy figure}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
Caption test.
\stoptext
But no, two seems too much. style={bold} does work and style={small} but style
= {bold,small} does not. From the general principles of ConTeXt's parameter
handling I would have expected this to work.
Of course I could have used style={\bf\switchtobodyfont[small]}, but I would
prefer to refrain from low level font commands when possible.
I am right the setupcaptions should work with combined fontsettings, or is it
my mistake?

[NTG-context] seeindex: accents and such
Dear all,
I have some minor problems with \seeindex
It seems that it does not render accents properly nor is it possible to
introduce commands. Is this an intended behavior, am I doing something wrong or
is there a bug?

\setupregister[index]

style={\bf\WORD},
balance=yes

\starttext

% same holds for accents
M\unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier\index{M\unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier}\seeindex{good

You misunderstand how named styles work. When you have style key (can be style,
textstyle etc.)
for a command you can write “style=\bf” and use the font switch as argument.
Another way to set
the font is to use a name, e.g. “style=bold”. The argument in this case is a
identifier which is defined as
\definealternativestyle [\v!bold] [\bf] []
As you can see “bold” is only a synonym for \bf (with the third argument you
can specify what should
happen when a command when the identifier is used in a heading, see below for a
example.
\definehead[HeadA][section][style=bold]
\definehead[HeadB][section][style=italic]
\starttext
\HeadA{normal \style[style=italic]{italic} normal \style[style=bold]{bold}
normal \style[style=\it]{it} normal \style[style=\bf]{bf} normal}
normal \style[style=italic]{italic} normal \style[style=bold]{bold} normal
\style[style=\it]{it} normal \style[style=\bf]{bf} normal
\HeadB{normal \style[style=italic]{italic} normal \style[style=bold]{bold}
normal \style[style=\it]{it} normal \style[style=\bf]{bf} normal}
normal \style[style=italic]{italic} normal \style[style=bold]{bold} normal
\style[style=\it]{it} normal \style[style=\bf]{bf} normal
\stoptext
Having a list as argument for the style key is interesting and you have my vote
for this but it would
be more complex and slower than the current mechanism.

Re: [NTG-context] seeindex: accents and such
Hi Wolfgang, Thanks. That's truly an option. I have already looked into this and it works. As a matter of fact, this is what I decided to do if there is no quick fix. However, I thought I'd point it out, since it works for \index and just not for \seeindex. Secondly, the \sc (command) issue persists. Thirdly, once upon a time I have opened my tex files on a foreign machine and I realized that all accents were screwed. This was the day when I decided to become even more paranoid and by that not to use ü and friends in my source files. Maybe I should stop being paranoid, since all people around me seem to be using accents...
