[NTG-context] Coming back to ConTeXt
Hi, I decided to give another try to ConTeXt. I already did two years ago, I think, but I had problems mostly because of the lack of documentation for MkIV. Having a more or less strong knowledge and experience of LaTeX doesn't help!!! This time: I did not succeed to install a stand alone version. I have also TeX Live and I need it for LaTeX. I am using TeXworks (not the one from TeX Live). I use ConTeX from TeX Live 2012: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012080612 (TeX Live 2012/W32TeX) ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.20 int: english/english Following the discussions on ntg-context, there often is solution using one of hte latest version of ConTeXt, so I have a first question: is it possible to update the TeX Live ConTeXt and its associated files? I also have questions about typography (hyphenation, typographic rules,...) to have something according the French rules, and others... Other questions in another message.

[NTG-context] Some questions
Hi,
Now some questions to solve the problems I have when I try
to follow the tutorial ConTeXt an excursion.
I think it is for mkII and I use mkIV and that there has
been many changes in between.
- The example at the bottom of page 11 and page 12 gives
me an error:
! Argument of \head has an extra }.
system tex error on line 52 in file
travail.tex: Argument of ...
42 Hasselt lies in the province of Overijssel and there
are a number of customs that are typical of this province.
43 \startitemize
44 \head kraamschudden \hfill (child welcoming)
45 When a child is born the neighbours come to visit the
new parents. The women come to admire the baby and the men
come to judge the baby (if it is a boy) if he will become a
strong man.
46 The neighbours will bring a {\em krentenwegge} along.
A krentenwegge is a loaf of currant bread of about 1 \Meter\
long. Of course the birth is celebrated with {\em jenever}.
47 \head nabuurschap (naberschop) \hfill (neighbourship)
48 Smaller communities used to be very dependent on the
cooperation among the members for their well being. Members
of the {\em nabuurschap} helped each other in difficult
times during harvest times, funerals or any hardship that
fell upon the community.
49 \head Abraham \ Sarah \hfill (identical)
50 When people turn 50 in Hasselt it is said that they
see Abraham or Sarah. The custom is to give these people a
{\em speculaas} Abraham or a Sarah. Speculaas is a kind of
hard spiced biscuit.
51 \stopitemize
52
- The tables pages 30-31-32-35 are not at the right position
on the page, mostly they are to the right and not centered.
- The chemical formulae give an error (pages 37-38), but
I'll come back to that later on, but what is the manual
about it?
- The boxes on page 45, second example are not at the right
position, particularly the second is on the same line as the
first.
\leftaligned
{\inframed[width=fit]{People in Hasselt}}
\midaligned
{\inframed[height=1.5cm,frame=off]{have a}}

What are the up todate manuals for MkIV?
OK It's enough bothering you for the moment.
Thanks in advance,
Alain Delmotte

Hans and Alan are in the process of completely re-writing the
chemical macros. I don't know the current state.

In MkIV there's a new syntax you can use:
\startlinealignment [left]
\inframed[width=fit]{People in Hasselt}
\stoplinealignment
\startlinealignment [middle]
\inframed[height=1.5cm,frame=on]{have a}
\stoplinealignment
\startlinealignment [right]
\inframed[background=screen]{historic background}
\stoplinealignment
I did not investigate why the middle alignment is on the same line
as the left alignment and if that's intended or not.
What are the up todate manuals for MkIV?
I'm afraid there are none (and probably never will be). The wiki
improved an awful lot during the last months, especially the command
reference. There's also the revised manual, tex.stackexchange and of
course the mailing list.

[NTG-context] setuphead command ! Argument of \xxx has an extra }.
Hi,
I am trying to use a homemade command to display chapter heads but I
systematically get the following error:
! Argument of \ChapterHead has an extra }.
Here is my minimal example
\def\ChapterHead#1#2{#1 --- #2}
\setuphead[chapter][command=\ChapterHead]
\starttext
\chapter{Hello}
Some text
\stoptext
This example works fine with MKII and with the texlive 2012 version of MKIV
(ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.30 11:26). It fails with the last beta (2013.01.24 16:47
MKIV) and also with 2012.11.22 14:55 MKIV.
I tried \setuphead[chapter][alternative=command,command=\ChapterHead]
and \startchapter ... \stopchapter
but still get the same error.
You will find below the content of the log file produced by my minimal example.
Thanks for your help.
