[NTG-context] Editor's Symbols?
Hi all, I'm pretty much a new user to ConTeXt and actually any form of TeX, so forgive me if my question sounds ignorant. Is there any way to format editor's symbols (like those used for demonstration in grammatical textbooks) in a block of text using ConTeXt or LaTeX (preferably with the former)? If not, then does anyone know how I might do this some other way besides actually writing it out by hand? Thanks for your help! Alex __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [NTG-context] Editor's Symbols?
Here's an example: http://www.colorado.edu/Publications/styleguide/symbols.html I've seen these printed (not handwritten) in grammar guides, so I was wondering if formatting them with TeX was possible at all.

Re: [NTG-context] Fixing/Updating ConTeXt
Thomas, Better yet that it's only one step! Many thanks. ConTeXt appears to be functioning normally again, but now my only problem is with XeTeX... for some reason when I try to typeset files using it I get: FatalError: Your format does not match the base files! What went wrong here? Or should I ask this elsewhere? Thanks again, Alex - Original Message From: Thomas A.

Re: [NTG-context] Fixing/Updating ConTeXt
Hans, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and then tested: texexec --xtx sample_file but I still got the error. Is there a way to overwrite/update the installation as I did with ConTeXt? If worse comes to worst, I'll look into reinstalling XeTeX... Thanks again for the help!

Re: [NTG-context] \setupheader: leftstyle rightstyle
Hi,
Hope this isn't hijacking the thread, but I have a quick question related to
this and I'd thought I'd post it here instead of starting a whole new topic
about something similar. How do you center headers? I know that if you just use
one header, it's automatically centered, but if you use alternating headers,
they're left/right aligned by default... right?
So far I have a two-page spread set up so that the chapter appears on the right
header and the title of the text on the left, but neither are centered. Do I
use \midaligned, or am I on the wrong track?
Thanks.

\setupheader: leftstyle rightstyle
On 7/22/07, Matt Gushee wrote:
Hi, all--
I would like to use different styles for left and right headers in a
book: I would like to set the left side (which shows the book title) in
small caps, and the right side (chapter title) in italics.
\setupheader[style=\sc]
works fine. So does
\setupheader[style=\it]
But
\setupheader[leftstyle=\sc,rightstyle=\it]
Doesn't work. Both headers appear in the (medium-weight roman) body
font. Any idea why this is the case?
I usually use something like
\setuppagenumbering
[alternative=doublesided,location=bottom]
\setupheadertexts
[\sc Book Title][]
[][{\it
(\getmarking[chapter][current])}]
However, there seems to be a little bug. This works perfectly well for
section (\getmarking[section]), but for chapter the chapter labels
seem to be erased after the first appearance.
leftstyle= might also require implementation of
- style of the left label on left page
- style of the middle label on the left page
- style of the right labale on the left page
- all the three styles again on the right page, the same 6 for footer

[NTG-context] Weird Problem
Hi all, I'm a complete newbie to ConTeXt (aka recent convert from a GUI world and WYSIWYG typesetting), so please forgive my ignorance. :) I'm having some problems typesetting a simple practice document that used to compile fine before. Recently, after modifying part of the text (not the code, which to the best of my knowledge appears correct, since I haven't encountered any errors), I can no longer see the title page, page numbers or headers, and paragraphs don't indent as they used to, when they did before. Again, I didn't change any of the code, at least AFAIK. Is this a bug, or just user error? Do I need to update ConTeXt? If so, how? (if you could, please provide step-by-step directions, as I'm a beginner to the command-line interface as well, I'm afraid). I'm running the Jan 2007 version of ConTeXt bundled with the MacTeX 2007 distribution on Mac OS 10.4.10. I've also provided the sample document for reference, in case that helps. A prompt response would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
