Re: [NTG-context] \setuphead question (long section lines not wrapping)
Re your question about the section numbering with a dot: This is
nothing I found out, but something Hans (who else?) posted to the list
a while ago, and I believe it does what you want to achieve:
\setuplabeltext[section={{},{.}}]

No, it's not complex at all, and the answer ended up being trivial. The
\thanks command is essentially a footnote to be used in the title portion
of an article (or book, etc.) -- the big problem I was having was that the
footnote mark was appearing fine, but the footnote text was nowhere to be
found -- this was solved once I found the essentially hiden \footnotetext
command and used that to place the text where I wanted it. After that, I
needed to figure out how to reset the footnote counter (which was a pretty
minor problem to solve).

That's not doing what I need. What I need is for the section headings in
the text of the article to look like {section number}. {section title} --
I was able to insert the . between the number and the title easily
enough, but my solution turned off line wrapping for the title. I've
attached an example that shows both what I am trying to do, and how my
solution fails (on page 2 of the accompanying dvi).
\setuplabeltext[en][section={{},{.}},subsection={{},{.}}]
should do that; i don't know why it does not break in your case

[NTG-context] \setuphead question (long section lines not wrapping)
I'm trying to layout a paper for a conference that requires a format
different from the standard latex layout, and for the most part context
has been making this quite easy on me (excluding the four hours I spent
trying to mimic the latex \thanks{} construct), however, I've encoutered a
new problem that's confusing me. since I'm sure the problem stems from my
lack of plain tex and context knowledge, I figured someone here would know
what I'm doing wrong, and asking you for help is certainly more pleasant
than banging my head for another four hours only to find another trivial
solution...
My problem is this: I needed to place a . after the number in the
section and subsection headings, so I included the following in my
preamble:
% setup section headings to include a . after the section number
\setuphead
[section]
[command=\mysec,
indentnext=yes]
\def\mysec#1#2{#1. #2}
\setuphead
[subsection]
[command=\mysubsec,
indentnext=yes]
\def\mysubsec#1#2{#1. #2}
This works just fine as far as inserting the ., however, it has the
side-effect of not wrapping long section of subsection headings. For
example, \subsection[longsubsec]{This is a really long subsection heading
that won't wrap} gets typeset all on a single line, which is not good
since the paper is set in two columns...
So, is there either a better (more proper) way to insert the ., or at
least a better command to use for \mysec and \mysubsec
Thanks,
William D. Neumann

Well I could be a genius, if I just put my mind to it.
And I...I could do anything, if only I could get 'round to it.
Oh we were brought up on the space-race, now they expect you to clean toilets.
When you've seen how big the world is, how can you make do with this?
If you want me, I'll be sleeping in - sleeping in throughout these glory days.
