No, I meant with \setupheads[style=bold] you can change the font of each heading and with \setuphead[section][style=italic] you change only the font for section. As you can see we have a plural and a singular form of the command. With the new system to generate the setup commands we have only \setuphead which handles bot cases. >> For backward >> compatibility you can find things like this: \let\setupnotes\setupnote > > OK, but is this a good idea? > I thought that mkii is kept around for backward compatibility > and that mkiv takes the liberty to rationalize the syntax, > sometimes sacrificing backwards compatibility in order not to be > encumbered with inconsistent syntax, whenever possible. > > Indeed, this sometimes generates much discussion on the mailing list > when we discover that our favorite command has been removed > or renamed - a good way of testing to see if we are active and alert. :) It’s better to promote the new commands but we should take time until the old variants vanish because we have to get used to them.

I thought that mkii is kept around for backward compatibility and that mkiv takes the liberty to rationalize the syntax, sometimes sacrificing backwards compatibility in order not to be encumbered with inconsistent syntax, whenever possible.

1. The \setupnotedefinition was replaced with \setupnotation
2. Many of the \define… and \setup… commands are now auto generated
from \installcommandhandler which generates only one setup-command
which can be used for global (i.e. \setup…[..,..=..,..]) and local
(i.e. \setup…[…][..,..=..,..]) settings. For backward compatibility you
can find things like this: \let\setupnotes\setupnote
3. The argument are same as before (with a few changes)

Large parts of the code have been rewritten and the next key wasn’t added yet.

Many thanks for the reply, Wolfgang.
I know you weren't replying a question of mine, but reading the code
itself I solved some issues I had with linenotes and I found a bug
(which I report on a different thread).
Reading the code seemed counterproductive to me, but it seems to be one
of the best methods to learn from ConTeXt.
Thanks again,
Pablo

Footnotes are not yet fixed (due to Hans' flue ...)
So it is probably in vain trying to make sense of the current state of the
footnote mechanism.

Looking at strc-not.mkvi and from your explanations above
it is still not clear to me how to use the new footnote definitions.
We have \setupnotedefinition
(with \setupfootnotedefinition=\setupnotedefinition[footnote]),
\setupnote (with \setupfootnotes=\setupnote[footnote]),
also \setupnotes (=\setupnote ?)
Is there any difference between the singular and the plural forms?
Also, what parameters are accepted? (I see "% not all make sense here"
in strc-not.mkvi)
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes seems confused (ToDo).
In particular, I am still trying to get
"next=\autoinsertnextspace"
to make \startfootnote\stopfootnote work correctly...

The command \setupnotedefinition (where \setupfootnotedefinition is a shortcut
for \setupnotedefinition[footnote]) is now \setupnotation and
“location=serried” is now “alternative=serried”. The \setupnote command
(\setupfootnotes is \setupnote[footnote]) has only a “bodyfont” key which
accepts “{8pt,sans}” as argument but not “bodyfontsize” key and style is only
available for \setupnotation (but as you saw you can add it to bodyfont).

[NTG-context] footnotes setup
Hi, I have installed the last standalone version from contextgarden and oops, my (few days) old file does not work properly. My "old" setup of footnotes was like: \setupfootnotedefinition[loaction=page...] \setupfootnotes[bodyfontsize=8pt, style=\ss...] Now the context does not understand to that. So I am trying to set up footnotes with \setupnote[footnote] but it seems nothing works. I am not able to use location=serried, location=page, style and so on... Is it connected with some general update? :o( Thanks, Honza ___ 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 ___
