[NTG-context] Caption on the right side of a figure

2008-08-15 Thread Flavien Lambert
Dear all, I try - as indicated in the title - to put the caption of a figure on its right side. I used (among other attempts) \setupcaptions[location=high] and \setupfloat[figure][location=left] but the figure is still on the right side. Can you give me the good options for inverting captions and

By the way, is there a manual or a command to see all the options available for a given command ? In contextgarden, the texshow-web does not have the location=right option for the \setupcaptions command for example. Thanks. 2008/8/15 Flavien Lambert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Perfect and so

[NTG-context] AUCTeX issues not necessarily ConTeXt-related

2008-08-15 Thread Charles P. Schaum
A while ago I mentioned a ``Problems after [n] pages'' issue in AUCTeX when using ConTeXt with it. Recently I used LaTeX and, hey presto, I was able to reproduce the same message. I ran LaTeX, then re-ran it to get the references right. I then ran it again and got a ``Problems after [0] pages''

[NTG-context] Some Arabic ligatures get rendered twice

Some Arabic ligatures get rendered twice, I think this happens when a ligature can be divided into subligatures, say ABC ligature where the font has an AB ligature, in this case A+B+C get rendered as ABC+AB. See the attached example. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and

Thanks, Taco. After installing ConTeXt 2008-08-04, I have cont-en.fmt in texmf-var/web2c/pdftex and texmf-var/web2c/xetex Installing ConTeXt 2008-08-15 has the same files in the same places, though I gather that it replaces cont-en.fmt in texmf-var/web2c/pdftex with as TeXExec | tex:
