That does the trick.

ConTeXt, hyphenation
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

I've upgraded to the most recent version of ConTeXt now. I try to set Norwegian hyphenation by saying \language[no] \setuplanguage[no] however, as opposed to in the previous version, there are no hyphenations at all. I wonder if it is to do with the pattern file used – how do I set that? and how can I make sure that the correct patterns are used? -- Rolf Lindgren roffe(a)extern.uio.no

Thanks. I am now using section blocks to create meta-sections, so that inside the body-matter sections have no numbers whilst the appendices do. It works great. One minor problem though. I need the appendices to have labels, like: Appendix I, etc.. \setuplabeltext[appendix=Appendix] does not work in this situation what is the correct way of doing it? Thanks, Elliot

debian context updates
by Norbert Preining 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi all! I have uploadedanother repetition, this time with new package splitting: package context: all the normal stuff as before package context-nonfree currently only the cowfonts package context-doc-nonfree all the pdf documentation from below, plus style.pdf and details.pdf which Hans suggested. So the context package has changed as it now suggests both context-nonfree and context-doc-nonfree. The tarball for context-nonfree has changed, as it only contains the cowfonts. And context-doc-nonfree is new.

Hi all! New context and context-nonfree based on 2007.01.02 release are on the TUG server. I will leave the current versions available in the Debian NEW queue and hope that the pass. After the inclusion I will upload new packages (which don't have to go through the NEW queue).

A couple of questions on heads.
by Elliot Clifton 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi, I'm still a relative newbie. I enjoy using ConTeXt and have achieved some great results with it, but some issues still trip me up. I'm typesetting a journal. I use \chapter to divide it into articles. I've defined my own heads, and I need to redefine \appendix, however despite reading the manual I cant get them behave as I want. Problems: 1. Each article may have appendices. I've tried defining my own 'appendix' head to replace the default one, but I can't decide which to use, should I derive from chapter or section? The problem with using section as the base, is that the count from my previous sections is inherited. I don't want numbers of the form 1.1, 1.2, etc, either. I want to number my appendices independently, starting from 1 without the chapter number. Also, I would like to use roman numerals. 2. I derived \Author from \section with expectation that \setupheadertexts[Papertitle][Author] would yield a header containing the author's name and the paper's title, however I get the title of the most recent section instead of the author. What can I do about this? thanks, Elliot

Manual (English) Update soon?
by Douglas Philips 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Hello again, I've just recently tried to "get up to speed" on ConTeXt by reading what I could find on the web, including cont-eni.pdf (ConTeXt the manual by Hans Hagen, November 12th, 2001). Recent activity on this list, discussing the Debian packaging, says (and I commented on this a few days ago in another thread): "ConTeXt is developed rapidly, often in response to requests from the friendly user community." And so I am wondering if ConTeXt is still too fresh... and if I'll have any chance of figuring out what/how to use it without having been on this list for the past 4+ years... (IIRC, Hans is also a core team member of LuaTeX, so perhaps I should just suck it up with LaTeX until LuaTeX is viable?) Advice, comments, etc. appreciated... --Doug
