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.

Looks like a typo. A

is missing on line 15

he should better remove the first { on line 15

A few alternatives for his \midaligned commands:

\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]
\startlines
{\tfd Just a test}
{\it an excerpt}
by
Nobody
\stoplines
\stopstandardmakeup

\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]
{\tfd Just a test}\par
{\it an excerpt}\par
by\par
Nobody
\stopstandardmakeup

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks for the suggestions! Makes a lot more sense that way.
