[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I uploaded a beta. This weeks undocumented feature:

\starttext

test \placefigure{}{}
test \placefigure[somewhere:alpha][whatever]{}{}
test \placefigure[somewhere:beta] [whatever]{}{}
test \placefigure[somewhere:gamma][whatever]{}{}
test \placefigure[somewhere:delta][whatever]{}{}
test \placefigure{}{}

in \in{figure}[whatever] bla bla

\placenamedfloat[figure][*l*]

\placenamedfloat[figure][gamma]
\placenamedfloat[figure][beta]

\stoptext

Experimental of course. Alan and I are discussing up some more clever 
mechanisms (follow up on conference chats) but this will probably stay.

Hans

Hi everyone,

I suggest a new game:
Each week we hold a sort of treasure hunt to try to detect
that week's new undocumented feature.

(Of course, Wolfgang will not be allowed to participate
in order to make it somewhat of a fair contest. ;-)

The first prize will be an invitation to write a
new section in the manual; The runners-up will be
invited to give a talk at the next ConTeXt conference.

Alan

P.S. I am not going to be playing, as I can hardly keep up with reading
the mailing list, let alone downloading so regularly the new beta.

That's a crappy prize. The reverse will work better : all
contestants except the winner and runner up *have* to write
a new section in the manual and the winner does not have to
give a talk ...

How about a DocuWare license? To use ConTeXt, each month you have to enter 
a key. To obtain the key you must write or edit one section of the manual.
