Two questions on Context

Two questions on Context

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Dear friends,

let me ask these simple questions:

1) Is \em just a font switch, or is it macro? I.e. is it necessary to
    write `{\em some text\/}' or is sufficient to write `{\em some
text}'?

2) How can I find what hyphenation pattern is currently used?

Many thanks,

M.K.

{\em test {\em test {\bf test \em test}}}

the \/ is supposed to be done automatically, \em is a macro

Two questions on ConText

[Roelof Langman]

Hi,

I'm using Context to typeset a book. As I use the Lucida fonts, I have 

\usetypescript[lucida][texnansi]
\switchtobodyfont[lucida, 10pt]
\stelhoofdstekstenin[onderwerp][paginanummer][book title]

Unfortunately, if the "onderwerp" contains extended characters, they are not
shown in the header text. Can this be done, and if so, how can I do it?

In my file ,,boek.tex'', I have line saying ,,\plaatsinhoud'' (I use
\onderwerp for my chapters, and \subonderwerp for my subchapters). The
command \plaatsinhoud doesn't result in a table of contents being produced
(my silent hope). Can I get a table of contents? How?

Thanks!

I suppose you should say \setupbodyfont[lucida,10pt] instead of 
\switchtobodyfont. You can use \switchtobodyfont inside your document if 
you have to change e.g. from 10pts to 12pts or from rm to ss etc.

Try adding \plaatsinhoud[criterium=onderwerp]

Hi Willy,

Thanks! Using \setupbodyfont solves my first problem.

Unfortunately, using \plaatsinhoud[criterium=onderwerp] does not solve my
second problem. No table of contents is generated.

Cheers! Roelof
