Hi,

Firstly this is my first post :) (and it's going to be long), i've been 
using context for about a week or two and it's wonderful i like 
particularly like the approach of having everything built into the core. 
Just for reference i'm running fedora 9 64bit with texlive and i'm also new 
to TeX meaning that i've never bothered to study LaTeX thoroughly (as i was 
mainly concerned about just getting my content straight) and redefining 
macros was highly annoying, but things have changed now.

Anyhow enough ranting i've got a few questions to ask.

1.  CONTEXT, an excursion
		general/manuals/mp-cb-en.pdfgeneral/manuals/ms-cb-en.pdf

	The Manual
		general/manuals/cont-enp.pdfgeneral/manuals/cont-eni.pdf
	
	It's in the details
		general/manuals/details.pdf


	i) when are the manuals going to be updated?
         ii) details.pdf looks very interesting, i assume it's not finished 
right? any status info?

2.  CONTEXT MkII & MkIV
	general/manuals/mk.pdf

         i've slightly confused as to what LuaTeX is, could someone please 
explain it. from what i've gathered it seems like it supports the use of 
OpenType fonts natively like XeTex and it's going to be merged into pdfTeX?

3.  Fonts
	general/manuals/mfonts.pdf and general/manuals/mtexfont.pdf

         Is is worth reading these manual since LuaTeX---as i've 
understood---is going to support them natively and i'm never going to have 
to install fonts again?

4.  Typographic Programming
	general/manuals/style.pdf

         Any idea when the final release of this document is due, i'd like 
to make a print out.

5. Is there a book on ConTeXt, that is available for purchase from 
somewhere like amazon. if not does anyone know of a good (and cheap) 
printshop in London? I'd like to print out the manuals.

6. I forgot to ask, is there anything written about bibliography support? 
preferably through BibTeX.

Thanks alot and great work

Hi,

this is a rather long mail, but I'll add the answers to the wiki.

For the future: Should I write one mail per question or all in one? :)

1. Color of references and table of content:
How can I define/change the colors of references and the table of content? And
why are some references red and others green?


2. Own title format
I've set an own title format for chapters, like described in the wiki. 
Unfortunately this applies to the table of contents and bibliography as well.
Below a minimal example, that reproduces it:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]

\define[2]\MyChapter{\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on]
        {\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}}

\setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapter, style={\switchtobodyfont[24pt,ss]}, header=empty, page=mychapterpagebreak]
\setupheadtext[chapter=Chapter, content=Table of Contents]

\starttext
\completecontent
\page[yes]

\startchapter[title=foo]

\stoptext
```
How can I prevent the printing of "Chapter" in the table of contents and
bibliography?


3. Text size in t-vim
I've defined a smaller text size in t-vim, but this seems to affect \inline... 
as well. Is there a way to circumvent this?

Minimal example:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]

\usemodule[t-vim]
\definevimtyping[python][syntax=python,
                         style={\switchtobodyfont[8pt,tt]},]
\starttext
\startpython
	for line in foo:
		print(line)
\stoppython
This is keyword \inlinepython{in} Python.
\stoptext
```


4. Captions of combinations
The wiki shows, how to completely autolabel figures in a combination with mkiv.
Is there a way to simply prefix the label with a), b), c),...?

Another related question: Is there a way to define the width and align of the 
labels of a combination?


5. Numbering of floats
I want a numbering for my figures in this format:
way=bychapter, prefixsegments=chapter

I guess, this is the default, but I've explicitly set it.
In some captions the prefix is ignored. For example there are 5 figures in 
chapter 2, then the captions of the figures (the text is in German) are:
Abbildung 2.1   foo
Abbildung 2.2   bar
Abbildung 3    foobar
Abbildung 4    otherfoo
Abbildung 5    lastfoo

Is there anything, I can do, to prevent this?


6. Multiple references
I want to create the same footnote on multiple locations in the text. 
Therefore I used:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext
This\footnote[letter-s]{"s" is a letter.} is\note[letter-s] a nons\note[letter-s]ens\note[letter-s]e text.
\stoptext

```
But this uses different fonts for the number in the text. Is there a way to fix 
this or do it better?
