Some questions

[Alain Delmotte <alain.delmotte@leliseron.org>]

  Hi,

  Now some questions to solve the problems I have when I try 
to follow the "tutorial" "ConTeXt an excursion".
  I think it is for mkII and I use mkIV and that there has 
been many changes in between.

  - The example at the bottom of page 11 and page 12 gives 
me an error:
  ! Argument of \head has an extra }.

system          > tex > error on line 52 in file 
travail.tex: Argument of  ...

42     Hasselt lies in the province of Overijssel and there 
are a number of customs that are typical of this province.
43     \startitemize
44     \head kraamschudden \hfill (child welcoming)
45     When a child is born the neighbours come to visit the 
new parents. The women come to admire the baby and the men 
come to judge the baby (if it is a boy) if he will become a 
strong man.
46     The neighbours will bring a {\em krentenwegge} along. 
A krentenwegge is a loaf of currant bread of about 1 \Meter\ 
long. Of course the birth is celebrated with {\em jenever}.
47     \head nabuurschap (naberschop) \hfill (neighbourship)
48     Smaller communities used to be very dependent on the 
cooperation among the members for their well being. Members 
of the {\em nabuurschap} helped each other in difficult 
times during harvest times, funerals or any hardship that 
fell upon the community.
49     \head Abraham \& Sarah  \hfill (identical)
50     When people turn 50 in Hasselt it is said that they 
see Abraham or Sarah. The custom is to give these people a 
{\em speculaas} Abraham or a Sarah. Speculaas is a kind of 
hard spiced biscuit.

- The tables pages 30-31-32-35 are not at the right position 
on the page, mostly they are to the right and not centered.

- The chemical formulae give an error (pages 37-38), but 
I'll come back to that later on, but what is the manual 
about it?

- The boxes on page 45, second example are not at the right 
position, particularly the second is on the same line as the 
first.

{\inframed[width=fit]{People in Hasselt}}

{\inframed[height=1.5cm,frame=off]{have a}}
\rightaligned
{\inframed[background=screen]{historic background}}

What are the up todate manuals for MkIV?

OK It's enough bothering you for the moment.

Thanks in advance,

Alain Delmotte
