A clarification because a backchannel note made me suspect this question might be taken the wrong way: it isn't intended to imply a criticism... I'm just making sure I'm using the most recent resources! c -- Chris Lott <chris@chrislott.org> ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Mkiv is still changing, and sometime things stop working (mkiv is not frozen as mkii, so it's better to keep around the last working beta), but my ten year experience says that the user interface doesn't vary so much (at least I've not found revolutions on this side); if you are programming at the macro level the ultimate reference is the source, which is quite readable --- well, much more than a Latex packages, but it's my opinion. And on this side mkiv is, if not a revolution, at least a strong evolution. -- luigi [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 2249 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 485 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Thanks. Perhaps the backward compatibility was eventually removed for setupfootnote! At any rate, what appears to be a bug reported in my other message stands since I am pretty sure I am using the latest syntax. c -- Chris Lott <chris@chrislott.org> ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
