I did some experimenting with calltips about a year ago... it took me a  
while to figure it out though...

In context.xml I implemented only one:

		<KeyWord name="startitemize" func="yes">
			<Overload retVal="" >
				<Param name="[.1.] n a A KA r R KR m g G -number- each" />
			</Overload>		
			<Overload retVal="" >
				<Param name="[..,.2.,..] standard -n-*broad -n-*serried packed  
unpacked stopper joinedup atmargin inmargin autointro loose section  
intext"/>
			</Overload>		
			<Overload retVal="" >
				<Param name="margin = no standard -dimension-" />
			</Overload>			
		</KeyWord>


It used to work, in my present Npp 5.5.1 it seems broken; even cpp  
calltips don't work -- although normal autocompletion works fine. Does  
this one calltip work for you? What version of Npp are you running?

In any case, it will be a major task to fill out all calltips for  
context.xml, unless there is a minimally structured source file for all  
context command options that can be sorted by text-processing [beyond my  
skill set].

Best wishes
Idris
