Hi Taco & Patrick, Attached is version of ctxtools that provides ctxtools --dependencies it takes the context.tex file and analyzes in the order of loading what macros are defined (we can probably throw away the names that match \\.[!?@]) by default i generate an xml file; taco suggested that maybe patrick can use this file as a prelude to an api interface (crosslinking sources) when i have time i will use this analysis to check dependencies in the loading order (i'm sure that some forward referencing has crept in, if only because of splitting files) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
