Re: [NTG-context] Project, product, component...

Hello, as no new answer so far, I started to experiment. It seems that [at least] component id(s) cannot be omitted: ---- Prod.mkiv \startproduct % PPP \component Comp.mkiv Product \stopproduct ---- And: ---- Comp.mkiv \startcomponent % CCC %\product Prod %\project Proj Component \stopcomponent ---- - Gives a wrong product, as Prod.pdf doesn't include the component. Another test: ---- Prod.mkiv \startproduct _ % PPP \component Comp.mkiv \component Comp2.mkiv Product \stopproduct ---- And: ---- Comp.mkiv \startcomponent _ % CCC Component \stopcomponent ---- ---- Comp2.mkiv \startcomponent _ % CCC Component2 \stopcomponent ---- Gives a good result. So it seems that [at least some] ids are required, and just not-to-be-empty. I tested the case when all product/component ids were the same, i.e. "_", as a dummy value. As later the ids are referred nowhere, it seems that they are necessary just due to syntactical rules. Or - ? Lukas On Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:01:52 +0100, Marco wrote:

Project structure use quite often, but yet similar question not occurred to me.

It's a very interesting question, I was asking myself the same and I'm curious about the answer. The ConTeXt magazine #1101 - Project Structure¹ is reserved about this topic and simply states:

“The names given after the start command are not that important…”

...

I had always previously PPP and CCC as existing filenames on the disk.

I always used filenames, too.

...

But I would like to extend Luke's question on this issue: You can load an existing component to other components?

The ConTeXt magazine #1101 includes a table of the possible combinations of the commands. From this table I conclude that components are allowed between:

∙ \starttext \stoptext ∙ \startcomponent \stopcomponent ∙ \startproduct \stopproduct
