The only things which are posted on the developer list nowadays are bug reports with possible fixes or extensions to the context programing language.
Thanks. I am removing dev-context from the CC.
Should the "\project project_file" line be placed before the "\startcomponent"? Like this:
\project project_file \startcomponent component_name
If that's the recommended way, I can update http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure
You can do this. It’s always better to make the setup of the document before \starttext, startcomponent etc. because some values are set/reset with \starttext.
Alas, this order seems to trigger bug, which is that if the \project line comes first, then the component file is not compiled. Minimal example (mytest2.tex): \project testproject \startcomponent mytest2 \input knuth \stopcomponent testproject.tex is \startproject testproject \stopproject Then "context mytest2" doesn't ship any pdf pages. Below is the log file. (It works fine with the first two lines in mytest2.tex reversed.)
