Thank you, the problems have been solved and everything is now working on all three systems. I don't know why the figure-reference problem also disappeared after changing from \inmarge to \inmargin, but I will not try to find out ... When looking at the threads in this user group and also sometimes at the answers to my questions, I realise that I should know something about the structure of the system behind ConTeXt. Therefore this general question: at the beginning of the context manual, 3 books on TeX are being recommended. But we are also assured that we don't need them for using ConTeXt (unless we want to program). Would the beginner's book help in understanding the structure of the whole system? Or is it all about how to write in TeX instead of ConTeXt, and therefore a waste of time (for me, at least)? On May 9, 2005, at 4:11 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Hi Taco,
1. \inmarge figures can't be handled. Instead they appear in the text. This is an example from the log file: ! Undefined control sequence. l.35 \inmarge {\externalfigure[8pyruvate_lab]}
The command is called \inmargin (at least in the english interface). I was following the manual ("Context - an excursion") where \inmarge is used with marginal figures. I thought that was the command to use, and it works on my computer here. I am using \inmargin with text; does what you are saying mean the two commands do the same?
\inmarge is dutch for \inmargin, and it should have been replaced in the 'excursion" when ConTeXt switched to low-level english commands last year. So yes, they are the same, but if you are not using the dutch interface explicitly, then \inmarge will only work in old ConTeXt-s.
