I recently had a problem where \testpage was misbehaving while \testpagesyncronized worked correctly. The example above is another situation where syncronization solves the problem.
Does syncronization have any drawbacks (other than speed)? If not, then what is the overhead of "synchronizing everything"? ConTeXt is quite fast, and I for one, wouldn't mind a few mili second delay in each compilation for saving a few hours of debugging time! normally i can deal with the speed (in this case it's probably not measurable) and normally i manage to add features without much of a
that is actually more tricky as trying toi sync the page buildern (and spacing) is rather sensitive penalty (of course sometimes it can mean hours of programming and testing) ... speaking of speed, probably no one notices when context becomes faster (mkiv definitely has not become slower over the years) unless the fact that no one complains is a good sign concerning syncing each time ... i can think of it but it needs an extra set of state variables per head then (and probbaly a way to turn that trickery off) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
