Thank you. What exactly was the reason to disable the old syntax? Why not maybe defining it to give at least a warning (or even error) printing out a message saying what to do. It is a bit weird to see the code compile fine without ever noticing that something went wrong.
there are a few more primitives disabled (and an overload with message is no option as there is no way to intercept the parser) reasons: more consistency, less error prone, better tracing etc
Is there any chance that a single command would be provided that would work both in mkii and mkiv (in mkii it would call \synctex=1 and in mkiv it would call \enabledirectives[system,synctex])?
^ period ! i'm not going to bother about mkii in this respect, in mkiv we move away from variables in favor of directives, trackers and experiments Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
