Hi,
I noticed that each time I recompile a document using randomized the result is the same, so presumably the random seed is also the same. I guess this is intentional. My questions are: * Does the random seed value depend on a checksum of the tex file or something like this? Hi,
it's derived from system time and stored in the *.tuc-file (see definition of \setuprandomize). As long as this file is not rewritten, you get the same random seed.
* How to change it (e.g., to make it depend on the compile time or whatever)?
Something like (untested) \setuprandomize[\normaltime] I guess a call after \starttext will do.
