Hi all,
[3] Is there a way to globally declare an externalfigure from inside a group? So that in the following example, the second reference to “kuh” succeeds.
···8<···························································· \starttext
\bgroup \useexternalfigure[kuh][cow]
\startglobal \useexternalfigure[kuh][cow] \stopglobal
Thanks a lot, this works like a charm. Too bad I already wrote a workaround …
Which?
My-code specific and Lua-based. Cost me a couple of function calls but I managed to get the extfig declared outside the group.
As Hans wrote \startglobal can result in unwanted side effects.
I guess I’ll investigate those later and stick to my code just now. Best regards, Philipp
Wolfgang
