Has something changed recently on how product-component structure is supposed to be used? I have three files:
1. prd.tex
\environment env
\startproduct prd
\component cmp
\stopproduct
2. env.tex
\startenvironment env
\define\testing{This is a test}
\stopenvironment
3. cmp.tex
\product prd
\startcomponent cmp
Testing \testing
\stopcomponent
When I compile cmp.tex, I get:
%--------------------------%<----------------------------- […] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1% %--------------------------%<-----------------------------
Shouldn't the product file not load the component file (or anything else inside \startproduct .. \stopproduct) when compiling a component?
The product file loads the component but this isn’t what you’re doing. You process the component which doesn’t load product file because this would end in a loop because the product would then again load the component etc. Add “\environment env” at the begin of your component file and the problem disappears. Since environment files are loaded only once it doesn’t matter when the line is in each component file. Wolfgang
