Hans,
Your reply below was very helpful. I looked at the context command line
options and saw 'make'. After running this, the code changes took effect.
Thankyou.
I could still use help in identifying where equation numbers are defined in
the code so that I can add a tracker. Do you have a suggestion of which
function (or at least lua file) I should look in for this?
I am also curious how hooks are defined, so that I can identify them in the
code and see if there is one that would meek my purpose - also where the
hook scripts are placed so that context can find them.
Thanks again for the reply which got me over the first hurdle.
-Lance

I have a version of context standalone installed, and I am trying to add some functionality I need to strc-ref.lua. As a simple test to see if modifying the file was working, I enabled the ?structures.referencing.identifying? tracker and verified that I was getting messages from this tracker in the log. I then modified the log statement in strc-ref.lua and processed the document again. The changes I made to the lua file did not seem to be active. I verified that there is only one log statement that matches the output I am seeing. Why would my lua code change not be active? Is the lua code cached somehow? (I am running this from windows if that matters).
The code I modified is under the path:
context\tex\texmf-context\tex\context\base\ strc-ref.lua
if you patch files that way you need to remake the format file I don't know what you patch, but changing something in a core file is no guarantee for the future. It's not a problem to add functionality (lots of hooks for that) but best do that in a local module that gets loaded at runtime then.
