Hi all. Just a quick note regarding "silentness" in Context. I have on two occasions had problems with silent errors: 1) When using the bib module and putting spaces between citation variables and their value. For example, doing: \startpublication[k = ArcticCorsairTrawling, t = misc] instead of \startpublication[k=ArcticCorsairTrawling, t=misc] 2) When trying to define an abstract command: \definestartstop [abstract] [before={\midaligned{\bf Abstract} \startnarrower[2*middle]}, after={\stopnarrower \blank[big]}] In this case the command was defined when I used "...before = ..." but did not alter the text in any way. So after all this rambling I have two questions: 1) Is this silent mode intended? 2) Is whitespace not allowed before or after when defining with or using the "=" sign?

Hi,
when I try
texmfstart whatever
nothing happens. Shouldn't a warning or an error be given to say that texmfstart could not find 'whatever'. This will make it easier to detect typos while trying out commands by hand.
I do get such a message when using texmfstart --verbose whatever, but I think that such a behaviour should be default.
Hans, is it reasonable to define a method report_error(str) in
class KpseRemote def report_error(str) $stderr.puts(str) end end
and modify line 2110 of texmfstart.rb to
def run(fullname) if ! fullname || fullname.empty? then %%% report("the file '#{$filename}' is not found") report_error("the file '#{$filename}' is not found") .....
Maybe there are other places also where an error report will be useful.
