Dear all, With recent standalones (jan. 7, jan. 29 and march 2) I am experiencing trouble processing .tex-files that gave no problems in november (14-11). For instance, when processing with "ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.02 18:19 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.7 int: english/english", the log file gives the following information: ------------------------------------------------------------------- ! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: invalid escape sequence near '\s'. system > tex > error on line 47 in file Chapter_4_S2MyBq-02-03-example.tex: LuaTeX error ... ------------------------------------------------------------------- and further on: ----------------------------------------------------------------- 45 \placeexample[here][ZarlConsCh38p188tot]{Zarlino\index[Zarlino]{Zarlino, Gioseffo}, Consonances ch.38, p.188} 46 {\startcombination[1*2] 47 >> {\externalfigure[ZarlConsCh38p188fa]}{facsimile} 48 {\externalfigure[ZarlConsCh38p188fi]}{transcription} 49 \stopcombination} ---------------------------------------- The processing stops at line 47. The log-file's last words are: "<inserted text> ...number \foundexternalfigure ; }" I have no clue as to what to do with that information. Just for the sake of completeness: In the setupfile "example" is defined: \definefloat[example][examples] \setupcaption[example][way=bychapter,prefix=yes,prefixsegments=chapter,location=top,number=yes,inbetween=\blank,bodyfont=10pt] \setuplabeltext[en][Example=Ex. ] As said, "ConTeXt ver: 2012.11.14 11:37 MKIV fmt: 2012.11.15 int: english/english" gives no problem at all. Also, \placetable[here][tab:ref]{caption}} does not seem to trigger problems in recent versions. Has something been changed in the commands for placing external figures since november? What would I have to change, either in the setup or in the commands for placing the example? Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone
