Hello, what is the difference between a module and an environment? What are the guidelines to decide where to put some code? TIA for any hints, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

In my opinion, environments are closely tied in with specific products/publications. Modules are where you would put code that is usable in a much wider range of documents, perhaps even by people you have not met before. :-) Greetings. Taco

Alright. So, if I understand it right, there is no technical difference. Thanks, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
Hi Wolfgang, I would say, that a module makes part of the ConTeXt package e.g. m-chart.tex or m-units.tex. There are also third-party modules which start then with t- e.g. t-lettri.tex. An environment is a file containing layout-instructions belonging to a certain project or a personal environment which is loaded at starting up. Willi Peter Münster wrote:
