ConTeXt Command Differences between Tex Live and Minimals
In general, where do I look to resolve differences between ConTeXt commands which work using the Tex Live distribution, but which do not work using the Minimals distribution. I am thinking of switching to the Minimals distribution since I can keep it more current, and it appears to resolve a problem hyphenating URLs which contain multiple, adjacent hyphens. Specifically, the command "\inothermargin" is not recognized when using the Minimals distribution. While I would appreciate a solution to this issue, I would very much appreciate knowing where to look to resolve the issue myself. I have consulted the most recent documentation, and searched the ConTeXt wiki. Tex Live Distribution reports: MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.2-2010071217 (TeX Live 2010) (rev 3736) Minimals Distribution reports: mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051923 (rev 4277)

I'm afraid that the only option is to compare the sources (tex/gereric/context/base). (It is not very common that newer version doesn't support an older command though, while the reverse is often true.)

You can install TeX Live 2011 if you want to use a more recent version of ConTeXt. http://www.tug.org/texlive/pretest.html Mojca
Perfect, I can compare sources...here's what I find: == Tex Live Distribution == MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.2-2010071217 (TeX Live 2010) (rev 3736) # cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base # grep inothermargin * page-mar.mkii:\def\inothermargin{\inother} == Minimals Distribution == mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051923 (rev 4277) # cd /opt/context-current/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base # grep inothermargin * page-mar.mkii:\def\inothermargin{\inother} So it appears that the command "\inothermargin" is defined in both distributions. However... \starttext \inothermargin{donald}\input knuth \stoptext works in Tex Live but not in Minimals. On Jun 30, 2011, at 10:46 AM, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Since you seem to be using MKIV (LuaTeX), you have to ignore entries with *.mkii files. Only *.tex (if any left at all), *.lua and *.mkiv are relevant for MKIV. This gives you page-mar.mkiv:\def\inothermargin{\inother} page-mar.mkiv:%D \inothermargin{\TestLine{yellow} {x}} test test test \par page-mar.mkiv:% \input tufte \inothermargin{test} \input tufte However the file page-mar.mkiv starts with: \endinput % obsolete, also commented code in anch-pgr.mkiv You need to ask Hans about the reason.

because all that stuff is reimplemented in typo-mar.mkiv \inmargin{test}test \inother {test}test ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
