I just realized that \starbreak was one of my own macros (defined ages ago) so the MWE should be: \usemodule[fancybreak] \define\starbreak{ \fancybreak{ \strut\hfill\hfill\symbol[star]\hfill\symbol[star]\hfill\symbol[star]\hfill\ hfill\strut }} \starttext \input ward \starbreak \input ward \stoptext Sorry for the confusion.

Hmm... That did not work for me. The example on the garden (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupfancybreak) is not working either. I get a "tex error > tex error on line 2 in file ./mwe.tex: Undefined control sequence" on \setupfancybreak. \usemodule[fancybreak] \setupfancybreak[symbol=star] \starttext Paragraph \fancybreak Paragraph \stoptext Thanks, Clyde -----Original Message----- From: Wolfgang Schuster [mailto:wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 25, 2021 7:22 PM To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Cc: Clyde Johnston Subject: Re: [NTG-context] fancybreak module Clyde Johnston schrieb am 25.01.2021 um 17:55:

Can you show your log-file because the fancybreak module on the wiki provides the \setupfancybreak command. Wolfgang

Yes, thanks for taking a look.

The following message in the log file (line12) modules > 'fancybreak' is not found tells us ConTeXt isn't able to load/find a module with the requested name. Are you sure the module is installed on your system? Is it possible your previous example works because the module is in the same folder as the file for the document. Wolfgang

Thank you. It has been a few years since I have done an installation. I think the old installation instructions either installed the modules by default or guided me to do so (as I do not remember installing them) whereas the new one does not. I followed the Module installation instructions of LTMX (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules) and it is now working. The only difficulty I had is that Windows does not come with "rsync" so I had to run it from Linux and then copy it across manually to my PC before running install.bat. Thanks, Clyde PS: I have a few other backward-compatibility issues but I need to take a closer look and build MWE for them. -----Original Message----- From: Wolfgang Schuster [mailto:wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 25, 2021 9:31 PM To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Cc: Clyde Johnston Subject: Re: [NTG-context] fancybreak module Clyde Johnston schrieb am 25.01.2021 um 19:48:

When you need only a very small number of third party modules you can just download the zip file and unpack the content in the texmf-modules folder. Wolfgang
