Hi there,

I am working on a book, and today compiling fails with the following error:

I did not change anything, only updated context. Tried to downgrade again, but failed. What is this mysterious error? It occurs on many pages in the book, but until today there was no compiling problem at all. Should I panic? :)

You should provide a working minimal example. The errors message tells me there is a problem with \setupindenting (or the “indenting” setting) of your bigquote environment. Wolfgang
