this is because in core-mis.tex, ConTeXt defines \documentclass. I wonder why.

Actually, I still wonder why. Could anyone enlighten me?

You mean the system : try LaTeX message? Would it break anything to remove the LaTeX check? Patrick -- Silent is the goldfish in its bowl

no, apart from being less polite to ths confused user ; btw, why does it need to be removed?

Well, it does not really have to be removed. The only thing that I think is unnecessary is that ConTeXt defines \documentclass. IMO it is not a good habit that any other macro package besides LaTeX defines \documentclass (unless, of course, absoultely necessary). So my suggestion is to use something like \ifx\documentclass\undefined\else \global\def\documentclass {\showmessage\m!systems3\empty\stoptext} \fi instead. We can forget about \documentstyle, since latex2.09 is ancient history. There might be more tex-macros out ther than soul.sty that are mostly macro package independant but looks for LaTeX by checking for \documentclass. Patrick -- Silent is the goldfish in its bowl
