Hello, here's next of my newbie questions. I have a template for some sort of documents, lets say a report in one file as an environment. It contains also a definition for a footer with an image. I'd like to have the image on some other path than documents together with the template so I have to use \setupexternalfigures, but is it possible to specify a path independently of the env file and document file location. I mean some kind of global variable $TEMPLATES_DIR. Is it also possible to set some global path, where context will search the env files and not to use the full path in document file? Is enviroment good aproach to define templates? I have read Han's document about project structure, but it does something a bit different I think. template file in some directory on the system: \startenvironment myreport ... \setupexternalfigures[directory=???] \setupfootertexts[{\externalfigure[mypic]}] ... \stopenvironment document file in some other directory: \enviroment myreport \starttext \stoptext best regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Put the files in your local texmf directory: $HOME/texmf/
Is enviroment good aproach to define templates?
For general document templates I create modules. They define the entire document layout. Everything except the content. This makes sense if the layout is likely to be reused. I use environments to define individual parts of the layout eg. font setups, header setup, etc. If the document layout unique to this particular document I often only use environments.
template file in some directory on the system: \startenvironment myreport ... \setupexternalfigures[directory=???] \setupfootertexts[{\externalfigure[mypic]}] ... \stopenvironment
External figures are also found in the local texmf directory. Marco
