Hello list,

I'm trying to compile the mkiv-publications manual from the ConTeXt distribution.

Running

context mkiv-publications

stops with the error:

... tex error > tex error on line 58 in file publications- database.tex: ! Undefined control sequence

l.58 \startBTX

hm it seems that it's defined only if atpragma mode is enabled.

The latest version of the manual source, as found on the Garden.

At http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv the link http://pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/mkiv-publications.pdf gives the same pdf of the latest beta, so it should be generated from the source. But in the the source code in tex/texmf-context/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/publications perhaps we need to add template2.bib and tugboat.bib : $ grep bib mkiv-publications.log |grep 'no file' publications > no file 'tugboat.bib' publications > no file 'template2.bib' -- luigi
