Hi, I am worried because I would like to use mag-01 to write a document and then upload it to the arxiv.org. Of course, I have a title for the document and I would like to use it instead of having "My Way" written in the front page (which nobody would understand) I see that ------------------------- %C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is %C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See mreadme.pdf for %C details. ------------------------- I found this file on the net. at www.tug.org/teTeX/tetex-texmfdist/doc/context/base/mreadme.pdf I see that it is (basically?) GPL. Ok... now, in mag-01 I read that: % This style is used for producing explanationary documents. % Don't misuse it for other purposes, since it may confuse % users. Don't change the title either, since it provides a % way to categorize documents. Numbers are disabled in % instances produced outside PRAGMA ADE. "Don't change the title either" ?!?! and % These are reserved for PRAGMA-ADE, don't use them yourself! % \setvariables[magazine][main=Tricky] % \setvariables[magazine][main=Update] % \setvariables[magazine][main=HOWTO] % \setvariables[magazine][main=This Way] % preludes to a/the manual % \setvariables[magazine][main=A Better Way] % dirty versus clean % \setvariables[magazine][main=No Way] % how users should not do % it % \setvariables[magazine][main=Your Way] % how users do it % \setvariables[magazine][main=My Way] % how users do it % \setvariables[magazine][main=Our Way] % how we do things at % pragma % \setvariables[magazine][main=Their Way] % how to do latex things % in context What does this mean? Am I free to use the style but forced to write "My Way" on the top of it? Cannot I modify mag-01.tex, rename it to something which do not lead to confusion (say "JourDiffTitle.tex") and -of course leaving the comments there- use it as I want? Are the example tex files under the gpl or cannot one modify them? I am asking to avoid posterior problems. Thanks, Pau

it's just that we don't want confusion .. a context user expects a myway/yourway to be a kind of manual so, if you use one of the reserved titles, then it should preferaby be a kind of manual thing; often these end up on the garden or alongside modules i have no problem if you create a document using another title at the top of your document you can change the title using \setvariables so there is no real reason for a copy Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Hans,
Dank u!
That was a quick answer.
Also, thanks a lot for your software, and for making it free. You have
made true a lot of little perversions of mine which usually cost me
sweat and blood with latex (no offense please, your work is great,
this is just intented to be a nice little joke)
It's amazing to see how I get the same result with context in one line
(or even one command) when I needed something like 20 lines or so with
latex!
You have gained a new ardent context fan.

i have no problem if you create a document using another title
at the top of your document you can change the title using \setvariables so there is no real reason for a copy
