It's a very interesting question, I was asking myself the same and I'm curious about the answer. The ConTeXt magazine #1101 - Project Structure¹ is reserved about this topic and simply states: “The names given after the start command are not that important…”

I had always previously PPP and CCC as existing filenames on the disk.

I always used filenames, too.

But I would like to extend Luke's question on this issue: You can load an existing component to other components?

The ConTeXt magazine #1101 includes a table of the possible combinations of the commands. From this table I conclude that components are allowed between: ∙ \starttext \stoptext ∙ \startcomponent \stopcomponent ∙ \startproduct \stopproduct Marco [1] http://pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-1101.pdf

Hello, as no new answer so far, I started to experiment. It seems that [at least] component id(s) cannot be omitted: ---- Prod.mkiv \startproduct % PPP \component Comp.mkiv Product \stopproduct ---- And: ---- Comp.mkiv \startcomponent % CCC %\product Prod %\project Proj Component \stopcomponent ---- - Gives a wrong product, as Prod.pdf doesn't include the component. Another test: ---- Prod.mkiv \startproduct _ % PPP \component Comp.mkiv \component Comp2.mkiv Product \stopproduct ---- And: ---- Comp.mkiv \startcomponent _ % CCC Component \stopcomponent ---- ---- Comp2.mkiv \startcomponent _ % CCC Component2 \stopcomponent ---- Gives a good result. So it seems that [at least some] ids are required, and just not-to-be-empty. I tested the case when all product/component ids were the same, i.e. "_", as a dummy value. As later the ids are referred nowhere, it seems that they are necessary just due to syntactical rules. Or - ? Lukas On Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:01:52 +0100, Marco wrote:

the tags are (an always will be) mandate

they are also used in

- cross document referencing (component processing) - logging and reporting - keeping track of loading environments once - internal pusp/pop states and hashes - whatever we need in the future

(so, naming all environments _ will load only one)
