Hi, I've encountered another simpleslides problem, which can probably be chalked up to mkiv's "moving target" status. Minimal example: \usemodule[simpleslides] \setupTitle[title=Hi] \starttext \placeTitle \stoptext Error with mkiv, ConTeXt 2012.11.14 11:37: ! Undefined control sequence. {snip} <argument> \??vars :simpleslides:title: \dousestylehashparameter #1#2->\ifcsname #1 #2\endcsname \expandafter \douses... \dostartattributes ...estylehashparameter {#1}{#2} \dousecolorhashparameter {... \placeTitle ...pleslides:title:}\c!style \c!color \simpleslidestitlecomponen... l.4 \placeTitle Cheers, ~~ Ondra

I can't reproduce this here; your test file compiles and produces the expected output. Are you sure that you have installed the simpleslides module and that it is loaded at runtime? Look into the log file, around line 12: (test.tex resolvers > modules > loaded: 'simpleslides' (../home/tas/texmf/tex/context/third/simpleslides/t-simpleslides.mkiv loading > module simpleslides resolvers > modules > loaded: 'default' (../home/tas/texmf/tex/context/third/simpleslides/simpleslides-f-default.tex simpleslides > loading default font setup Thomas

Or wait: did you download the modules during the last three days? I may have uploaded a wrong version; can you try again with the latest?
Just to be sure, I re-downloaded ConTeXt Standalone (it's now on 2012.11.16), unpacked the newest simpleslides from modules.contextgarden.net in texmf-modules (overwriting the existing files), and, compiling my minimal example, got the same error. For what it's worth, I don't know how happy mkiv is with \doattributes and \dostartattributes. Cheers, ~~ Ondra

I can confirm that the wiki still has the wrong version.

Both commands are still working but when you write new code use the new macros from mult-aux.mkiv to set style and color values. Wolfgang

Sorry, my bad - new revision, can you try again? Thomas
