Mojca's solution works, which means that the sample code on page 242 of _The Context Manual_ is missing the necessary braces. Just for fun I tried Hans' solution also, It did not help in this case. The correct example is on page 227. I corrected page 242 so that I don't ask the same question again :) -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
