In a MKIV file using the approved method of structuring projects, does the \product tag do anything or is it just internal documentation for the source file? When I process a file called book.tex and containing the tag: \product foobar the result is a file called book.pdf, just as if the tag did not exist. -- John Culleton Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Police Procedural and Expose: "Death Wore Black" "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

The name of the output file is always the name of the main input file and you can only change this with the result option for context/texexec scripts. The \product command is a special version of \input and the given file is only read when the command appears in a project file and since it is no longer recommended to use a project as main file the command has no real purpose except a internal reference (in a component) to the parent file.

Hi John,
What Wolfgang said: `\product X` should be processed once inside
`\startproject` environments, and never otherwise. And you should
probably have products as your build targets, not projects.
@Hans: when I looked at the `processors` table in file-job.lua, I
found some discrepancies between the processing commands and the
reporting strings. Here is the table edited to show just the
discrepancies:
local processors = utilities.storage.allocate {
-- [we_are_inside_startthis] = {
-- [we_encounter_this] = { "string_for_message",
processing_command }, -- comment
-- }
[v_text] = {
[v_project] = { "none", context.processfileonce }, -- none
[v_product] = { "none", context.processfileonce }, -- none
},
[v_project] = {
[v_product] = { "once", context.processfilenone }, -- once
-- consistent, but strange comment
[v_component] = { "none", context.processfilenone }, -- many *
},
[v_product] = {
[v_product] = { "none", context.processfilemany }, -- none
},
}
Is this all right? In general, the reporing strings are the ones
consistent with the table at the bottom of
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure
which is taken from page 3 of

Cheers,
