It makes a 'Christmas tree' made of boxes. What I would like is to put some text, which are given as parameters, into the 13 boxes. But when a text does not fit into it's box, I do not want the PDF to be generated and receive an error code. Is this possible?

Changed this to: \setvariables [tree] [1='Some very long text to try to get to much text for the box to fit in. There is a lot of room. Just some other text to finish it of. With this line added, there is to much text.', 2=Two, 3=Three, 4=Four, 5=Five, 6=Six, 7=Seven, 8=Eight, 9=Nine, 10=Ten, 11=Eleven, 12=Twelf, 13=Thirtheen ] That comes quit a bit to what I want. When I use this and then I execute: texexec --batchmode --purge --silent testTree.tex an error is signalled. When I remove the last sentence from the first parameter, it signals success. My only remaining problem is that I want to use parameters to input the values for the boxes. How would I do that?

I have a solution for the parameters. I work with Linux, so I just could make a BASH script, which generates the tex file with the filled in parameters. There is only one problem left. I want to know what the (first) parameter which is wrong. I could determine the first wrong one with 4 new calls to texexec (starting with a call where only the first seven parameters are filled), but is there a way to give back a return value that signifies which parameter was wrong? I could not find documentation about \forcequitjob. Is there no documentation, or did I look wrong? -- Cecil Westerhof M CLDWesterhof@gmail.com O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please do not send me Microsoft Office/Apple iWork documents.
