Typesetting all documents in a project
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/92ce7123a3a92c91d77e43e13e0affa9.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hello all, I'm setting up a new project structure, and having trouble when I typeset the project file in TeXShop with engine ConTeXt (LuaTeX). The console report includes... close source > level 2, order 7, name '/Users/mhoc/Documents/projects/histories/history-earlyMidWest/proj-git/context/project_guide.tex' system > invalid \starttext ... \stoptext structure and further down... mkiv lua stats > result saved in file: project_guide.pdf, compresslevel 3, objectcompresslevel 3 The claimed output “project_guide.pdf” does not materialise (nor should it). Instead I hoped typesetting "project_guide.tex" would create a PDF of each product mentioned i.e. "prd_guide" in this case ; a way of generating in one action all outputs for a project. I saw the same result in the TexLive 2017 version, but the above messages are from the latest beta: My ConTeXt ver: 2017.05.15 21:48 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.6.10 Grateful for any hints about where I'm going wrong.

The project file is not intended to be processed directly. It serves only as a collection of environment files which are sourced by products belonging to this particular project. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/project The files you process using the context executable are the products, which is somewhat intuitive, because they _produce_ PDF files.
