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. 

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.

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.

Mike
