I have figured out that there is a way to print out the internal documentation of the various Context modules in a manner that makes some sense. I first use grep to extract all the %D lines of a module into a separate file e.g., foo.tex. Then I eliminate the %D tag from all lines using Vim. I add \starttext and \stoptext statements. Then I run texexec --pdf foo.tex. The result is imperfect but more or less intelligible. It seems to me that there might be a script buried somewhare in the system that does this better. If so, what is it called? -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

do texexec --module FILE basically (you need the dutch format file for this though), nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}
Hi all, though I'm not 100 \% certain, I think this behavior came up in the latest release of ConTeXt. For my manuscripts for talks, I have defined a nice little counter like this \newcounter\slidecounter \define\sln{\increment\slidecounter \color[red]{[\slidecounter]} } which allows me to just type \sln when I want to mark a spot where I want to show a new slide, and it will give the number in red, between brackets. OK, this has been working for quite a while, but recently, I have observed a strange behavior: if I use the command within an itemize-group, it will count normally, but after the \stopitemize, the counter will be reset to the value before the itemization. I can't swear to it, but I'm reasonably certain that this wasn't the case before. Is it possible that something was broken, Hans? Best wishes (especially to our new fellow-citizens) Thomas

use \doglobal\increment instead (also, use names like \Sln so that there will never be conflicts with existing macros; i wouldnot be surprised if there will be a math function sln some day) Hans

Hans, thanks, works as expected!

Darn, caught in the act! Promise I will be a good boy next time ;-) Thanks Thomas

Faster than grep: texutil --documents texfile.tex produces a TeX file called texfile.ted

Try: texexec --module --pdf file where FILE is a ConTeXt MP/PL/TEX file This combines texutil --documents with texexec --pdf. Tobias
