Two maybe related questions: 1. What constitutes a module? I wrote a couple of definitions and put them in a file t-foo.tex. When I write "\input t-foo" in the preamble of my document, everything works fine (so the file is found by TeX). When I say \usemodule[t-foo] or \usemodule[foo], I get "system : no macros found in module foo" and, obviously, "undefined control sequence." So: is there any special form for a module? I'm very curious because I defined a set of similar macros in another module, and everything works fine. 2. Is it possible to use a certain encoding file, enco-bar.tex, for parts of a file only? Could one define a macro (in a module???) that would do something like \switchtoencoding[bar] and switch back to the file's default encoding afterwards? Thanks to all, best Thomas

did you run mktexlsr?

you're talking about font encodings? \definetypeface [PalatinoA] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [PalatinoB] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec] works ok; typefaces live in their own namespace if you're talking about input encoding, you can switch regimes whenever you want Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

did you run mktexlsr? It's a file in my $HOMETEXMF which doesn't have lsR files. I ran mktexlsr nevertheless, but to no avail. I really fail to understand...

Yes, I'm talking about font encodings. For the utf greek stuff, I defined a file enco-agr to provide the named glyphs, which I call by adding \useencoding[agr]. But I just realized that this will only add these named files, not overload the other names in the default encoding, so I guess that's a non-problem after all. I guess Adam was in touch with you. unicode vectors and modules for adding support for utf extended Greek are approaching completion. Maybe we can think where to put the stuff (five fonts at least). Maybe a CTAN/Context directory would be a good thing. Thanks Thomas

weird; can you run with: \tracefilestrue

Ha! That did it! tracefiles showed that ConTeXt was expecting a file name with six or less characters after t-; my module was called t-utfgreek, so ConTeXt was looking for t-utfgre and couldn't find it. Renaming to t-utfgre.tex solved the problem. Is this restriction hard-coded into the core or could it be changed somewhere? So what about that CTAN directory? Would be a good idea, right? Best Thomas

sure, but coordinate that with patrick so that it is referenced right from the wiki Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, [module t-utfgre.tex]
So what about that CTAN directory? Would be a good idea, right?
What about a section "modules" on contextgarden.net that can serve as a place for downloading third party modules as well as syncing with CTAN? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
Excellent suggestion, will get in touch with you off-list! Best Thomas On Mar 16, 2005, at 10:48 AM, Patrick Gundlach wrote:
