[NTG-context] outputting components in their own PDFs
Denis— Many thanks for your explanation. It works very well in my separating components (chapters) and is going to save me a lot of time. Thanks too to Hans. And my apologies for missing the earlier discussion: my internet access and email has been very flakey of late and I know that I have lost messages. In fact, I found Denis’s reply and the earlier exchange by going to the list Archive.

[NTG-context] Setuptolerance vs setupalign
Hi, I've just noticed that it's possible to do \setupalign [tolerant,stretch] and \setuptolerance [tolerant,stretch] Are these equivalent? Will this here have the desired effect? \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \setupalign[hz,hanging] Or will \setupalign overwrite the tolerance settings?

you're right, the list= can be removed (you can do that and see that it
still works)
Just mp=... could be enough, but maybe "list=xyz,mp=xyz" makes it clear
that mp is used to get a parshape from MetaPost instead of a
\startparagraphshape definition.
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch,last]\dontcomplain
What's the meaning of \dontcomplain? Why is it needed there?
I don't want to see messages about underful boxes cluttering my log (and
such shapes tend to produce them).
BTW, \startparagraphshape, \stopparagraphshape, \startshapedparagraph,
\stopshapedparagraph should be added to the .xml documentation files.
WOlfgang normally picks up these new thinsg and adds them but we update
the xml files only periodically.
The "right", "left", "both", "copy", "repeat" syntax in
\startparagraphshape is really handy.
I might actually add "metapost {name}" too and "delete n" to wipe out
some previous ones. Rather trivial but we need to be able to say that we
'added a new feature' occasionally. I couldn't yet think of more than
'cycle' and 'repeat' but who knows what users want ... (like some
autofit loop).
