That was very kind of you, and I'd like to buy you a beer, even though your example seemed to be much more complex than mine.
I assume your example ought to run 'out of the box' by just issuing the commend 'context relabs'. So I did, and what I got for my trouble was the following pdf (OK, so there was more white space, but this was all the content).
Wolfgang.pdf
Description: Adobe PDF document
There's not much to guide me in the log file ( the only not found was : files
> readfile > asked name: 'loc', not found), but context (ConTeXt ver:
2011.08.04 00:42 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.12 int: english/english) seems not to have
found the component text, or the graphic….
So far I have lost days to this…and I'm afraid I'm none the wiser now.
But I do appreciate the effort. Thanks.
