ok, where can I find it? 

The thing I am a bit confused and which was the main reason of my question,
is why the compiler does not report the unbalanced pair of start/stop in
this case.

  Hi all,

doing some tests I discovered two interesting facts.

The first is that commands \starttext and \stoptext do not behave as a group.

Minimal example (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden):

\starttext
text
\starttext
\bf text
\stoptext
text % this text is in bold, too.
\stoptext

Is this the expected behaviour, or not?

Opening a group with \starttext makes no sense because there is nothing after 
\stoptext.

The possibility to nest \starttext is necessary when you \startproduct etc. 
where components
can be be documents on its own and this means \startcomponent includes 
\starttext in its
definition.
The second interesting thing is that the unbalanced document is compiled 
without protests:

Minimal example #1 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the 
Garden):

\starttext
text % in this case, the "text" is shipped out

Take a look at the command line when you process a file and you should see 
something like this:

mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="[...]/cont-en" --jobname="test" [...] 
--c:input="./test.tex" [...] "cont-yes.mkiv"

As you can see the luatex engine processes the file cont-yes.mkiv and not your 
document
which put as argument to context. Your document is just read by cont-yes.mkiv 
and at the
end of the document ConTeXt inserts an extra \stoptext which is ignored when 
your document
is valid (equal number of \starttext and \stoptext).
Minimal example #2 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the 
Garden):

text % in this case, the "text" is not shipped out
\stoptext

The reason why no text appears is that ConTeXt doesn't load the default fonts
untill \starttext. The reason for this is to is a gain in speed and you save 
resources.

You can test this by adding \setupbodyfont[modern] at the begin of your example.

Wolfgang

A reasonable approach to a Context file includes preliminary information before 
the first printed page. My basic master file looks like this :



  \input variables.tex\relax
\input layout.tex\relax
\input macros.tex\relax
\input fonts.tex\relax
\starttext\relax
%\showlayout
\startfrontmatter
\input half.tex\relax
\startstandardmakeup
\null
\stopstandardmakeup
\input title.tex\relax
\input copy.tex\relax
\input ded.tex\relax
\input contents.tex\relax
 \input preface.tex\relax
%\startstandardmakeup \relax
%\null \relax
%\stopstandardmakeup  \relax
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\input body3.tex\relax
\stopbodymatter\relax
\startbackmatter\relax
\input bib.tex\relax
\input notes.tex
 \input index.tex
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext\relax


 By loading my usual macros in the macros file, standard items like author's 
name in a variables file and so on I save much time,
 typing and errors.

[NTG-context] Questions about \starttext

2018-03-20 Thread Tomas Hala

The first is that commands \starttext and \stoptext do not behave as a group.

Minimal example (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden):

\starttext
text
  \starttext
  \bf text 
  \stoptext
text  % this text is in bold, too.
\stoptext

Is this the expected behaviour, or not? 

The second interesting thing is that the unbalanced document is compiled 
without protests:

Minimal example #1 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the 
Garden):

Minimal example #2 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the 
Garden):

text% in this case, the "text" is not shipped out
\stoptext

If this is ok, it does not correspond to our garden wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/starttext):

"The first command takes care of a number of initializations, and the last
command tells TEX that processing can stop. When this command is left out
TEX will display a * (a star) on the command line at the end of the job. TEX
will expect a command, for example \end."


Wishes,

Tomáš
