Dear Wolfgang, Many thanks! As usual you are clear and sharp… Your code works and does exactly what I need… Moreover I learned from it several clean tricks in order to use the way one can write macros in ConTeXt. I have just to understand different parts of the code in order to wikify it.

Sometimes, I get errors and an interactive prompt that I kill with either ctrl+C or ctrl+Z (at random). You shouldn't do that. Type 'x' at the error prompt, it makes (Lua)TeX terminate. Ctrl+C sometimes isn't enough to kill LuaTeX, though I have no idea why;

I've also noticed something along those lines. I've also found that CTRL+Z/C doesn't really exit the program --- there are stale processes still lying around. What I described is general, it tends to happen across big documents. Is this a known problem? � Broustet wrote: Dear context

On a small example : ctrl+C works, ctrl+Z leaves unkillable (either -15 or -1) luatex and texlua process. Again, that's because Ctrl+Z, in a normal Unix environment, only suspends the process, it never kills it. Try kill -19 first (SIGCONT), then kill -15 or -1. You can try the following
