I take it that my installation has been crunched, and my guess is that it happened in the process of configuring the cloned backup for use on my laptop (i.e., in installing the version of OSX appropriate for a PowerBook as opposed to the original PowerMac). The process creates a folder called “Previous System” and the promise is that it will move all the stuff across that it can. But I now think that it has just clobbered my TeX installation.

Re: [NTG-context] How to customize the default verbatim colors
Thanks a lot, Taco! I knew there should be a good way! Maybe it would be useful to add it to http://contextgarden.net/Verbatim_text ? I also noticed that XML verbatim does not correctly handle tags with namespace. In the xml like the "ns" gets colored with tag-color, the "tag" with attr-color. I think the whole "ns:tag" should be of tag-color.
