Maybe I should start a blog somewhere...
Anyway, I have started my "conversion to ConTeXT" project.
So, I used the fiee perl script to set up my project. Then I started to
fill things in. Everything is still in one directory (I do not understand
directory searching in ConTeXt yet and I haven't seen a example for a book
project).
So, I have a project file:
===============================
% output=pdf interface=en
\usemodule[bib]
\startproject project_teoada
\environment env_teoada
% \showlayout
% \showgrid
% \showbodyfontenvironment
\product prd_book
\stopproject
===============================
A product file:
===============================
\startproduct prd_book
\project project_teoada
\startfrontmatter
\component c_introduction
\stopfrontmatter
\component c_chapter1
\component c_chapter2
\component c_chapter3
\component c_chapter4
\component c_chapter5
\component c_chapter6
\component c_chapter7
\startbackmatter
\component c_appendixa
\component c_appendixb
\stopbackmatter
\stopproduct
===============================
I defined a description environment to replace LaTeX's description. In the
environment file:
===============================
\startenvironment env_teoada
\project project_teoada
\definedescription [description]
[location=hanging, margin=standard, headstyle=bold]
\definestartstop [descriptions] [before=\blank\startpacked,
after=\stoppacked\blank]
\stopenvironment
===============================
And I put some info in c_introduction.tex. There I used the description
thingy:
===============================
\startcomponent c_introduction
\product prd_book
\project project_teoada
\starttext
\chapter[h:guide]{Guide}
\startdescriptions
\description{Chapter \in[h:ch1]} Bla bla
\description{Chapter \in[h:ch2]} Bla bla
\stopdescriptions
\stoptext
\stopcomponent
===============================
Now, this fails. Why? I was completely stumped. I get an error message I
do not understand:
references : unknown reference [][h:ch2]
! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
\stopdescriptions ->\dostopattributes \egroup
\getvalue {\??be
descriptions\...
<argument> Bla bla \stopdescriptions
\@@stopdescription
{description}\stoptext
\dodowithpar ...cription}[]{Chapter \in [h:ch2]}#1
\@@stopdescription

l.14
? x
Now what turns out to solve this? Empty lines before \description and
\stopdescriptions
Though I like ConTeXt if I look at certain design aspects, behaviour that
depends on whitespace before a command frightens me.
