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. > %%%% begin example > \starttext > > \starttext > > \stoptext > > \stoptext > %%%% end example > > but this doesn't. > > %%%% begin example > \starttext > > \starttext > %%%% end example > > Wolfgang Take a look at the command line when you process a file and you should see something like this: 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). Wolfgang. I do appreciate your emphasis and your input on all of this. I do. I really do. But we can't go over this, over and over again. Do you know who said the above? Not me. You. Do you know whose remarks are those? Not mine. Yours. Replace cont-yes.mkiv with the newer equivalent. And you're right though. \starttext is not even needed most of the times. > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the > Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / > https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net > archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ > wiki : https://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ -- Real Users never use the Help key. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
