Many thanks for sharing your env file. I'm trying to use that making some projects and components files. But every-time I run texexec I found a error message. For fixing that I will need to include the files vz-cont.tex and vg05-general.
Did you can provide me some complete example of your work? thanks a lot Jorge Em 25/05/2006, às 9:47, Vit Zyka escreveu: > Dear ConTeXters, > > surprisingly, in this e-mail you will find any bug report!
