Dear ConTeXt folks,

to test presentation styles the Wiki [1] lists the following command to
execute.

        texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-xx

Unfortunately that does not work on my Debian Sid/unstable system
(TeXLive 2009). I reported it to the Debian BTS [2].

I think, the main reason seems to be the following line.
        systems         : invalid \starttext...\stoptext structure

Do you know if this command should still be working. It might be
something changed because the Wiki page was last edited in May 2007.


Thanks,

Paul
