A couple of reasons for minimal examples: having an isolated issue is easier to debug and in the process of simplifying the code you might stumble on the solution yourself.
For example, I have a book that uses dozens of files. When I encounter an issue, I concatenate the files and then start chopping out chunks that don't affect the output. Eventually I get down to a minimal example that allows me to further research the issue. If I get stuck, then I post the problem. It's time-consuming but you can't assume people will dedicate the time to replicate issues based on descriptions... :-) Try to whittle down a minimal example that illustrates the problem. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
