I was warned (a few years ago) on the mailing list NOT to place any text outside of structure elements. For example, \starttext This is a forward. \startchapter[title=First chapter] \input tufte \stopchapter This is a an afterthought. \stoptext Of course, this works, but I was warned that everything might not work correctly as expected outside of the structure, since such text is "nowhere". I cannot remember the example of what had gone haywire, but I leaned my lesson (and started systematically using \start\stop for everything, well, not for paragraphs as I find that a bit too heavy...). As to WARNINGS: ConTeXt generally silently ignores incorrect coding, unknown options, etc. One might call for all sorts of "bells and whistles" but these come at a performance cost so I have also learned to do without them. Of course, this sometimes makes debugging one's errors a bit more difficult, but after 10 years or so of practice one will no longer make many errors! (one of my favorites still is "\startext") ;-) Alan ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
