[NTG-context] Project structure – how to process product file
Hello, I am trying to split a book in separated chapter files. Every of them includes: \startcomponent kap01 \environment environ %this I use because it is great to fine-tune shorter parts of book, it saves a lot of time \product kniha \starttext ... \stoptext Processing of single chapter files is ok. In my productfile I have: \startproduct kniha \component kap01 \component kap02 \stopproduct Of course, I have both chapters saved like kap01.tex... I have that directory structure: \Pes\environ.tex \Pes\kap01\kap01.tex \Pes\kap02\kap02.tex \Pes\kniha\kniha.tex – this is the product file. But when I try to process the product file, it saves kniha.log, kniha.tuc but no pdf file. Interesting is, the console says exactly: mkiv lua stats > result saved in file - kniha.pdf But no, it really doesn't save anything...

Hello Mojca,
I did wonder if this was known: I've noticed that ConTeXt seems to be
'on and off' at least on my Mac (I've done less testing on Windows).
My /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmfcnf.lua shows:
-- (Public domain.)

return { TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2011/texmf-var' }

Were you, by any chance, an early adopter who didn't install the new
version of MacPorts once it was officially released?
Please replace the contents of that file with:
return {
content = {
variables = {
TEXMFHOME = "~/Library/texmf",
TEXMFVAR = "~/Library/texlive/2011/texmf-var",
TEXMFCONFIG = "~/Library/texlive/2011/texmf-config",
},
},
}
or reinstall MacTeX.

Hello Mojca,
I did indeed install MacTeX 'early' (basically as soon as it became
available for testing). I'm surprised "sudo tlmgr install --reinstall
context metapost" did not sort this one out.
Anyway, that sorts the issue: thanks very much for the very rapid reply.

It's in the zip so probably something went wrong when updating the
garden? or maybe you just updated when the file was refreshed.
I'll push a new beta to force an update.

I'm surprised "sudo tlmgr install --reinstall > context metapost" did not sort this one out. tlmgr is not allowed to change your local configuration file (that would be a bad idea) since you might have edited it yourself. We updated that file during testing phase. In the same spirit: you probably don't have the bleeding edge TLU unless you updated it manually and tlmgr won't really help you with that. Even more important might be the version of TeX Dist Preference Pane.

Not without more information. - Does this happen when you compile the product or the component? - Do you have matching startproduct/stopproduct and startcomponent/stopcomponent in your files? - Can you make a minimal example or can you send your document (private mail is also possible in this case)!

You forgot the backslash in front of your values.
It’s also bad style to misuse the \title command for your document title
because \title is only the unnumbered version of \chapter, nothing else.
Another way to create your document title is the following code:
\setupcolors [state=start]
\definecolor [colorone][r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red
\definecolor [colortwo][b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue

\getvariable{exam}{course}
\stopframedtext
\blank[big]
\startcolor[colortwo]
\doifelsevariable{exam}{date}{\expanded{\date[\getvariable{exam}{date}]}}{\currentdate}

OK. That style was my first real project with ConTeXt, so it some
non-canonical setups. These days I use:
\definehead[assignment][...]
\setuphead[assignment][...]
\startassignment[...]
...
\stopassignment
which gives a much better control over the exported xhtml file.
Another way to create your document title is the following code:

Nice, I didn't realize that set key could be used this way.
If one is also interested in a usable XML export, then some
\starttag..\stoptag must be added to the setups.
