Hi Hans,

It doesn’t keep failing for me because the fix is well documented, so I fixed it on my machine. I am just imagining that it might be nice to put that fix in the modules that people download. For example, a teacher wants to help me test my book, so he followed the instructions on the wiki to instal ConTeXt (LMTX) and the modules (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules). Then he had to go in and change two commands the file:

	context-osx-64/tex/texmf-modules/generic/pgfplots/pgfplots.code.tex

The changes are:

	Line 7928: change “\begin{axis}" to “\axis”
	Line 7934: change “\end{axis}" to “\endaxis”

Then everything is great.

I don't know where the modules live and how they are maintained, but if this fix could be put into those modules before people download them, that would be helpful as I add more collaborators.

Thanks!
Gavin
