Hi,

I'd appreciated some help with the following problem. How can I stop
the following code generating an error on calling \placecontent from a
product?

In the test case I have files: env-test, prd-test, cmp-test.

\startenvironment [env-test]
	\def\dostartArticle[#1]% generate article header with
	{\getgparameters[my][#1]
		\chapter{\mytitle}
	}
	
	\def\dostopArticle{%
	\page}
	
	\def\startArticle{\dosingleempty\dostartArticle}
	\def\stopArticle{\dosingleempty\dostopArticle}
\stopenvironment


\startproduct prd-test
	\environment ../env-test
	\placecontent %fails with Undefined control sequence \mytitle
	\component cmp-test
\stopproduct


\startcomponent[cmp-test]
	\product prd-test
	\environment env-test
	%\placecontent %works here
	\startArticle[title={Into the unknown}, author={A. U. Thor}] %author
parameter unused in test, just example of what I expect \startArticle
to look like
	\input knuth
	\stopArticle
\stopcomponent


Any ideas how to make this work?

TIA,

Elliot

Thanks, Hans and Wolfgang.

Spotted that on closer inspection. Pesky typos! Also realised I was
using square brackets with \startenvironment which is not permitted.
I should pay more attention ;-)

Delete the temporyry files and remove "../" from "\environment ../env- 
test"
in prd-test.tex.

it might depend on the order, i.e. when the need is there to load the 
tuo file, the \mytitle might not be defined yet; make sure you load the 
env as soon as possible

Thanks Wolfgang,

>\expanded{\chapter{\mytitle}}}

I have tried wrapping the call to \chapter in \expanded. Hans, also
suggested that here: www.ntg.nl/maps/20/12.pdf

Unfortunately doesn't seem to work. I think the problem occurs in the
final run of TeXexec, whilst finalising the ToC.

Is it something to do with the .tuo file?

systems         : begin file prd-test at line 1
systems         : begin file ../env-test at line 2
systems         : end file ../env-test at line 2
(./prd-test.tuo
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \mytitle

\listtextcommand #1->\begstrut #1
                                 \endstrut
\doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4
                                                  }\dostopattributes
<argument> ...ont \limitatedlistentry {\mytitle }}
                                                  \egroup \ifdim \wd 4=\zero...

\secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2

\dosomelistelement ...hss \dostoplistattributes }}
                                                  \endgraf \nointerlineskip ...
...
l.30 ...}{1}{1}{\mytitle }{2--0-1-0-0-0-0-0--1}{1}


Just to be clear,  \mytitle is defined by \getparameters in my
environment file -- 'env-test'. The product 'prd-test' includes the
component 'cmp-test'. The problem only occurs when ConTeX tries to
build the product, not the component. What is it about the
relationship between the product and component that cuases the
trouble?

Regards,

Elliot
