Subject: Questions about \starttext
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 12:43:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180320113810.GA11776@akela.mendelu.cz> (raw)

Hi all,

doing some tests I discovered two interesting facts.

The first is that commands \starttext and \stoptext do not behave as a group.

Minimal example (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden):

\starttext
text
  \starttext
  \bf text 
  \stoptext
text  % this text is in bold, too.
\stoptext

Is this the expected behaviour, or not? 

The second interesting thing is that the unbalanced document is compiled without protests:

Minimal example #1 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden):

\starttext
text			% in this case, the "text" is shipped out

Minimal example #2 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden):

text			% in this case, the "text" is not shipped out
\stoptext

If this is ok, it does not correspond to our garden wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/starttext):

"The first command takes care of a number of initializations, and the last
command tells TEX that processing can stop. When this command is left out
TEX will display a * (a star) on the command line at the end of the job. TEX
will expect a command, for example \end."


Wishes,

Tomáš
