typesetting macro packages

typesetting macro packages

[Matthew Baker]

Hi,

I thought I'd try putting one or two sets of macros I've been doing for
internal purposes into the Context module format.  The structure seems
fairly clear from looking at the m-* that come with Context.  One question
though: to typeset the documentation for these modules, does one do

texexec --pdf --module m-mymodule.tex?

When I do this, it complains that it can't find various modu-* files which
don't seem to come with the Cotext .zip file.  Are these public?  Or am I
doing the wrong thing?

Sure, but you need some module files.

Those styles are undocumented crap, and therefore not public. I'll mail
you zip, but don't distribute it. 

The module mechanism is primary meant for context modules. You own stuff
is to be included with 

\environment <filename> 

I also suggest not to use local names starting with m- p- s- because
these are used by context itself.
