Hello,
what is the difference between a module and an environment?
What are the guidelines to decide where to put some code?
TIA for any hints, Peter

In my opinion, environments are closely tied in with specific
products/publications. Modules are where you would put code
that is usable in a much wider range of documents, perhaps even
by people you have not met before. :-)
Greetings. Taco

Alright. So, if I understand it right, there is no technical difference.
Thanks, Peter

Hi Wolfgang,
I would say, that a module makes part of the ConTeXt package e.g.
m-chart.tex or m-units.tex. There are also third-party modules which
start then with t- e.g. t-lettri.tex.
An environment is a file containing layout-instructions belonging to a
certain project or a personal environment which is loaded at starting up.

Sorry Peter, I did not intend to give you a new name ;-)
