Oh no! Never update in the middle of a project. I am in trouble.

[David Arnold]

All,

I updated to Gerben's latest context and now files that formally  
compiled will not.

Here's one error:

The code:

Let's look at another example.

What is the domain and range of this relation?

well, having bgroup/egroup split that way is asking for trouble, and i'm 
surprised that it worked before -)

\defineenumeration
  [example]
  [location=serried,
   width=broad,
   text=Example,
   headcolor=green,
   headstyle=bold,
%    stopper=.,
   style=slanted,
   inbetween=\blank,
   after=\blank]

however, the stopper is doing funny things

Re: Oh no! Never update in the middle of a project. I am in trouble.

[David Arnold]

Hans (please CC Jacob), here is the whole environment file. My  
student did this for me, but if you'd like to make some changes, that  
would be ok.

He has in another environment file:

\def\indetvskiponeem{\vskip 1em plus 1em minus 1em}

Then he has:

\def\startboxcode{\indetvskiponeem\hbox\bgroup\hskip 0.1\makeupwidth}
\def\stopboxcode{\hskip 0.1\makeupwidth\egroup\indetvskiponeem}
\def\keyprefix{\bigstar\hskip 1em}
\def\tipprefix{\checkmark\hskip 1em}
\def\summaryprefix{\bigstar\hskip 1em}
\def\boxwidth{0.8\makeupwidth}
\def\warningprefix{\bgroup\tfa\bold{!}\egroup\hskip 1em}

\defineenumeration
[summary]
[location=serried,
width=broad,
text=\summaryprefix Summary,
style=slanted,
number=no,
inbetween=\blank,
before={\startboxcode\startframedtext[width=\boxwidth,
      background=color,backgroundcolor=tingedblue,frame=no]},
after={\stopframedtext\stopboxcode}]

\defineenumeration
[keyresult]
[location=serried,

number=no,
inbetween=\blank,
before={\startboxcode\startframedtext[width=\boxwidth,
      background=color,backgroundcolor=tingedblue,frame=no]},
after={\stopframedtext\stopboxcode}]

\defineenumeration

[location=serried,
width=broad,
text=\tipprefix,
style=slanted,
number=no,
inbetween=\blank,
before={\startboxcode\startframedtext[width=\boxwidth,
      background=color,backgroundcolor=icicle,frame=no]},
after={\stopframedtext\stopboxcode}]

\defineblock[insummary]
\def\placesectionsummary{\unnumberedsubsection{Section Summary}\bgroup 
\tfx\selectblocks[insummary]\egroup}

\defineenumeration
[example]
[location=serried,
width=broad,
text={\color[heavygreen]\bgroup\bold{Example}},
stopper={.\egroup},
style=slanted,
inbetween=\blank,
after=\blank]

\defineenumeration

[location=serried,

number=no,
inbetween=\blank,

after={\stopframedtext\stopboxcode}]

Re: Oh no! Never update in the middle of a project. I am in trouble.

[David Arnold]

Hans,

Commenting the stopper did not help.

If we can't figure this out piecemeal, then I can give you access to  
the repository and you can look at the overall construction.

i'll upload a fix for the stopper (something went wrong when i changed some code due to better suffix handling in split floats)

Re: Oh no! Never update in the middle of a project. I am in trouble.

[David Arnold]

And I failed to make all the changes you posted previously. After I  
made all of them, one error went away, now I have to attack the other  
enumerations in the environment file.

My young helper would appreciate any words of wisdom.

Wow. Did not know about labeltexts. This goes one more step in

well, the code in the lang-* files is pretty old (therw you can see how do deal with languages as well; there is also left/right lable stuff, as needed for chinese), actually, this is the oldest code ... (reminds of frustrations with latex due to hard coded Chapter in the styles in those days)

Do you see what might be causing the problem?

Re: Oh no! Never update in the middle of a project. I am in trouble.

[David Arnold]

Should I just comment out all the "stopper' commands until this  
update circulates through G's context updater?

Re: Oh no! Never update in the middle of a project. I am in trouble.

[David Arnold]

Hans et al,

OK. I repaired this with:

\setuplabeltext[question=]
\setuplabeltext[answer=]


\defineenumeration
[questions]
[location=serried,
   text=\blank]
\setupenumerations
[questions]
[before={\page[yes]\unnumberedsubsection{Exercises}\startcolumns[n=2]},
   after=\stopcolumns,
   number=no]

\defineenumeration
[answers]
[location=serried,
   text=\blank]

\setupenumerations
[answers]
[before={\unnumberedsubsection{Answers}\startcolumns[n=2]},
   after=\stopcolumns,
   number=no]

\def\placeanswers{%
   \startanswers
   \doifmodeelse{short}
    {\selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]}
    {\selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]}
   \stopanswers}

\defineenumeration
[question]
[location=inleft,
   text=\labeltext{question},
   headcolor=heavygreen]

\setupenumerations
[question]
[location=inleft,
   headcolor=heavygreen,
   stopper=.,
   way=bysection,
   sectionnumber=no]

\defineenumeration
[subquestion]
[location=hanging,
   headcolor=heavygreen,
   conversion=characters]

\setupenumerations
[subquestion]
[stopper=.]

\defineenumeration
[answer]
[location=inleft,
   text=\labeltext{answer},
   headcolor=heavygreen]

\setupenumerations
   [answer]
   [location=inleft,
    headcolor=heavygreen,
    stopper=.,
    way=bysection,
    sectionnumber=no]

\defineenumeration
[subanswer]
[location=hanging,
   headcolor=heavygreen,
   conversion=characters]

\setupenumerations
[subanswer]
[stopper=.]

\defineblock[question,shortanswer,longanswer]
\hideblocks[shortanswer,longanswer]

Now back in business.

Although what is still needed here is a way of "hiding" subanswers.  
Suggestions are welcome.

no, after all, it just sets an extra period (stopper)

keep in mind that putting complex code in there (esp unbalanced 
grouping) will never work with stoppers

Re: Oh no! Never update in the middle of a project. I am in trouble.

[David Arnold]

So,

Wait a couple days and upload Context beta again from Gerben's site?  
Stopper problem will then be fixed?
