Hi,

After going through the suggested reading "This Way", sep 2011 
(http://pragma-ade.com/show-mag-15.htm) in relation to this topic it was 
time to do some tests!

Well, I stumbled on the very first basic problem! Using the 
\useexternalfile[logical_name][filename] resulted in an Undefined 
control sequence ... error message!?

Anybody any suggestions about the syntax of this command?! The 
description in the reference part of the ConTeXt Garden wiki site is not 
of much help to me either, sorry!

Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

P.S. Currently using ConTeXt  ver: 2012.01.25 14:16 MKIV  fmt: 
2012.1.30  int: english/english

I think this is a typo in the manual and Hans meant the \useexternaldocument command because \useexternalfile was removed from MkIV and had a different purpose.

Hi,

Well yes, the \useexternaldocument works, but not for example the 
\in-command!

When I for example use \useexternaldocument[tst][test][A test external] 
together with \from[tst] the test.pdf file is correctly opened in 
Acrobat Reader.

But the \in{section}[tst::def] doesn't open the test.pdf file at all?! 
The jump to the 'def' section doesn't seem to work! Please take a look 
at the two included test files.

Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

Hi,

Again I want to focus on the cross-document referencing issue that is 
not working as expected (see example files on first mail in this thread)!

I don't know whether this feature is still available in MkIV, because up 
till now no reactions have been given regarding this problem!

Currently I'm planning a project and want to make use of this 
cross-document referencing feature.

Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

Hi,

The cross-document referencing feature that I want to apply in a new 
project is not working with the current MkIV release, as I've tried to 
explain in this thread!

I'm wondering why this thread, no responses up till now, doesn't seem to 
trigger any attention! Is this referencing issue perhaps trivial or...?!

Regards,
Gerard Verhaag
