do
texexec --module FILE
basically (you need the dutch format file for this though),

I have figured out that there is a way to print out the
internal documentation of the various Context modules in a
manner that makes some sense. I first use grep to extract
all the %D lines of a module into a separate file e.g.,
foo.tex. Then I eliminate the %D tag from all lines using
Vim. I add \starttext and \stoptext statements. Then I run
texexec --pdf foo.tex.
The result is imperfect but more or less intelligible. It
seems to me that there might be a script buried somewhare
in the system that does this better. If so, what is it
called?

Faster than grep: texutil --documents texfile.tex
produces a TeX file called texfile.ted

Try: texexec --module --pdf file
where FILE is a ConTeXt MP/PL/TEX file
This combines texutil --documents with texexec --pdf.

Hi all,
though I'm not 100 \% certain, I think this behavior came up in the
latest release of ConTeXt. For my manuscripts for talks, I have defined
a nice little counter like this
\newcounter\slidecounter
\define\sln{\increment\slidecounter \color[red]{[\slidecounter]} }
which allows me to just type \sln when I want to mark a spot where I
want to show a new slide, and it will give the number in red, between
brackets. OK, this has been working for quite a while, but recently, I
have observed a strange behavior: if I use the command within an
itemize-group, it will count normally, but after the \stopitemize, the
counter will be reset to the value before the itemization. I can't
swear to it, but I'm reasonably certain that this wasn't the case
before. Is it possible that something was broken, Hans?
Best wishes (especially to our new fellow-citizens)
Thomas

use \doglobal\increment instead
(also, use names like \Sln so that there will never be conflicts with
existing macros; i wouldnot be surprised if there will be a math function
sln some day)

Hans, thanks, works as expected!

Darn, caught in the act! Promise I will be a good boy next time ;-)
