Hello,
It's ok for me if I compile the Aditya file.
I have another problem with a simple structure. I created the file MyLayout.tex containing the macro and I want to call this macro in the dm1.tex file, but it does not work.
Thank you
Fabrice

Hi Aditya,

Thanks for having sent the example file: indeed with your file I can typeset the example and see the expected result.
I don’t know what happened when I copied and pasted the example from the e-mail…
I think the command
        % macros = mkvi
was not set correctly written at the first line, that is I had a space before the percent sign « % ». In fact
        %macros=mkvi
or
        %macros = mkvi
work as well.

By the way, wouldn’t be more user friendly, and more in the spirit of ConTeXt, if we had a command saying
        \enablemode[mkvi]
in order to tell ConTeXt that we are using %macros = mkvi ?

Best regards: OK

I believe you need to declare the use of MKVI macros as the first thing in your project file if they will be used by any components.
