Re: river detection

["Frans Goddijn" <frans@iaf.nl>]

That would be nice, detections of the "rivers of white". A while ago I had
one perfectly vertical "river" in a short paragraph, freakish, not a river,
a steel straight canal!

But if I could make a wish or three  I'd have

1) a printed ConTeXt manual
   (with plenty explicit examples showing not only the
    "idea" of the method but full head-to-tail ready to
     cut-and-paste actually working examples...)

2) a perfectly simple single command like
    "texexec font tim" to auto-install
   all tim*.afm/.pfb files in a given directory ;=}}

3) "texexec create masterpiece mcNab "
     yielding in auto-expand a truly original nobel
     prize winning novel, that wrote itself in the style
     of Nabokov and was autoformatted, with
     protruding characters of course (I could live
     with any meandering rivers of white then... ;=}}}
