There are some packages, but where LaTeX needs packages to add basic functionality, ConTeXt contains everything you need and provides abundant hooks to get almost all the functionality you want. LaTeX packages bite each other sometimes, no such thing with ConTeXt. And yes, ConTeXt has longtables. > (c). Quite a many journals accept latex files for publication > purposes. So latex is quite a convenient tool for writing > papers. What do the folks who use context do with regard > to this? Do they use latex when it comes to writing papers? Yes. Because in this case layout is less important so if it looks awful, it's no problem. Get ConTeXt for the really beautiful documents. Groetjes, Berend. (-:
