reuse of LaTeX code

reuse of LaTeX code

[Viktor Tron]

Dear List users,

I just heard about ConTeXt on the lingtex list.
I am a rather old and experienced Latex user, and, although rather
unsatisfied, I have tons of latex sources for constant reuse.
My first questions are
Is there any hope that I can painlessly reuse my Latex code in Context?
Is there any hope that I can ever use Latex styles (some more complicated
macro defs) in Context?

Thanks for help.

Viktor

Hardly.

No.

Have a look at Bill's beginner's page at 
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html
and read Berend's "LaTeX into proper ConTeXt" script at 
http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt.pdf

Grüßlis vom Hraban!
