I've been meaning to do this for some time, but haven't had a chance. I'd like to use ConTeXt. Does anyone have a sample source I could take a look at as a starting point? I will need to typeset some figures, pseudo code, references, etc. and this all takes much less time when someone much more clever than I, like Wolfgang or Hans already has a similar environment file and such setup.

At the moment, I am writing my MD thesis using ConTeXt. I have equations, figures, tables, diagrams, references. There is also Lua code embedded to prepare data tables from CSV files, round values etc. Of course, there is a lot in my files that you will not need. The organization of my files (preamble files, chapter files) may not be suitable for your project. The format of my document (thesis) may not be what you want (journal article?). On these grounds, I do not think it is a good idea to take the files from somebody else and alter them. I know this is common in the LaTeX community, and I have seen many times that it leads to inconsistent settings, conflicting packages and other problems. Instead, I suggest you to start with an empty file and add everything *you* need. However, if you really want, I can try to strip down my files and send you a basic sample.

Thanks a lot anyways for the offer.
