Subject: [NTG-context] As a person with very basic LaTeX skills, no experience with programming languages and an interest in LMTX (I have been coding extremely basic LMTX), how do I properly learn LMTX as a beginner to any coded language?
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2024 06:02:31 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <172715775180.1695.4318377523468699631@cgl.ntg.nl> (raw)

I am someone who knows very basic LaTeX (I mostly learned with YouTube videos, but I would also honestly use AI to generate some code that I wanted it to make), extremely basic LMTX, and nothing like C++ or anything that I think would be considered "proper" programming languages. I have an interest in learning the newest edition of ConTeXt, but I am not sure if there is anything that could even guide a beginner wanting to learn the newest edition of ConTeXt (I believe MKIV and LMTX are regarded as being quite different). I want to get out of the habit of using AI to make stuff for me and to truly understand LMTX, but how can I do so if I seemingly do not have much understanding of ... I'll say "coding" in general? It is sometimes hard for me to read the documentation on ConTeXt garden, and I don't understand some things, but is this due to my lack of experience of looking at documentation? I would love any advice given to me.
