Recently I was intrigued by ConTeXt. I knew ConTeXt time ago, and I was always impressed by its apparent flexibilty, simplicity and the good results t produced. However, I was afraid of trying it, because I'm Spanish, and I thought that ConTeXt will not have as good support as LaTeX for the spanish language. Recently, I decided finally to download ConTeXt and give it a try. After a few days reading the (excellent) documentation and trying some examples, I finally discovered that ConTeXt has a good Spanish support. That was great! I have to write a PhD thesis, and I'm considering switching to ConTeXt for doing this, however I'm a bit afraid of doing so. My main concerns are the support for BibTeX and for high mathematics typesetting. If I'm not wrong, ConTeXt is based in Plain TeX, so I wonder if I can use AMSTeX with ConTeXt. Which would be your advise? Thank you for any answer, and please, excuse my english. Best Regards, -- Jose mailto:jldiaz@telecable.es
