I think this way, I can avoid language conflicts. Do the Dutch people agree or is it normal to use the dutch words. Most of my texts are in Dutch, so the spelling and hypenating language should remain Dutch. I did texexec --make en, but my standard language interface is still nl. It only works with texexec --int=en. How do I specify the default? - The DVI files produced with context show up completely blank in KDVI. They do work in Xdvi, and my Latex files always worked in Kdvi as well. Who's to blame? - Most of the work I plan to make with context are small (<20pages) reports. Mostly text with some tables and pictures, and a few graphs. Is context the program to handle this, or should I choose latex? After a quick look at the docs, it seems context is easier to do most things. Is this correct? Thanks for your opinions! -- Wouter Verheijen wouter.verheijen@worldmail.nl
