Hi all,
I have been using ConTeXt/Metapost for presentations for the past year and
I am just starting to write my thesis... I am familiar with TeX macros and
writing LaTeX classes so I could probably hammer out my own 'thesis.cls'
in a few days but there are features of ConTeXt that I now find difficult
to live without! I am looking for a good ConTeXt template document to get
started with that supports the usual assortment of figures, tables,
equations and bibliographic references. Ideally, I would like to be able
to produce PDFs for both screen and print-- much like the ConTeXt manuals.
Anything to get me started would be a great help!
Many thanks,
Randall

Hello,
I don't know if my source is good :-), but you can have a look at my
thesis typeset with ConTeXt, with tables, flowcharts, and bibliography.
Moreover, there is a screen version, too, including the CWEB source code
of my program.
You can get all of that at
http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xantos/patlib
BTW, I think it's much easier to produce paper documents if you know how
to make a presentation for screen :-)

Try the pdftex manual. It's TeX source is in ConTeXt and available
from pragma's website:

indeed, making screen docs is a good exercise for structuring and once
you've made a screen style, paper styles setups look rather simple

A god example of a dual-purpose document is the PdfTex manual, which
is written in Context and is available in source form.
