Wiki: ConTeXt vs. LaTeX and others

[Jonas Stein]

for many users it is interesting, to get an overview
how problems are solved in ConTeXt compared to the other
TeX-Flavours.

I like the wikimatrix for Wikis and i thought it could be 
nice to have a simple matrix for TeX.

I started a table in the wiki to collect this knowledge [2], 
but i am not very happy with this table yet.

Perhaps do you have ideas, how to improve it?

I am not sure that such a table will be useful. Feature wise, latex and 
context are almost equivalent. For a user it makes little difference if a 
feature is standard or implmented in an external package.

Perhaps a better way is to update (and wikify) Berend de Boer's LaTeX in 
proper ConTeXt.

Hi Jonas,

thanks for extending the wiki. For a start I’d like to recommend
two things:

(1) as this comparison might grow rather large, so I guess it
    deserves its own page and a catchy lemma under which you
    would expect this information to be found;

(2) the row ‘utf8 in text’ is ambiguous: concerning mkii and
    latex2e the functionality depends on the tex engine used.
    Maybe a subdivision of this row could clarify things?

Regards, Philipp
