ConTEXt - produced book

ConTEXt - produced book

[Jörg Hagmann]

Dear list members,

My biochemistry textbook has been published by orell füssli as an UTB 
book. I would like to thank all the members of this list, and Hans in 
particular, for their help (acknowledgements in the "Thank you" section 
of the book as well).

You'll find a few sample pages under:
www.ogbasel.ch/context.html (2.5MB)

Page and margin sizes prescribed by the publisher. The pages illustrate:

p. 7: The use of inmargin text.
p. 79: a "vignette", in the margin and partially in the text area.
p. 110: The height of some margin figures  was  large, necessitating 
manual adjustments.
p. 145: A framed box and a wide table. The large number of enumerations, 
figures, frames etc. made some  typographical sins inevitable (e.g. last 
line on this page).
p. 155: textbody and margin completely filled
p. 190: I include this page for Willi and Thomas
p. 235: Some chapters end with what students really need to know (red 
background). This is the end of the chapter on nutrition
p. 239: The "Toolbox" contains framed figures without a legend.

I wouldn't - I've a shelf full of development books but always only
use online docs. In this area books simply are too slow.

A book is not at all a repository of code or a reference.
It can be foundational, and in that case you'll just keep on reading  
for many years.
(the TeX Book)

A serious update and expansion of the manual would be enough.

:-)))

I guess that with the upcomming luatex, mkiv or other lua-metapost,  
there
will never be a context book!?
... but I hope there will be a "mark" (or any next conTeXt name) book

ConTeXt is not a simple language library, but a full typing system
which need a true documentation.
So, even if a command reference could be read online (or in source  
code ;-),
An extended user manual (e.g. equivalent to the old manual + the  
official
tabular system, + ...) is still needed.

A ConTeXt book would provide a stable base for learning ConTeXt.
The ConTeXt version would also serve as basis for features, and any
future online docs could be classified as "before" (read "obsolete")
or "after" the context book.

Also all ConTeXt features from the book should be suppose to work
except if mentioned in an online correction documentation.

P.S.
I don't use any more ConTeXt for some raison (I come back to LaTex)
But I keep looking at the mailing list and I hope to come back to  
ConTeXt
some months later.
I keep thinking that ConTeXt is the future of LaTeX!

Why, the interface will not change, you shouldn't notice any difference
between pdfTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX.

MkIV has a new method (xml setups) to use XML files but the old one
(xml definitions) could be used without problems.

Font setup changed slightly with MkIV but this happened also for XeTeX
a few times in the past.

The rest conceirns only bug fixes or new features.

You could try to merge the big manual and the starter manual.

The sources are available only.

None of ConTeXt's manuals are obsolete, the big manuals provides
the basic for daily works and the other manual cover special topics
like colummns, integrations of MetaPost ...

mkii and mkiv are just version tags, it's still context

if there is to be a book, it will be about context mkiv (less hassle 
with  encodings and funny chars and ...)
