I have looked at the user manual of context and liked what I saw there. I was wondering if the readers of this mailing list could help me with the following questions I have regarding context: (a). There are a lot of packages written for latex. Are such packages available for context or is there a need for them? For example, suppose I want to use tables spanning more than a page. Latex has a package available to do this (longtable I believe). Does context support such features? (b). I heavily use psfrag for many of my documents. Does Context have anything similar? (c). Quite a many journals accept latex files for publication purposes. So latex is quite a convenient tool for writing papers. What do the folks who use context do with regard to this? Do they use latex when it comes to writing papers? Thanks. -- Harish __________________________________________________________ Harish Cherukuri Mechanical Engineering & Engineering Science, UNC-Charlotte 9201 University City Blvd, Charlotte NC 28223-0001 US Tel: 704 547 3917| Fax: 704 547 2352 http://www.coe.uncc.edu/~hcheruku __________________________________________________________
