Subject: docs for beginners
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 10:21:56 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C2361A4.3E08D2A5@salamander.com> (raw)
I am a beginner in the TeX and ConTeXt world, and am of course dazed and
confused. Before asking questions, I wanted to make sure I have all the
docs in English that I should.
My initial installation was from SuSE 7.2; since then I have downloaded
newer versions (including a recent beta) from www.ntg.nl/context/.
Here are the docs I most often refer to:
ConTeXt the manual, January 27, 2000 (cont-enp.pdf)
Getting Started with ConTeXt (no date, old commands?)
(context-getting-started.pdf)
Fonts in ConTeXt, April 2001 (mfonts-beta.pdf)
Plus, the texshow application. (Giuseppe Bilotta mentioned this on
comp.text.tex, else I wouldn't have known about it).
Am I missing anything essential for a beginner? I am getting good
results so far, but I want to use the system properly and make life easy
for myself.
My first project is the prepress work for a collection of short stories
first published in 1895. Text only, pretty simple layout. I like
Computer Modern Roman, but may have to find a different outline font
more appropriate to the subject matter.
Thanks to all...
-Bill
