But one good help would be an option ordering them by topic. For example, a while back I needed a rotation command, and the manual does not discuss many of the graphics capabilities of ConTeXt. I finally found \rotate combing through the base files (it's not in cont-eni.pdf). It would be very useful to know all such graphics commands in ConTeXt. The organization of the Reference Manual of Lamport's book on LaTeX, or even the end-of-chapter command summaries of cont-eni.pdf, is a good model for this. So if I am looking for a graphics command I can look purely alphabetically as it is now, as well as topically, which is sometimes more useful. A related point; in ConTeXt the bar <|> is an active character, which is not Plain behavior. A list of these little special characters would be useful as well, especially for macro writers, etc. In any case, this list of commands is a great contribution, and a topical organization would make it greater:=) All the best Idris
