Leon "Zlajpah should probably be changed to Leon \v{Z}lajpah (or Žlajpah
if in Unicode) (I suppose the information by itself is correct.)

(There's a comment "Use of code page 852 in patterns", which probably 
remained from the "old good DOS times".)

Default encoding? 98% use cp1250, some Linux people use latin2. (well, 
maybe there are still freaks somewhere on this planet using cp852 :)
UTF 8 should be(come) standard, but it is coming pretty slowly.
But writing UTF8 as the default encoding in ConTeXt should be OK.



How can I try it (hyphenation)? I did

\enableregime[utf]
\mainlanguage[sl]
\starttext
Železničar
\showhyphens{Železničar}
\showhyphens{zeleznicar}
\showhyphens{mojca pokrajculja}
\stoptext

It should be že-le-zni-čar (ze-le-zni-car) and moj-ca po-kraj-cu-lja (in 
latex "mojca" is hyphenated wrong anyway), but in ConTeXt the first two 
don't get hyphenated at all and the second one becomes mo-j-ca 
pokra-jcul-ja. I guess the Slovenian patterns are not loaded at all.


One more question about language specific issues: we always write
	1. first section
	2. second section
	2.1. subsection
	2.2. some other subsection
	2.2.1. some subsubsection
(with a dot before the space after every (sub)section). What is the best 
place to store the default settings to? (For all the other Slovenian 
users as well.)


Thank you,
