Sample code: a textbook

Sample code: a textbook

[Jörg Hagmann]

Some time ago, I showed a few sample pages of a biochemistry textbook I 
wrote in ConTeXt. I now uploaded the setup file with comments in 
ContextGarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Biochemistry_textbook). I 
hope that it will be useful for beginners---I found examples helpful myself.

A comment regarding the ongoing documentation discussion:
The "Excursion" is basically excellent, I also love its Wordsworthian 
title; keep it! All that's needed is a few corrections and additions. 
Just an example: Based on "Excursion", you wouldn't be able to indent 
paragraphs. You'll find the answer in the FAQs, where a beginner 
probably wouldn't look for it (he/she would probably just give up).

Cheers, Jörg

those docs wil not go away; the docu discussion concerns the big (huge, 
extreme) merged thing (probably unprintable thick too -)

Willi and I are planning to use Excursion as a basis for the  
beginner's tutorial at Bohinj. We can keep track of things that are  
wrong in the Excursion, and correct them after the meeting at Bohinj.

indeed, it could also serve as a template for more such examples
