For example, it would be nice to know whether there are errors or unclarities in it (or omissions, but that actually does require knowledge). For an easy start, the two pdfs of the "typography" and "fonts" chapters are on-line: http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-typography.pdf http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf The other chapters are a bit harder to comment on because (currently) you have to be able to compile the manual yourself to read the pdfs. Anyway, in and below the same folder are all needed sources: http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en (Maybe someone could put the current full pdf online somewhere?) There also is a mailing list specifically about the new manual: http://lists.foundry.supelec.fr/mailman/listinfo/contextman-reference Best wishes, Taco ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
