I am very much a ConTeXt beginner and so I don't feel capable of reading the documentation to find ConTeXt-related errors or omissions. However, I would be glad to help by looking for typos, spelling errors, etc. (Actually, I rarely find spelling errors in the documentation but sometimes I see phrasing and grammar that isn't wrong, but "sounds funny" to a native English speaker.) Due to a long commute on the train I find myself with plenty of time for reading, so I'd be glad to help in any way I can. I am sorry that you have felt unsupported in your efforts to update the documentation; I am one of the users who (silently) wishes for more up to date documents but has done nothing to help. > > 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 I will start with these. > > 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. Perhaps someone who is able to compile the manual could upload pdf copies? > Best wishes, > Taco Thanks for all your work on ConTeXt, Taco (and Hans of course, along with Aditya, Wolfgang, et al.)
