An experienced TeX user who wants to try ConTeXt is more li= kely to try ConTeXt distributed as part of TL rather than ConTeXt standalon= e.

Most of them agree that Co= nTeXt gives a much better result, but when it comes to how to use ConTeXt f= rom TeXLive they are afraid and don't go further. For some of them I have i= nstalled a stand alone ConTeXt, but most of them do not update their instal= lation, since they would not use the most recent features or improvements (= for most of day to day typesettings, when one does not use complexe feature= s, even a beta version is sufficiently stable for such users). I find it interesting, that here and in other posts that is mention that pu= blishers are reluctant = to accept ConTeXt files. O.K. Understandable! But, my experience has been that they will accept PDFs, or prefer PDF over TeX-source files or Word files. regards Keith. ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
