Both are extensions from my point of view. Even if math is "typical" for TeX, it's not typical for ConTeXt. I think the typical university user is content with LaTeX. ConTeXt is for those who like to design their own layout. I seldom need any formula - TeX/ConTeXt is for me simply the system of choice for big documents (books), presentations and everything scriptable.

Yes, that's confusing. I made an overview in my german docs, will transfer it to the Wiki soon. >> And every latex package has its own docs that you should read - some >> are books itself (e.g. komascript). > Doen't know about it, doen't need it, so I'm glab it is not in > the latex manuals :-) The KOMA classes are an enhanced replacement for the standard LaTeX=20 classes my Markus Kohm.

Again, I don't think that bibliographies are basic. But I'm no scientific user. Gr=FC=DFlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/=
