[***SPAM***] Source files for ConTeXt manuals

[honyk]

Dear All,

as a newbie I am investigating various ConTeXt (MkIV) concepts and I feel
that any direct comparison of the source and the final output would help me
a lot.

While in the ConTeXt reference manual I can see e.g. nice side-by-side
framed text blocks, I am lost in various text box, framing or columns
switches and unable to create something similar. 

While in this guide http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/style.pdf I
can see many options for font expansion, something like this is not
applicable to MkIV: 
\setupfonthandling [hz] [min=30,max=30,step=5] 

I've search for doc source in the source browser
http://source.contextgarden.net/ but I still haven't found anything
promising.

Any idea?

I just try to avoid spamming the list with most likely obvious and silly
questions :-)

Regards, Jan

you need to be more explicit in what you want to achieve

it's implemented differently in mkiv (vectors are defined in lua) ... 
font-mkiv.pdf has some info about that

as luatex is a bit more efficient min/max/step are less needed and 
future versions might even be more granular.

all protrusion and expansion is dealt with via features so the 
implementation is mostly in lua code
