I agree I would be a very nice thing to have! The main LaTeX "classes" to emulate would be: - article - rapport - book But this is much work for somebody who is more interested by the content of its document than by the envelope. So this thing (context template) will take much time in collaborating. What kind of stuff do we need for, say, an "article" LaTeX class? \usemodule[latex] \usemodule[latexarticle] This should modify the behavior of all the \section like command, the \startitemize, add some \newtheorem emulation, a decent defaut table of content listing ... Where to start - define a name for the module (e.g. [latexarticle]), - begin an empty template module, - perhaps there should be a common module for all LaTeX emulation which would be called by all "laTeX classes" emulation ? - start the "to ask for / fill request point" cycle ?
