And don't forget all the problems of SF - slow, overcrowded servers etc. It would be very unconvenient for Hans - and as we know he has enough=20 work. And, Maurice, remember: Is there any complete LaTeX manual? No, there isn't - there are lots of books on different levels, most of them keep errors or describe old or obsolete packages or techniques. And every package has its own docs that you should read - some are books itself (e.g. komascript). So there's a lot more in the "basic" ConTeXt manual than in most LaTeX books! Sure, it could always be more & better... I agree that the whole plethora of single docs isn't really overviewable. But otherwise they're a nice demonstration of ConTeXt's capabilities - and I guess Hans meant them to be. Gr=FC=DFlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/=
