I had read about the two different versions MkII and MkIV, but did not realise that 'texexec' is the former while 'context' is the latter. > How old was the manual that you were reading? I got that from the "Context Manual" ("Context Manual (cont-eni).pdf"), Section 1.4, which I downloaded quite recently from the website (I have been using Context for less than 2 months). It is dated November 2001, so quite old, you're right. What should I be reading instead? Is there something newer? The reason I switched to "texexec" was this (from the "Context Manual": "During the processing of itemizations the number of items is counted. This is the case with all versions. The next pass this information is used to determine the optimal location to start a new page. So do not despair when at the first parse your itemizations do not look the way you expected. When using TEXexec this is all taken care of." Is this still a problem with "context" or is this problem somehow solved with MkIV anyway? Thank you for all your help; this mailing-list proves very helpful to a novice like me. Regards, Malte.
