And my fingerloop braiding suite idea was well received, so it looks like ConTeXt will be present at Braids 2012 in August (http://www.braidsociety.com/confer.htm); not as a talk, but as finished materials, in poster form and, obviously, on my computer. > (btw, a talk about this will fit nicely in the upcoming eurotex theme) I think I already happened to promise that to Taco... I guess the title of my talk is now "TeXtile craft" or "TeXtiles" or something like that. You still time to make a wish or two. :-) Definitely hooked on MetaPost, Mari ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
