Yes, that's an important point. Many times the options I'm searching  
for are not documented: so, or I'm able to find an example in wiki/ 
mailing list or probably it would be easy to take a look to the  
sources, I guess.
I know it's far from being polite, but really I'd like to have a "How- 
to-find-your-way-thru-the-source Tutorial for total newbie". On my  
mac, they are hidden: so, first step, change your visualization  
preferences thru a googled script form Terminal. Second, the (in) 
famous tex tree structure is far from being clear for me. Third, and  
most important, how to extract infos from sources?

This is my main (only) frustration with ConTeXt,

Just 2c

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
