So, even if a command reference could be read online (or in source = code ;-), An extended user manual (e.g. equivalent to the old manual + the = official tabular system, + ...) is still needed. A ConTeXt book would provide a stable base for learning ConTeXt. The ConTeXt version would also serve as basis for features, and any future online docs could be classified as "before" (read "obsolete") or "after" the context book. Also all ConTeXt features from the book should be suppose to work except if mentioned in an online correction documentation. P.S. I don't use any more ConTeXt for some raison (I come back to LaTex) But I keep looking at the mailing list and I hope to come back to = ConTeXt some months later. I keep thinking that ConTeXt is the future of LaTeX! -- Maurice ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
