I would really appreciate the ability for Context to be used to generate HTML docs... and like John I've a bunch of documents to convert. (My "evil-twin" has just appeared and said: if you can squeeze HTML out of Context, why not go the whole hog and produce HTML that can then be put through the MS HTML Help compiler... that way, you can use ConTeXt for PDF, HTML, and HTMLHelp production!) I've recently started to use Context, and whilst I could never really 'get into' TeX or LaTeX, I'm really having fun with Context, although I am having a few newbie problems! Some of the things that have me confused: I've wrapped the structure of my document with \startfrontmatter ... \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter ... \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter and \stopbackmatter What I want to do is have the page numbering in the front matter be in roman, in the body start at 1 and be in arabic, and in the back matter continue in arabic. How would I do this? Also, prior to the \startfrontmatter I enclose within \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup a bunch of commands to generate my title pages... is this correct? I've got a documement that uses defines (like \def\DOCTYP{Functional Specification for Release 2002.11}). If I then delete the define and try to texexec I get a lot of errors... if I delete all the temporary files then texexec works... I assume this is some kinda texexec problem? And finally (this is probably for Hans Hagen), after trolling through all the Context documentation, I'd like to know more about Hasselt! Is there a whole book about it, or did you just make up the bits of text? Regards, David Somers
