While starting ConTeXt, I found ConTeXt an excrusion and ConTeXt = manual to be extremely well written, much better than what I had read = for LaTeX (but then, I never bought a LaTeX book). What do you find = missing in the ConTeXt documentation that a book should cover? I know = that there are certain places where the documentation is a bit old and = outdated, but given the pace at which ConTeXt is developed, that will = happen with any reference book. Aditya
