The problems is converting from what-to-what, why, and how For serious work you should have a full Adobe suite, at least to minimize "political" problems with your boss and customers. And I raccomand mkii because it's stable -- but keep an eye on mkiv because is the "future today". So can also happen that mkiv is waht you need *now* . > I am fine with an answer of "see > the source code" if that is really it. TeX is a programming language, and ConTeXt too. Programming is a difficult task, and typographic programming is a difficult task of programming. If you are fine with reading the source, it's really ok that you start to read the source now because there are many and many examples. (if so, of course you should be able to make a short and working example by yourself too, because wiki is full of smal working examples). -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
