for many users it is interesting, to get an overview
how problems are solved in ConTeXt compared to the other
TeX-Flavours.
I like the wikimatrix for Wikis and i thought it could be
nice to have a simple matrix for TeX.
I started a table in the wiki to collect this knowledge [2],
but i am not very happy with this table yet.
Perhaps do you have ideas, how to improve it?

Also see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/From_LaTeX_to_ConTeXt and

I am not sure that such a table will be useful. Feature wise, latex and
context are almost equivalent. For a user it makes little difference if a
feature is standard or implmented in an external package.

Perhaps a better way is to update (and wikify) Berend de Boer's LaTeX in
proper ConTeXt.

Hi Jonas,
thanks for extending the wiki. For a start I’d like to recommend
two things:
(1) as this comparison might grow rather large, so I guess it
deserves its own page and a catchy lemma under which you
would expect this information to be found;
(2) the row ‘utf8 in text’ is ambiguous: concerning mkii and
latex2e the functionality depends on the tex engine used.
Maybe a subdivision of this row could clarify things?
Regards, Philipp
