Appreciate your response, though as you said I do not really understand what I have to do, or if I could do anything. But a few things, (1) Regarding the visual examples, I could post the PDF file generated with Latex and Context. Is there a way to do that on this list? I noticed another difference, which is that the line spacing is slightly more in the Context document (compared to that compiled with Latex). In latex I chose \singlespacing. In Context, I did not change the default spacing. Is the default spacing different than singlespacing? (2) I was going to ask about the math support. You mentioned that it would have to be added to the typescript. How difficult is that? Does anyone know the commands that can be used for adding such support. Thanks. p.s. - BTW thanks very very much to the creators of Context for presenting us with this wonderful tool. I hope I can use it more and more for my work to create beautiful document. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
