Do you want latex counterparts, in which > case I need some samples. Or don't you want styles at all ... I'm not sure if I'm understanding the question. If you mean: \setupstyle[letter] % ... ... then I don't really have an opinion. But if you mean that you are drawing up a set of example documents illustrating how to achieve a familiar style using ConTeXt commands, then that sounds great. I find myself wondering, e.g., how exactly I would go about setting up headers with running headers showing chapter (for one-sided documents) and chapter/section (for two-sided documents). I know that it will be \setupheadertexts and \setupfootertexts, but I'm unsure of what I'll put in the square brackets. My point is that I would find it helpful to see documents formatted in familiar styles. If you are looking for a sample of a LaTeX article, I have one that's about emacs and programming in Linux that I'd be happy to share. I have some plain-TeX letters, a plain-TeX resume ... let me know. -- --Ed Cashin ecashin@coe.uga.edu
