Hi,
Firstly this is my first post :) (and it's going to be long), i've been
using context for about a week or two and it's wonderful i like
particularly like the approach of having everything built into the core.
Just for reference i'm running fedora 9 64bit with texlive and i'm also new
to TeX meaning that i've never bothered to study LaTeX thoroughly (as i was
mainly concerned about just getting my content straight) and redefining
macros was highly annoying, but things have changed now.
Anyhow enough ranting i've got a few questions to ask.
1. CONTEXT, an excursion
general/manuals/mp-cb-en.pdfgeneral/manuals/ms-cb-en.pdf
The Manual
general/manuals/cont-enp.pdfgeneral/manuals/cont-eni.pdf
It's in the details
general/manuals/details.pdf
i) when are the manuals going to be updated?
ii) details.pdf looks very interesting, i assume it's not finished
right? any status info?
2. CONTEXT MkII & MkIV
general/manuals/mk.pdf
i've slightly confused as to what LuaTeX is, could someone please
explain it. from what i've gathered it seems like it supports the use of
OpenType fonts natively like XeTex and it's going to be merged into pdfTeX?
3. Fonts
general/manuals/mfonts.pdf and general/manuals/mtexfont.pdf
Is is worth reading these manual since LuaTeX---as i've
understood---is going to support them natively and i'm never going to have
to install fonts again?
4. Typographic Programming
general/manuals/style.pdf
Any idea when the final release of this document is due, i'd like
to make a print out.
5. Is there a book on ConTeXt, that is available for purchase from
somewhere like amazon. if not does anyone know of a good (and cheap)
printshop in London? I'd like to print out the manuals.
6. I forgot to ask, is there anything written about bibliography support?
preferably through BibTeX.
Thanks alot and great work
