[...] I understand your hesitation to do that work by hand. You are right, it should be easy to do that automatically. But I think ConTeXt, mighty as it is, is not the right tool to do that merging. How about a small perl script
Dear Pablo, that does the merging? In fact, any programming language should do, if the breakpoints are really as easy to spot as you suggest. And then ConTeXt can do the typesetting without the need to keep 600+ pages of read-but-not-yet-processed text in memory before it receives the second half so it can start typesetting...
Dear Susan, many thanks for your reply. These examples were only ways to learn ConTeXt to me. No real work. Although I'm interested in a bilingual Homer edition (just investigating). Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
