Re: [NTG-context] The ConTeXt book

Yes, that's indeed good to know. My MAIN problem with mkiv is that I can't get interaction bars working. I posted two basic setups a while ago, and while they work fine in mkii, they fail in mkiv. Never got a response ... Matthias On Apr 2, 2010, at 10:12 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

well, i use mkiv exclusively so that might be a sign that it's not that bad; the main issue is to keep mkiv and luatex in sync

Good to know :)

I would much prefer mkiv as well, as luatex seems much easier to grok than TeX. I have the luck to be entering typographical programming at a new stage. To what degree can luatex be relied on to accomplish all that TeX macros can? Does certain functionality still require TeX code?

the same and more, it's still tex but we can now extend using lua so we can go beyond what normal tex can do
