Okay, I'll answer part of my own question, because some more concentrated looking helped at least get some of the structure: I believe Adam Lindsay said this around Sun, 27 Oct 2002:
finding mappings between nl-commando's and en- commands is still elusive when trying to decode some multilingual sources.
I don't know how I missed this, but mult-com.tex gives exactly that. A run through "texexec --pdf --module" gave a very nice guide. Similarly, context.tex gives a very clear idea of which modules get loaded in which order. I think syst-gen.tex will give me a good start on the ConTeXt "style" that I was looking for, but if anyone has any further advice on understanding the source code philosophy or on writing modules, it's very welcome. Is there central documentation that maps the source code names to something more understandable? (e.g. colo-*.tex => color macros cont-*.tex => language format generation java-*.tex => javascript support *-ini.tex => initialization ) I've figured it out myself, but want to know if there was an easier way of finding this information than doing "head -20" on a bunch of files. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Adam Lindsay +44(0)1524 594 537 atl@comp.lancs.ac.uk http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/atl/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
