Re: [NTG-context] Seeking a Deeper ConTeXt: Questions for Initializing

my personal favourite http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/44368/focus=46254, beware you might have trouble getting that to compile with a new version of LuaTeX. John Haltiwanger wrote:

I am not averse to rolling my own, I am just confused why, if environments are so powerful and flexible (flexible meaning one can easily change things, unlike document classes), there are no pre-rolled environments available. I am thinking here of standardized thesis environments for universities, or a nice letter environment to demonstrate the beauty of TeX.

There are a lot of letter styles are available for ConTeXt, what's wrong with them?

Thank you for those! I had not come across them yet. I was responding to Henning's statement that "there are nearly no ready-to-use ConTeXt environments available". In fact I realize I had misread that until right now, having missed the 'nearly' that qualifies the statement. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, I don't want it to seem like I don't enjoy rolling my own documents. While I'm new at it, I quite like interfacing with documents in this 'programming' way.

Thank you, John C. Haltiwanger
