Let's distinguish typographical engineering from typographical programming. This will not be a book on the latter per se. Typographical engineering can be done by a non-programmer -- structured and automated processing using the high-level commands of Context. Typographic programming is an advanced topic, for which this book can serve as an introduction.
Thanks for the distinction. In that case, I think this is even better.
For typographic programming, of course the TeXBook is, if no indispensable, then extremely useful.
And for typographical engineering? From your distinction, that is much more what I am looking for.
Can you explain what you mean by "appendix on workflows"?
Sorry, I meant "editor workflows with ConTeXt" (ie "Authoring in Notepad++").
A community model for feedback on the book would be useful. I don't want it too open at the moment -- can slow down development and I want to get this DONE. But maybe a select audience of test-able volunteers will be the way to go... thnx for that suggestion!
Please let me know if I can help. Given the suitability of this book's angle to what I am doing and the level I'm working from I do think my perspective can be useful.
