in LaTeX, there is quite a useful package called "lipsum", for typesetting varioud amounts of "Lorem ipsum" stuff. Is there anything like that in ConTeXt? (I know about \input knuth, \input tufte etc., but that is not exactly what I have in mind, especially when giving a sample of some design to a customer;).)
You can use the visual module for generating “fake” text or the dum MP module for dummy figures. Example: % fake words \usemodule [visual] % for colourful dummy figures \useMPlibrary [dum] \setupindenting [yes, medium] \starttext \fakenwords{100}{200} \externalfigure [dummy] % Rumours say, Mojca used this feature for her thesis \simplethesis \stoptext
are there any recommendations for people wanting to learn to write a (simple) module for ConTeXt (other than the relevant wiki page)?
Have a look at the existing modules. Marco
