Because of looking for a nice letterspacing solution I had a look at the LaTeX's soul.sty. Melchior Franz wrote that it should also work with ConTeXt:
The soul package Melchior FRANZ May 29, 2002 Abstract This article describes the soul package1, which provides h y p h e n - a t a b l e l e t t e r s p a c i n g ( s p a c i n g o u t ) , underlining and some derivatives such as overstriking and highlighting. Although the package is optimized for LATEX2", it also works with Plain TEX and with other flavors of TEX like, for instance, ConTEXt.
But how? \input soul.sty gives me in ConTeXt:
(/Users/steffen/Library/texmf/tex/latex/misc/soul.sty ! Undefined control sequence. l.49 \NeedsTeXFormat {LaTeX2e} ?
So what what did he mean by "works with"? What is the right way? Thank you for any reply, Steffen
