I have heard a bit of talk about 'if the manual is updated' or some such like that. I was going to have the manual printed in a book so I have a hardcopy. Is the manual still current and relevant that it would be worth it?
The manual is five years old. the pattern has been to issue additional documentation rather than update the "big" manual. I printed mine out, have it in my manual rack, and it is getting worn out from use.
Worn out from use is one of the better things that can happen to a manual.
You may as well print it out. I have not heard of a new edition pending.
Mmmm, I'm also looking for a printed edition of the ConTeXt manual. Does this ML have publishers subscribed that have some VC to burn? Or does see someone else see a possibilty for a ConTeXt book? Geert Stappers
