hi folks, How do they fit together? Is there some sort of architecure chart somewhere so newbies can get a hold within a few seconds? Luatex <==> tex context <==> latex luigi> ok ? nope, I do not get it especially for the latex part. What about this:

+--------------------------+ | ConTeXt, used for | | creating the source | | files to luatex | +--------------------------+ ^ | | | | | +--------------------------+ | luatex, a bunch of | | libraries and whatnot | | which is going to replace| | pdfTeX | | | +--------------------------+ So where do LaTeX and MkIV fit into this?

...

Secondly, now that it seems MkIV is the new star will all my ConTeXt knowledge be obsolete once luatex is going to be used? (Maybe I am just making a fool out of myself even asking this but then I am totally new to this whole subject so ...) luigi> A bit here and there, but not all

Which tells me exactly nothing :-) Actually to rephrase what I meant and to what it boils down: ,----[ Question ] | What will happen to folks like me who just need/want to write great | documents using ConTeXt? `---- If someone could shed some light onto this, I would be very thankful ... For the rest - I took a look at the wiki, ml etc. but those could not answer my question -- usually I try another approach after 2 hours searching around - yes, I am with Linux (DebianGNU/Linux) - GNU Emacs - my adorable cat :-) - a whole pile of ConTeXt manuals to read
