I totally agree with the comparison you made of ConTeXt and LaTeX: With ConTeXt, you can produce something unique. With LaTeX, your document will look like a traditional research paper! -----Message d'origine----- De : ntg-context-bounces@ntg.nl [mailto:ntg-context-bounces@ntg.nl] De la part de Nikolai Weibull Envoyé : vendredi 4 novembre 2005 17:32 À : ntg-context@ntg.nl Objet : Re: [NTG-context] Mini-survey: What do you do with ConTeXt?

What do you do with ConTeXT?
I use ConTeXt for any document that I figure someone will want to print out on paper some day. This includes resumes, letters, and articles. I even considered typesetting software documentation with ConTeXt, but havent yet decided if PDFs are the right medium for that kind of text. I also typeset my masters thesis using ConTeXt and probably spent as much time hacking ConTeXt as I did on doing actual work for the content. Not because ConTeXt couldnt do what I wanted, but because ConTeXt allowed me to do anything I wanted. Having a lot of options can be time-consuming, as you want to try them all before deciding on the one that works best. This is both the good and the bad thing about ConTeXt. You can tweak and tweak and tweak, whereas with something like LaTeX you have a few boring designs and you just choose the one that suits the type of document your writing. And your document will look like five million other research papers outh there. I wanted something unique and ConTeXt was just the right tool for it. nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!
