if you plan to use context for a long time and want to be save with respect to fonts and encodings, i'd gamble on mkiv (here we use mkiv for everything but also run mkiv in projects that started year sago and have to run fo rmay years to come); in general it's no big deal to switch from mkii to mkiv later
2. Should I use context or texexec? As I understand, this is the same as asking whether to use pdftex or luatex. It may also be related to the mkii/mkiv issue, but I am less sure of that.
context is a lua script and mkiv needs that one; texexec targets at mkii; in principle you can use contet to run mkii as well, as it will just call texexec; i have no time now (nor much reason) to convert the bit of code that mkii needs to lua, otherwise texexec could be dropped concerning the 35 docs with 100's of pages ... the more docs and pages, the more time you can spend on a proper style setup (and investigation); anyhow, we use mkiv for small docs (manuals) as well as for handling large collections for customers (tens of thousands of different pages, spread over hundreds of documents, to be assembled in any combination or subset) and so far it works out ok, even if it's beta Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
