However, judging from the documentation on your site, some features that I have read about in LaTeX - such as drop caps, complex headers, cross references, several series of footnotes etc
(i.e. the packages "lettrine", "fancyhdr",
These two should be no problem. The dropped caps might need some fine tuning. (Just looked in the The LaTeX Companion, lettrine has some nice options for making the layout look 'right' - I don't think these are in ConTeXt)
"varioref" and "ledmac") - don't seem to be available in ConTeXt.
I haven't seen anything like varioref in ConTeXt. For those who don't know LaTeX: it create a reference like "See fig. 3 on the following page" from a single command (See fig.~\vref{fig:myfig}.). I never looked into ledmac and alike, so I have no idea if this is available in ConTeXt. Patrick -- (moving soon:) texshow-web: http://members.ping.de:8061 ConTeXt wiki: http://members.ping.de:8062
