Hi luigi

Actually, my module should not be called as "module," it's just an extension to Hans' Chinese module. My module only defined some macros to handle some strange needs of Chinese traditional book style. Hans' "\startvertical . . . \stopvertical" pair couldn't typeset that style very well, so I \setupunicodefont[chinese] to change its command option and define my own commands to handle chinese glyphs to avoid conflictions.

A module need not be big. Even small code, which is not trivial and will be frequently used should be released as a module. See http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/m-narrowtt.tex Surely, you module will have more lines of code :)

I really hope Hans could add my module as a third part module in case some Chinese guys could typeset nice traditional Chinese books.

I can not understand a word of chinese, but the output looks beautiful. After you have cleaned up the code, release it on modules.contextgarden.net and add a page on the wiki about chinese (if there is one), so that the new users can find the module more easily.

Before that, I will cleasing some rubbish---actually, a lot---of my module. What else should I do?

Add some documentation, both for the user interface and explaining your code. The documentation can be written as comments starting with %D and can be processed using texexec --module filename. Aditya

I hope somebody who is interested in Chinese could help me to release my module. My 2 cents
