As all the experts have answered your question, let a non-expert join in.
The single frustrating element of context is the documentation. I use context now for many years (not on a daily basis though) for writing journal papers, posters, presentations etc. I think it is a great package. and the community is very active in helping solving problems. But documentation is scattered in differnt pdf files, in different places.
Either there are secret goodies that I don't know or you are just wrong!
You can have it all by using one adress (how can this be more comfortable with LaTeX?):
That's it.
Here you can get further to ...
- all manuals authored by PRAGMA: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/The_ConTeXt_Way -> http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm - all docs written by Hans: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/This_Way - all doc written by users: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/My_Way - all the email ever written on this list: http://archive.contextgarden.net/splash/index.html - all the source ConTeXt is: http://source.contextgarden.net/
Think of contextgarden being the documentation and these above being chapters.
You only have to turn the pages by yourself ... is this asked too much?!
I am a happy context user for several years and have read all the documentation. But one thing I still find is that the documentation for a command (when it exists at all) can list 20 parameters, of which only a couple are explained. I often still have no idea what the others do. The meaning may be obvious to typography or tex professionals, but not to me unfortunately. If they have standard meanings perhaps they could be hyperlinked to an explanation page? -- John Devereux
