The last days I had to edit Python-listings (my scores). \starttyping ... \stoptyping. Fine! but there are no headers. But I need headers. Not easy to understand \setupheads, \setupheaders \setupheader etc. there are no examples given. I re-tried reSt, asciidoc : ugly like Latex. So I wrote a Python-script which reads the Python-score and writes a plain tex file (merci Raymond Seroul et le "Petit livre de TeX" ;-). Nevertheless, ConText beeing the best choice, I am volunteer to help for _french_ (and german) wiki pages in the contextgarden. [...]
