Greetings all. I have a passion for typesetting. I found that currently the best typesetting systems are those that are based on TeX. Of them, there are LaTeX, and ConTeXt. LaTeX is very well documented and popular; ConTeXt, on the other hand, is apparently very powerful and capable, but is not as well documented.
There are things that are spectacularly well documented, others that only show hints, and leave it up to the user to figure things out on their own, and others still that won't even compile on a more recent version of ConTeXt (apparently the proper way to access a counter's value in ConTeXt is to use \getnumber or \convertednumber, and not \getcounter. That's just an example).
This is wrong, the counter commands are official and the number variants are kept for backwards compatibility with old styles. Wolfgang
