Hi everyone, looking here and there on the Internet, I found a very interesting document by Aditya Mahajan and Willi Egger: *Beginners Tutorial. ConTeXt *( Tutorial-text.pdf), written in 2008 for the 2nd International ConTeXt User Meeting in Bohinj, Slovenia. This is a very interesting booklet, for me, congratulations to the authors! Are there also the sources of it, somewhere? I'd like to get some ideas for the ConTeXt guide in Italian that I'm planning. In particular, I appreciated the way in which the commands are presented: «do you need to do this? well, the commands that are useful to you are this and that». I really appreciated that. :-) Thank you in advance Thomas

We did not publish the source anywhere, but they are still on my computer. I will send it to you offlist (the zip file is too big to be send on the list). Do keep in mind that these were generated in 2008 (using luaTeX-0.29, before there was split between mkii and mkiv). So, the setup will require some minor changes before it can be used. Aditya

Hello Tommaso, As being one of the authors, yes I have these file still here. — When the second author agrees I can deliver them to you. — However there is a warning to be made, that the project is 10 years old and was built in pdfTeX/ConTeXt MKII. Kind regards Willi

Hi Willi, I sent the files to Thomas (without asking you I am afraid as I never thought that it would be an issue). Aditya

Aditya, no problem, I was of the same idea as you, but I thought it to be correct to ask. But I am fine with you sending the sources to Tommaso! Best Willi
