I like the wikimatrix for Wikis and i thought it could be nice to have a simple matrix for TeX.

I started a table in the wiki to collect this knowledge [2], but i am not very happy with this table yet.

I am not sure that such a table will be useful. Feature wise, latex and context are almost equivalent. For a user it makes little difference if a feature is standard or implmented in an external package.

Perhaps do you have ideas, how to improve it?

Perhaps a better way is to update (and wikify) Berend de Boer's LaTeX in proper ConTeXt. Aditya

Hi Jonas, thanks for extending the wiki. For a start I’d like to recommend two things: (1) as this comparison might grow rather large, so I guess it deserves its own page and a catchy lemma under which you would expect this information to be found; (2) the row ‘utf8 in text’ is ambiguous: concerning mkii and latex2e the functionality depends on the tex engine used. Maybe a subdivision of this row could clarify things? Regards, Philipp
