Hello folks, I have been playing around with Context for over a month and I think it is a fantastic tool. Comparing it with LaTex it is a more general tool and gives you far more options. Now, I was wondering if any Context user has created photobooks with contexts and how they went about doing it. I would love to hear people's experiences. Thanks in advance, Fidel.

I have not create a photobook with Context, but I think that the figure library is an excellent way to create a photobook. Have a look at the figure library manual. You can have thumbnails, with a brief discription, which link to the main page. Aditya

No, no photobooks, but I have made different other books which include figures/foto's and text. Some of them are even arranged into sections. - So if you could be more specific on waht you want to achieve ... Kind regards Willi
I have just implemented something like this using layers. I store templates
in a db which show where photos can go on a page and then allow users to put
photos on the page. If you are interested contact me directly and I can
show you what I have done to have context typeset the images. Some of the
information is on the context wiki, but I have not finished updating it.
The system allows users to select any size of book and the templates adjust
accordingly. The front end allowing the users to place the photos is not
quite done yet.
