Hi,

I'm new to ConTEXt.

I downloaded the misc documents and start reading the manual.

After having read about 50 pages, I find all this very interesting, but is there a more printer-friendly version of the manual ?

The screen-oriented layout of the documents is nice to show what ConTEXt can do, but my eyes soon get tired when reading long documents on a screen. I also don't need the navigation links when printing the manual.

hmm, usually pdfs are printabl; maybe you are seeing some slides only Have a look at http://www.pragma-ade.com/dir

hmm, not here but in show-gra-1.htm ---------------------------------------------------

This is our 1998 christmas card graphic. It visualizes the count down to the millenium. It's a real count down: there are 12 60 clocks.

Hi, Thanks for your answer Luigi. I know that PDF are printable, but the main manual (cont-eni.pdf in English) has much redundant information for printing, like all the navigation links. I would like saving paper with a layout better adapter for printing. With only the text of the chapters that displays on the left side and if possible in portrait-oriented A4 format. Is there some way keeping only the main text and reshaping the paper with Ghostscript/GSView, Scribus or such tools ? Was this job already done by some user ? Thanks. Julien 2009/9/7 luigi scarso :

doable with ghostscript I believe, but I don't know exactly switches If you find them...

Thanks a lot.

I had missed. That's right cont-enp.pdf is the manual for printing. 2009/9/7 Wolfgang Schuster :
