Hi Pablo,

thanks for making this correction, a pebble to improve Wikipedia…

Hi Willi,

I was more interested in not attributing ConTeXt to other person than fixing Wikipedia as first intention.

That being said, it surprises me that so (relatively) many LaTeX users know ConTeXt only by name. That's all relative, isn't it? I know that msword exists and have seen it open but would be in trial and error mode as user. I simply never had a need for it. And I only used latex for one document decades ago, wrapped it into soem macros, and then moved on so basically I only know it by name.

That said, one can recognize anything tex by the backslash and curly braces (and editors etc highlighting helps). So I can recognize latex (with 99% accuracy when no commands similar to context are used) but then I'd need to buy and read a couple of few thousand page companions to get a moderate complex document done. I'm sure that doesn't surprise Willi. Last context (and bacrhotex) meeting Harald played this 'can you recognize this language' game with the audience. One has to be real old (or curious and collecting languages) to be among the winners. It's all about 'need to use something' and the definition of 'knowing'. I can recognize a tree but name a few.
