Up-to-date documentation / tutorials. Where?
Hello community, I have been (unsuccessfully) hunting for up-to-date tutorials/documentation on ConTeXt/LuaTeX/METAPOST. What I find is sites that for instance end in 2011. documentation that is from 2013, or on Pragme-ADE a show-man.pdf PDF with an overview of documentation that doesn’t open any underlying document. Is there not a simple place to get all the up-to-date documentation? G
Hi,
Is there not a simple place to get all the up-to-date documentation?
maybe not what you are looking for, but I think the list at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/448812/the-definitive-guide-to-conte... is very helpful.

Hello community,
I have been (unsuccessfully) hunting for up-to-date tutorials/documentation on ConTeXt/LuaTeX/METAPOST. What I find is sites that for instance end in 2011. documentation that is from 2013, or on Pragme-ADE a show-man.pdf PDF with an overview of documentation that doesn’t open any underlying document.

Take a look into the documentation folder [1] of your ConTeXt installation. A few of the documents mentions ConTeXt related extension to MetaPost but the basics haven't changed and the old tutorials work.

If you install ConTeXt from http://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm in the installation tree you'll find docs under tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/ There you'll always find the docs at their last revision. Massi
