Hi Marcus, That is very good of you, and a good example of 'cultivando o bem'! Parabéns! I have downloaded the code. My OS is also Linux. I shall take a good look at it. Thank you, Julian On 13/5/20 4:38 am, Marcus Vinicius Mesquita wrote:

Hi, Julian

I uploaded to github a cover I designed and created with ConTeXt some time ago for a book I typesetted called “Cultivando o bem” for a buddhist organization. It is quite a complete example and illustrates the power of ConTeXt. The comments in the code are sparse and not exactly detailed as you wish, but I hope it will be useful to you. My OS is linux and I use a Makefile to generate all the necessary files.

You can access the code at:

Greetings

Am wondering if anybody has a complete example (explained below) of

a book cover: front, spine and back. It doesn't matter how simple or complicated the example. Am one of those people who, once he sees an example, can generally work out the necessary adaptations.

...

By a complete example I mean the kind of thing found here Creating a

style file in ConTeXt | Random Determinism where the writer explains things bit by bit but importantly, offers a summary of the code at the end. I probably don't need the lengthy explanation but the summary of code is most helpful - except that it is not about a book cover:-)

...

As a relative newcomer to ConTeXt, I have found complete examples of

something I want/need to do very useful. Of course, many such are on the wiki, but from time to time I need something else, and right at the moment I need a bit of guidance for a book cover, and an example might help.
