Only the ones I do. I lay out and typeset books for money. I can use any tools I like. For something simple like a novel I use plain pdftex. But if there is any degree of complication in the layout I use Context. I'm a little busy this morning but if you like I can send you a list of books I have set up using Context. In fact, visit my page http://wexfordress.com/wexref.html About half those books were done in Context. John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters

One of the reasons may be that a lot of editors don't change the default layout of LaTeX, so many LaTeX books look like the standard classes. But there is no real default ConTeXt layout (well, not really usable :-) so there is more distinction involved here. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

I remember you once showed me some layouts that were set with QuarkXPress originally, but you rebuild and optimized them with ConTeXt... Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

All of the ones at the site below. "History of Astronomy" is actually a facimile reprint, so Context is rather incidental, although it is used to assemble all the pages. -Bill -- Sattre Press History of Astronomy http://sattre-press.com/ During the 19th Century info@sattre-press.com by Agnes M.

There are two books of the German Unitarian Fellowship that I set with ConTeXt: - Was glauben sie eigentlich (about the fellowship) - UNvollendeter Weg (texts by Kofi Annan about the UNO) see http://verlag.unitarier.de Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net
