There's one command I have learnt during my first weeks with Context:

grep -r "setuphanging" /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/ [or whatever it is your looking for]

It's fast and allows you to filter the source files you need to look at. They are surprisingly explicit and thus (at least in part) accessible even for computer illiterates like myself.

Hi Thomas, thanks for the info - indeed a very useful command! I also tried it on "page-nnt", "core-nnt" and "core-lnt" from todays answer on your critical edition thread (see below). But although I have ConTeXt's latest beta installed there was nothing grep could find. Do you have an idea where to find further information on this? Steffen P.S. When reading source:what does \c! or \v! mean?

In March/April 2002, Hans and Idris had an interesting exchange about the topic "critical editions in context" here in ntg-context; the main question was whether the functionality of edmac could be implemented in context. I'd be curious to know whether anything came out of it, I couldn't find any follow-up.

Hans has already done some preliminary work in this direction. I could not completely test it because the implementations used hooks from e-TeX. Now that eOmega/Aleph is available I will be able to be a bit more proactive in testing/suggesting things.

I don't remember if Hans added the xperimental stuff for critical editions to the latest beta. But I'm going to have to start testing this stuff soon, because the next issue of our journal is supposed to have a couple of small Arabic critical editions in it.

if i'm right, you have somewhere:

\input page-nnt \input core-nnt \input core-lnt

(multiple footnote classes, arbitrary footnote placement, line refs in footnotes and so)

There is always another surprise in ConTexT. I mean: How should I know?

I didn't know either. :-)

you mean that I should actually *use* ConTeXt? Not just playing with it? Hmm, sounds ok to me. Patrick -- Silent is the goldfish in its bowl
