Hello, First of all, thanks to NTG for the proceedings book. I have a rather specific question. In my workplace, there are many forms in Word format: TITLE OF THE FORM A student ___________________________ (name, surname) was employed at ________________ (place) _______ (date) bla-bla bla-bla The fields represented here by underlines should be filled in. Typically, it should be done electronically for a number (say, a group) of students, and then printed out. Performing this task in Word was proven to be error-prone and tedious. What is the best way to handle such forms in ConTeXt? Maybe, some generic examples are already available? Obviously, data could be stored in simple relational database-like columns: Name, Place, Data. But what format to choose? XML, CVS, plain text? Regards, Vyatcheslav
