Thanks a lot for this offer. Due to my hesitation and my holidays I submitted the workshop after the deadline of the FrOSCon CFP so I guess that there won't be a ConTeXt workshop this time.

But you never know, often deadlines were extended.

I'll keep you updated.

My workshop was accepted. What shall I cover? It's a workshop for beginners? - Installation - Hello word What would you cover? Project structure? Style creation? I think one part will be: Where to find documentation? Any hints appreciated. And if you want to join me in the workshop you're welcome! juh

In my experience, most participants will know LaTeX, i.e. you must tell them to forget everything they believe to know about TeX ;P

Oh, and don’t tell them that ConTeXt LMTX is much, much faster than any LaTeX, because that’s a secret ;) (On the German list TeX-D-L some are discussing if LuaTeX is better than pdfTeX/XeTeX, and some are complaining that LuaLaTeX is too slow, of course...) HR

Only dodos do ConTeXt.

Tell them there will be a German book next year (I hope...); I’ll send you a link off-list.

I’m looking forward to your book. In the meantime there is a short guide at:

Thank you – I can’t remember you ever announced that? I quickly looked through it and, of course, found a few things that I didn’t cover yet. Hraban

I did in 2018 and in return you send me an early version of your book.

Ok, it’s been a while.

Looking deeper, I also found a lot of errors.

Most of the things in there I learned on this mailing list.

Me too. And of course at ConTeXt meetings (hint: https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2022/) Hraban

Just for the record: luametatex is *not* optimized for context, it just provides (rather generic) stuff not present in other engines that we can benefit from. That said: of course after decades of context we know what is missing in tex that we could benefit from, and we do. One distinction between luatex and luametatex is that we delegate some more to lua. The reworked math engine is something that is probably very contextisch if only because other macro packages are locked into "chisseled in stone ams (and alike) math as the only thruthful and accepted by publishers way to do it" so there the "optimized" sort of applies, in the sense that we can fully benefit from it as well have extra features that make certain things possible.
