Hi:

I know that some people are using ConTeXt with Omega. What's the benefit to using Omega instead of a native ConTeXt module? Is it better to develop ConTeXt's language handling capablilities (as with the Chinese package) or use Omega OTPs?

it depends on what you want to achieve, so: what do you have in mind? [omega is *not* a multi lingual system, it's a 32 bit tex, with a preprocessor (otp) and multidirectional typesetting; there's nothing really new in terms of primitives related to languages, for instance there is no \chinesenumeral (which is why i had to define it myself)] Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
