I think it's a fantastic reorganization of the material. And I am proud to have been, in a way, its promoter. But I understand that the fairest thing to do is to remove my name from the authorship of the text, to put the name of the real author, and, if anything, in the credits and copyright page, to indicate that it is inspired by a text written by me. I am not saying this because I don't like the text, on the contrary. I say it because I don't deserve to be attributed the authorship of something that someone else has written and that implies more knowledge about ConTeXt than I have. In fact I am going to study it carefully. Thank you very much, Garulfo. It would be desirable that through initiatives of this type we manage to generate a good introductory literature to this fantastic text composition system that is ConTeXt.

Hi all,

concerning the fr version of "not so short introduction to ConTeXt"

I have just finished an attempt to reorganise the content. It is in "fr2" directory in the Github repository https://github.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to-context

It results from many many "copy/paste". I still have to review all the pages and flow between each section … (and  after to switch to the french interface of ConTeXt commands …).

New Table of Content

Part 1 - source code basics -------------------------------------------

       - source file        - syntax        - file organization

Part 2 - Markup -------------------------------------------------------

       - Chapter 2.1 - Main information flow                        Mostly linear flow                        From micro to more "structured + macro" items

              - Paragraphes               - Emphase de mots               - Emphase de paragraphes               - Encadrement               - Lignes et traits               - Citations               - Listes structurées               - Description et énumération               - Textes tabulés               - Tableaux               - Images et Combinaisons               - Objets flottants               - Sections               - Macro-structure               - Page de couverture et de titre               - Mathématiques               - Colonnes               - Autres éléments spécialisés

       - Chapter 2.2 - Complements to the main information flow                        Much less linear, it brings links, connexions

              - Table des matières               - Abréviations et glossaire               - Notes de bas de page               - Notes marginales               - Pièces jointes               - Références internes               - Références externes               - Références bibliographiques               - Listes des images, tableaux...               - Index

Part 3 - Typesetting "overall" ---------------------------------

       - Page layout        - En-tête et pied de page        - Polices        - Couleurs        - Langue        - Interactivité

Part 4 - Typesetting "specific" ---------------------------------

       - mirror of Part 2

3 principles for this new organization :

1/ clearly split "markup" and "typesetting/formatting"    in order to    - help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas    - deal with the markup (part 2) in as few as possible pages       - <60 pages       - one topic = 1 or 2 pages       - no    - prepare user to use env files    - limit digression as much as possible

2/ clearly split "main flow" and "complements to main flow"    in order to    - again help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas    - highlight the fact that complements are usually used to enrich      the main flow with "non-linearity"

3/ clearly split "general/global" and "specific/local" typesettings    in order to    - again help the reader to tidy up concepts / ideas    - prepare user to organise his env files

You can find a one page summary here :

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to...

The 8 following pages provide a quick visual overview of the 28 topics that will be detailed in "part 2" and "part 4".

Links help the reader to go on the associated pages (markup or typesetting)

Any comment or idea is welcome.
