After all, it's most definitely a ConTeXt-specific thing. Maybe you should go the same route as the other "external" modules? I don't know, where do the other ConTeXt module get discussed? Does DocbookInConTeXt have its own mailing list? Anyway, I'm glad to hear that the latest e-Omega is working for you too :) these news are the best ones me and the others of the e-Omega task force can receive :) But, if you find a way to support CJK *without* e-Omega, you should also try that route; there already is some support for Chinese, AFAIK, in ConTeXt, so maybe something else can be done without making use of Omega-specific features (you're welcome to make use of e-TeX features, which are now almost universally available). In any case, good luck with your project, -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
