Jim,
I’m very busy with my own publishing projects, but as soon as I can find
the time, I’ll take a look at the new version of “A Not So Short,” as
well as your proposal to document the basics of indexing and
glossaries. In short, while ConTeXt allows you to quickly implement
simple indexes (e.g., “apple [page] 12, 18, 25”) without any special
technical knowledge, things get more tricky if you want an index with
headings, subheadings, etc.

Thanks, Jim, for your work on a new version of ANSS-CE. While it didn't
provide me with *exactly* what I was looking for I found it valuable
because (1) it shows a LMTX way of doing things. I am often frustrated
with reading documentation relating to the older versions of ConTeXt; and
(2) by reading the source code of the chapter on lists I am presented
with a lot of ideas for modifying what I did finally do. I'm looking
forward to working through the other chapters for learning.
Other noobies like me will thank you for your efforts!
Hi Kirk,
You're very welcome. I got a lot out of ANSS when I was a total n00b, and
now that I'm just a semi-n00b, I still refer to it (well, I now refer to
ANSS-CE) every now and then.
While you are reading, if you see any typos or poorly-worded sentences,
please let me know and I'll (try to) fix them up.
Also, I'm always looking for other contributors. Maybe when you have
glossaries all figured out, you, Jean-Pierre D and Peter M could write a
"Glossaries" section for ANSS-CE. :-)
Cheers.
Jim
