Hi (bis)
I'd like to share my newbie experience about tables.
With iPages, the ''fabulous, marvelous, amazing, simple" word processor
from apple,
It took me more or less half an hour to design and fill a table, with
fixed width colored cells and so on.
Unfortunately, once I saved the document, iPages could no longer open
it anymore... :-(
I then spent a pair of pair of hours (minus half an hour) to try to
repair things... with no success.
With ConTeXt, I spent a pair of pair of hours (minus half an hour)
trying to design my table, and less than half an hour to fill it.
Now the work is complete. :-)
But I am not really satisfied, I feel frustrated because I have the
impression that it took me too much time.
It appears that neither texshow nor garden did help me. So I digged
into standard Google, and it pointed me to the context mailing list
archive, finally pointing me to the name of the right manual at pragma
ADE. Fortunately, this up-to-date manual was online .
Once, my work was complete, I understood that the Google search on
context garden wiki was limited to context garden...
I then found that some information I was missing about tables was on
the context garden tabulate page...:-/
But I have the impression that the manuals do contain much more than
available on contextgarden.
So, is it possible to have the Google search engine at context garden
also look into the manuals?
Moreover, how do you formulate a request in standard google? Adding the
"ConTeXt" key word does not lead to accurate results.
